Zheng Qing discovered a very interesting phenomenon - Alpha's students were either of noble blood, outstanding talents, or very rich.
Among these three conditions, there is always one that stands out.
For example, Sir Friedman has noble blood, outstanding talents, and is very rich. He belongs to a very traditional equilateral triangle, so he can compete for the title of Augustus.
In contrast, Mike King Soprano's talent was too outstanding. He was like a sharp angle that broke through the extreme value. He suddenly accumulated a huge fortune for himself. He took the wrong approach and became the winner of the Augustus competition.
The biggest winner in the battle.
Although Lin Yan's bloodline was not outstanding, his talent in making potions was outstanding, which also saved him a considerable fortune. Therefore, he had the courage to wave jade coins and purchase the Exoneration Hunting Team in his first week at the school.
Back to class.
Andrew Taylor belongs to another obtuse triangle that is different from Lin Yan. His talent is not high, but his family is very rich and his bloodline is decent, so he has got into Soprano's circle and has been hanging around in Alphaburg for the past six months.
The situation is booming, which is completely different from the embarrassment when I first entered the school.
Normally, the most important thing in the Alpha Academy is blood, but with Soprano's rise to power, and with Lin Yan and Andrew's coming to the fore, it is obvious that something very interesting is happening in that prejudiced castle.
The change.
In comparison, the stories that happened in the other three colleges seemed a bit lackluster.
The students of Jiuyou Academy are still taking exams day after day, the students of Starry Sky Academy are still wandering between the Starry Sky Rubik's Cube and the school hospital every day, and the students of Atlas, apart from chanting sutras, they have almost no other hobbies.
Already.
Zheng Qing shook his head vigorously to extinguish the fleeting thoughts in his mind - I don't know if it was a side effect of the energy potion just now, but Zheng Qing felt that his thinking was now particularly active.
"...Classmate, do you have any questions?"
On the podium, as soon as the teacher of magical biology finished speaking, Andrew Taylor stood up and asked in his hoarse and low voice: "Where is the wizard? Professor. You said before that magical creatures need to pay a price to perform magic. Then the wizard
We also have the ability to cast magic, what price do we pay?"
"wizard?"
The young teacher on the podium raised his eyebrows, as if he was happy that a classmate was talking about this topic: "This is also something I need to be reminded of."
"You must remember that wizards are wizards, and wizards are not magical creatures. We master the art of magic through learning, which is fundamentally different from the ability of magic creatures to cast magic... But you need to pay attention
What’s more, wizards do not need to pay for magic, but through our superb spell-casting skills, we have transferred these costs to other magic materials at equivalent prices.”
"For example, yellow paper, cinnabar, obsidian-carved array plates, brass talismans, the Dharma books you are using, the quills you hold in your hands, etc. They replace the wizard and carry the magic that nature has exerted on us.
Backlash."
"Of course, with the development of the times, some wizards have 'chosen' this simpler inheritance method."
"For example, vampires, werewolves, or 'warlocks', etc. Correspondingly, they need to pay the price for their choices. Vampires are allergic to sunlight and silver elements, werewolves are irritable in the moonlight, and warlocks are allergic to magic.
Weak control', spellcasting'ceiling' and other phenomena are all part of these costs..."
Teacher Gan didn't know that Andrew was a werewolf, so he seemed very casual and did not shy away from giving examples. And contrary to Zheng Qing's expectation, Andrew Taylor also showed enough respect in class, not because of the teacher's examples.
Get emotional.
This is a big difference from his style in school last year.
That night, during the chat after the lights were turned off in dormitory 403, Zheng Qing chatted with his roommates about the elective courses in the afternoon, and said a few words with emotion, "People will grow up" and "The school trained a wild wolf into a hunting dog" and so on.
But unexpectedly, the other two people - Dylan was not in the dormitory at this time due to his reverse day and night schedule - were more concerned about what the magical biology teacher said.
"Andrew's changes are indeed interesting...but I think what's more interesting is what your teacher Gan said."
Fatty Xin stroked his balls, and his voice was drowned in the long and short purring of the fat cat: "Your magical biology teacher is very particular about the words he uses - this is an orderly inheritance under a specific relationship."
"How to say?"
"Blood and wealth can be passed down, there is no need to explain this. As for talents, normally, the descendants of wizards with outstanding talents will also have similar outstanding talents... This is why there are so many fortune telling families and alchemists in the wizarding world.
Family, potion family, etc.”
The fat wizard's voice sounded in the darkness, analyzing each item. Zheng Qing seemed to be able to see him putting his hand on Tuantuan's back and counting his fingers one by one:
"...Alpha Academy selects students not so much based on 'talent', but rather based on 'shade'. So they can always get the strongest support in the wizarding world."
"That's not the case." Xiao Xiao obviously disagreed with Fatty's point of view: "Alpha has just reached an era of change. Do you still remember what we discussed on the freshman plane?"
Zheng Qing rolled his eyes in the darkness.
Only a ghost can remember what he said in a casual chat a year ago.
Perhaps realizing that others could not remember it, Dr. Xiao Da very considerately added: "It is a discussion of tradition and change. In my opinion, tradition and change are like the two parts of a yin and yang fish, and things are always changing.
, The early stage of the change is very intense, like the sharp part of the Yin-Yang fish, and the late stage of the change becomes heavy and difficult to change, like the heavy tail behind the Yin-Yang fish.”
"The entropy value is greatest at the end of change, which is rigidity, dogma, and solidification... Then they will become newly born traditions. As time goes by, these newly born traditions will encounter new changes..."
In the darkness, a new purring sound was added to the fat cat's purring, which was vague and vague. It should be Fatty Xin's voice. It seemed that he could not stand Dr. Xiao Da's boring theoretical analysis.
Zheng Qing felt that Xiao Xiao's voice became more and more distant and blurry.
At the last moment before falling asleep completely, his mind flashed to his mischievous shadow in the afternoon class, and he suddenly pulled out the last chaotic, firm, and clear thought from the darkness - Momonosuke can survive
