Mage? Spell Engineer!

"Master Rorschach, your partiality is very serious!"

The Kano I saw when I entered was extremely serious. He was now wearing a monocle, writing and drawing while asking Rorschach questions.

All in all, thanks to the original person's hard study, Master Kano did not stump Rorschach in terms of magic theory.

But the next question reflected the serious educational differences between the Holy Kingdom Magic Tower and the Imperial Royal Academy.

"How many times have you read "The Complete Book of Moon Phases"?"

".Heard it."

""The Interpretation of Dreams and the Sea of ​​Consciousness"?"

"I think... I've heard of it."

"Crowley's Twelve?"

"Never heard of it." Rorschach was also sweating a little now.

"."

Kano simply put down his pen and asked angrily: "Then what books did you read in college?"

Rorschach took out a precious hardcover tome from the ring:

boom! "Encyclopedia of Elementary Spells"

boom! "Geometric Analysis of Standard Magic Array"

boom! "Anatomy of the Magic Circuit of the Human Body"

…

"Stop! I said stop! There's no room on the table!" Kano was frightened by the momentum of the statement. He opened the book tremblingly and read a page.

Turn it over, turn it over again.

In the end, the archmage was heartbroken: "I really missed the mark and asked Caroline to recommend something!"

"Master Kano, you are the chief professor and yet you attack me personally!"

"Can those trained by your empire still be considered mages? They are just stonemasons and artillerymen! Where has the beauty of magic gone!"

Luo Xia said seriously: "Great power is beauty, high energy efficiency is beauty."

Kano gritted his teeth: "You'd better behave well, otherwise the Tower of Stars will no longer accept graduates from the Imperial Academy of Magic in the future!"

After Master Kano's strict assessment, Master Rorschach finally received a class schedule.

The curriculum in Rorschach’s hand is different, it comes in two colors:

The dark green handwriting is the course he needs to take, while the dark red is the course he wants to teach Kano.

According to the custom of this world, ten days is a cycle. The first five days are in class and teaching others, the next four days are spent helping in Master Kano's laboratory, and the last day is rest.

Red and green, what a bullshit game! Rorschach still doesn't know what's going on in the research room, but he hopes he won't clock in at eight o'clock and finish work at ten-thirty at night like in his previous life.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Rorschach was stopped by Kano before leaving:

"Valuana has not been so peaceful in recent years. You must not participate in some, um, activities where extreme young people gather. Even the Tower of Stars will have a hard time recruiting people on this issue."

"Okay, I understand." Actually, Rorschach didn't fully understand, but he seemed to have guessed a little bit.

"Hello apprentices, I am your substitute teacher Rorschach. From today on, I will teach you the 'General History of Magic' for Professor Kano."

Rorschach wrote his name on the slate.

You only need to inject ether into the special willow stick (do as the Romans do, we don't talk about "magic" in the Holy Kingdom) to leave traces of writing, and you can erase it by changing the end of the willow pen. Rorschach liked this—no need to smoke chalk dust.

At first, the apprentices were very interested in the new teacher. The face of the young man on the podium was still a bit immature, at least younger than many people in the audience.

The time for recruiting apprentices in the Magic Tower is not strictly limited, and graduation requires completing the credits and passing the mage assessment organized by the magic guild. Under the strict system of strict entry and strict exit, there are now more than 20 apprentices listening to the lectures of the 16-year-old teacher.

It is normal for some people to be unconvinced, and people from the Holy Kingdom and the Empire are naturally somewhat hostile.

I now understand what it feels like to be a water class teacher in college. As Rorschach was talking, he saw the guys below starting to do their own things and sleep. The circular classroom had an atmosphere of laziness and laziness.

There is also a day when I teach water lessons to others. If the general history class was not a water class, Professor Kano would not let Rorschach take over the class.

As a student who had to skip elective courses and skip compulsory courses, Luo Xia was embarrassed to deal with the following apprentices. Looking around, there were only two or three students in the front row listening carefully.

“In the thirty-seventh year of the New Calendar, the Church of Light and Order launched the first holy expedition and resisted the invasion of the mainland by followers of the invisible god.

This series of huge battles not only protected the continent, but also successfully established the general territory of the Holy Kingdom and the southern countries after the collapse of the old empire.

The power and authority of the church reached its peak, and Saint Pepin, the first king of the Holy Kingdom, accepted the coronation of the Pope.

In order to resist the pressure of the church, the Four Elements Tower, the Tower of Light, and the Tower of Darkness organized a cross-continental magician organization for the first time, which was the prototype of today's magic guild."

After all, he was a little annoyed that no one was listening. Rorschach thought of a trick he used to hate: "Can any lady or gentleman talk about the historical significance of the first holy expedition based on what I just said?"

As expected, only the apprentices in the front row were flipping through books to organize the answer to this question.

"Well, this teacher, can you change your position? Why do you still ask questions and make things difficult for us in a class like this?"

A burly apprentice in the audience spoke, and others whispered, and the classroom suddenly fell into commotion.

Rorschach noticed that everyone else was wearing apprentice robes, but he opened his robe as a cloak, revealing the fine clothes underneath, showing his aristocratic status.

“What kind of course does this classmate think ‘General History of Magic’ is?”

Rorschach didn't wait for the prick to answer, and said to himself: "It's optional, right? After all, understanding history won't make your magic more sophisticated."

Bang, Rorschach closed the thick textbook and raised it up: "What I just talked about, magic did not account for much. On this podium, I first talked about the situation after the collapse of the old empire, and how the church started The first holy expedition finally talked about how the magic guild was established under the duress of the situation.

It can be seen that there is no isolated history of magic. We are all in the history of mankind and even the history of the world.

What does it mean to be a magician? Miracles, power, glory...is power equated with status?

Having an apprentice seems to mean becoming a mage, there is endless money to spend, countless servants, and the king will kiss your boots...

You have not thought about the role of mages in this world, you have not thought about the situations mages faced in the past and now, and you have not noticed the difference between mages in the Holy Kingdom and the Empire, even though he is right in front of you, let alone thinking about why not Same.

If you think about it, you won't think this course is irrelevant.

Perhaps most of you here are like me, a former apprentice, who long for a better future, but have no reflection on that picture, and do not realize that it is an illusion, an illusion that will be shattered when you succeed or fail in the mage examination.

Many spellcasters take everything the world gives us for granted. Just because we're assholes who play with the ether? Why?

I’m not asking you to find a god and thank Him a thousand times. Please find the answer yourself from history, instead of being in a tower and ignoring everything that has happened in the past and what is happening now, and then knowing nothing about what will happen in the future.

get out of class is over. "

It feels so good to preach to others! Rorschach walked out of the classroom holding his textbook.

There is no manuscript saved, it is freshly released, welcome to catch bugs
