The 185th chapter "Restrain"
(Tonight there's more! Dance for a monthly ticket!)
In a permanent military fortification within the Magic Academy. This was originally the command center of the military stronghold, but now it has been completely transformed into a three story high building. The sign of the Magic Academy was hung at the entrance of the building.
Four court mages, two court scholars, Du Wei, Vivian, Master Alley and his two apprentices formed a small group. They were currently organizing all the research results obtained from the Magic Academy.
In the end, they came up with a set of basic teaching materials suitable for the Magic Academy. This included the basic theory of magic, the compilation of various magic research results, the improvement of spells, the creation of new spells, the use and modification of magic tools, the use of magic crystals, and so on.
Du Wei carefully looked through it and felt that this was the most suitable material for beginner magic students.
In the first batch of magic students, 30% of the students came from the Magician's Guild. These guys were mostly from the traditional school of magicians, so they had a good foundation and excellent magic talent. But these people were not part of Du Wei's plan. These guys were loyal to the Magician's Guild, and their education methods were very backward.
In fact, in the early days of the Magic Academy, the education and training methods were also carried out according to the traditional model.
First, the students were tested for talent, then the students were divided into departments according to their talent. Then the teachers in the Magic Academy (from the court and the Magician's Guild) taught them separately.
In Du Wei's view, this was almost the same as changing the soup but not the medicine.
His plan was to revise a set of basic teaching materials for all the students to learn. Then he would set up some basic courses, and a fixed teacher would be the teacher of the fixed courses. Then ….. everything would be according to the school model he knew from his previous life.
But this model was rejected by the Magician's Guild on the grounds that it was "against tradition".
The establishment of the Magician's Guild had already made old Jago Chairman Doug very angry. Now, if any new proposals were to be passed, it would be strongly rejected by the Magician's Guild.
But it doesn't matter.
"Let the students from the Magician's Guild continue with their old-fashioned traditions," Du Wei said with a smile. "Let our students receive education according to the new model. They do what they want, and we do what we want. "
Soon after, the management committee of the Academy of Magic decided that seven seats would be taken by the palace magicians, seven by the Magician's Guild, and one by Du Wei.
In the end, a resolution was passed: the resolution to carry out the management of the school system within the academy.
The resolution was passed with eight votes in favor and seven votes against.
The Magic Academy had decided to establish several branches within the academy. The initial branches would be divided according to the different elements of magic, such as the Wind Magic Branch, the Fire Magic Branch, and so on.
However, students were allowed to take courses from other schools while majoring in their own school. All the basic courses were open to the public, and any student was allowed to sit in. It was also noted that when graduating from all the schools, in addition to passing all the major courses in their own school, they must also pass three elective courses.
After the initial assessment of the students' talent, the branch ceremony was completed. It was clear that the Fire Magic Branch, as the traditional mainstream, once again received the most number of people. The dean of the Fire Magic Branch was an eighth-level magician from the Magician's Guild.
The Fire Branch had a total of thirty-six students. In terms of numbers, the Magician's Guild could be considered to have recovered a little from the disadvantage.
As for the Earth Magic Branch, it had always been unpopular. This time was no exception. Only four students were recognized as having the talent for Earth Magic. The Earth Branch became the one with the least number of students. Of course, this was only the first batch of students. As the scale of the academy expanded in the future, it was believed that this situation would improve.
The most eye-catching thing was that outside of the traditional branches of magic, Mage Du Wei, the Empire's youngest Duke, a genius magician, also established a special branch.
This branch did not teach any magic of any element, but the teachers of this branch were enough to make people gasp!
The dean of the branch was Du Wei himself, and the vice-dean was the famous Master Alley. At the same time, the teachers of this branch were two of Alley's disciples, both of whom were seventh-level magicians. In addition, there was also Mage Vivian.
Du Wei even made some plans. If possible in the future, he might even pull Joanna … or even the green-robed Gandorf into the academy.
Well, if he really pulled the green-robed Gandorf into the academy, he might have to give him a new identity.
The main content taught in this branch of Duwei's was the basics of magic, mainly … … Magic Alchemy.
Of course, the name of the academy could not be called "Potioneering Branch". This was because in the magician's circle, there was a general discrimination against potioneering. If it had such a name, most people would not even register.
Therefore, after thinking for an entire afternoon, Du Wei personally gave this branch a name:
Hogwarts Magic Branch
•
The specialty of the Hogwarts Branch School was that all the subjects they taught were not major subjects, but elective subjects! In other words, this branch did not have a fixed number of students. All the students came from other branches to take elective courses.
What was surprising was that after Hogwarts was officially listed, in just three days, the number of students who registered for elective courses had surpassed the number of students in the Magician's Guild's Fire Branch!
Forty students!
Thirty students from the military had all registered for Hogwarts' elective courses. This was mainly because Du Wei came from the Rollin family and had a strong appeal in the military. In addition, Du Wei's reputation and the strong lineup of teachers made people dizzy.
The other ten students were from the Royal Family's camp. As for the thirty students from the Magician's Guild, none of them registered.
It was necessary to mention the identities of all the students of the Magic Branch. The thirty students from the military had all been selected from the military. They were thirty soldiers who were only eighteen years old. They had all gone through some magic talent tests in the military and stood out from tens of thousands of people. The students from the Royal Family were mostly the same. They were the second sons of some noble families or youths who did not have the right to inherit. These guys did not have the possibility of inheriting their families, but they were willing to choose the path of a magician to become their future hope.
After all, if they were the children of a real noble family and had the opportunity to inherit a huge family, no one would be willing to become a strange magician.
Most of these people had a record of military service. Most of them even had a considerable foundation in martial arts. After all, the culture of martial arts on the continent was very strong. Especially the thirty students from the military who were eighteen years old. They had at least a year of military service in the military and were quite talented. They had undergone military training and were very disciplined. These people were also very united in the academy. Before the military sent them in, they had already carried out a militarized organization. There was a captain, a leader, and a discipline.
In Du Wei's view, these thirty people from the military were the most worthy group of people for him to rope in. They did not have a family, and their only backing was the military. And most of them were from poor families. (If they were rich and powerful, who would be willing to be a soldier?) These people were very particular about their records and were very respectful to him who was born in a military family. And they were young, eighteen years old. It was the age where their blood was boiling and they were very malleable. Young people were very easy to be stirred up. He only needed to do a little trick and it would be easy for these guys to transfer their loyalty to him.
On the first day of the opening of the Hogwarts branch, Du Wei did not pull everyone into the classroom to attend classes like the other branches. Instead, on the first day of registration, Du Wei wore a mage robe and stood at the entrance of the branch.
Looking at the forty students who came one after another, Du Wei did not let them directly enter the branch. Instead, he stood at the entrance and blocked everyone's path.
"Quiet down." Looking at the forty pairs of eyes staring at him curiously, Du Wei was younger than most of them. (The thirty students from the military were all eighteen years old. The other ten students were from various families loyal to the royal family, but they were not favored. The youngest was only thirteen years old.)
These young faces were filled with curiosity. Du Wei looked at this group of young people with satisfaction. "Before you walk through this door, I, as the dean of the branch, have some words to say to you! These words are not pleasant to hear, so after I finish speaking, if anyone is not satisfied, you can lose your face and leave here! "
Du Wei deliberately used a slow tone to say these few words. Everyone was a little at a loss.
"I know that most of you are soldiers." After Du Wei finished speaking, the military students consciously straightened their bodies. "Most of you know nothing about magic. Hmph … You all come from poor families, or small nobles without inheritance rights. Am I right? "
There was silence.
"If you were on the original path of your life, your life would have no hope! No hope! You may have only been able to become ordinary soldiers, or small workers, or apprentices … And some of you were nobles without inheritance rights. When you came of age, you would not have received any inheritance from your family. You would have been stranded in the capital and had no choice but to enter the military, or … .You might as well have been stranded in some shops and become a small gang or a small merchant full of the stench of money! "
"But now, the establishment of the magic academy has given you a chance in life! You guys may not have shown any talent, but in one night, your talent for magic was discovered, and then you were sent here! Perhaps when you came in, there were many people who revealed envious gazes at you! Yes! You must have thought that you would become a mage in the future! That you would become a mage that everyone respected and revered! Am I right? You thought that becoming a mage would be something to be proud of, very impressive, very glorious … Those nobles would recruit you, you would become a distinguished guest, you would become a big shot that everyone would fawn over. Even you guys from the military, when you go back, you would be promoted and become rich! Am I right? "
There was still silence, but the faces of those students from the military showed traces of embarrassment. What Du Wei said, to a large extent, was what these people were thinking in their hearts.
"But you are all wrong!" Du Wei suddenly shouted with all his might, "I can tell you, you are all wrong!"
Then, Du Wei smiled coldly, "What I want to tell you is, don't expect to realize your dreams here – those laughable dreams! I will personally shatter your fantasies, shatter your laughable expectations! Also, shatter your laughable self-esteem! Do you understand? Here, you will receive harsh training, you will be in danger, you will even bleed at any time, you will get injured! "
Everyone's face darkened, and some people's faces showed signs of hesitation.
"But!" Du Wei shouted loudly, "But, as long as you can walk out of here, you will be able to pass! As long as you pass, I guarantee that you will be completely different from the people in the other supercourtyards! "
"I can say this very bluntly, I will not nurture you into those arrogant but idiotic magicians! Even more so, I will not let you become those arrogant people who think they are full of knowledge, but have never seen a real magical beast or a real test in their lives! What I can teach you is the real thing! How to use magic to fight! If it is the real thing, the most efficient way to use your magic weapons! If it is the use of magic to defeat any enemy you face! I will give you the real thing! I will not let you stay in the laboratory every day to fiddle with those boring things! In the future, you will stand on the frontlines, bleed for the Empire, fight for it! You will not become those high and mighty masters! "
After deliberately pausing for a long time, Du Wei looked at the people below, "Now, I will give you one minute to consider. If you feel disappointed, you can go back. I will not hold you responsible, I will give you the freedom to choose."
Sure enough, within the one minute, eight people quietly left from the crowd. Those were the children of nobles selected by the Imperial Family. They only wanted to become magicians to make a fortune.
All of the people from the military stayed behind. In addition, there were two young boys. Du Wei looked at the two young boys with extra attention. These two boys were wearing ordinary clothes made of coarse cloth. Du Wei immediately remembered the personal information of the students that he had long since memorized.
Bebe and Toka were a pair of brothers. They were born from the same family, and their father was a baron who was loyal to the Imperial Family. However, these two brothers were the children of that baron and a maid. They didn't even have the status of a concubine, and were purely illegitimate children.
"Very good." Du Wei looked at the remaining 32 students with satisfaction, "One day in the future, you will be happy with the choice you made today. Here, I don't need those fellows who only want to climb up the ranks. I need people who are willing to truly learn. Only such people can learn real things from me! I will also unreservedly teach you the most practical skills! I guarantee that in the near future, those who have left and those from the other branches may still be fiddling with beautiful magical gems in the warm laboratory. Some of you will already be able to hunt ferocious magical beasts alone in the harshest Frozen Forest! While those fellows are still showing off their titles as magicians to the nobles, many of you will already be able to fight seven or eight of them! Do you understand?! "
Soon after, Du Wei suddenly pulled out his magic wand from under his robe. Then, in front of everyone, he turned around and used the end of his magic wand to write two large lines of words on the two sides of the door!
"Please take another path in order to become rich and famous! If you are greedy and afraid of death, don't enter this door! "
These two lines of words written with magic glittered on the door. The young students below looked at the two lines written by the dean, the Duke. Everyone's eyes were filled with the kind of hot-blooded excitement that only young people would have.
The meaning behind these gazes were different, but the only thing they had in common was: they all had respect for Du Wei.
"Now!" Du Wei suddenly shouted, "I know that you were all soldiers before coming here. Tell me, who is the leader among you!"
"… … It is me, Your Excellency the Duke." One by one, the tallest and most burly guy stood at the front and replied loudly, "I am the captain, Your Excellency."
He involuntarily followed the military etiquette and gave Du Wei a military salute. Clenching his fist, he placed it flat in front of his chest and punched his chest.
"You lead the team. Everyone, line up and run ten laps on the grass! Once you are done, our class will begin! "
"Run … … Running exercises?" The young captain was stunned. Everyone else was also stunned.
Running exercises?? These students from the military were not unfamiliar, but … … they had never heard of a magician having to run exercises?
"Is there a problem?" Du Wei's expression showed that there was no room for discussion.
"We need a reasonable explanation." The one who spoke was the pair of illegitimate brothers who stood at the back of the crowd.
Du Wei looked at the two little guys, "Explanation? Well, this is the first time, and also the last time! Because you have not walked through my door yet, I can make an exception and explain this once. But in the future, in my branch, you are not allowed to question the Dean or the teachers! "
"… … Yes." The two little guys seemed to be intimidated by Du Wei's oppressive gaze. They uneasily lowered their heads.
"Among you, most of you should have seen those traditional magicians, right?" Du Wei sneered, "Magicians, other than having powerful strength, unfathomable mysteries, and strange temperaments, what is the most important impression they give you? No one answered … … Then I will tell you! It is the weak body! Weak to the point of being trash! I don't want my students to be so weak that they can't even lift their wands when they become magicians! I also don't want my students to be so weak that they can't even speak after chanting a few spells in battle! Now, go! "
With that said, Du Wei didn't even bother to look at the group of children. Instead, he turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Behind him, the military captain shouted a command and the 30 students neatly obeyed. Turning around, they lined up and ran towards the grassy field outside. As for the two illegitimate brothers, they hesitated for a moment before finally making up their minds and running over.
"Originally, we could have had 40 students." As soon as Du Wei entered the branch, he saw Master Alley standing at the top of the stairs. Smiling at him, he asked a question: "But you just took the initiative to scare away 8 of them."
Du Wei nodded: "You are right, but I have always believed that quality is more important than quantity. The rest of the students are what I need. "
Master Alley's smile was a bit strange. Standing on his tiptoes, he looked at the kids running hard in the distance: "Du Wei, I really don't understand. Are you planning to let them practice both magic and martial arts?"
"Of course not." Du Wei shook his head: "What I just said is true. The bodies of magicians these days are weak. Being exposed to poisonous drugs and gems all day long, their bodies have already suffered a lot of damage. Hiding in their rooms all year round for research, most of them are weak to the extreme … … Even if they have a strong ability, if they can't use it, then it's the same as zero! I've even heard that many mages even need their retainer warriors to carry them when they go out … Even more mages are so weak that they can't even wave their walnut wands. This is definitely not a joke, it's a fact. "
At this point, Du Wei suddenly realized that the person standing in front of him was a standard "traditional" magician. Quickly shutting his mouth, he looked at Master Alley uneasily.
Old Alley didn't show a trace of dissatisfaction. Instead, he sighed: "What you said … … is right. Most of the magicians have been pampered for too long. Many of them, even if their bodies haven't been crippled, their willpower has already been crippled. "
With that said, Master Alley walked to the door and carefully looked at the two lines of words Du Wei wrote on the door.
"To get rich, please don't go the other way! If you are greedy and afraid of death, don't enter this door … … Good! Very good! "
