Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in Jerome's garden villa.
"Haha, your name is Lucien Evans too?" A handsome young man with messy black hair said with a smile. He was casually wearing a black vest over his white shirt, not wearing a long dress or suit, "K
I keep saying that his name is very common, but I always don't believe it. I never thought that it is really like this, that we can meet him in the same school. Okay, I admit that Tom, Jack and the like are very common. There are five pairs in the school.
The names are exactly the same!”
He is the second-level magician Roque introduced by Lazar. He is good at elemental magic and basic mathematics. It is said that he has out-of-the-box thinking, active personality, and loves to joke.
Before Lucien answered, Rock continued to say: "I will definitely introduce you to K. It's great to have the same name! Lucien, don't worry, K is an easy person to get along with. Although he is a bit silent,
He is a little introverted, but he is also diligent and talented, and he is willing to help others. As long as you ask him for questions, he will try his best to answer them, unlike some guys from the electromagnetic faction who look like they have eyes on the top of their heads!"
"Ever since Lord Brooke used magic experiments to prove that light is a special kind of electromagnetic wave in the last issue of "Arcana", they have been clamoring that mental power is also a kind of wave, and laughing at those of us who insist on the particle theory of mental power every day.
People, don’t even think about it, there are still several magic experiments that cannot be explained by waves, and the Speaker has not responded to them yet!”
Lucien glanced at Lazar in a funny way. He thought he was a talkative person, but compared to Roark, he was far behind. However, from Roark's words, Lucien also grasped the latest research trend of the Magic Council.
, so he kept smiling and listening politely.
Lazar on the side said helplessly: "That's what Roque is like. Hey, since the last issue of the Arcane Journal was released, a magician like me who travels around still doesn't feel that there is something similar to the persistence of them who have lived in Arlinge for a long time."
The magicians who believe in the "particle theory" of psychic powers are already feeling great pressure. Well, although I also like the concept of psychic powers being particles, the proof that light is electromagnetic waves makes me sad, but this is a devastating blow to the church.
Yes, their theory that it was "only created by God" is completely shattered. When I think of this, I am very happy and feel very proud."
Jerome and his beautiful wife Vera, who were better at astrology, did not interrupt and listened to Roque and Lazar's complaints with a smile.
The elemental magician who studies elements and established the concept of atoms seems to be a natural supporter of the "spiritual force particle theory". If it were not for the pressure from the church outside, it seems that Rock would like to have a fierce battle with those electromagnetic magicians.
By the time the discussion between the two of them stopped, Lucien and Jerome were already sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking the Earl Gray tea made by Vera.
Jerome, who has brown hair, average appearance, and is slightly fat, doesn't talk much, but his whole person naturally exudes a happy and vigorous atmosphere. And his wife Vera is a beautiful red-haired girl, about 23 or 24 years old, quiet and quiet.
Beautiful.
"Mr. Evans, you drink black tea first, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." Vera left politely.
This caused Rock to sigh: "Why can you, Jerome, find a good girl like Vera, but the girls around me don't know how to be a good wife?"
"Haha." Jerome smiled proudly and a little shyly, but did not answer.
Lazar didn't want to bring up such a "sad" topic, so he turned to Rock: "Rock, how is the magic research project you are applying for?"
"What project?" Lucien asked cooperatively.
Mr. Roque replied frustratedly: "Forget it, it has been rejected. The reason for rejection was actually 'Sir, please stop joking'."
Then he mentioned with excitement: "Lucien, this is a great project. As a tower scholar, I always believe that everything can be expressed with numbers, such as the power of magic, defense and weakening
Degree, etc., and what is lacking now is the issue of standardization. We need to measure the data of different magicians releasing magic and organize them into different tables. If magicians who have disputes in the future want to fight, they can just compare the data of their respective magics.
…”
"Sir, please don't be joking..." This was Lucien's first reaction. It is good to try similar numerical descriptions, but even with supercomputers, it is difficult to simulate a real magic release situation. After all,
Any change in a magician's physical and mental state will affect the power of his own magic, not to mention that the power of some magic itself is random within a certain range.
Lucien would definitely not show this reaction impolitely, but casually said: "What if some of the two magicians have strong magic and some have weak magic?"
"That's right." Rock took a piece of white paper from the table next to him with interest and started writing, "My total mental power is 105, Lazar's is 96..."
A series of figures were reported, which made Lazar quite dissatisfied: "Why is mine so low?" Then the two began to quarrel.
Jerome smiled helplessly at Lucien and said, "That's how they are, they like to play more."
"So they are good friends." Lucien thought of the words Lazar used to "disparage" Rock before, and now it seems that they are also very suitable to use on him.
Then, Lucien and Jerome ignored Lazar and discussed the topics of astrology and elements. One of them had a terrifying depth of knowledge, and the other had more practical applications. They had a very pleasant conversation, and they felt like they wished they had known each other earlier.
.
"Haha, gentlemen, please enjoy dinner." Vera walked in, followed by a maid pushing a dining cart.
Lucien and Jerome put down the white glazed cups containing black tea, and turned around to see Lazar and Roque playing "cards" very immersedly.
"I use 'magic missile', the power is 5." Rock threw a piece of paper.
Lazar took out another one from his hand with a serious face: "Sun Flame Bodyguard, defense power 7."
…
"Gentlemen, what are you doing?" Jerome woke them up curiously.
Rock frowned and thought for a moment: "I admit that this is a failed magic research project." Then he smiled brightly, "But it is a very fun card game! Uh, I have to prepare a sieve."
Lucien suddenly became speechless, and Rock's thoughts were really weird and jumping around.
"Ah, I smell the aroma of steak and grilled fish, Vera, you are such a good girl." Rock started another topic with an unimaginable thinking speed, "Why do you like Jerome?
"
Vera smiled quietly and said: "I think Jerome looks particularly charming when he is focused and serious."
"It's so jealous. Why can't I meet you?" Roque and Lazar both patted their faces lightly, and Lucien was also a little envious of their couple's love.
After the guests and guests had a pleasant dinner, Lucien and Roque saw Lazar off and strolled among the strange plants in the magic garden back to the garden villa where they lived.
In the magic school, except for married teachers like Jerome, only second-level arcanists are qualified to live in a garden villa alone. After all, there are many teachers. Therefore, before sending Lazar away, Roque and
The magician negotiated an exchange to live with Lucien.
Lucien originally wanted to go to the laboratory tonight to use ether and other materials to refine a drug "hard stone" to assist mental stability and help him break through to level two, but the busy day made him a little tired and felt
The state is not suitable for refining potions, so I plan to go there after finishing the course in the afternoon of the next day.
…………
The next day, "Thorn Tree" was in class.
"Today the teacher of the 'Ancient Magical Languages' class was changed to Mr. Evans!" Heidi looked at Leylia and Annick mysteriously.
Annick said in confusion: "Mr. K? He is a second-level arcanist and a second-level magician. Shouldn't he only teach advanced apprentice classes?"
"I don't know either. I just heard about it from monitor Grant." Heidi shook her head.
At this time, other apprentices in the 'Thorn Tree' class were also discussing with each other. Even Splinter, who had always been lazily lying on the table and did not like to communicate with other strange apprentices, also sat up. This name evoked
His memories.
The bell rang, and the apprentices suddenly fell silent and stopped talking in compliance with the school rules. Splinter and Katrina's expressions also became serious. After being hit, they all understood the importance of hard work and hard work.
Listened attentively to every lesson.
After a moment of silence, Heidi and Leylia's eyes suddenly opened wide, and they saw Lucien walking in wearing a black double-breasted gown and a soft hat of the same color.
"Yes, it's really Mr. Evans!" they blurted out, regardless of the small violation of school rules. Their faces were full of surprise, causing other apprentices to look at them curiously.
Annick grinned and scratched his fair hair, unable to believe that this was true.
Neither Splinter nor Katrina knew how to describe their mood at this time. They were probably a little happy, a little depressed, and inexplicably expecting.
Lucien took off his soft hat and put it on the table. He nodded to Annick and the others first, then smiled gently at the apprentices and said, "I am Lucien Evans. You can also call me Mr. X from now on."
Responsible for teaching everyone the 'ancient magic language'."
"In my class, you can sleep, do magic analysis, be in a daze, or not do the exercises I have given you. The only requirement is that you cannot disturb the apprentices who are studying hard, but in the same way, you must also take care of yourself.
You have to pay the price for your choice. If you do not pass the assessment at the end of the course, then I will definitely give you the worst evaluation and let you study this course again. People who think they are talented and capable can try it. And usually listen carefully and seriously
For those who do the exercises, I will convert this part of the results into the assessment results."
The apprentices were dumbfounded as they listened to Lucien's speech, as if they were listening to a legendary story. There had never been such a magic teacher in this strict and rigid magic school. He actually allowed sleeping in his class without having to listen!
But the results were too serious, and some magic apprentices who thought they were geniuses did not dare to try it.
Then they saw Lucien taking out a stack of white paper from nowhere, and said with a friendly smile: "Okay, today is the first class. I need to find out everyone's level. Let's do some basic practice."
"Ah!" After hearing the bottoming exercise, Annick, Leylia and Heidi's expressions suddenly fell. They thought of not-so-good memories. Mr. Evans never changed, and his smile was like a devil's. !
The other apprentices were completely puzzled by the painful screams of the three of them. Instead, they felt that Mr.
