Playing the role of the Devil Sergeant-Major required some talent, and John Goodman undoubtedly had this talent. When he was young, he mingled in various mercenary groups, and when he scolded people, he didn't need too many tricks.
"Go eat shit!" "You're a maggot in a cesspool!" "You think you're so noble? Even the stray dogs on the roadside have a hundred times more dignity than you! "And so on, from the basic to all kinds of tricks, there were too many to keep track of.
And he was originally an old-fashioned person, and any small mistake in his eyes was unforgivable. It was just that he, who had experienced society to be tactful, learned the principle of "out of sight, out of mind." Now that he had completely liberated his mouth, he couldn't stop scolding. There were even faint signs that he couldn't control himself, even when he was chatting with others, there were times when he couldn't help but be sarcastic.
A certain great magician who came to visit finally ran away with his face covered in dirt.
Lin Yi didn't have much of an opinion about John Goodman, this old warrior who had the phenomenon of rejuvenation, and only supported him. But in private, they still agreed on a bottom line, which was that they couldn't fight. Of course, the one class per day combat training was an exception. Even so, Lin didn't want any child to have their hands and feet broken by the old warrior, or even lose their lives.
For such a request, the old warrior of course understood, and also seriously regarded it as a boundary that he couldn't cross.
In the first few days, Lin personally drilled the group of children, and they followed the daily schedule that was arranged to the minute, from waking up, eating, studying, and going to bed. Except for the ten-minute break after each class, there was no interference, and even when to bathe, wash, clean, and so on were controlled.
If they were a little slow, they would be scolded! If they didn't do things well enough, they would be scolded! If they weren't active enough, they would be scolded again! In short, words were used instead of whips, and this group of children was whipped to move quickly on the path of magic.
But it wasn't that this group of children didn't have free time at all, it was mainly because they had to cooperate with the arrangement of the meditation room. There was a time limit to the meditation room, but it was different for everyone.
In order to simplify the meditation room's use schedule, and in order to not let everyone meditate at a fixed time, and therefore miss a certain class or training. Lin divided the children into groups according to the time they used the meditation room, so that the total time for each group was about an hour.
Then, each group was allowed to use the meditation room at different times every day. During the time, the group members could arrange the order by themselves. For the children who hadn't been able to use the meditation room or had completed it, the extra time would be their precious free time.
John Goodman had been working as an assistant for the past few days and was familiar with the style. On the day of Lin Fan's third lecture, in order to prepare for the content of the lecture, the work of training the children was handed over to the excited old warriors. Seeing him in his twilight years, once again radiating the vitality of a young man. Lin then went to do his own thing with a peace of mind.
Many people stopped in their tracks, and all of them turned around and left while cursing under their breaths. However, Lin, who was standing on the podium, looked down and saw that the crowd had not decreased by much. This made him curious. How many people who had left secretly came back later?
With the Silence Magic Array activated, it was easier for Lin to control the situation. The group of children who were completely different in spirit wore the same uniform, and it also played a very important role in maintaining order in the field.
And there weren't too many people interrupting during the lecture, so a certain person's performance on the podium was smoother. Of course, he also provided more content, which made the crowd realize something.
Later, when a mage cracked the effect of the Silence Magic Array on him and tried to interrupt the person on the podium to raise his doubts, he was stopped by the malicious stares from the crowd around him. Challenging the person on the podium should be something that everyone would love to see and talk about in the future. But if he provoked public anger …
It was clearly a group of mages below, but they were holding spiked clubs, spiked hammers, and double-sided axes. This scene made the people on the podium feel very uncomfortable.
In short, things ended unusually smoothly and peacefully.
Being busy with the children, of course, it was impossible to leave the two academy teachers with ulterior motives aside. Lin was definitely not willing to teach some personal stuff in P Language, because he didn't have the time.
He was busy with the academy's matters. In addition to making a bunch of things into rules for future people to follow, the most troublesome thing was the arrangement of the curriculum and various tests. As an incentive, rewards and punishments were also needed.
The arrangement of the curriculum affected how long the children would stay. If the teaching was too slow, it would inevitably extend the time they stayed in the academy; if the teaching was too fast, it might cause indigestion, and they wouldn't be able to understand how the magic was cast. In the end, it would also delay the time they could graduate and become official mages.
If the tests weren't stigmatized, they were actually a very good way to measure one's own strength. But if the tests were to be discriminating, the content of the tests needed to be carefully designed. Although Lin didn't graduate from the education department, as a top student who had been through the Ghost Island's cramming education, he still had some ideas on how to design the tests.
And finally, the reward and punishment method of incentive wasn't simply throwing a gift. The best situation was to be able to stimulate their sense of honor and achieve spiritual satisfaction, but also material satisfaction, and not just the latter. Otherwise, when the material desire was satisfied, but the spirit felt empty, in the end, such a reward and punishment method would lose its original meaning.
Anyway, the academy's matters were complicated, and Lin really didn't have the time to teach the two mages how to write programs. But this was just someone who didn't have time, it didn't mean that there was no way.
There was a saying on Earth: learn by doing, and do by learning. With a goal and then learning, one would know one's shortcomings and think of ways to improve at the same time. When the goal was achieved, one's ability would definitely improve a lot compared to when one set this goal.
After telling the two of them this argument, they also agreed that having a goal to achieve was indeed better than flying around like a headless fly.
The project for Juan Javier and Eli Huber was to "make a calculator." Whether they wanted to make one each or work together, Lin didn't interfere. Of course, the various requirements for the calculator had to be explained clearly, so that the people who carried out the project wouldn't be lost.
Someone explained it completely according to the physical electronic calculator on Earth. After all, the electronic calculator had been able to survive until the 21st century, and its form hadn't changed much, except that everyone was used to it, it was also a mature design.
To design a maze version of the physical calculator, the public P Language was enough. The relevant inputs and outputs, variables, calculations, and so on. The disadvantage was that the knowledge described in the P Language reference book was relatively scattered. To complete such a project, one must have a considerable degree of familiarity with the P Language to be able to integrate it.
Juan Javier was of course happy to accept such a challenge. However, the ideal situation that Eli Huber imagined was that Lin would give him special treatment and pass on his private knowledge. But it was not completely unacceptable to have a great mage by his side to jointly develop a never-before-seen project design. At least, this was indeed something that the book didn't talk about.
In short, Lin spent about ten minutes every day before going home to discuss with the two developers. In addition to seeing their progress, of course, he also gave some opinions. It was just that during the beginning, most of the time was to pick bugs, or to review some projects that had problems from the design level.
Of course, Lin could give answers to these questions. Even for such a project, Lin had a rough outline in his mind, but he didn't have the time to complete it.
However, he still didn't give an answer. On one hand, he hoped that Juan and Eli — in fact, Juan Javier's student, the overly young official mage Annmarie — could come up with an answer on their own, so that they could learn something in the process. On the other hand, Lin also looked forward to seeing if the maze people, who were not limited by the existing concepts, could come up with a different answer.
Other than that, there was the aristocratic gathering every Saturday night. Juan Javier was definitely not absent, but Eli was not so enthusiastic. But every time, Lin still invited the homebody Lich to participate in this event, including himself, after dressing up carefully, to participate in this event in Wulian City.
The reason why he was so enthusiastic was because of Juan Javier's suggestion after he roughly understood the situation. The reason was very simple. The aristocrats were never monolithic. If he just swept all the people with titles to the opposite side, then the people who could be roped in would also become his enemies.
Then, the situation in Wulian City was even more extreme. The aristocrats in the same kingdom had different factions and couldn't be united, not to mention that they were from different countries.
In a city dominated by mages, the nobles who gathered here were not here to respond to the call of a king or for some lofty ideals. They were here for their own interests. And the stage of this aristocratic gathering, as Lin had previously known, was a battlefield without blood and corpses.
Secondly, and also the most important. If someone still stayed in his magic tower and didn't pay attention to the outside world, naturally, he could ignore the evaluation of the outside world and make some worthy friends. But today, if Lin Xiang wanted to run a school well, he could not do without the support of some people. For example, the land and buildings of the school came from the support of President Orange Eaton.
Although he thought that he was not good at this kind of thing, Lin was still forced to do something beyond his ability. There were many things in life that could not be done just because one was not good at it.
In such a disturbance, in the snowy night, the 726 year of the Aran calendar ended.
Next was the year DCCXXVII (727) of the Aran calendar. Like a New Year's gift, Shure Eon sent a group of children one after another. The children who had self-taught magic and had small achievements came to Wulian City with a magic dream.
