A few days passed by in a blink of an eye.
"Thank you very much for coming to our opening ceremony." Standing on the podium in the auditorium, Benjamin took a deep breath, glanced around the audience, and slowly spoke under the amplification magic of several mages.
In the audience, except for the two thousand students who were sitting upright in their seats. Celebrities from Carrites and Ikol, wealthy businessmen, well-known mages from various places, representatives of the mercenary association... Benjamin invited as many of the most reputable people on the continent as possible. At this moment, at least half of them appeared in the auditorium of the Magic Academy.
Although these people may be here just for a casual look, their presence can be regarded as establishing the academy's position in this continent to a certain extent.
Therefore, Benjamin was still very excited.
"To many people, today will be a very meaningful day." He continued, "The first magic teaching place for all people, the first attempt to popularize magic. Thanks to the funding of everyone present, many possibilities Only those who have been buried for a lifetime have embarked on the path of magic again. It can be said that you have changed their lives."
Hearing this, the students in the audience also showed excited expressions, looking at the sponsors and applauded one after another.
When the applause died down, Benjamin looked at the people in the audience, smiled, and continued: "Actually, before establishing the academy, many people asked me the same question - what is it for? Many people asked me the same question. I don’t understand why I have to put so much effort into building a college. Now, the opening ceremony is a good opportunity to let everyone understand the significance of this magic college.”
As he spoke, he took out the mage version of the Bible he had brought from the Kingdom of Hori from his arms.
"Some people may not know yet, but I come from the Kingdom of Hori, a country shrouded by the shadow of the cult. There, once a mage's identity is exposed, he will die. I know that most of you have never been to that place, and They feel that such a life is too far away from them. But the church, they never think so."
"Ecol, Freden, Carites... The church has caused enough storms in every country. The original local mages of Carites were assassinated by the church in more than four figures some time ago. This is a very tragic number, I can even give you a list. Don’t let your guard down just because the church is temporarily retreating, they are always watching us.”
In the auditorium, many people looked surprised when they heard this, looked at each other, and whispered.
"Oh my God... Thousands of mages, is this true?"
"No wonder I haven't seen Master Joseph since then. It turns out he..."
The number of deaths of this local mage in Carites was obtained from the documents that Benjamin collected after cleaning up the remnants of the church. It is absolutely true and there is no falsification.
Benjamin was also shocked at the time that the church could assassinate so many people crazily in just a few months.
And now, at the opening ceremony of the Magic Academy, he felt it was necessary to throw this fact out. He needs to warn everyone present, especially the mages - as long as the church exists for a day, they may come back at any time.
And this is exactly the meaning of the existence of the Magic Academy.
"Perhaps, after you have heard what the church did in Carites, you will think it is cruel. But believe me, things more cruel than this are happening in the Kingdom of Hori at any time, and the church is also They are all thinking about how to make every country in the world the next 'Kingdom of Hori'."
Having said this, Benjamin paused for a moment before continuing: "Therefore, I established the Magic Academy."
"We need to eliminate the cancer of the church from this continent. As everyone knows, they always preach the same tone. Whatever they want, they just say God's will and go directly to grab it. People they don't like, I will be scolded as a depraved devil. I have had enough of this group of deceivers."
As he spoke, he patted the podium with excitement. On the side of the auditorium, Frank saw this and walked up in time.
Benjamin took a deep breath, led Frank to the front of the stage, and continued: "I will now show everyone what the church calls the 'will of the holy light'."
Along with his words, Frank spoke an incantation. The magic wave spread and the light elements condensed... After a while, a fist-sized holy light bullet appeared in the auditorium.
Looking at the holy light bomb, many people looked surprised.
"The so-called divine magic is actually just a kind of magic, the same mental control, the same spell casting. The so-called holy light is no different from the fire element and water element we are familiar with." Benjamin continued, "The church has always They try to force themselves up, but they are actually just a group of mages like us. Therefore, our academy will also offer courses on light magic, and I hope that all students can study seriously."
After hearing this, both students and guests couldn't help but talk about it for a while.
"The so-called Holy Light turned out to be just a lie?"
"I have long wanted to study the church's magical arts, but unfortunately the priests are too tight-lipped and the magical spells have not been spread to the outside world at all. I don't know how Master Benjamin got it..."
It may not be a secret within the church that divine arts and magic are connected, but outsiders, no one can be sure. This is probably the first time this news has been made public.
—On such an occasion that attracts great attention and has wide influence.
Benjamin was ready.
The church is already investigating them anyway, so they might as well take the initiative. Once such remarks spread, the church will definitely be offended. Benjamin even began to imagine the expression of the dead-faced bishop of Havenlight when he knew about it.
The church will definitely fight back, but what can they do across thousands of mountains and rivers
there is always a solution to a problem. In short, they are not afraid.
"Enough! You... you demons! Not only did you steal the holy light given by God to the world, but you also twisted it into the will of the devil. Your sins have surpassed the devil itself!"
However, at this moment, an unexpected voice came over.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows.
… come yet
I saw a strange figure suddenly appear at the door of the auditorium. It was a guy wrapped in a cloak. He slowly walked in from the door. It could be seen from his slightly trembling body that this man was very angry at the moment.
The audience in the auditorium turned their heads and looked at the mysterious man in shock, wondering what was going on.
Benjamin looked calm.
"If you dare to appear alone in this place, you should also know what kind of fate you will face, right?"
