The Truth of Magic

Chapter 323: Student background

Views:

After Zhao Xu had an exchange with the dean of the Civil Service College, he followed the other party's secretary to the class he was in charge of.

The teaching position that Zhao Xu holds this time does not involve a certain teaching itself, but is more of a "nanny" and "class guide". He has to take care of everything, or he doesn't have to take care of anything.

This teaching position at the "Civilian College" is also the only teaching position that does not have a specific schedule, so how much Zhao Xu works depends entirely on his own sense of responsibility.

Originally, he was a little surprised that players also entered the Civilian Academy.

Only after looking at the detailed class list in Dao's hand did he realize that all five players were trainee warlocks.

In addition to the eleven core basic professions, Arthur also has many expanded basic professions, such as the "Crusader", "War Blade" and "Swordsman" in the Nine Swords system.

It's just that these basic professions are not open to players to choose from at the beginning, and they can only be promoted through part-time work in the later stages or even after getting an opportunity.

However, there is also a type of auxiliary basic professions, namely "warrior", "mentor", "expert", "noble family" and "civilian". Their number in Arthur is far more than the official eleven. Great basic occupation.

Most of these auxiliary professions are much weaker than the core basic professions such as warriors and mages, and they cannot awaken the "character card" system. Therefore, they are generally only chosen by people who cannot be promoted smoothly or who do not have the money to receive training from professional associations.

The "mentor" that Zhao Xu once pretended to be is the only profession among them that can cast spells.

The mentor profession takes the path of divine magic and obtains spells through prayer and contemplation. Most people who do not have the talent of a mage or a priest, but really want to have the ability to cast spells, will choose to become a much weaker "mentor".

Most of the classes in Zhao Xu's hands are "instructor" professions, and the rest are all "warlock" professions. The course arrangement is basically to receive spellcasting expertise training and even an introduction to some basic spell knowledge.

There are thirty people in the whole class, that is, eight warlocks, including five earth players and three Arthur residents, and the other 22 people are all Arthur residents and have the "mentor" profession.

This situation is due to the special nature of the Warlock profession.

Generally speaking, a warlock's magical power comes from his own blood.

Warlocks begin to demonstrate their raw magical power during adolescence. Many times, trainee warlocks exert the power of spells inadvertently, often without control.

Therefore, trainee warlocks can often make their room filled with all kinds of strange sounds and lights, and those who don't know it think it is a haunted place.

As for Mystra, which has a developed magical civilization, among the descendants of many mage families, it is not uncommon for warlocks to appear due to their long-term exposure to magic, and even some mysterious marriages and intermarriages.

Therefore, most of the local trainee warlocks in Mystra will be trained at home and guided by some older warlocks to use this natural power.

However, since the players do not have a family, there will naturally be no guidance. At the same time, some ordinary people from ordinary backgrounds who awakened the power of warlocks inexplicably faced the same dilemma.

Therefore, Mystra set up special "classes" in the civil service academy to train these "warlocks" who had no family connections by inviting corresponding professionals.

As for the Arthur Warlocks in some remote places, it is likely that their friends and family feel feared and misunderstood by their power, and they have been relatively withdrawn since childhood.

In the "mentor" profession, there are also people who are from mage families. However, the way of acquiring spells for mentors is different from that of mages. The routes are different and there are needs. Naturally, the training can only be arranged by Mystra.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhao Xu couldn't help but glance at the "secretary" who was following him, who was also a "mentor".

"What about their previous class teacher?"

The secretary's face suddenly tightened, and he was slightly embarrassed, but he could only tell the truth, "He is still recuperating in Mystra's "Medical Hospital"."

After being treated by a priest's divine magic, even if he was on the verge of death yesterday, as long as his health points are restored to about the same level, he will immediately become more alive, and the treatment process itself will make the wound heal as before.

This is the magic of healing spells.

Unless the broken limbs require "regeneration" to be restored, most of the time, no matter how serious the injury is, a "healing" spell can solve it.

It's just that the priest's own spell slots are also limited. If ordinary people don't contribute enough, they won't be able to allocate them.

Therefore, most injuries will go to the "Medical Hospital", where doctors with the "Medical" skill level will perform diagnosis and treatment.

It sounds like it is reasonable for the other class teacher to live in the medical hospital.

But they all need to find Zhao Xu, an outsider to lead the class. Can't an ordinary treatment of minor injuries be used

As a "mentor", the female secretary next to Zhao Xu has limited spells and has even fewer spell slots every day.

But the other party can still let go of a "treating minor injuries".

"Why doesn't the other party want to teach?" Zhao Xu asked, "What's wrong with this class?"

If you don't want to work, but you can't give up the generous benefits of the job itself, then "pretending to be sick" is indeed the first choice for many people.

The female secretary did not expect that the scholar in front of her, who looked gentle and made people feel comfortable getting along with her, would notice this right away.

Thinking about it, the dean didn't disclose the matter directly just now, just because he was afraid that the scholar in front of him would retreat when he faced difficulties.

The female secretary suddenly became entangled, but the other party came to the door with this question.

She had no choice but to say in embarrassment: "Actually, the original female class teacher was pregnant and had a baby, so the scholar came to take over. It's just that the new class teacher was too scholarly and couldn't accept students not coming to class, so he went to visit home specially. Force those students to come back to class."

"As a result, after the demon kings who made the academy uneasy came back, the scholar was teased severely. Later, he felt that he could not accept this humiliation, so he stayed in the medical hospital."

"tease?"

Zhao Xu didn't understand what age it was.

Even on earth, it is rare for a whole class of students to deliberately provoke and tease the teacher. Even in a vocational health school with more chaotic management, if they just refuse to study or fight, they will not get into trouble with the teacher.

Usually this kind of thing only happens in movie and TV plots.

After the female secretary told the truth, it seemed that the rest was not so difficult to say, and then told the whole story, "Many of the students in my class are direct descendants of the Master Mystra family, but they do not have the talent to become a mage. I had no choice but to become a different kind of 'mentor' under the arrangement of my family."

"And they usually don't study. They came here under family pressure, and they also missed many regular classes. As a result, after they were forced to come to school, at the suggestion of the Earth players, the whole class started to become noisy. , and then what happened next.”

Zhao Xu didn't expect that after everything went round and round, half of it was their players' fault.

Those players had nothing to do and had nothing to do. They must have found the TV plot interesting. Then when they saw the opportunity coming, they immediately acted as helpers.

At this time, he also understood the headache of the dean.

In some remote towns, as a third-ring mage, the other party can reach the middle or even high level in the local Mage Association branch.

At a level like Falling Star Town, those with better luck and those who are younger will be qualified as vice-presidents.

It's just that in this Mystra, where there are as many nine rings as dogs, no one can afford to offend the three-ring mage.

Facing this kind of mage family where there are seven-ring, nine-ring, and even legendary mage in their family, they can't even speak forcefully.

After the female secretary finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Xu's face was calm as usual, without the slightest hint of anger or even frustration, as if she heard that there was just a small puddle in front of her and she could easily step over it.

The female secretary couldn't help but wonder why it was so strange. The scholar had obviously noticed something fishy from the beginning, but now he turned a blind eye to it.

Doesn't he know that Mystra is ruled by a goddess and a mage

Any mage family, after many years of marriage, may be involved in a certain legendary mage.

The power of the legendary mage is enough to overturn one or two ordinary towns and cities.

Zhao Xu's former class teacher made a special trip to visit him at his home. In fact, he took the opportunity to try his luck and show off his face in front of the mage family, which was equivalent to asking for fame directly. But later on, I still couldn't stand the lesson of reality, so I could only pretend to be sick and escape.

At this time, Zhao Xu was still walking forward lightly with his cane, step by step, measuring the path filled with maple trees.

He looked calm, and from time to time he would look down at the frost-red leaves on the ground, admiring the quiet and beautiful moment of autumn leaves.

The female secretary looked at Zhao Xu indifferently. Before walking upstairs, she finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhongxia, go back and prepare some gold coins and try to bribe those warlock players. Most of them don't have much money when they project here. , and he is also the only candidate you can bribe."

"With them unclogging your cheeks, the rest of your teaching career will definitely be much easier."

Zhao Xu didn't expect that this female secretary whom he met by chance could actually think about himself in this way.

But at this time, he slammed his cane on the ground, making a crisp sound with the stone brick floor, "It depends on whether my cane is hard or their background is hard?"
