Magic armor was both a tool and a weapon. To the experts of the new era, it was an extension of the physical body and a supplement to the path of a profession.
Saul's Starry Knight Academy was an academy that specialized in training and training magic armor driving, manufacturing, and designing. After a full set of Star Knight education, one could only become a qualified magic armor driver. In fact, they were only third-rate.
What kind of achievements were considered second-rate and first-rate? This probably had to start from the role of a profession academy.
Academies and schools, no matter what they trained or taught, ultimately still trained a professional. In a world where the social division of labor was relatively independent, several years, or even several decades of specialized study would be enough to create a professional with a complete professional system and sufficient professional skills.
The so-called profession was to differentiate between professionals and ordinary people. If an ordinary person could do a job, then the existence of professionals would be meaningless. For example, in ancient times, those who could read for two years could become accountants, teachers, or shopkeepers. In modern times, there were no illiterate people. Professional researchers and clerks would need more than ten years of learning.
The more developed society was, the more skills and knowledge there were, and the greater the difference between professionals and non-professionals.
Back to the magic armor. Why was it said that only a qualified magic armor pilot would be a third-rate student in Starry Knight Academy? That was because if one only needed to learn how to pilot a magic armor, there was no need for him to come to Starry Knight Academy. He could simply find a short-term training class and spend three to four months to become a decent student.
Then, since it was a skill that could be learned quickly in a few months, was there a need to spend years or decades in a specialized academy? Wasn't Starry Knight Academy a fraud academy that misled people?
In fact, more than half of the students left every year. Their standards were only slightly better than those who graduated from short-term training classes, but it was limited. Starry Knight Academy was a place that wasted time. The management was lax, and as long as one arrived on time, there was no difficulty in graduating. Some people were not expelled even though they were not in school most of the time (Rorschach was like this). The content of their studies was simple, and although there was no pressure to graduate, they felt that they had not learned anything after leaving. They felt that they had been cheated.
Many local nobles came here to go through the motions. After they left, they probably would not touch magic armor for the rest of their lives. In fact, this level of education was enough.
However, this did not mean that there was nothing to learn. Most of those who complained that they did not learn anything had yet to even touch the door to becoming a true Star Knight.
Magic armor driving in Starry Knight Academy started in the first year. However, most of the high-level content had to be found by oneself. Elective classes, lectures by experts, and guidance by masters were all channels.
Individual driving skills were limited, and there was also the neural connection mode. Therefore, professional magic armor drivers would not care about manual driving skills.
The coordination, command, and deployment in team battles were also the content of driving a magic armor. The tactical training of thousands of small-scale battles, the cooperation with other types of magic armors, the use of special weapons, and the tactical performance of all kinds of special weapons required special time to be learned.
Those who only knew how to drive magic armor in battle could only be considered a militia. From explosives, to intelligence gathering, to command, sniping, ambush, small-scale cooperation, and large-scale battles, the difference between militia who knew how to use guns and professionally trained warriors was so great that it was impossible to calculate.
This was only limited to individual magic armors. In addition, magic armors had to work together with magic war machines such as floating ships to fight in the universe, the deep sea, deserts, and other special terrains. Magic armors of different occupations had different functions and conventional functions. Even if one only learned how to drive magic armor, there were too many things that could be learned.
Many professions were like this. It was very boring to look at the constant scenery outside the window every day. However, when they really opened the door, they would realize that the scenery outside was infinitely big. Most people could not even be bothered to look outside the window. They would only look at the things inside the house.
One step further and the world would be infinitely big.
Moreover, the Starry Knight Academy's Interstellar Knight Package did not only teach magic armor driving skills.
As a driver, one could not always count on logistics services. If the magic armor broke down on the battlefield, they would also need simple repair skills.
In order to master the repair skills, one naturally had to understand the structure of the magic armor.
Therefore, new students in the driving faculty would also have courses such as repair and the principles of magic armor.
As a first-rate Interstellar Knight Academy, it was a bit laughable that they could only do this.
Not only did the academy have a complete repair and magic armor manufacturing course, but there were also experts and authoritative figures in the industry. Every year, many great repairmen and engineers would study here or go out to establish their own companies or research institutes.
There was so much rich content and so many different subject categories. Yet, after spending so many years, they only learned driving skills at the level of a short-term training course. They even had to complain that the academy didn't teach them well … No matter how one looked at it, one's responsibility was greater.
This was not a compulsory primary school or middle school. Everyone was an adult. It was obviously too naive to expect others to plan everything for you.
With enough time and accumulated knowledge, one would be able to form an independent knowledge system. After polishing for a few years in the Saul Starry Knight Academy, one would be able to become a qualified Saul graduate with expertise in driving, repair, tactical usage, and research … Yes, they would still only be qualified. At most, they could only be considered second-rate.
What should a first-rate graduate be like? Actually, Rorschach, who was currently at the top of his grade in all subjects, was already one of them.
To Rorschach, magic armor was only a tool. However, it was also a shortcut on the path to becoming strong.
They didn't study magic armor technology for the sake of working or making a living. Instead, they viewed it as a way to make up for their weaknesses and strengthen their advantages.
From the very beginning, they had worked hard to learn combat techniques in order to become stronger and better adapt to the environment and the battlefield.
They viewed magic armor technology as a part of their job system. When they became a job class and learned various magic and martial arts techniques, they would consider the magic armor's bonuses and advantages.
Without magic armor, they would be incomplete. But with the magic armor that they personally designed and created, their combat strength would increase immeasurably. Only then would they be complete individuals.
In fact, in order to better achieve the effect of playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, they had grasped enough technical standards and began to tailor their Demonic Armors. From zero to a complete Demonic Armor, it belonged exclusively to them and served them. The increase in their combat power was immeasurable.
Such people would receive an additional title, "Magic Armor Master".
During the combat class that day, the instructor didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he talked about the seniors who had become "otaku magic armor masters". However, he couldn't help but be a little proud of himself. After all, only graduates who reached a certain level would be able to create magic armor for themselves. In all of Saul, there were only three or four academies that could nurture such students.
Even the most outstanding academies in Starknight Academy would usually require graduates to be able to create magic armor for themselves. However, Rorschach was only in his third year. He couldn't even be considered to have completed half of his studies.
This wasn't because Rorschach's academic level had surpassed his seniors. Instead, it was because the cost of creating a magic armor was simply too high. It was enough to provide a theoretical sketch during the learning phase. There was no need to actually create a finished product … Nobody knew how many modifications would be made to the magic armor by the time they graduated, and whether or not it would be able to represent the designer's peak level.
By the time they graduated and their job abilities were more or less set, they would then provide their own personal magic armor design, which would also be their graduation work. It would be a complete work that had been modified countless times. This was the norm … That was why a magic armor master's level was usually determined by their graduation design.
