Magic!

Chapter 40 40. Goodbye tentacle monster!

Tap tap tap tap.

Faintly, there seemed to be heavy footsteps outside the classroom.

The originally noisy classroom gradually became quiet.

A white-haired old man walked in from the front door.

The appearance of this old man who has just stepped into the classroom looks like the best interpretation of the stereotype of a magician.

He was wearing a traditional mage robe, with white hair in a hood. His face was old and wrinkled, his eyes were full of wisdom, and he was holding a wooden staff that was more than one meter long.

I saw the old man walking straight to the podium.

"classmates……"

The old man cleared his throat, his voice elegant and magnetic.

The classroom became silent, and even the last whispers stopped.

"We are all first-year students. I think you should have a preliminary understanding of the grade promotion system in the college.

"In the academy, fierce competition is an eternal theme. There are many students here. How many of you will be promoted to the second grade next year?

"I can tell you that this figure is less than 1/10.

“Every year, less than 1/10 people are able to complete the final assessment of the first year of the college, reach the spiritual level required for promotion, and successfully advance to the second year.

“And the vast majority of students can only continue to repeat the first grade.

"And among the less than 10% of students who successfully advance to the second grade, most of them are students who have repeated the first grade for many years. There are very few wizards who can be successfully promoted to the second grade in the second year of school. few.

"This is the academy. Only truly outstanding people can be promoted to higher grades here. Don't think that you will definitely be promoted to the second grade simply by relying on the accumulation of time!

"Talent, opportunity, hard work, inspiration, epiphany, practice, each one is indispensable. The road to transcendence cannot be progressed by just accumulating time. Spell casters who fail to overcome the bottleneck will remain in the same place for many years, or even Examples of regression abound!

"Don't think I'm scaring you. If you don't find the right method, it's not impossible to repeat first grade for decades."

After listening to the old mage's speech, a serious atmosphere filled the classroom. It seemed that the students all felt the cruelty and difficulty of the competition in the academy and the road to transcendence.

"Is it really possible to repeat the first grade for decades? It's better for such an ignorant guy to leave the academy as soon as possible."

In the audience, Bai obviously didn't believe it and murmured to the tall boy next to him.

The tall boy in the seat next to Bai is the same tarantula who was sprayed with filth last week. He is an old student who has been in the first grade for four years. It wasn't until these two days that the other brothers and sisters in the White Wolf Club were willing to get close to him.

"Okay, students, my speech is over." After the old mage on the podium finished speaking, he bowed and saluted the audience:

"The above is the experience I can share with you as a senior who has repeated the first grade for more than 50 years. Thank you, classmates."

"My classmates, just call me old man. We are all classmates, and you are welcome to share your experiences and thoughts. My dream in this life is to be promoted to the second grade in my lifetime!"

After finishing his speech, the old mage walked carefully to the audience with a wooden cane, found an empty seat, and sat on it.

"What, so he's not a teacher?" Bai's eyes almost fell down.

He complained to the tarantula next to him:

"You are an old student, so you should be able to recognize that the old man is a student. Why were you so quiet just now? I thought it was the teacher!"

Wolf Spider retorted:

"The old man will come on stage every year to share this passage, inspiring students to study hard and spiritually, and be promoted to the second grade! It has been like this since my parents entered school. This is a tradition, and I don't dare to interrupt him."

While the two were discussing, another figure appeared at the door of the classroom.

The students, including Russell, all looked at him again.

This time it must be the teacher.

Wait, is that?

A large group of indescribable tentacles came in from the door, many of which had eyeballs on the tops. This weird tentacle monster walked into the classroom with such swagger.

Isn't that the tentacle monster I saw on the way to the canteen before? Russell thought about it.

After the tentacle monster entered the classroom, it did not cause any disturbance or panic. The students seemed not to have seen this terrifying monster.

Instead, the tentacle monster was looking around, looking left and right with several tentacles with eyeballs, as if looking for an empty seat.

"Clara, Clara, sit in front of us! The seat in front of classmate Russell is empty."

Sitting next to Russell, Black Feather waved to the tentacle monster.

Russell's pupils were slightly opened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his expression remained calm.

"Are you inviting me? Kuroba-san."

The tentacle monster made a soft and obedient female voice, seeming to be flattered and very embarrassed.

She slowly walked in front of Russell and Black Feather, and this large group of tentacles just sat on the seats.

Russell raised his eyebrows.

Black Feather quietly introduced the tentacle monster in the front row to Russell:

"Russell, this is the girl who was bullied by the White Wolf Club as I told you before."

"Is she the girl you said you liked before?" Russell's mouth twitched slightly, he lowered his voice and pointed to the large group of tentacles and eyes on the seat in front of him.

The girls bullied by the White Wolf Club are not simple.
