Chapter 1,705 Bruce Wayne and the Chamber of Secrets (3)
Another fact proves that as long as your teacher is strong enough, you will always be threatened by the phrase "sue the teacher".
Even though Strange is already the world-renowned Supreme Mage, and even historians in the universe generally believe that his achievements are even higher, Strange still has a deep-seated fear of his teacher, the Ancient One.
But this cannot be said to be too cowardly. It is difficult to find a few people in the universe who are not afraid of Ancient One. To say that she has a fierce reputation is a bit conservative.
Seeing the slightly curious expressions on the other people's faces, Strange could only sigh and said: "My teacher Gu Yi, oh, her real name is 'Yao', she was born about 470 years ago.
Years ago, in a small village at the foot of the Himalayas, that village was called Kamal Taj."
"She came into contact with magic unintentionally, and with extremely high talent and great patience, she achieved Taoism with almost no one's help, and then started her extremely glorious life..."
In the lounge of Kama Taj, three children were lying side by side on a large bed that occupied half of the room. Each of them looked pale and dazed, even though there were magic bubbles on their heads that provided sufficient oxygen.
But their bodies are inherently more fragile than adults, and it takes longer to adapt to all this.
The Indian girl called Sirila brought three cups of hot tea on a tray and placed them on the small table in the middle of the big bed. She tried to talk to the three of them in Chinese, Indian dialect and English, and finally...
Harley, who was in the best shape of her life, replied to her.
"Hello, you can call me Harley. Can you tell us where we are now?"
"Didn't the Supreme Mage tell you in advance?" Shili pulled up the hem of her skirt, sat on the edge of the big bed next to Harry, and said: "This is Kama Taj Magic Academy, Supreme Master
The Master said that you are the new students here and you will report here today. Ade was originally responsible for your introduction, but I didn’t expect you to fall here."
"I am responsible for helping the Supreme Mage clean his study. When I saw you lying here, I was really frightened. But don't worry, this is not the first time this has happened."
"The altitude of this college is very high, and students also need such a high-altitude environment to exercise their bodies, so there is no magic that can help this school completely escape the effects of altitude sickness."
"The vast majority of freshmen will adapt at a lower altitude at the foot of the mountain for about two months. They call it 'preparatory' before they come up the mountain. The Supreme Mage was in a hurry when he gave the instructions. We all thought you
I’ve already taken preparatory courses.”
"You said...this is the Magic Academy?" Little Bruce raised his head with all his strength and asked with some difficulty.
"Yes, this is Karma Taj Magic Academy."
"You just mentioned...the Supreme Mage, what's his name?"
"I don't know his name, but I know his surname is 'Strange' and he is an American, which is different from the nationality of most people here."
The three children looked at each other, and little Bruce lay back down again, whispering in an almost endless sense of dizziness: "And Dean Strange's share..."
"You said most people here are not Americans?"
"There are some, but after all, the college was established in Asia, and most of the previous generation of mages were Asians, and their activities were also in Asia, so there will be more students from various Asian countries. For example, I am from India.
"
"But you speak English very well."
"Because my family background is very good. Although I don't want to mention those old almanacs, I am a member of the upper caste and come from Kshatriya, so I can go out to study alone."
"What other country are there people from?" Harley asked one after another. Anyway, they can do nothing but lie dead now, they can only learn as much information as possible.
"There are many, including China, Japan, India, Singapore, and of course Americans and Europeans, as well as many exchange students from magic organizations around the world." Sirila's voice was very soft, making people feel sleepy.
, under her soft narration, the three children roughly understood the differences between this magic academy and Gotham Academy of Magic.
First of all, this is an oriental magic academy. Although the students come from various countries, at least half of them are Asians. Because of Strange, there are also many Americans, and then there are Europeans and extremely rare Australians.
people.
But this is not surprising, because this magic academy is not the only one in the world. Most countries have their own magic organizations. Some are tied to popular beliefs, while others are independent and live in seclusion.
Secondly, this college does not adopt a college system, but an ordinary grade and class system, regardless of major, but there are elective courses. Currently, it has five years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of high school, a total of eleven grades.
It is also much larger than Gotham Academy of Magic, which now totals more than a thousand people.
The dean of this school is Dean Strange, whom they met at Gotham Academy of Magic. Obviously, the title of "Sorcerer Supreme" comes from this universe.
After paralyzing on the bed for a while, the three of them fell asleep several times due to dizziness. The hypoxic situation was finally relieved. They regained a little energy, but they were still required not to exercise strenuously, so they could only do it there.
The kang is a big hard bed like a tatami, and people drink tea and eat snacks around the small table in the middle.
Sirila helped them peel the melon seeds and then introduced them: "If nothing else, you should all go to elementary school. How many grades have you reached in ordinary society?"
Little Bruce's suspicious character made him not completely trust the people in this school, so he shrugged deliberately and said: "That's not important, we don't like school very much. Maybe the magic academy will be more interesting, there shouldn't be so many here
Annoying rules, right?”
Sirila turned around and looked at him from head to toe. Her light brown eyes looked very calm. She sighed softly and said, "You'd better not have too much hope. Almost every American student who comes here
, it will be very difficult in the first few weeks, the academic pressure here is much greater than that there."
"I have long heard that schools in Asia are very scary." Barry shrank his neck and said, "The senior students there have to attend twelve hours of classes a day. If it were me, I would go crazy."
Sirila's movements in her hands paused, and she pursed her lips and said, "I know you may have many wonderful fantasies about the Magic Academy, but I'm afraid our place is different from what you imagined."
"What exactly does it mean?"
"You'll find out when you go to class."
Soon, Master Song came in with several other mages. She clasped her hands and saluted the three children, and said: "Sorry, this is our mistake and made you suffer, but please don't be afraid.
It won’t cause any harm to you, and it will actually be good for your cardiopulmonary function once you get used to it.”
"The Supreme Mage has told me about your situation. The two boys will go to the second grade in the elementary school, and the girls will go directly to the fourth grade. If you feel that you can bear it, or even handle it with ease, you can choose to skip a grade later."
After speaking, Master Song waved to the two mages behind him, and they brought school uniforms, wands and necessary supplies on trays.
The school uniform of Karma Taj Magic Academy is dark brown. It is like a simplified version of the tunic in Hanfu. The cuffs and trousers are tightened, and the belt is also tied tightly. Although it is not as luxurious and graceful as the wide-sleeved robe, it is
It gives people a feeling of being capable and smart.
"Sorry, your wand cannot be activated now, but you will have your first wand usage lesson in about three days. Now follow me and I will take you to your dormitory."
The three children followed Master Song through the long suspended corridor and the frightening wooden plank road. After being washed by the wind and snow, they arrived at the second floor of the main building on the far left and stood there.
In the corridor, Master Song stretched out his hand and pointed to both sides and said.
"This is the men's dormitory, and this is the women's dormitory. They are dormitories for four people per room, but they are not full yet. You can choose to share a room with others or use a dormitory alone."
Then they visited the dormitory, which was very different from the dormitory at Gotham Academy of Magic. Generally speaking, it was all oriental style, with wooden floors, walls and doors, exposed furniture, and solid wood beds. Every place was cold.
Hard, not soft at all, but with a special elegance.
None of these three children have ever lived in the East, so they are very new to this. Look here and touch there. At least Harley is very satisfied with her future life. She stood at the corner of the corridor and said.
"Although I know this must be the plan of those professors, but this place is actually pretty good, right? And it seems that the magic here is completely different from that world."
Little Bruce stared at the small stick-like wand in his hand thoughtfully, then he nodded and said: "I agree, we should get familiar with the situation here first, but we must always find a way back."
"Let's go back and clean up the dormitory first." Barry turned his head and glanced at the sky outside in the snowstorm, and then said: "Then quickly adjust the jet lag, otherwise we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
Then the three of them parted ways. Bruce and Barry went to the men's dormitory together, while Harley returned to the women's dormitory alone. She chose to use a dormitory by herself, mainly because she still doesn't know any oriental language at all.
This is very rare in this school. She must first learn Chinese or Japanese before she can communicate fluently with others.
Just when Harley was worried about the big bed that was a little too hard for her, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Harley walked over and opened the door, and what appeared outside was a girl who looked much younger than her, but was also white, with black hair and green eyes.
"Hello, I heard you moved next door to me. Are you American too?"
"Yes, my name is Harley Quinzel, and I come from... uh, an East Coast city." After thinking about it for a while, Harley swallowed the word Gotham, mainly because she was afraid of scaring the children.
"Hello, Helen Stark, I am a first-year student who just entered school this year. Because I can't speak Chinese, I can only live alone. I think the two of us can be company. I am from New York."
"New York? Well, come on in, do you know of any way to make this bed a little softer? I'm sure my waist and shoulders are protesting."
Harley took Helen to the bed in her room. When Helen heard what she said, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Oh, I forgot that you are transfer students. You shouldn't be able to use a wand, right? I'll do it."
After saying that, Helen stretched out her hand and a purple light flew out from her fingertips. With a "bang", a large soft mattress fell onto the bed.
"Wow! That's cool! Is this your magic?"
"To be precise, it's divine power. I have divine blood, but I usually tell them it's a powerful 'wandless casting'."
