"...A senior once said something like this, 'The development of destiny is affected by many factors.' I think it is very reasonable. You are like this, and so am I."
"...When Dean Yao asked me to be a teaching assistant, I was actually very uneasy. I'm not kidding, I just don't understand how I, a current student of Jiuyou College, could come to Fringe College to be a teaching assistant? But
Dean Yao said that the school had already made a decision on this matter, so I went back to the dormitory and read the "First University Campus Management Regulations" all night to see if there was a more tactful way to refuse."
"...There is no punctuation in this regulation. Every page is densely packed with nonsense. I read it carefully for a long time before I could see the words between the words. There are only six words in the whole regulation - you have to listen to the school - so
After closing the regulations, I dutifully went to Professor Yao’s office to sign it the next day.”
"Then I stand in front of you."
Having said this, Zheng Qing paused, took a breath, picked up the tea on the desk, lowered his eyelids, and took a sip.
He finally understood why many teachers like to bring a drink during class, because it is really hard to talk at length. In just a few minutes, he felt that his throat had swollen, and the throat that could have allowed the breath to flow easily was already swollen.
The passage he passed through became narrow and dry, as if the air pressure in his throat was too low due to breathing too fast, and the flesh walls on both sides were squeezed flat by the air pressure.
The warm tea can relieve the dryness very well.
The young assistant coach took a deep breath, raised his eyes again, and looked towards the audience. His eyes first fell on the corner of the front row.
A ray of sunshine in the afternoon fell through the tall glass window and fell on Jiang Yu, making her seem to be covered with a layer of golden gauze. She looked at the podium intently, with a smile in her eyes and a clear gaze, which immediately made the boy's heart surge.
Courage enough to speak again:
"Before I entered First University, I knew nothing about the world of wizards. I was almost a novice."
The opening remarks prepared by Zheng Qing are still not over. He feels that if he wants his course to go smoothly, he must first let the new students in the classroom accept him, and if he wants these wizards who were originally on the edge of the alliance to accept him, he must first find common ground between both parties.
The second is to find the other person’s strengths.
Fortunately, he found both items easily:
"...It is true that I can draw a few talismans. When I was a child, I also saw a mermaid in the bathtub and a big dog with three heads. But there are not many more. Like other Bai Ding, I also thought that flower fairies and nymphs were
, unicorns, pumpkin cars, cloaks that make you invisible, and high heels that don’t hurt your feet are all things that only exist in fantasy.
But you don't think so.
You live on Phuket Island. Outside your house is the Silent River, and on the other side of the river is the vast Silent Forest. You deal with the centaurs, make deals with the fishmen, capture injured beasts, steal giants' lairs, and collect glowing mushrooms.
With the Talking Fruit - your knowledge of the basics of the magical world is unparalleled.
This is your greatest advantage."
Zheng Qing felt that after saying these words, the eyes of the wizards in green robes in the classroom all brightened up and their bodies became more upright, which immediately boosted his confidence.
"...I know that many of you are worried that you will not be able to keep up with the progress of your studies, master complex magic techniques, and understand those confusing magic theories. Believe me, when I first received the admission notice from First University
When I was studying, I was more frightened than you. The only thoughts in my mind were, 'Will I be dropped out of school if I can't keep up with the progress?' After dropping out, will I have to repeat another year?'
Well, repeating is a concept I had when I was in school in Baiding. It means that if you don’t get into college this year, you will go back to middle school to study for another year, and then retake the college entrance examination the next year.
Of course, the situation is now very clear. Just like what Mr. Thomas, who assisted me with the admission procedures, said, since the school has admitted you, you must meet the school's requirements. Now I give you this sentence
, don’t worry about becoming a loser, because every loser has the opportunity to truly feel every progress he makes.
The young eagle falls off the cliff, the cicada crawls out of its hard shell, and the hibernating snake sheds its heavy skin. Every living thing is constantly getting rid of the old shackles and welcoming new life. You are the same. Don't be afraid of new things, because everyone is facing it.
Facing the unknown tomorrow."
He raised the teacup in his hand again.
There was a burst of warm applause from the audience. It was very rare that Zheng Qing found that his companions did not take the opportunity to scream or whistle, so he did not know where to put his toes that were originally ready to dig into the ground.
He licked his dry lips and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Then turn around.
Write the two characters "福箓" on the blackboard.
"The most important thing when learning talismans is the foundation.
From the basic structure of the talisman, to the outline of each stroke of the rune, to the layout of the talisman, the finishing of the talisman feet, the sealing of the spirit into the pen, etc... Theoretically, if the various variables of the experiment cannot be controlled within a certain range
, then various accidents may occur during the experiment. The same is true for drawing talismans. If you cannot clearly understand the structure of the runes, and understand the talisman paper and talisman pens well, then mistakes will be made in any of your strokes.
But as long as you have a solid foundation, learning a new talisman will come naturally."
"So how do you lay a good foundation?"
Zheng Qing wrote two words on the blackboard again - concentrate and practice repeatedly.
"Don't think this is a cliché,"
He noticed many disapproving looks from the audience, and his tone was a little more serious: "It is very difficult to control distracting thoughts and concentrate on one thing. And it is even more difficult to ignore the temptation of five colors and five tones and practice repeatedly. Ordinary
Wizards are easily attracted by more profound and subtle magical skills. Therefore, concentration is your perfect opportunity to surpass them.
This semester, I have only one request for you, and that is to learn a talisman.
The learning here is not simply to be able to draw, but to be able to master it skillfully, to know under what circumstances this talisman can be used, under what circumstances this talisman will be the most powerful, and to do whatever you want without violating the rules.
Don't find it difficult.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, a tree that embraces each other is born from the smallest grain of wood, and a nine-story platform rises from the base of the earth.
No matter how difficult things are, they can be broken down into many not-so-difficult links, allowing people to grind them out bit by bit.
So, first of all, I will conduct a basic test on you to confirm the level of each person's talisman foundation. Then according to each person's situation, I will select a suitable talisman for you... Your volunteers will assist you,
Feel the basic properties of the talisman you choose..."
