Just like that, the new semester began. Mia and Tisdale changed into their white uniform skirt and white stockings and returned to the academy together with Baiyi. The two beautiful girls were undoubtedly the most eye-catching scenery. Their skirts fluttered along with their movements and the gentle breeze, commemorating the most beautiful time of their youth.
It was already autumn and in this season of harvest, the Celestial Fortress Academy was also glowing with vitality. Leading the two girls, Baiyi walked in the middle of the group of students who were constantly showing off their youthful aura. For a moment, he felt that he had become a few years younger.
Unfortunately, with his age, it did not matter even if he was a few hundred years younger...
After watching Mia and Tisdale walk into the special classroom that was hung with the symbol of the golden rose, Baiyi returned to the Seniors Park alone. The group of workmates that he had not seen for three months was already there. When he saw them, Baiyi was immediately filled with all kinds of small gifts. There were all kinds of flowers and grasses that were planted in small animal pots, there were also sausages that were smoked by the students' mothers and there were also some small souvenirs and local specialties that were produced in other places. These were all given to Baiyi by the workmates' Soul Armature practitioners.
Only Baiyi was empty-handed. In order to avoid embarrassment, he had no choice but to reopen the wooden cabin in the Seniors Park and reopen the blacksmith shop that he had not seen for a long time.
However, this time, the blacksmith shop would not be open for too long. Baiyi planned to help the workmates adjust their bodies and deal with the joints that were deformed due to the strenuous exercise. Fortunately, the workmates seemed to be more peaceful than him during the holidays. There was not much work left for Baiyi to do other than the fact that Mr. Owl's neck could actually rotate 180 degrees. Didn't he turn back into an owl?
"Sigh, my little ancestor insisted on taking me to the cave and in the end, I ended up like this..." Mr. Owl explained.
It was understandable that most of the Soul Armatures would treat their practitioners as their own children. But why would his neck hurt when he went into the cave?
"Because the cave was too narrow, my body couldn't get in, and the little ancestor refused to give up, so I could only take off my head and accompany her in. In the end, after I put it back, I became like this." Mr. Owl gave a brief explanation.
Baiyi could not help but gasp in amazement. He had always thought that he had pampered Mia enough but who would have thought that there would be someone who was even more excessive than him? The only thing that was missing was his head being plucked off for her to kick like a ball!
"I can't help it. When I died, my daughter was Cynthia's age, so when I saw her, I couldn't control my emotions," Mr. Owl said helplessly.
Don't bother explaining! You perverted demon father! Baiyi cursed under his breath, labeling Mr. Owl as a perverted owl.
There was not much work that Baiyi needed to do. After he was done with the physical examination of his workmates, he closed the door of the blacksmith shop and tried to join in the conversation of his workmates. Still, the content was nothing fancy. Other than talking about their own children, they were just gossiping about the rumors.
However, a few of them mentioned the term Godsfall cult. From them, Baiyi found out that the Church had already begun to take action. However, in order not to cause panic and disturb the lives of the common people, the Church chose to be gentle and low-key. They mainly put up notices, preached the pros and cons and cooperated with the city defense team to secretly arrest the culprits. It seemed like the Church was the leader and not the Judicial Court.
Baiyi was a little dissatisfied with such a soft approach. He did not quite understand the thoughts of the higher-ups of the Church. It was obvious that the culprit was a powerful and well-hidden large-scale cult but in the end, for the sake of saving their reputation, they actually used such a superficial method? Admittedly, such a method would have the least impact on the social order and normal life but isn't it a little too slow?
In Baiyi's opinion, it would be better to let those scoundrels from the Judicial Court do the job. Even if both parties were on opposing sides, he had to admit that.
However, the battle between the Church and the cult was none of his business. As long as the Church helped him to draw the hatred away from the culprit, it would be fine. Even though the Church's method was slow, it did not mean that they did not have any hidden methods. No matter what the Godsfall cult's plan was, Baiyi did not believe that they would be able to withstand the pressure from the Church and continue to carry it out. There was no need for him to worry about it at all.
However, with the topic of Godsfall, the workmates finally had something to talk about. For a moment, they all expressed their opinions. Some of them had the same opinion as Baiyi and some of them supported the Church's method. However, they did not know much about the situation so their discussion was rather superficial. As they chatted, the topic began to move towards the topic of 'how many cultists did I kill all by myself in the past?'
The conversation suddenly became boring. Baiyi simply took out a gadget that he had made on the spur of the moment last night from his storage pouch. It was a set of Chinese chess. It was specially made for his workmates because they usually stayed at the Seniors' Park and did nothing. It was just too boring.
The rules of China Chess were very simple. After a brief explanation, Mr. Sorry took the lead and volunteered to play a game with Baiyi. After all, it was his first time playing such a novel game. Very quickly, he was defeated by Baiyi and was utterly defeated.
The other workmates were also interested in the game and took turns to play against Baiyi. However, they were all defeated very quickly, allowing Baiyi to experience the thrill of being the Chess Saint.
After that, he gave up his position to the other excited workmates. It was indeed meaningless to bully someone who did not know how to play chess. He himself had not even mastered the art of chess and the other Voidwalkers were not interested in it either. Not only were they terrible at playing chess, they were also always changing the rules.
For example, the Thane said that as a general, he must take the lead, forcing his general to be at the front line. His opponent, the Paladin, did not want to be outdone either. He said that his horse was a knight and he must cover his pawns as they charged forward together.
The two of them were still considered to be the best. When the others played, they were basically showing off their shamelessness. The Lich forcibly turned the whole chessboard into pawns and said that they were his skeleton soldiers. The Assassin said that all of her chess pieces were shadow assassins that were invisible so no one would be able to see them. Of course, the most outrageous one was the Archmage. He forcefully said that his Prime Minister was a sorcerer whose strength was on par with his so his elephant must also be a magic Prime Minister. As soon as the game started, he used a set of forbidden spells to devour all of his opponent's chariots, horses, and cannons.
After that, Baiyi banned the chess game. Those guys really did not respect the rules of the game. No wonder they were locked up in the Void. Compared to them, the workmates were much more well-behaved. They still strictly followed the rules when they played. They did not say that their elephant was a dumbo and they had to cross the river by force.
That's pretty good. When I'm free later on, I'll teach them some Taiji Fist and how to keep a bird. Then, this park can officially become the Seniors Park.
Just like that, the whole morning passed by slowly. Mia and Tisdale came to the Seniors Park at the same time to find Baiyi and told him that they could go home first in the afternoon.
At first, Baiyi was stunned. Then, he remembered that Mia was already an elite student in the Golden Rose class. The Golden Rose class adopted an open education system that was similar to the universities on Earth. It was more practical and there were almost no compulsory courses and they did not teach the basic theory of magic. After all, the students who were able to enter the class were either taught the basic knowledge or had the ability to learn by themselves.
For this reason, in the Golden Rose class, the students could freely choose from 1 to 3 different subjects to study. Mia handed a list to Baiyi that listed the names of the 20 teachers in charge of the Golden Rose class and the specific subjects that they were in charge of. There were various types of elemental magic, auxiliary magic and even magic theory research.
In the end, the students still had to be cautious in their choice. Considering the time and energy, it was best for a low-level sorcerer to decide on a main direction of attack. If they planned to go for the offensive route, they would specialize in Fire and Wind magic plus a combat subject. If they planned to go for the auxiliary defensive route, they would specialize in Water magic and auxiliary magic plus a magic support subject. If they wanted to be an academic sorcerer who wanted to do theoretical research, they would not need to specialize in a certain type of magic, they could just choose a theoretical research subject.
After choosing the route and leveling up to the Master Level or even the Legendary Level, they would then switch to other subjects. This way, they would be able to form a solid foundation faster and it would be easier for them to switch to other subjects.
For example, Tisdale chose the offensive route before but this time, Mia was more inclined towards magic support.
In fact, if it was up to Baiyi, he would let both girls choose the theoretical subject. There was no other reason other than the fact that there would be fewer classes so that he could have more time to personally teach the two little ones.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." Baiyi said as he led the two beautiful girls all the way back to the mansion under the envious gaze of the people around them.
This time, Attie who stayed at home had already put on her clothes so when she heard the sound of the door opening, she ran over in her little leather shoes to welcome them. Humming a folk song from her hometown, she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for them.
It seemed like she was enjoying the life of a maid.
While Attie was cooking, Baiyi told the two girls about his thoughts. Immediately, a look of dismay appeared on their faces. It seemed like they were not interested in the theoretical subjects at all. Perhaps they were afraid that they would turn into a nerd like the Scholar?
Seeing that the two of them were against it, Baiyi did not say anything more. He decided to respect their decision. But then, he remembered that Tisdale was already in her fourth year. Theoretically speaking, she should have started her internship with her mentor.
"You don't have to follow a mentor for an internship. You can choose your own way of doing it," Tisdale explained. I just need to reach the required assessment standards by the end of the year. That's why I didn't choose an intern mentor. It's better for me to stay by your side, teacher. I'm more interested in Rohserlian magic! "
