Magic!

Chapter 43 43. Questions

Opal’s lectures were exciting:

"The second law of magic is sometimes called the 'law of contact' by ordinary people, or 'the part affects the whole'.

“Once objects come into contact, they are forever connected.

"Australian spellcasters believe that if you want to ensure that the wounds of an injured person heal, you need to slather the body of the injured person's loved ones with oil.

"Students in astrology and numerology courses probably also know that it is best to have items taken from the target of divination, or simply the hair or blood of the target.

"Similar connections are common in the supernatural field. Everyone's birth date and specific time are closely related to people's numerology. This is the source of astrology theory...

Teacher Opal on the stage continued to talk without any sign of stopping, leaving Russell with no chance to inform the teacher about the tentacle monster issue.

"Most of the students here, as well as the teachers you have come into contact with, use pseudonyms. Teachers like to use the names of certain gemstones as their code names, while the students' pseudonyms are all kinds of things - I often think I am in a zoo or a botanical garden. Or the armory. (Laughs)

"You should know that this is using code names to avoid the mystical connection between the name and the real person. Of course, not every student cares about this, because after the code name is used many times, it will also establish a mystical connection with the main body. This This connection is at most a little weaker than the real name I have used since childhood."

"This is the essence of the second law of magic. Abstract connections are universal and do not expire due to the passage of time..."

Speaking of this, Russell remembered that the old mage who was mistaken for the teacher just now had the pseudonym "Old Man".

But he has been repeating grades for decades.

When a young old man enters school, is he already called "Old Man"?

"Then there is the third law of magic. It is simpler than the first two laws and has only one sentence - imagination constructs reality!

"But after many years of improvement, the supernatural world changed it into a more accurate version——

“The imagination of a gifted person constructs reality!”

"The fact that you are able to sit here and listen to lectures, instead of being like the more than 8 billion people left on the earth, who may not be able to come into contact with any supernatural things throughout your life, shows that you are gifted people and extraordinary beings who have experienced spiritual awakening. He is the lucky one picked out of a million..."

Symbols and concepts trump substance and physical qualities, connections across time and space are universal, and the imagination of gifted individuals constructs reality.

Russell secretly remembered the essence of the three laws of magic in his heart, and thought about the possible directions for improving the soul-stirring technique.

At this time, Professor Opal had just finished a lecture and was drinking water that came out of nowhere.

Russell hurriedly took the time to spread out the piece of paper with the tentacle monster's situation written on it, and prepared to lift the piece of paper for Professor Opal to see.

Professor Opal finished drinking the water and started the question session:

"Before the next lecture begins, can any student answer a question for me? There will be a credit reward."

Bai immediately sat up straight and listened patiently to the question.

"Students should know that many magic books are spread outside the supernatural world. They are written by ordinary people who actually have no talent for casting spells and have not experienced spiritual awakening. Most of the magic knowledge recorded in the books is wrong, but some occult sciences But the principle is correct, revealing the vague outlines of a truly transcendent world.

"But even in these low-nutrition magic books, the supernatural rituals and spells recorded are still extremely complex, and the conditions for casting spells are extremely harsh. A magic ritual almost always requires very harsh conditions to be completed. This condition may include Specific astrological environments, as well as very complex and rare materials - such as wands and swords that must be made by the caster's own hands, and mistletoe collected under rare astrological conditions.

"Why is this? Why does a magic ritual require such harsh conditions?

"Answer me with your knowledge!"

Shiro raised his hands at lightning speed.

"Classmate Bai, you answer." Opal remembered this white-haired boy. He and another girl named Qihai were the second in the admissions exam.

Bai is quite confident.

He comes from a wizarding family that has been passed down for more than a thousand years. He patted his chest and said:

"This is because magic is a precise art, a crown that is beyond the reach of most mediocre people. It must follow tradition perfectly, pay attention to every detail, and make no mistakes.

"Even ordinary charlatans who have no magic at all know this when they imitate those of us who are truly gifted - magic is a sufficiently complex and sophisticated art."

Professor Opal smiled.

Shiro also smiled.

"Okay, classmate Bai, sit down."

Shiro sat down with a blank look on his face.

There is no mention of credit award. Does this mean I got the answer wrong?

Professor Opal asked a few more students to answer questions, but they all seemed dissatisfied with the results.

At this time, he saw Russell, who was still holding up the note.

"Classmate Russell, please get up and answer the questions."

ah? Russell knew that he had been misunderstood, so he simply put down the note and stood up bravely.

Bai saw Russell standing up and had an unexpected feeling:

Sure enough, Russell would not let go of this opportunity to grab credits.

Uh, what's the problem?

After standing up, Russell realized that he had not paid attention to the question just now.

Sorry, when I posted it before, I missed a chapter when I copied and pasted it from the word document. Fortunately, someone told me right away that it had been corrected.

Because these chapters are small classes on mysticism and the progress of the plot has slowed down, I will add another chapter tonight. After all, my chapter is shorter than others.
