Chapter 401: The professor of magic literature talks about magic literature
The magical text class in Astronomy Class 08-1 is scheduled normally from 2:00 to 5:00 on Tuesday afternoon, but in the 14th week of the semester, the magical text class was cancelled because it happened to the next Yuan Festival.
In theory, every class in the First University is unique, and the cancelled course does not have the possibility of "resuming classes". However, Professor Monteria, who teaches magical essays, is stubborn and tough, and is very serious in applying to the professors' joint meeting for additional classes on Saturday and Sunday to make up for the teaching losses caused by the holiday.
This application was strongly resisted by the student union.
It is impossible to add classes. The whole school has never heard of the precedent that the courses brought by holidays must be made up during the holidays. The conflict between the two sides was placed on the round table of the professors' joint meeting, which made the deans of several colleges scratch their heads.
On the one hand, Professor Monteria's serious and responsible attitude is very commendable, and the relevant reasons he submitted are also very sufficient - including the fact that the school has been in the near term and the recent school activities, advanced magic arts is a very important course, and laying a solid foundation is important for the future of every young wizard, etc.
On the other hand, the student union’s defense is also very strong, that is, it is non-compliance with the rules - schools take holidays in accordance with the rules, students take holidays in accordance with the rules, and the comment on tutoring is not supported by relevant ‘rules’ such as the “First University Management Regulations”.
The old wizards at the joint meeting struggled for a long time, and finally gave a compromise plan after weighing the trade-offs, which was to cancel the "career plan" on Thursday afternoon and replace it with a magical text class.
One is a basic course in the whole school, and the other is an elective course in the whole school. It is clear at a glance which is more important.
So there was a complaint like the simple drawing of the little man behind the door, "The ghost story of letting the magic portrait work overtime."
When the professor in a black robe and thin body of the Magic Literature Class walked into the classroom, everyone lowered their heads and nervously checked their respective Magic Literature translations, for fear that the professor would call them to the blackboard to write them dictated.
The professor had a stern face, a terrifying low pressure swam all over his body, and his dark yellow skin was tense on his towering cheekbones, and he glanced around the classroom with his usual stern eyes.
Everyone held their breath like frightened quails.
Bang!
A large stack of parchment was thrown on the podium by the professor. The sound was not loud, but it scared everyone's hearts to jump a few times, and the air in the entire classroom seemed to solidify.
"I didn't plan to take up your rest time, and I didn't think about grabbing other teachers' classes."
Professor Monteria's voice was not loud, but it seemed extremely clear in the quiet classroom: "But the homework you handed in this week really disappointed me... If you follow your bad translation and writing habits, I doubt that in a few weeks, who will get a pass in the final exam!"
This is a little bit heavy.
Zheng Qing subconsciously glanced at his deskmate. Xiao Xiao looked at the podium with a serious expression, as if he was not aware that the professor's criticism included him.
"Zheng Qing!" The professor bent his fingers and knocked on the podium with no slight or heavy pressure.
The young public student suddenly withdrew his gaze and bounced from his seat as if he was shocked: "Yes, professor!"
"What do you know about the magic texts we have learned?"
This question is too big. Zheng Qing suddenly felt a little numb and grunted for a while before he answered intermittently: "Demonic text...Modern magic text...Modern standard magic text was founded according to the growth rules of Kabala tree...Demonic text is divided into main magic text and secondary magic text...Each magic text represents a phoneme, which is the pronunciation... Then each magic text has a corresponding noun, and starts or ends with the pronunciation related to the magic text...Well, the magic text is composed of straight lines that look like branches, and the 'branch' sticks out along the diagonal line up or down or curved like. Then when writing, you can write from left to right or from right to left, or flip asymmetry, etc...."
"Stop!" Professor Monteria interrupted the witch's answer and asked back: "In addition to the writing method, are there any other 'non-standard' format requirements for the magic text you have learned?"
Non-standard requirements?
Zheng Qing didn't understand it very much, so he shook his head in a daze.
Bang!
The professor slapped the stack of parchment paper and raised his voice slightly: "Since there are no other non-standard requirements, why do so many people put "cipher text" in the standard magic text homework I have required? Who told you to use the seven emotions and bitterness to refer to seven kinds of metals? Why should one snake swallow another snake to represent the process of fusion? Who taught you these writing methods full of metaphors and references!"
Hearing this, Zheng Qing immediately understood the origin of Professor's temper today.
To give an inappropriate example, the "irregular" writing method mentioned by the professor is just like students using Martian texts or facial texts in a college entrance examination essay. Young wizards seem to be a very popular way of writing. In addition to being playful and cute, they can also fully express the writer's mood.
But in the professor's opinion, this is a serious blasphemy against the standard magical text!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!
"I know, there must be many people who are chanting in their hearts that I am 'redirect', 'unresponsible', and some students also believe that standard magical texts will continue to develop with the times. The inclusion of these 'popular words' in magical text writing is a manifestation of adapting to the development of the times."
The professor pressed his hand on the lectern and grabbed the lecture notes with the other hand, and curled his anger a little, but his attitude was still stern: "I will not deny any possibility. But what I want to emphasize is that the magic text class is a standard magic text class... Just like the sentence I instilled in you in the first class - what is the magic text? The magic text is an analysis of wisdom and the consciousness of each of us. It is a complete set of effective communication methods established by wizards, and it is a 'common text' for wizards... Whether it is the ancient Rune-Luen text, or the more obscure Thebes witch text, Malachi mother text, special text, etc., every magic text contains the corresponding wizard group's understanding and development of magic."
"Why did the magical societies of the old era disappear with the development of the times? Why did the old-school wizards let their descendants enter the first university to learn modern magic theories and knowledge?"
"Because the 'secret text' represents estrangement, differences, self-realization and mutual protection, represents the loss of ancient heritage, represents narrowness, obscureness, and withdrawn!"
"The magic of a long time ago was a complete 'mystery'. The magic texts invented and used by the old wizards hiding in the wizard tower or deep in the forest implemented the mystery and agnosticism. In order to maintain their rule and authority, they deliberately used their own pictures to meet strange marks to hide spells and magic knowledge... And this is something we will never admire! The many magic experiences left by wizards a thousand years ago may never have the opportunity to interpret them; do you think that wizards a thousand years later can not understand your magic notes?"
"The first university is based on openness, inclusiveness, and mutual understanding. Even a demon, we have enough heart to accept. Even a dangerous experiment of black magic, we can tolerate... The only unacceptable thing is to rebuild the wall of knowledge and influence later generations to interpret our magic!"
"This tendency, even if it is just a sign, must be firmly stopped!"
The professor grabbed the handout's arm and waved it downwards with force, making a heavy cutting posture.
