In a permanent military fortification in the Academy of Magic, it was originally the headquarters of the military fortress, but now it has been completely remodeled into a three-story building, and the sign of the Academy of Magic is hung on the big building downstairs. the door.
A team composed of four court magicians, two court scholars, Du Wei, Wei Wei'an, Master Eric and his two apprentices are conducting all the research results obtained in the Magic Society in recent days. reorganization.
In the end, a set of basic teaching materials for magic schools was compiled, including the basic theories of magic, as well as the compilation of some research results of various departments of magic, the improvement of spells, and several newly created spells , and the use and transformation of some magic props, the use of magic crystals, and so on.
Du Wei looked at it carefully, and felt that this was the most suitable entry-level teaching material for beginners of magic that he had seen so far.
Among the first batch of magic students, 30% of the students were teenagers selected by the magic union. Most of these guys were born under the traditional magician's sect, they had a good foundation, and were better than the magic union, and their education way is very backward.
In fact, in the early days of the establishment of the Magic Academy, the way of education and training was basically carried out in accordance with the traditional model.
The first is to test their talents, and then divide these students into departments according to their talents, and then teach them respectively by several teachers in the Magic Academy (several magicians from the court and the Magic Union).
In Du Wei's view, this is almost a practice of changing the soup without changing the medicine.
His plan is to revise a set of basic teaching materials for all students to learn, and then set up some basic subjects. Regular teachers serve as teachers of fixed subjects. And then... everything went according to the pattern of the kind of school he knew in his previous life.
However, such a model was rejected by the Magic Union on the pretext of "violating tradition".
The establishment of the Magic Society has already annoyed the old Chairman Yago Doug, and any new proposals to be passed now will be vigorously resisted by the Magic Union.
But it doesn't matter.
"Let the students from the magic union continue their old traditions." Du Wei laughed and said, "Let our students receive education according to the new model. They do what they do, and we do what we do."
Subsequently, in the resolution of the Management Committee of the Academy of Magic, the court magician occupied seven seats, and the magic union occupied seven. And Du Wei took one.
Finally, a resolution was adopted: the resolution on the management of branch teaching within the college.
The resolution was passed with eight votes in favor and seven against.
The School of Magic decides. Establish several branches in the academy, and the first branches are divided into different departments of magic, such as the branch of wind magic, the branch of fire magic, and so on.
However, students are allowed to take courses in other branches while majoring in this branch. The basic items of all branches are public, and any student is allowed to attend. And it is indicated that when graduating from all local colleges, in addition to passing all the major subjects of their own branch, they must also pass three elective subjects.
After the students conduct an initial test of talent. The sorting ceremony was completed. Obviously, fire magic, as the mainstream of tradition, once again won Master An.
Even Du Wei made some plans. If possible in the future, he might bring Joanna...even Gandalf in green robe into the academy.
Well, if the green robe Gandolf is really brought in, I'm afraid he will have to change his identity.
In this branch of Jianwei, the main content of the teaching is some basics of magic, mainly... magic pharmacy.
Of course, the name of the college cannot be called "Pharmacology Branch", because in the circle of magicians, there is general discrimination against pharmacy. If such a name is used, many people may not sign up at all.
Therefore, after thinking about it for an afternoon, Du Wei personally named this branch: Hogwarts Branch of Magic and Magic. The characteristic of Hogwarts branch is that all the subjects they teach are not majors, but all It is elective! In other words, this branch does not have a fixed number of students of its own. All the students come from other branches and come to take elective courses.
Surprisingly, in just three days after Hogwarts was officially listed, the number of students who signed up for elective courses surpassed that of the fire branch of the Magic Union!
Forty!
Among them, 30 students selected by the military all signed up for Hogwarts elective courses, mainly because Du Wei came from the Rollins family and had a strong appeal in the military. The dizzying lineup of the incoming branch.
In addition, the ten academies belonged to the royal camp, while none of the thirty academies belonging to the magic union signed up.
It is necessary to say here that the identities of all the students of the Magic Academy, the 30 students of the military, were all selected from the army, and 30 soldiers who were only 18 years old were selected, and they were all accepted in the army. He took some tests of magical talent and stood out from tens of thousands of people. And most of the students selected by the royal family are like this, they use some noble families to select some second sons or teenagers who have no inheritance rights. These guys have no possibility of inheriting the family, and they are willing to choose the path of magician as their hope for future development.
After all, no one wants to be a weird magician if he is a real nobleman who has the opportunity to inherit a huge family.
Most of these people have a record of serving in the army, and most of them even have considerable martial arts skills. After all, the atmosphere of martial arts on the mainland is very strong, especially the thirty eighteen-year-old students selected by the military. They all have at least one year of service experience in the military, and they are all quite talented, have received military training, and are very disciplined. These people are also extremely united in the academy. Even before the military sent them in, they had established a militarized organization, with captains, leaders, and discipline.
From Du Wei's point of view, the 30 members of the military are the most worthy group to win over. They have no family, and the only backer is the military, and most of them are from poor families (if they are rich and powerful, who would be willing to be a big soldier?) These people pay attention to records, and they are very concerned about themselves who came from a military family. , very respectful, and young, eighteen years old, is the age of boiling blood, extremely malleable, and young people are very easy to be incited to blood, as long as I play a little bit, it is easy to make the center of these guys Transfer to your own personal body.
On the first day of the opening of the Hogwarts branch, Du Wei did not pull everyone into the classroom to go directly to class like other branches. Instead, on the first day of registration, Du Wei stood at the door of the branch wearing a mage robe.
Seeing the forty students arriving one after another, Du Wei didn't let them directly enter the branch, but stood at the gate by himself. Blocked all the way.
"Be quiet." Looking down at the four eyes curiously
Staring at himself, although Du Wei was younger than most of them. (Thirty military students are all eighteen years old, while the other ten students come from various families loyal to the royal family, but they are all unfavored children, the youngest is only thirteen years old).
These immature faces are full of curiosity about themselves, Du Wei looked at the group of young people with satisfaction: "Before you enter this gate, I, as the dean of the branch, have something to explain to you These words are not pleasant, so after I finish speaking, if someone is not satisfied, you can lose face and leave here!"
Du Wei deliberately said these few words in a slow tone, and everyone was a little at a loss.
"I know. Most of you are soldiers." After Du Wei said this, the military students stood up straight consciously, "Most of you don't know magic at all. I don’t know. Hmph... Everyone comes from poor families, or, small nobles without inheritance rights, am I right?”
There was no sound below.
"If your life trajectory is above your original life trajectory, there is no hope in your life! No hope! You may have only become ordinary soldiers. Or small workers, apprentices... And some of the noble children who have no inheritance rights, after you grow up , you will not get any inheritance from the family, you will be living in the imperial capital. You will have to enter the army to serve, or... simply live in some shops and become a little helper or a small businessman who smells like copper!"
"But now, the establishment of the Academy of Magic has given you a turning point in your life! You guys may not have shown any talent at ordinary times, but overnight, it was discovered that you have magical talent, and then you were sent here! Perhaps When you came in, there were still many people who showed envious eyes to you! Yes! You must have done something, and you will become magicians in the future! Become a magician that everyone admires and fears! Right! You think you will become a magician Awarding is a very proud thing, very grand, very beautiful... The nobles will recruit you, you will become guests of honor, you will become big men who are flattered by everyone, and even you guys from the military will be able to be promoted after you go back. Get rich! Am I right?"
Still silent, but those students from the military showed a trace of shame on their faces. What Du Wei said was largely what these people were thinking.
"But you are all wrong!" Du Wei suddenly shouted with all his strength: "I can tell you, you are all wrong!!"
Afterwards, the smile on Du Wei's face was very cold, "What I want to tell you is, don't expect to realize your dreams with me—that ridiculous dream! I will personally shatter your fantasies and shatter your ridiculous expectations! Also, smashing your self-esteem is ridiculous!! Do you understand? With me, you will be trained harshly, you will be in danger, and you will even bleed and get injured at any time!"
Everyone's face darkened, and some people had a hesitant expression on their faces.
"But!" Du Wei said loudly: "But, as long as you can get out of me! If you get out, I guarantee that you will be completely different from those in other branches!!"
"I can say it bluntly, I will not train you to be the kind of arrogant, but full of idiot magicians! I will not let you become the kind of supercilious, think that you are full of knowledge, but you have never seen a real monster in your life." , or the empty airs of the real test! What I can teach you is the real thing! How to use magic to fight! If it is real, use your magic weapons most efficiently! If you use magic to defeat the enemies you face Any enemy! I will give you real things! Instead of letting you stay in the laboratory every day to fiddle with those boring things! Your future will be on the front line, bleeding and fighting for the empire! Not Be those high-ranking masters!"
After deliberately pausing for a long time, Du Wei looked at the people below: "Now, I will give you a minute to think about it. If you feel disappointed, you can turn around and go back. I will not hold you accountable, and I will give you free choices."
Sure enough, in one minute, quietly, among the crowd, eight people left. Those are noble children selected by the royal family. They become magicians just to get rich.
All the military personnel stayed behind. In addition, there were two young boys. Du Wei took a special look at the two young boys. These two boys were wearing ordinary coarse clothes. Li immediately remembered the personal information of the students that he had memorized by heart.
The two boys were dressed in plain coarse cloth. Du Wei immediately remembered the personal information of the students he had memorized by heart.
Beibei and Toka, this is a pair of brothers, a father is a baron who is loyal to the royal family, but both of these brothers are the children of the baron and the maid at home, and they don't even have the status of bastards , is a pure illegitimate child.
"Very good." Du Wei looked at the remaining thirty-two students with satisfaction: "One day in the future, you will be happy for today's choice. Here, what I need is not those who just want to climb up." Guys, what I need are those who are willing to really learn. Only such people can learn real things from me! I will also teach you the most practical skills without reservation! I promise that in the near future, Those who quit, those from other branches may be able to fiddle with beautiful magic gems in the warm laboratory, some of you can already hunt alone in the harshest frozen forest Ferocious monsters!! When those guys are still showing off their titles as magicians to the nobles, many of you can already beat them seven or eight by one! Do you understand!!
Afterwards, Du Wei suddenly pulled out his magic wand from under his robe, and then, in front of everyone, he turned around on both sides of the gate of the branch behind him, and with one end of his magic wand, wrote two lines of large characters on both sides of the door with magic. !
"Get promoted and get rich, please go the other way! Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
These two lines of words written by magic were shining on the door. The young students below looked at the two lines of words written by the head of the branch and the Duke, and everyone's eyes showed He gave a kind of passionate and excited gaze that only young people can have.
These gazes or expressions are different, but the only thing in common: they all have respect for Du Wei.
"Now!" Du Wei suddenly shouted: "I know you were soldiers before you came here. Tell me who is the leader among you!"
"It's me. Your Excellency the Duke." The tallest and burliest guy stood at the front and responded loudly: "I am the captain, my lord."
Involuntarily, he gave Du Wei a military salute according to the military etiquette: he clenched his fist and raised it flat on his chest, and beat his heart hard.
"You lead the team, everyone line up to run ten laps on the grass! Our course will not start until you finish running!"
"Run and run??" The young captain was stunned, and everyone was also stunned.
Go for a run? ? I am no stranger to these students from the military, but I haven't heard that being a magician requires training to run out of the field, right
"Is there a problem?" There was no room for negotiation in Du Wei's expression.
"We need a reasonable explanation." It was the pair of illegitimate brothers standing at the back of the crowd who spoke.
Du Wei glanced at the two little guys: "Explain? Well, this is the first time and the last time! Because you haven't walked into my door yet, I can make an exception to explain it once. But in the future, in my In the branch. It is not allowed to question the dean or the teacher!"
"Yes." The two little guys seemed to be intimidated by Du Wei's extremely oppressive eyes, and lowered their heads uneasily.
"Among you, most of you should have seen those traditional magicians?" Du Wei sneered: "Aside from the characteristics of powerful, mysterious, and eccentric, magicians give you the most important one. What is your impression? No one answered? Then let me tell you! It’s a weak body!! Weak and almost useless!! I don’t want my students to be so breathless that they can’t even speak when they are fighting. Come! Now. Go!!"
After finishing speaking, Du Wei didn't even look at these children, and then lost his face and walked into the branch.
The military captain behind him had already shouted the password, and the 30 military students followed the password and turned around to line up. Run towards the grass outside. And those two illegitimate brothers hesitated for a while, and finally made up their minds. Also ran over.
"It turns out that we can have forty students." As soon as Du Wei walked into the branch, he saw Master Ali Ke standing on the stairs, smiling at himself, and asked a question: "You just took the initiative to scare away eight students." indivual.
Du Wei nodded: "You are right, but I have always believed that quality is more important than quantity. The remaining talents are what I need.
Master Ailike smiled strangely, he tiptoed to look at the boys who were running hard in the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Du Wei, I really don't understand, are you planning to let them practice both magic and martial arts? "
"Of course not." Du Wei shook his head: "What I just said is true. The current magicians are too weak. Magicians are in contact with poisonous drugs or gems all day long, and their bodies have been greatly damaged. damage, and hiding in the room all year round for research makes most magicians weak to the extreme, no matter how powerful they are, if they can’t use them, they are equal to zero! , and even the magicians who need to be carried by the samurai to move more, are so weak that they can't even swing the walnut wand—this is definitely not a joke, but a fact."
Speaking of this, Du Wei suddenly realized that standing in front of him was a standard "traditional" magician. He quickly closed his mouth and looked at Master Arico anxiously.
Old Aili didn't show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, he seemed to sigh: "You are right. Most magicians are indeed pampered for too long. Many people have not lost their bodies, but their mental willpower It's gone."
After finishing speaking, Master Ali Ke walked to the door and carefully looked at the two lines Du Wei wrote on the door.
"Get promoted and get rich, please go the other way! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this school! Very good!"
