Chapter 1,689 Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone (4)
Chapter 1662 Bruce Wayne and the Sorcerer’s Stone (4)
After Little Bruce left, the atmosphere in the venue fell silent for a moment. At this time, Schiller cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention back. Everyone suddenly felt a little nervous and was very worried that the professor would vent his anger.
on their heads.
"Excessive humility will make you a lamb in the eyes of evil people. This is the first lesson you must learn at Gotham Academy of Magic."
Schiller spoke, but his tone was very calm. He said: "In the magical world, pride is not necessarily a bad thing. Obedience to authority here may get you killed. If you let those powerful beings go unchecked, the consequences will be your own."
Offer up body and soul."
Strange, who was leaning back in his chair, nodded very reservedly, obviously agreeing with Schiller's view, but Schiller quickly said.
"But it is also a very important lesson to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. You must know who is standing with you and who you want to stand with. Only by defeating your enemies and respecting and caring for your kind can you learn knowledge and
All the effort you put into mastering a skill is valuable.”
Constantine also nodded. He and Zatanna took the lead in applauding, and then applause also broke out from below.
Schiller shook his head and said: "I know this occasion is not suitable for preaching, but the things I want to say include being polite to your teachers and professors, and not attacking and insulting your classmates wantonly. We
The school has a punishment mechanism."
When he said this, all the children pricked up their ears. They were indeed impatient of preaching, but they were also afraid of punishment.
"We have different punishments for different levels of mistakes, ranging from community service punishments such as cleaning the common room, trimming hedges and shrubs, getting up early to clean the stone paths and corridors, to large ones such as confinement, suing parents and suspension from school.
and expulsion, you should have heard these in other schools."
The children below all nodded, and then Schiller continued: "Different colleges will have different school rules. For details, you can ask the prefect of your grade... By the way, did I say that? This college is a strong one.
Prefect system The prefect is the leader of the grade.”
There was a burst of noisy discussion below. The prefect system has almost been abolished in modern schools. At most, there is only one student union president, and some schools no longer even elect monitors.
But this is not unreasonable. Too much decentralization of power will make the class of students too obvious, and many children of this age do not know how to use power correctly. Once a child has too much power, it is easy to form cliques.
school bullying, so many schools in Europe and the United States, especially in the lower grades, do not elect class cadres at all.
But the situation of the Magic Academy is special. Children must learn how to use power and how to face power earlier. To put it simply, you can't even deal with the prefects, so you still want to deal with angels and demons?
The purpose of ordinary public education is to ensure fairness as much as possible, but the purpose of Gotham Academy of Magic is to let students understand the dangers of the magical world in advance, so a certain degree of oppression is necessary. Flowers in the greenhouse and temperless people
The living Buddha will only give up the school's training to those powerful beings.
Schiller glanced at the students below again. These children were younger, generally only eight or nine years old. They all looked like frightened quails. Schiller's eyes paused on Barry Allen's face, and then
Then he spoke.
"You are younger, so we will do this as a separate grade. Next, you can write down the college you want to choose on paper. After the colleges are divided, we will select the prefects of your grade."
"That's why I say you'd better have a certain degree of respect for the dean and professors. There are many things that only we know. We have no intention of oppressing students, so if you don't ask for advice humbly, we have no objection. It's just because you are behind."
No one can make up for what you have missed through ignorance.”
After speaking, Schiller showed a smile, stood up together with several other professors, and began to distribute notes to the students.
The younger students took the notes and wrote while communicating in low voices with their peers. Most of them were gloating. What little Bruce just said about poor people was not just scolding Barry, even if he was rich.
Children from this family also looked down upon his appearance of being the only rich person in the world.
That's good. He left early. When the colleges are divided and the prefects are selected, he won't have any part in it. A major feature of the strong prefect system is that the prefects have power over all other students. It's almost
Dominating an entire grade, it seems that those annoying blue eyes may have to live with their tail between their legs in the future.
With this in mind, the students wrote their own notes one after another. Because they entered school late, they had a certain understanding of the reputation of each college. Even if they had not experienced it, they all chose colleges with the same interests and hobbies.
Barry Allen finally chose Rodriguez College. It wasn't that he really listened to the advice or couldn't swallow it, but that he was really interested in magic theory.
He has liked to read some magic-themed novels since he was a child, and has also imagined himself becoming an omnipotent mage in the novels. However, the focus of his love for magic lies in its weird requirements. As for actually wielding a wand and fighting with others,
Instead, he wasn't that interested.
After the sorting was completed, the deans led the students to the dean's office. Schiller's office is located in the tallest tower among the floating spiers of Rodriguez College. It is on the same floor as the student dormitories and public activity rooms, just because the college currently has
There are so few students that no one has moved into the student dormitory in the steeple, so there is only one dean's office on that entire floor.
When he led the students to the front of the college, Kane took the initiative and began to introduce the facilities in the college to the freshmen. Kane is the prefect of the senior class. Being able to successfully run among a group of children from big families shows that he
He has certain abilities, so the introduction is detailed and interesting.
"You have to watch the steps under your feet carefully, but it's not because you will step in the air. These suspended steps look dangerous, but in fact, there are wind and floating runes engraved on the bottom of each step. Even if you fall, you will be safe.
It will be blown up, it’s just a bit scary.”
"I believe you have seen that there are runes on the front of the steps. These runes change every day. The runes displayed every day are the runes taught by professors in this college. However, there will be records on them that some professors will not teach in class.
Interesting little stories and short sentences.”
"If you look down at it while walking, it will not only allow you to review your knowledge, but also allow you to focus on your steps instead of making a fuss on the stairs and causing them to fall down."
The students began to nod, and Kane smiled and said: "I have no intention of speaking ill of anyone behind their back, but your senior sister, Miss Harley Quinzel, who left with the blue-eyed student before, has fallen before.
Once, the funny thing is, she falls down an average of three times a week, as if she can never remember to look down at the road.”
The children all laughed, and Kane shook his head and said, "So don't expect her to introduce these things like me. I just hope that the gentleman from the Wayne family can rely on his wisdom and wealth to avoid disasters."
, don’t really fall down."
"Lefa." Schiller called Kane's name, turned to look at him and said, "You talked a lot today. I hope you can answer questions so fluently when I review the homework later."
Kane smiled sheepishly, ran quickly behind Schiller, then waved behind him and said, "Hurry up, ladies and gentlemen, we have to have dinner after I finish talking about the precautions."
Schiller took them to the dean's office on the top floor. It was also spacious and bright, and the whole place was semicircular. There were curved floor-to-ceiling windows as big as half a spire. The ground was a bright and clean marble floor. The second floor was hollowed out.
The walls above the upper floor are all densely packed with bookshelves.
The first floor has a reception area covered with soft carpets and sofas, a desk with bookshelves, office chairs, stairs leading to the second floor and some sculptures that sparkle with magic.
"This star sculpture is a gift from Constantine to our dean, and this moving painting is a congratulatory gift from Jim, the master of the dark night... Look at the shredder, that is Professor Schiller's outstanding graduate
A gift from his father."
"Don't underestimate that paper shredder. In addition to shredding your papers, it can also shred you personally, so you'd better hand in some less eye-catching papers, otherwise..."
Kane deliberately made a face to scare the younger students. Miss Spencer rolled her eyes, smoothed her hair and said, "Don't listen to him. Although Professor Schiller looks serious, he has strict academic requirements."
It’s also quite strict, but it’s very good for students.”
"For example, we can knock on the door at his office at any time and just ask if we have any questions. He will occasionally come to the public activity room to visit us, and he hardly cares about the small mistakes we make in life, but the premise is that you
Hand in your homework on time."
"Do we have a lot of homework?" one of the students asked.
"I won't leave a lot of homework." Schiller walked to the desk, looked back at the students and said: "I pay more attention to the quality of the homework, so you can complete it according to the prescribed number of words. Even if you put in the maximum effort, then including searching
Including the information, it will not take more than two hours to complete the assignment.”
"Okay, come here, children, I will explain to you the precautions of this college. If you don't listen carefully, your seniors and senior sisters will not repeat it to you, because these are all
Very basic rules.”
The students walked to the reception area, and under Schiller's signal, they sat down in twos and threes on the sofa and the carpet next to them. The old students very consciously gave up their seats to the freshmen, and most of them stood behind the sofa or leaned against it.
The bookshelf stands.
Kane went to light the nearby fireplace and brought some tea and biscuits. Barry felt a little hungry, but he didn't dare to get them. Miss Spencer took the initiative to pick up the biscuit plate and distribute biscuits to the freshmen.
"You don't have to be so restrained. We often hold afternoon tea parties and reading groups in the public activity room at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. You can also come and participate. You can learn a lot." Miss Spencer said.
A cup of tea was handed to Barry Allen, and then he went to greet the students behind him.
Holding the slightly hot cup, Barry felt a little better. The tension in his heart dissipated. He took a bite of the biscuit and found that it had been baked on the fireplace. It was extra crispy and filled with the aroma of butter and cheese.
.
With food in their bellies and no worries in their hearts, after eating and drinking for a while, the students obviously relaxed and gathered together in twos and threes to communicate. However, everyone had just met and there were no past events to share. Most of them were
Talking about the arrogant blue eyes before.
After a while, Schiller came down from the second floor with some school uniforms in his hand. Kane hurried up to pick them up.
At this time, the students discovered that Schiller was wearing a rather formal mage robe. Although it was still black, it was a bit more gorgeous and elegant than the serious and formal black suit.
