Magic!

Chapter 44 44. Modern sympathetic witchcraft, metaphysical card drawing

Russell looked around and saw a man holding a sign towards him.

It's Subway sitting in the corner of the classroom!

Subway relied on its "creation" ability to create a sign out of thin air, with the content of the teacher's question simply written on it.

Russell's mind was spinning rapidly.

He suddenly recalled the magic book he bought on Taobao.

What the merchant sold him was actually a fake book! There was no magic at all, and the book cost him 38 yuan.

Two seconds later, Russell gave the answer:

"Professor Opal, I think this is because the people who wrote those magic books are liars.

"If the conditions of the ritual were not so harsh, the materials required were not so complicated, and the reproduction was too simple, these erroneous magical knowledge would be discovered and falsified immediately.

"So, they need a magical ritual that is so difficult that almost no one can complete it, so that no one is qualified to question whether the book they wrote is fake."

Hearing Russell's words, the students burst into laughter, and the laughter was like a wave rolling in the classroom.

Such a scene seemed to appear before their eyes:

A group of old academics wearing glasses sat in front of parchment scrolls, racking their brains to make up some magical ritual conditions that were almost impossible to achieve - from swallowing a newly born toad alive to burning 10 monsters created by a hybrid of chicken and snake. Feather to ensure that no one can meet the recurrence conditions.

"Yes, that's the correct answer. Russell gets 2 credits." Teacher Opal said.

The laughter stopped. The classroom suddenly became quiet.

Silence fell.

Seeing this, Subway looked left and right, put his hands under the desk, and clapped wildly.

The others were led and started to applaud.

Thunderous applause broke the silence.

Russell sat down to loud applause.

Wolf Spider, a tall boy at Bai's desk, was also led by the crowd and started to applaud.

It wasn't until Bai patted his shoulder that Wolf Spider remembered his own experience of being dunked by Russell into a dirty basin, and quickly stopped applauding.

In the following time, Professor Opal explained some knowledge related to sympathetic witchcraft, which made Russell feel that it was very beneficial.

He already had preliminary ideas on how to improve the soul-catching technique, and planned to try it after class.

However, Russell never found the opportunity to inform the teacher about the tentacle monster, so he simply gave up and planned to wait until after class.

A class at the college usually lasts 3 to 4 hours, which is the entire morning.

This is because the students have all undergone spiritual awakening and are relatively strong in their ability to resist fatigue and hold in their urine.

During this period, Opal asked several questions, and several students received credit awards for answering the questions correctly. Among them is Tarantula, a tall boy from the White Wolf Club.

…

Near noon, Teacher Opal ended his lecture.

"Hello, Teacher Opal. Could you please tell me what the final assessment of this year's Principles of Witchcraft class will be?"

From the seat in front of Russell, Clara raised a tentacle and asked politely.

Russell remembered that Clara was not promoted to the second grade last year because she failed the final assessment of the Principles of Witchcraft class, so she was very concerned about this.

"Of course." Opal seemed to always have a smile on her face.

“My exam will not be a boring written test, nor will it test your rigid knowledge.

"This will be a practical examination of modern sympathetic witchcraft and a comprehensive assessment of your occult knowledge!"

A comprehensive assessment of occult knowledge?

The students became interested upon hearing this.

Russell, Subway, Bai, Wolf Spider, Clara and other students all pricked up their ears and appendages.

"The test content is very simple. Just draw the highest rarity character 10 times in a row."

ah? In the large classroom, countless faces were at a loss.

Is this a symbol or metaphor?

"It literally means that a few days before the end of the school year, I will ask you to download a mobile card drawing game. You need to draw the UP character with the highest rarity in the current period within a 10-game draw. To draw this character, you need to The fewer draws, the better the result. That’s it, gone.”

The classroom suddenly became agitated and lively, and the students almost went crazy. The air was filled with surprised "Huh?" sounds and crazy questions.

"Does this have anything to do with the principles of witchcraft?"

Professor Opal seemed to have anticipated the possible doubts from the students and said with a smile:

“The title of my next paper is, “Metaphysics in Card Drawing Mobile Games—On the Modern Application of Sympathetic Witchcraft.”

"Metaphysical card drawing is a typical modern sympathetic witchcraft. This is a comprehensive test of your metaphysical knowledge.

"Just as wizards in ancient times can cast curses on their enemies through items on their bodies, so of course you today must have similar abilities - by finding things related to the current UP character at the right time and at the right game location. Follow the trend of witchcraft and draw UP characters.

"Primitive witchcraft techniques (metaphysical card drawing) applied to card drawing have long been widespread. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who use them are just ordinary people, but you who are sitting in the classroom now have all experienced spiritual awakening. , a truly gifted spellcaster.

"There is no standard answer to this question. As far as I know, there is no known spell that any first-year student can master, which is specially designed for drawing cards in mobile games. So, students here, please use your wizardry flexibly. With knowledge of the technical principles, you can draw out the current UP character with one shot.

"I'm looking forward to your performance!"
