"As I said, you have a choice. Wearing the armbands means that you are willing, and the academy agrees that you are a part of this place. Moving forward on the path of magic, regardless of whether there are thorns or seas of fire ahead, you can only grit your teeth and move forward without regret. If you can't stand it, want to give up, or are homesick, take off the armband, hang it on the hanger by the door, and shake the small clock next to it. Then I will give you travel expenses, or entrust a trustworthy warrior group to send you home. From then on, stay in some ravine or some field with peace of mind, concentrate on your work, and don't think about anything related to magic anymore. Because you chose to withdraw on your own initiative. So, what is your choice now? "
After hearing the meaning of the armbands, all the children hurriedly followed Kaya's example and pinned the armbands on their right upper arms. Even if they had already pinned them, they repeatedly confirmed that they were secure and that they wouldn't fall off.
Seeing that everyone had already made the decision to put on the armbands, Lin Yi snorted coldly and said, "Very good, it looks like no one has chosen to withdraw. I'll say it again here, if you want to withdraw, it's very simple, you can do it at any time. Just take off the armbands, hang them on the hanger by the door, shake the small clock, and you can go home. Then, let's order appetizers first and exercise our bodies. "
After that, it was called, that devilish smile spread out. However, Lin Yi began with what she thought was a brilliant smile, and the 726 students of Orange Eaton Academy began their days of suffering.
During the long morning run, although this group of children wasn't some spoiled young master or young lady, what kind of weather was it now, and what kind of clothes were they wearing? A few of the little fellows who had put on their coats were even hindered by the long hem and almost fell several times.
The worst was that a certain someone was cursing on the side as they ran. Running too slow, cursing; postures too ugly, cursing; looks too ugly, also cursing, degrading people to nothing.
A few of the older children weren't easily manipulated. After pretending to fall to the ground, they steeled their hearts and didn't intend to continue running. They just stared fiercely at a certain someone. Even the entire group stopped. Some people looked around, not knowing what to do, while others watched the development of the situation with cold eyes.
Lin looked indifferent and said, "I've said it before. You can choose to give up and go home immediately. You don't have to suffer here."
"Lord Guebrash!" The name of the fallen child was Lenny. He was already nineteen years old. According to the standards of the Lost Land, he was considered an adult. She was very opinionated and had gradually become the leader of this group of children. He controlled his tone and said, "We are here to learn magic, not to accept this unreasonable treatment."
"Oh, that doesn't make sense. Do you know what is reasonable? Sitting in a beautiful mansion like the one behind you, surrounded by servants and incense, learning magic knowledge with ease. Is that so? Wrong! Did I let you live in such a big house and let you have unrealistic fantasies? Save it, children. Think about why you're here. "
"Because we have magical talent!"
"Wrong again!" Lin roared with all his might before looking coldly at the indignant children. His tone was flat as he said, "You've all been reduced to this place because your talent isn't good enough. No magician is willing to take you in. It is also because you have no background, no power, no one is willing to pay so that you can join a mage and learn magic like a superior person. Yes, you are worse than others in all aspects, but today you are here telling me that I am not willing to work harder. A little suffering is not the treatment a noble mage apprentice like me should receive. I should live like a human and not be treated like a dog. "
Some clenched their fists, some gritted their teeth, and some held back their tears. The only thing in common was that they were all speechless.
Lin's tone changed and he cursed again, "The least of you have been in Wulian City for more than a month. How many people live worse than dogs? Don't you see? Don't they have magical talent? No, they just don't recognize reality. They don't want to admit it, and they don't want to work hard. So they can only live like dogs and pretend that they are human. "
Seeing that it was about time, Lin softened his tone and said, "I said that you can choose to leave. Maybe if you don't stay here, you will be lucky and meet a teacher who is willing to teach you magic like a superior person. I don't know about that. But if you really leave here, the only advice I can give is to go home and stop dreaming about magic. Home, sweet home, with the care and love of parents, familiar friends, and maybe even someone you admire. What a good place it is. Go back, people who miss all of this are not suitable here. "
Noticing that some of them had softened their expressions and loosened their fists, Lin knew that before they came to the academy, they had been abandoned and could only hang around at the bottom of the Wulian City. Their ambition had long been worn out. Facing such treatment today, it was not strange for them to want to leave.
"Magician!" Lin Zai shouted, attracting everyone's attention. He asked, "What kind of person should I be? If you ask me, a mage is an existence that fights against the heavens, against the earth, and against people. Fighting against the heavens, time is not for me, so I will look for the best time. Fighting against the earth, what is there to fight for? The time spent searching must not be wasted in vain. Instead, one should grit one's teeth, accept all kinds of suffering, and accumulate all one's knowledge, magical power, and power in silence. Collect the materials that can be used, save, and prepare the things that are needed. Only in this way can one have enough strength to grasp the moment when the time comes. Fighting against people, if one's talent is not as good as others, one will put in ten times the effort; if one's talent is not as good as others, one will put in a hundred times the effort. There is no shortcut to success, one must do it to succeed. If one does not do it, if one does not start, one will not succeed. So, children, tell me, what is your choice? To shake that small bell, or to walk forward! Tell me! "
Lin roared fiercely. The children who were stirred up also seemed to vent their depression for the past few days and roared towards the sky. Even the older child, Lenny, who was originally lying on the ground and did not intend to get up, now stood taller than anyone else and roared more energetically than anyone else. They were able to persevere until now because they had a lot of resentment in their hearts, but they had nowhere to vent it.
The debate reminded them of the lofty aspirations they had when they left their homes and villages. When did they forget that feeling? No one remembered it clearly. But they knew that going back with their tails between their legs was not the result they wanted.
They had all survived the time when they were abandoned. Was today any more bitter than that time? Even if it was, it was only physical pain. And during the time when they were abandoned, they could not see any hope, but the life in front of them brought a glimmer of hope. If they did not seize this opportunity and let themselves be drowned in the torrent of Wulian City, they might not forgive themselves until they died.
Looking at the group of older children who had their fighting spirit aroused, Lin's expression did not change, but he was secretly wiping cold sweat for himself. Fortunately, he had read enough sensational novels, so today he could spill out buckets of dog blood.
In his original plan, after returning to Wulian City, he wanted to inherit the spirit of his teacher in the mysterious land, Charlie Richard, to help some children like himself, who were not talented enough to enter the eyes of the official mages.
Shor Eon's actions undoubtedly provoked someone. The academy was originally just a game Lin used to pass the time during the day when he returned to Wulian City. But now he wanted to run it seriously and show some results. And to create a group of children who were not very talented in magic, he could not go with the original gentle style of education in the mysterious land.
But no matter how he ran the first academy in the history of the mysterious land, Lin felt that there was a difficulty that had to be overcome, and that was lethargy. These children were previously forced to survive alone in Wulian City. They responded to Lin's call and were gathered to the academy. Rather than saying that they were aggressive, it was more like they were unwilling to give up.
With such a mentality, no matter what they did, it would be half the result with twice the effort. So how to stimulate them and stimulate their aggressiveness became a problem that Lin could not avoid. This was also the reason why Lin Xiang wanted to use military education to change these children. Since he could not use the method of letting them grow and hope that they would be self-aware, then he would use the method of forcing them to move forward.
Fortunately, it seemed that what he had done had preliminary results. In fact, playing the role of a demon sergeant was a big gamble. He wanted to see if this group of big children could get through this obstacle. Now that he heard this group of people shouting, Lin knew that this matter was settled.
Thinking about it, if they could not get through this obstacle, they would be persuaded to give up the unrealistic dream of magic and return to their hometown to live a down-to-earth life. How could it not be a good thing? The most terrible thing was that they could not move forward and could not retreat.
However, as long as he forced out the spirit of this group of people and swept away their original lethargy, then this group of children would have a bright future under the guidance of his various educational tricks from Earth. Whether or not they could reach the top depended on their own ability. But to become an official Magician, Lin was quite confident. How could a duck be so fat and forceful?
John Goodman, who had been watching from the side from beginning to end, was stunned. He never knew that there was such a way to bring people along. But the person who was more surprised was Juan Javier, who was standing by the window on the second floor, watching everything that was happening in the courtyard.
The great Magician who was woken up by reveille was full of resentment. Especially when a certain man was scolding a group of children like dogs, he was in the mood to watch a good show and treated it coldly. Little did he know that the subsequent development was completely beyond his imagination.
But this moment of amazement only lasted for a moment. What followed was another development of scolding people like dogs. But the people who were being scolded had a different feeling. It could be felt that everyone was holding back their energy and only wanted to rush on the path of magic. Any obstacle would be mercilessly smashed into a human-shaped hole.
Sensing that his student had come to his side, Juan, who was sitting on the windowsill, looked at his beloved disciple in confusion and asked, "You don't want to train with that group of children because you saw this?"
Annmarie did not reply, but only nodded. She came to the window and looked at the group of adults and children who were moving forward in the midst of the scolding with a complicated expression.
