The free communication on the second day was much the same as the first day, except that after the discussion in the morning, everyone visited the important underground cave group under the garden in the afternoon.
As soon as you enter the cave, you can feel the coolness that is completely different from the ground. The structure of the entire cave is complex, and different caves have different functions. For example, there are small caves as high as one person for personnel exchanges, and there are also caves as big as a basketball court for growing fungi.
Large caves of similar size. There are also some caves of moderate size that were once used as classrooms for teaching.
There is also a clear underground river at the bottom of the cave, which not only provides enough water for the people in the cave, but can also use a sealed boat to flow out along the underground river, appearing several times without outsiders being able to detect it.
In a river ten kilometers away.
However, as the school moved above ground after the crisis was over, most of this underground system was sealed as an emergency backup for the school. Now only a part of the cave near the ground is still in use, and part of it is used as a classroom for some special courses.
The other part is used as part of underground farms and breeding farms to raise edible and medicinal plants and animals. For example, Ryan saw a large mushroom house in which many edible mushrooms were cultivated.
After all, this place is different from Hogwarts. Castello Brusso, located deep in the Amazon rainforest, is far away from human gathering areas. It is not very convenient to purchase supplies. The transportation is inconvenient and there is a special history when the school was founded. So farming has become a
A major feature of this school. For example, the mushrooms at Ryan's barbecue party last night came from a mushroom garden in this underground tunnel group.
After two days of free communication, the time came to September 1st, and it was time for the new semester to start. Ryan and the others attended the opening ceremony as special guests, and the students of Hogwarts were arranged at the long table representing the new students.
There are three academies in Castro Brushuo, the Academy of Blood, which is geared toward combat, the Academy of Feathered Serpent, which is geared towards academics, and the Academy of Giant Wood, which is geared towards basic and time-based operations.
However, unlike the Hogwarts admissions branch, Castro Brusso is assigned to different houses after the first grade, based on the talents shown by the students in the study of different subjects. So in the school auditorium
There are four long tables, representing freshmen and three colleges respectively. As guests from afar, Ryan and the others sat at the freshmen long table with the fewest people.
After the principal gave a simple opening speech, the banquet began. The opening banquets of all schools were equally sumptuous. The banquet at Castro Brusso College displayed a large number of local delicacies, including Peruvian roast beef and large skewers of Brazilian barbecue.
This is a regular delicacy. There are also jungle specialties such as fried bugs and grilled crocodiles.
In addition, in order to welcome guests from afar, a lot of British-style food was added to the opening banquet, but Ryan felt that whether it was fish, chips or haggis, compared with the delicacies on the table,
It’s hard to call it gourmet.
When the staple food on the table turned into desserts, the atmosphere in the auditorium slowly became warmer. During the exchange, Ryan learned that there was also a special ceremony for the admission of new students. However, it was not as rich in history as the feeling of Hogwarts.
Compared with the main ceremony, the entrance ceremony for new students here seems to be more exciting.
The little wizards will go downstream from the river next to the school to the pier of the wizard town a few kilometers away, take a giant canoe pulled by the golden dragon fish, go up the river, and finally climb hundreds of steps to the high ground where the school is located.
Arrive at the school gate and follow the path into the auditorium.
Finally, when everyone had finished eating the desserts, the opening party was over. Everyone hurried back to the dormitory to have a good rest and prepare for the first class after school starts tomorrow.
The next morning, Ryan got up early. Exchange students like him followed the same grade schedule as Castro Brusso, and there were third-grade courses on the first morning of school.
The Castro Brus master's curriculum is divided into public courses and elective courses. Except for the first grade, each age has its own elective courses. Some elective courses are unique to a certain college. As exchange students, Ryan and the others are allowed to do this.
You can choose the elective courses you want to study in class without being restricted by the college. Similarly, the two professors leading the Hogwarts team will also open an elective course for Castro Brushu students to study during this period.
.
Since we have no idea about the teaching situation here, last night we discussed that everyone in each grade should take the same course. This way, if there are any problems, everyone can discuss with each other to avoid being unable to keep up with the progress of the class due to unfamiliarity.
.
Because of this, after breakfast, Ryan went to the second floor classroom with Hermione and Daphne Greengrass from Slytherin College at the door of the auditorium for their first class. Along the way, they met many palm-sized furry people.
Humanoid creatures, they are Kaipola, a creature unique to Castrobruzzo.
When Ryan and the others were passing through the corridor, a group of Kaipolas tried to smash a huge mushroom onto their heads. Fortunately, Ryan used the disarming spell in time to knock down the mushroom in advance.
The big mushroom fell to the ground and exploded, with the green slime inside flying everywhere.
"Oh, it's them again. Don't they have any other activities besides throwing smelly mushrooms?"
"Confinamient, we are already lucky now. If it were April, the smoke fruits they throw away would be the most troublesome."
With the sound of a spell that he had never heard before, a wheat-skinned mixed-race girl waved her wand to gather the slime in the corridor together, and then threw it into the trash can. Only then did Ryan find a group of people walking along the corridor.
As they walked up the stairs, a voice of greeting suddenly came from among them.
"Good morning, Ryan. What class are you here for?"
Hearing this greeting, Ryan discovered that the leader of the group opposite was David, who had a great discussion with them in the same group two days ago, so he replied: "Good morning! We are here to attend Blood Academy today.
Combat class, now walking to the classroom."
After speaking, Ryan discovered that David's school uniform had a symbol consisting of a drop of blood, a wand and a book. So he asked curiously: "Are you a student of Blood Academy?"
When David was about to answer, the girl who had just recited the spell was the first to answer: "Of course, David is not only a student of Blood Academy, but also the prefect of the third grade of Blood Academy and the champion of his grade group in the wizard duel for two consecutive years."
"Cousin, championship and other honors are in the past, there is no need to talk about it all the time." David said to the girl helplessly. After saying that, he invited them and said: "I think this is your first time in the classroom.
It might be hard to find the class. It just so happens that we can drop by together."
Ryan was very happy that the first class went so smoothly. This was a good sign.
