However, there was no doubt that he was a selfless lecturer. He would try his best to answer every question that came his way.
Therefore, none of the students would miss this opportunity. They were all very serious in class.
It was a pity that Reynolds, who found this theory boring, was still drowsy. It was just a theory. He could just listen to it casually. There was no need to digest this boring knowledge. Therefore, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep on the table.
Feeling a bone-chilling cold on his head, Reynolds, who had dreamed of some strange things, woke up with a start. He raised his head with a blank expression and was about to ask something. Suddenly, he remembered that he was in a classroom in Tang Dynasty's Chang 'an Academy.
It was a familiar scene.
However, the blackboard had been replaced by a magic mirror, and the chalk had been replaced by an ice ball. The lecturer, Carter, was standing on the podium. He was so angry that his beard was blowing and his eyes were glaring. His palm was still open, and his palm was facing Reynolds. Naturally, he was the one who threw the ice ball.
Irene looked helpless. She had already poked Reynolds's waist several times when she saw that the situation was not good.
This was Irene's weakness. She would laugh if she used any force. However, it was useless on Reynolds.
Carter's face was gloomy. "Student, is my lecture that boring?"
Reynolds hurriedly said, "Not at all, Mr. Carter. Your lecture is lively, witty, and humorous. My respect for you is like a surging river. It's endless. It's also like …"
Carter interrupted him. "Very good. Go to the warrior training field at the back of the mountain and chop the Trial Stone a thousand times! Come back when you have enough data! "
Reynolds walked out of the classroom in embarrassment. He couldn't help but feel that it was funny and unbelievable.
He didn't expect that no matter which school he was in, the teachers were all the same.
…
The Stone of Trials was a type of stone used by Warriors and Assassins who used heavy or light weapons to practice basic movements such as hacking, chopping, knocking, and stabbing to increase their strength. It was not accurate to call it a stone, because it was not as hard as normal stones. Instead, it was flexible, like cow tendons. In fact, it was a special kind of plant. When damaged by external forces, it could absorb the particles in the air and recover at an amazing speed. It was a pity that there wasn't a lot of it, otherwise, it would definitely be the best material for the city walls.
However, the production of Trial Stones was enough to become the training tools of the academy. Moreover, they were of the best quality. If they were really hard and big stones, after a few slashes, the recoil would split the skin between the thumb and the index finger. Inferior weapons would even be greatly damaged, making it difficult to achieve the effect of high-frequency training.
Another benefit of the Stone of Trials was that the feeling of the weapons clashing against it was similar to that of many magical beasts and humans. This would allow the martial artist to be fully mentally prepared when they set foot on the battlefield in the future.
However, even if it was a flexible object, it was not an easy task to cut it thousands of times. Furthermore, he could not be lazy. This was because the academy's Trial Stone had a built-in recording device. If he cut the stone, the data would be recorded. However, when his strength reached a certain level, the number of cuts recorded would increase. It was not something that could be done just by fooling around. All records would be automatically cleared after the tester took out the data sheet, leaving it for future testers to continue practicing. In addition, during the practice period, the frequency of every ten minutes could not be lower than a certain value. Otherwise, the data would also be cleared, and it would not be possible to divide the time to complete it. The cultivation of perseverance and willpower required a spurt of energy. This was especially true when magical beasts attacked cities or when foreign countries were in conflict. Occupations such as warriors and knights had to stand at the forefront to resist the tide of magical beasts and armies. Sometimes, it was simply impossible to stop and take a breather.
The academy often used the Trial Stones to arrange training tasks for the students. There was no need for the instructors to personally supervise them. Instead, the students themselves had to hand in the data sheet. Generally speaking, it was a rare opportunity to study in the academy. Almost everyone would work hard and never be lazy. They would strive to absorb as much knowledge as possible before graduation and embark on the path of the strong.
The Trial Stones were usually used during the practical class, but today was an exception. This was because the academy was currently only at the theory class stage for freshmen. However, there was one more person in the freshmen's trial field. This was a large field with an area of three thousand square meters, but there was only one person because it was class time.
A few days later, Reynolds had a preliminary understanding of the Chang 'an Academy. Most of the professions in the Tang Empire had been opened: Warrior, Magic Master, Assassin, Thief, Archer, followed by Hunter, Assistant, Priest, Summoner, Boundary Master …
Generally speaking, they were classified according to physics and magic.
Reynolds studied physics, while Lin Ling studied magic.
This was just the information Reynolds had heard. Before he saw Lin Ling in person, Reynolds would not be relieved.
The distance between the martial arts class and the magic class was really far. If one took the Earth Dragon Carriage, it would take about half an hour to drive there. This showed how large the Chang 'an Academy was.
In detail, there were usually dozens of classes for major majors, and each class had about a dozen students. Classes for minor majors had fewer students, and it was possible to have a dozen or even a few students.
All in all, the Chang 'an Academy had an astonishing number of students, nearly twenty thousand. Every year, they sent so many talents to the Tang Empire, so their status in the whole society of the Tang Empire was very high.
People of the royal family and the nobles had to respect these lecturers and did not dare to be arrogant.
The requirements of the academy were very strict. Classes started at seven in the morning, took an hour's rest at noon, and then continued until about four in the afternoon. However, Reynolds felt that these classes were much more relaxed than his high school. It was similar to the university he attended.
It was just that the classes he had been attending these past few days were all about basic theories. What Reynolds wanted to hear was the history of Great Tang, the history of the continent, and even the swords and sabers that he had imagined training in the training grounds, he didn't get to hear or practice them at all. Therefore, he inevitably felt a little bored and began to selectively doze off in class.
And these basic theory classes would last for two weeks.
"Many people's understanding of warriors stops at their thick muscles and tyrannical strength. But in fact, warriors are not magic beasts who only know how to attack. No matter how strong our muscles are, it is difficult to resist the teeth and claws of magic beasts. Even if our defensive power is high, we will be at a disadvantage if we fight head-on. Therefore, we must learn how to dodge, block, and other defensive skills. Now, I will talk about the specific content of defense … "
