Areize felt that he had suffered a lot, a very, very lot. In his childhood, he was very envious of his friends who could go to high school to study.
Because graduating from high school and primary school meant that they were people of two different worlds. After learning basic magic knowledge and some other knowledge in high school, even if they could not get into university, there were still many other jobs and career paths to choose from.
For example, those high school students who could not get into university could still choose to go to vocational colleges, such as market management, basic chemistry research, metallurgy, and the like.
University was a place to cultivate all-rounder mages. Not everyone had the ability to go to university. Moreover, this world didn't only rely on the Mage class. After all, there were very few mages.
Once upon a time, Ariel wished that he could sit in a bright and clean classroom, listen to the sound of reading, and then do his best to sit and take notes. Occasionally, he would walk with some beautiful female classmates in the shade of the campus, talking about life and ideals.
Ah! What wonderful days they were! Thinking about it, he might even have the talent to become a poet. Learning must be a wonderful thing, Ariel had once fantasized about it.
But this evil hooded man had shattered all his fantasies about learning.
"Elementary physics for so long, but you still failed! Don't think about resting before completing 20 sets of Huanggang Secret Scrolls. "
"Chemistry hasn't reached my level yet, how are you going to compete for the year's top student?! How did you amaze the freshmen entrance exam? Write me another 10 sets! "
"Math is okay, looks like you're quite sensitive to numbers. Not bad!"
Ariel finally heard a compliment. It was not easy. He was so excited that his eyes were brimming with tears, but what came next made him fall into a bottomless abyss.
"Since you're doing so well in math, you need to start climbing higher mountains. I'll increase the difficulty of the math scroll. You need to practice harder. I'll hand you 50 sets of Huanggang Secret Scrolls. After you finish them, I believe you'll be the best among the freshmen! "
Are you a f * cking devil? You're definitely a f * cking devil! Where did you get these secret scrolls? I've already asked around, but there's no such thing on the market.
Everyone was just reading the three sets of textbooks published by the Royal City University Press. Who would work as hard as he did?!
Aerize felt like he wasn't learning, but was being treated like a farm animal, working hard. Countless pieces of knowledge were like feeding liquid food to a goose. After forcefully opening its mouth, a thick tube was stuffed in, and then the liquid food was forced into its stomach.
This wasn't learning, it wasn't fun, it was a tough job!
The man in grey snorted at Aerize's complaint. "The joy of learning? What are you talking about?! Learning is a war! "
"In this battle, you only have two statuses: Winner [Good Student], Loser [Poor Student]! Heroes were judged by points alone! Happiness? When you pass this course and become one of the top people in this world, you can enjoy all kinds of happiness! "
"But now, you are an animal. You are the horse that pulls the cart, the donkey that pulls the mill, and the ox that pulls the plow! Before you succeed, even if you want to die, you can only die on the road to work! "
Aerize could still vaguely remember the tone of the man in grey when he said those words. That rather terrifying tone made Aerize lose the will to resist.
Li Jie was very satisfied with the way Aerize studied in the illusory world built by the Millennium Building Blocks. Only a person who was obsessed with learning could satisfy Li Jie's requirements.
Not only did he want Aerize to enter the top ten in the normal competition, he also wanted him to become the first in his cohort during the Royal City University's entrance exam. Only then would the principal of the Royal City University bless Aerize and hand him the [Holy Magic Tome].
Legend had it that the [Holy Magic Tome] was a relic left by a holy mage in this world. It recorded many secrets, and Li Jie wanted to get his hands on it.
But the book was well hidden. Li Jie had sneaked into the Royal City University a few times, but he couldn't find it. After all, the world was so big, it wasn't hard to hide a book.
As for Aerize's training, it was actually not a problem for Li Jie. Because compared to the national competition of the scouts, Li Jie actually didn't care about the university entrance exam.
After all, the university entrance exam mainly tested cultural subjects, not combat. The real start of magic in this world started in university.
Middle school only taught some basic magic knowledge, but it didn't engage in real magic teaching.
Those who began their studies at university could be considered magic apprentices, while those who could successfully graduate from university could be considered magic trainees.
The way to enter university was to learn all kinds of basic knowledge as a condition. Mathematics, physics, and chemistry were the most important subjects. In Newton's Five Secrets, mathematics was listed as a separate secret art.
And this world could be said to be in the same vein as Newton's magic. Even though Newton made a lot of changes and cuts, many basic things remained the same.
As for the basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry education in this world, Li Jie snorted. Newton didn't teach this world anything profound. Most of the knowledge in this world was still stuck in the 17th century.
And this world didn't seem to have anything like college entrance exam preparation reference books.
Sigh, the people of this world still don't understand, the college entrance exam is a war! Li Jie had a lot of experience with this war. Although it had been decades since he participated in a certain cruel college entrance exam.
But the tragic experience was still fresh in his memory. He could finally find someone to bear the pain he had gone through in the past. It was time to let the people of this world see the power of the Huanggang Secret Scroll! Li Jie smiled as he looked at Aerize, who was struggling with dozens of secret scrolls.
… …
"How are the battles with the God Race and the Demon Race going?" In a hidden corner of King City, an old voice asked.
"Teacher, the battle at the frontline is going well. The Gods and Demons are already struggling at death's door. But I don't quite understand, the kingdom has the ability to destroy these two races a long time ago. Why are we still using this method of taking turns to exhaust the other party? "another majestic voice replied.
"General, the fact that you are here today means that the kingdom trusts you. And because of this trust, some things can be told to you." Some things can already be told to you. "The teacher's aged voice said calmly.
"Why do you think we need to extract the crystals from the Gods and Demons?"
The general thought for a moment. "Isn't it because the crystals growing on their heads contain a lot of magical energy and are very useful for the kingdom's construction? The sorcerers need to study these crystals. "
The teacher shook his head. "It's not that simple. Their crystals are not as useful to us sorcerers as the outside world says."
The general was surprised. "Then why do we still have to fight the Gods and Demons at the frontline?"
The teacher smiled. "Because we need to maintain their wild nature, let them feel that they have a chance to turn the tables. Let them continuously hone their skills so that their crystalline bodies will become even more powerful. "
The general was puzzled. "Didn't you say that the crystals are useless?"
The teacher explained, "They may not be useful to us, but to the holy sorcerers, they are very useful!"
The general clenched his fists and then relaxed. "The holy sorcerer? He once prophesied that he would return in the 150th year of the Holy Calendar, but so many years have passed … "
The general didn't finish his sentence, but the teacher knew what he wanted to say, so the teacher continued, "So you also think that the Holy Mage is dead? The power of the holy sorcerer is beyond your imagination, General. His arrival in our world is not just a coincidence. "
The general noticed the term "our world".
The teacher continued, "And the Gods and Demons are nothing more than creatures that provide materials for the holy sorcerer. They are essentially no different from pigs, cows, and sheep. He has always been looking for these materials, and in this world he found them. "
"But unlike pigs, cows, and sheep, the Gods and Demons cannot be tamed into livestock. Just like how they tamed humans. Because once they are tamed into livestock, their abilities will greatly degenerate, and they will lose the need to be used as materials. "The teacher's eyes were unusually sharp when he said this.
"For the holy sorcerer, without materials, our world loses its value. And the simplest reason why humans have been able to rise in recent years is that the holy sorcerer needs a group of shepherds. "
"And we are this group of shepherds. Do you understand the meaning of our existence now?"
Although the teacher's words were calm, the general's hands and feet went cold. He felt a lump in his throat. "So, the Gods and Demons are just a flock of sheep? But what we do is not to shave sheep, but to collect crystals? "
The teacher nodded. "Yes, and also refinement. That is our job. General, don't look at me with that look of disbelief. Our world is nothing more than a processing workshop. And there are countless processing workshops like ours. "
"The holy sorcerer has gone to more places than you can imagine," the teacher said calmly. The teacher said calmly, "If we want to live and live well, then we need to do our job well. This is what the holy sorcerer told us before he left. "
The general seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope. "Didn't he leave? He already left!? " "Yes, but this is only temporary. Because he will eventually return, because there is something he needs here, "the teacher said.
The general's face twitched. "What is it?"
The teacher: "A part of an ultimate weapon."
The general: "Then the holy sorcerer left to go to the so-called other production workshops?"
The teacher smiled. "He only went to find the pilot of this ultimate weapon."
