After a few questions in a row, the mages in the audience no longer had any doubts. Even from their standpoint, it was impossible for them to support a family that had the knowledge of "secret" mathematics, if this statement was true.
In fact, some of them had the same idea. They wanted to bully this country bumpkin, who was unfamiliar with the place and had no backing. But in the first class, everyone was humiliated to the point that they had no temper.
Could this knowledge be snatched away?!
However, the person who came didn't seem to have this understanding. Instead, he tried to justify his intentions and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense. I want to stand up and seek justice for my family, so that everyone can recognize a shameless liar like you. As for the knowledge of public mathematics, it will be continued by my family. You just need to shut up! Get out of my city. "
"Is that so?" Lin didn't say any more harsh words. Instead, he used a whiteboard to write a two-variable quadratic equation in the air and said, "If you come from a noble family that has inherited mathematical knowledge, it shouldn't be difficult to factorize this equation."
The content of the mathematics class for the past two days had been factorization, from one-variable quadratic, one-variable, to one-variable tertiary, to one-variable higher order. Two-variable quadratic equation was the content that they were going to talk about next, but hadn't started yet. Although there was only one more unknown factor, it still made the eyes of the mages who were obsessed with mathematics light up.
However, it was obvious that the mage who had jumped out to accuse Lin wasn't in this group. Speechless, he stammered for a long time, unable to say anything. He looked at the inspectors standing behind him in a panic, and even turned to look at a certain seat in the seating area. In the end, he could only brace himself and say,
"When you're expelled, you liar, there will naturally be someone in my family who is good at mathematics to teach everyone. And I'm the one with the worst grades. Who do you think you're trying to fool by giving me such a ridiculous question?! All the mages present are full of wisdom. How can they not see through your little trick? "
Before Lin could say anything sarcastic, the mages who had been watching from the sidelines couldn't stand it anymore. In fact, when Shang Murat, who had come looking for trouble, had turned to look at the seating area, many of the mages had been enraged. And what he had said seemed to be fooling everyone present. That's right, how could the people present not see through this little trick!
Archmage Kabanbai slapped the table and stood up. He didn't even look at the clown-like Shang Murat. Instead, he glared at the leader of the team of inspectors and said, "Liam, enough! How long do you intend to continue this farce?! "
The overseer with a sinister expression didn't even look at him as he said, "Lord Kabanbai, what do you mean by that? I'm just accepting the accusation of a kind-hearted Magician and standing up for him. Isn't this the duty of an inspector? "
"I don't care if you know the truth or not. How dare you barge into my academy and disturb my class? Do you think you're invincible just because you're wearing that yellow cloak? When I was killing people, your parents were still drinking milk. Scram, scram out of my academy! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can leave in one piece. "
Liam, however, spoke slowly, "Lord Kabanbai, at your age, you shouldn't be so agitated. Doesn't your chest feel stuffy and your heart beat especially violently? "
Just as Liam was speaking, a few mages with special senses could faintly see a transparent human figure slowly walking along the wall. It approached the back of the seemingly senseless mage standing on the podium.
Some thought they were seeing things, while others were on high alert and secretly prepared their spells, ready to cast. The energy fluctuations seemed to be contagious, and all the mages secretly prepared their offensive spells. Some had even cast supportive spells on themselves.
Some made a big commotion, while others made a small one. Even so, everyone remained calm and collected as they focused on Liam, wanting to hear what else he had to say.
The transparent human figure didn't stop walking. Instead, it walked in a large circle and approached from behind someone. Those who could faintly see the silhouette or faintly sense it were calculating the best time to make a move. The atmosphere was tense, and if they made a single miscalculation, the situation could easily spiral out of control.
Just as everyone was racking their brains and scheming, the transparent person disappeared. Even the mages who had faintly sensed it with their senses lost that trace of warning. Some of them couldn't believe it and secretly cast detection spells. For a moment, all kinds of obscure energy fluctuations were running amok in the lecture hall. Even Liam, the great mage supervisor, stopped stalling and arguing with Kabambai and glared at someone.
Lin tried to put on an innocent expression, but it looked even more annoying. He said, "Oh, what's the matter, respected supervisor? Could it be that there's an invisible existence? Did something happen? Ah, no, it can't be seen, so it shouldn't exist. How can something that doesn't exist happen? So everything should be fine. Is that right? Or did I, a country bumpkin, misunderstand the thinking of you city people again? Please tell me, are the mages of the Holy City reasonable, or are they bullying the weak and fearing the strong? "
With this sarcastic remark, some of the hot-tempered warrior followers wanted to attack on the spot. But the air was filled with a suffocating energy, and that was because the mages present were all holding back one or two spells.
These weren't defensive or strengthening spells, but offensive spells that were fatal enough to lock onto the uninvited guests in the lecture hall. Although the locking of each spell was hidden and difficult to detect, there were still so many of them. However, that number was so great that even the slowest warrior would know that he was being watched by countless mages.
This kind of malicious attention made them not dare to act rashly. They didn't even dare to turn their heads to look at the masters they followed. They were afraid that any movement would trigger a certain mage's sensitive nerves. If one of them attacked, it would be like ten thousand spells being cast at the same time, and they would die.
Liam frowned. Today's situation was very different from what he'd imagined. It was obvious that the mages in the lecture hall were all pointing their spears at them. Even the people they'd planted in the dark didn't dare to show their faces. In particular, Shang Murat's ugly behavior had caused them to lose their commanding position. If they continued to persist, it was very likely that they would have to deal with the hundreds of mages present.
It was true that the supervisor was in charge of the Society of Sorcerers and represented the military force of justice, but not all mages feared the meaning behind the yellow shawl. There were many such people in the Holy City of Estali.
Not to mention all of them, but most of the mages sitting in the lecture hall were powerful enough to fight the supervisor headquarters. Of course, it wasn't necessarily their individual strength. The power behind them couldn't be underestimated either. If they were to fight against everyone here, even his teacher wouldn't be enough.
Recognizing the reality, Liam gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." Without waiting for the others to react, he was the first to turn and walk out of the lecture hall. If it weren't for the dignity of the supervisor, he probably would've broken into a run. The gathering malice was growing stronger and stronger.
With the strongest people running away, the rest didn't dare to stay any longer. They didn't even dare to say anything as they all turned and ran.
Looking at the fleeing figures of the group, Lin said with some disappointment, "So this is the Society of the Holy City. They've fallen. They're no different from the nobles. "
Although he didn't point at the noses of the people present and scold them, each and every one of them felt their faces burning.
She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but she closed the door of the classroom as if nothing had happened. She clapped her hands and said, "Alright, I've wasted enough time. I won't delay the end of class, so I have to hurry up a little. The next part is the two-dimensional quadratic equation. Did anyone come up with a factorization method in the time just now? Actually, everyone has learned the factorization method of the one-dimensional quadratic equation. The method is similar to this … "
The mages were very clear about what was right and wrong. They couldn't blame the mage in front of them at all for what happened just now. They could only blame the supervisors for coming up with ridiculous excuses. Some people even secretly decided that if they wanted to peacefully attend this mathematics class, they couldn't just sit under the podium. They had to put in some effort.
Among them, Archmage Cabanbai's thoughts were the most radical. The earliest uproar was because his students didn't dare to stop the supervisors. As a result, the supervisors destroyed the magic statues that only obeyed orders because they foolishly prevented people without permission from entering the academy.
In the future, if the supervisors entered the academy without his permission, they would be treated as enemies and dealt with. If they didn't listen, they would be killed on the spot! Otherwise, if these arrogant yellow shawls who never looked people in the eye disturbed the class every few days, how would the people here learn? This was a place for learning, not a place for settling grudges.
The people on and off the podium all had different thoughts, but the class ended peacefully.
Lin didn't take what happened today seriously. With the mentality of 'block soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir', and running away if he couldn't withstand it, the days returned to their own pace.
However, in a place where he couldn't see, a violent storm was blowing.
Shang Murat had been thrown to the countryside by her family to be responsible for driving away magical beasts and guarding the family's fields. It was estimated that she wouldn't be able to return to the Holy City until her next life.
In the Association's office, the receptionist who had been in charge of registering the two mages, Gablash Tripwood and Fanny, had been expelled from the Association. They had replaced the receptionist with a professional who had been assigned to handle the affairs of the two archmages, so they didn't have to trouble the two mages.
The supervisor team led by Liam received a border investigation mission from the headquarters. They were assigned to the Forest of Magical Beasts, which spanned across three districts, to investigate over a hundred missing persons cases that had been pending for decades. There was also a note in the order: "Don't come back until you have investigated all the cases to the bottom."
The people who seemed to be on Cabanbai's side dealt with the matter very quickly. But in fact, those who knew the ropes knew that the ones who had been dealt with were just abandoned pawns. Some people might know the identity of the person who was really hiding behind the scenes, but it wasn't to the extent of falling out with him.
Now, everyone was still in the stage of probing, constantly testing the bottom line and limits of their opponents. Before they figured everything out, no one would be the first to take that step.
