The communication between the leaders of the Empire and the Realm of the Gods was definitely a major event worthy of being recorded in the history of the new Empire. After that, the direct passage between the Realm of the Gods and the Realm of Schilling was reestablished. Both sides shared information and sent envoys to each other … Each of these follow-up actions was a major event that would affect the structure of the multiverse. However, while the City of Shadows and Avalon were working on these projects, the other people in the City of Shadows were still living their own lives. In this mystical city that was the hub of all worlds, it had its own special way of life.
Today was already the third day after returning from the Realm of the Gods. The daily work in the City of Shadows, other than the research on the giant shard and the expansion of the passage, was back on track. Yesterday, I brought Shallow Shallow and Little Bubble to the park to play. During that time, I was treated as a newlywed three times and lost Little Bubble twice. I was tormented by Shallow Shallow's strange thoughts many times. This made me decide that I would not go out with the two of them for the next two days no matter what. Thus, I decided to make a trip to the military academy on a whim. On the pretext of inspecting the work, I was actually going to see Osaka's younger sisters and also to see Poison Island Chestnut. In a way, although she was an ordinary person, she was even more of a headache for me.
It seemed that it was a wise decision to strongly recommend Poison Island Chestnut to return to school life in the Imperial Army's Military Academy. After many days of boredom and my previous strong recommendation, the girl who was a little unique among her peers finally returned to the life of a normal female high school student instead of continuing to play the role of a maid. That was more like it. Senior should be wearing a school uniform and a wooden sword. Everything else was evil!
Perhaps it was because I had not come into contact with school life for a long time, I had almost forgotten the schedule of the school's students. When I arrived at the academy, the last class in the morning was in progress. Naturally, I did not see anyone. But it was fine. I could take a look at the daily teaching activities of the most famous and cruel academy in the multiverse. I had always been curious about how those nonsensical classes were taught, but I had never had the time to look. Speaking of which, from a certain perspective, I was also half a person who worked in education.
I found Rider in the office playing with a handheld console. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her Medusa. I planned to have her bring me to the open-air teaching area. This Einherjar had been teaching in the Imperial Army Academy for a few months now.
Aside from being official teachers like Demetrius, many of Avalon's Einherjars were staff members of the Imperial College. When they had no tasks, they would teach students in the College, mostly in charge of elective courses. After all, there were very few problems that required the Einherjars to solve, and Dingdang was in charge of ordinary worlds that had nothing to do. Since Shallow Shallow was one of the directors of the academy, this mysterious school had many unheard of rules, such as the system where the teachers could apply for classes themselves. Those who had a special skill and were qualified to teach could apply for an unprecedented course. Even teaching someone how to tie shoelaces in ten seconds was not a problem. As long as there were students who were willing to sign up after the pre-application, you could open your own course. Which of those heroes, emperors, generals, and ministers didn't have any special skills? Thus, the school's curriculum had reached an outrageous level. In comparison, Medusa's application for an all-around riding class was considered normal. Even though I felt that knowledge like unicorn riding and Bahamut riding shouldn't be part of riding training.
"This is the Ministry of Magic's teaching area." Medusa led the way in front and brought me to one of the districts of this huge academy. Although her game strategy was interrupted, she seemed to be in a good mood and had a smile on her face. "The Ministry of Magic's teaching area is very big. It is divided according to the major. In front is the Undead Magic teaching area. The main lecturer of the Undead Magic major is a Death Knight from Azeroth. She doesn't have many students, but she doesn't have too few either. Right now, it should be a practical class. Oh, as expected, it's a class. "
The Empire didn't prohibit Undead Magic and Shadow Magic. Although these two powers could easily lead to hidden dangers if used improperly, we had magical girls. There were many magical girls. The Monkey Ravens' exquisite magic skills improved all types of Undead Magic and Shadow Magic, allowing them to be trained in a safe and humane way. Furthermore, after removing some of the negative effects of magic, it effectively improved the appearance of Dark Mages. This was well received by the majority of Necromancers in Undercity.
The open-air circular plaza in front of us was the teaching area of the Ministry of Magic's practical classes. This type of circular plaza was specially made for magic training. It was made with extremely strong starship materials and a layer of star gold. The outer layer had a psionic shield that could be turned off, effectively preventing offensive magic from damaging the teaching area. It also prevented the phenomenon of students skipping classes. Currently, an Undead Magic class was being taught in the teaching area. A female Blood Elf wearing an ordinary black teacher's uniform stood in the middle of the circular plaza and spoke to a dozen students in front of her. Medusa pointed at the Blood Elf and introduced her to me, "That is the Undead Magic major's teacher, Phelia. She is a Death Knight and was once a pawn of the Calamity. It is said that at the end of the war to save the world, a wrench that fell from a goblin airship hit the back of her head. Thus, she regained her free will and turned against the enemy on the battlefield, killing all of her former subordinates. Afterwards, she muddleheadedly joined the Salvation Army and came here to be a teacher after the war. That is because she was a magic teacher in Silver Moon City when she was alive. "
"You are quite familiar with her?"
Medusa nodded, "She is very lucky …"
The female undead knight who was teaching the students noticed our arrival and immediately stopped her lecture to greet us. I waved my hand at her, indicating for her to continue. Then, I watched with great interest from the side to see what a so-called undead magic class looked like.
"Students, we have already understood how to improve existing magic, as well as the technique to optimize the spellcasting process without changing the flow of magic power. This is a rare opportunity to show off. Who is willing to come up and show us the results of your improvement on existing magic?"
A tall and skinny Undead Mage with dark skin immediately stepped forward.
This student seemed to be a little nervous and kept sneaking glances at us. After confirming that my gaze was focused on him, he started to cast his spell at the empty space. Before casting the spell, he didn't forget to introduce it, "This is the magic that I created after improving and merging the Bone Prison and Bone Wall spells. I changed the arrangement of the white bones, allowing them to form a large discontinuous barrier. Just like this!"
The student chanted a short incantation and a dozen half-meter long sharp bone spikes appeared out of thin air a hundred meters in front of him.
"These white bones are formed by magic power and are extremely sturdy. Even a heavy tank would find it difficult to break any one of them. However, I can summon a dozen of them at once! Compared to the Bone Prison spell which has a limited range, these improved Bone Walls are more focused on defense. "
The unknown student explained proudly.
"Zero points." The Death Knight instructor shrugged his shoulders and evaluated mercilessly.
The student was dumbfounded. I was also a little dumbfounded: This magic is obviously not bad. Not to mention other things, these bone spikes grew out of thin air on this indestructible ground. Isn't that amazing? Also, to be able to change a fixed spell into this appearance, this student's magic skills are obviously very profound. In his world, he would at least be at the level of a Grand Magister. How could he get zero points just like that?
"When you go back, pay more attention to the sports channel." The Death Knight instructor sighed, "Liu Xiang will only need twelve seconds to kill you. Next!"
The second one to come out was a Skeleton Mage. As it walked forward, it was busy using a rope to tie its student uniform to its neck. On its chin was a small device: a language generator commonly used by Skeleton people.
"Instructor, the magic I improved is Bone Enhancement. For Skeletons, it is a precious benefit. In the past, Bone Enhancement only increased the hardness and density of the white bones, but it didn't have the ability to change their appearance. This caused the enhancement to be limited. Now, I have found a way to increase the hardness of the bones while making the white bones thicker. Please take a look! "
As the Skeleton Mage spoke, it took out a handful of white powder and scattered it, summoning a wobbly little skeleton out of thin air. The Death Knight instructor immediately stopped it, "Wait — what is the casting material you used? How did you summon a skeleton without a corpse? "
The Skeleton Mage scratched its skull, "I bought some calcium tablets and ground them myself. It's just that the strength is a little lacking."
Damn, this is illogical!
"Uh, alright, I'll give you five points during the exam. Although it doesn't have much practical value. Now, show me your enhancement spell. "
The skeleton mage nodded and silently cast a spell. Then, there was a flash of greyish-white light. Under everyone's gaze, the pitiful, bony little skeleton that had been summoned using a calcium tablet immediately inflated like a balloon. Its arms and legs, which were originally as thin as chopsticks, now looked like Schwarzenegger's.
The Death Knight instructor watched for a while and suddenly asked faintly, "What's your mechanical score?"
"Zero."
"That's also zero. Try and make this thing take a step!"
With a clatter, the skeletons who were summoned as teaching tools fell to the ground.
"Fortunately, you didn't experiment on yourself first. Otherwise, the students would have to put you on a machine and grind you again. Didn't you notice that even this thing's joints are dead?! What have you been experimenting on before? "
"… Moraf's snail next door. I was wondering why the snail didn't come out recently. I thought it didn't want to come out after moving to a bigger house. "
A muscular Halfling immediately jumped out from the crowd of students and rushed towards the Skeleton Mage who was not very smart. "Damn it, it's you! You made my Mehmed the First suffocate to death!! "
After the demonstration, a few more students walked up one after another. Purely from the perspective of magic skills, they were all outstanding talents. In a standard world, they would at least be leaders in the academic world. This could be seen from the fact that they could improve their magic skills. However, it was a pity that I didn't see any reliable teaching results. Among the few students that had already demonstrated, the only one that was praised was the Skeleton Mage. He creatively used calcium tablets to summon skeletons. This made me gasp in amazement, and it effectively refreshed the bottom line of my worldview.
The Death Knight who was the instructor was obviously extremely embarrassed. Her original intention of setting up this course was definitely not to contribute to the Empire's funny business. However, the students that she recruited were obviously only talented in this aspect. When Medusa and I left, the Death Knight still had a bitter expression on her face. May Jingle bless the students that stayed at the scene.
"My original intention of setting up this academy was to let my sisters have a place to go and spend their normal student time." On the way, I said to Medusa who was quietly following beside me. "It's really unexpected for it to develop to such a scale. But to be honest, I feel that this place is a little too messy. "
Medusa looked over to my side. "Lord Shallow Shallow is the director. Who else but you can restrict her thoughts … But you don't have to worry about this. Although the academy has many ridiculous subjects, the main courses are still under control. Military command, modern technology, advanced magic. These courses can train a normal person to become an elite talent in a subsidiary world in a short period of time. Right now, the first batch of interns have already entered the servant army. Although our Heroic Spirit Unit isn't too familiar with the servant army, I have heard that even those interns who graduated from the two-year course have outstanding performance when carrying out missions. As for those messy courses, well, just treat it as extracurricular entertainment. "
"For example, the Bahamut Riding Technique?"
I glanced sideways at this domineering lady who was also teaching a cruel course.
"Horsemanship is a very important battle skill," Medusa said seriously. "It's hard to be sure what kind of mount you will find in the various worlds. Mastering a riding skill might give you the upper hand in battle."
I shrugged to express that I had nothing to say on this topic. Then, I asked about Poison Island Chestnut's situation in the academy.
She didn't enjoy any special privileges due to her close relationship with the royalty. Chestnut had to choose courses like a normal student and attend school obediently. What I was curious about was what she chose. Due to the existence of various auxiliary learning facilities, the number of basic courses in this academy was very small. A student could usually choose more than ten courses.
"Miss Poison Island, huh? She is really a lively person," Medusa's lips curled up. "Other than the compulsory course and home economics course, she also chose four types of combat courses, three types of cold weapons courses, three types of firearms courses, two military courses, including command and battle, the standard Azeroth-style magic refresher course, pharmaceutics, poisons, and assassination skills. Although she just entered the academy a few days ago, she even joined a club … Un, the Osaka's club. I'm not sure what it does specifically, but I once saw a mass-produced TX800 doing group exercises near the club. It should be a robotics conference or something like that. "
I thought about it and suddenly felt that it was a huge mistake to let a person with latent tyrannical tendencies enter this academy. What kind of mentality did that lass have when she entered this academy and chose those courses?
For the long-term peace of the world, I had to find some time to talk to her.
Medusa and I walked around the huge campus for a while and talked about the life in the City of Shadows. The purple-haired heroic spirit beside us wasn't a talkative person, but she was quite interested in this topic. She introduced me to the "Dingdang Heroic Spirits", a very special Heroic Spirit squad, their daily missions and their entertainment, as well as the recent trending topics among the Heroic Spirits. I noticed that she had a faint smile on her face and couldn't help but be curious, "You seem to be in a good mood?"
"How should I put it? I like the current lifestyle." Medusa waved the handheld in her hand. "Also, talking to you makes me happy. It gives me a sense of security."
I quickly waved my hand. "I'm not that great. Cough cough, can you say that again?"
"Can't you use a more perfunctory method?" Medusa turned her face away. "Heroic Spirits are all people with obsessions, but other than obsessions, we also have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. We also hope to live the life we like. When this wish is fulfilled, it's only right to express gratitude. But, what are you thinking about? "
"Me?" I scratched my face. "What do you see?"
Medusa only smiled and didn't say a word. However, it seemed that I had been too preoccupied with decoding the shard for the past two days. It was written all over my face.
The bell rang at that moment. Two minutes later, a long-haired girl wearing a school uniform walked over from the intersection in front of us. Poison Island Chestnut, who had returned to her identity as a student, walked over with Osaka and Triple-See-Through Mercury Lamp. If we were to consider the difference in height between the three of them, the way they chatted and laughed made them look like ordinary girls in the academy.
The three of them (Triple-See-Through Mercury Lamp counts as one, right?) They looked up and smiled at the same time. Osaka and Chestnut jogged over while the short-legged Triple-See-Through Mercury Lamp jumped up and hung onto Chestnut's leg.
"I came over to take a look." I spoke first and told Chestnut in advance, "You can either call me brother or call me by my name. You can't use the word 'master' here."
The long-haired girl hesitated for a moment before helplessly choosing the former.
"I never thought that I would be able to return to school, even though it's different from the previous school." Chestnut smiled faintly. She didn't seem to realize that she had chosen a bunch of ridiculous classes. I looked at the Triple-See-Through Mercury Lamp who was hopping around my leg, "You shouldn't be considered a student, right? Who's behind you? "
"I caught a cold today, so I got a substitute doll to attend class. Osaka, Osaka replied through Substitute Teacher Mercury Lamp. He is extremely dissatisfied with the severe deterioration in his height!"
"Substitute Teacher Mercury Lamp is a method that Osaka uses to ensure full attendance when he can't attend class. Other than practical lessons, the teacher allows Substitute Teacher Mercury Lamp to help answer questions. Osaka 12580 happily explained to Big Bro. "
These girls really know how to play. Currently, the mass-produced Mercury Lamp is equivalent to the big windmills and cylindrical robots in the school city of another world. They have become the scenery of the school!
I chatted with Chestnut about school matters. I could tell that she was in a good mood. Being able to return to school was the first thing that made her happy. Being able to learn some exciting classes that she liked was the second thing that made her happy. This made Poison Island very satisfied with the current situation. However, the reason why she came here to study was still giving me a headache:
"I want to make myself more useful. It would be great if I can go on an expedition with you next time."
I felt that my original intention of recommending her to school had been completely reversed.
