In a permanent military fortification in the Magic Academy, this was originally the headquarters of the military fortress. Now it has been completely transformed into a three-story building, and the Magic Society's sign is hung on the big building downstairs.
door.
A team composed of four court magicians, two court scholars, Du Wei, Vivian, Master Alec and his two apprentices are currently analyzing all the research results obtained by the Magic Society in recent days.
Carry out reorganization.
Finally, a set of basic textbooks suitable for magic schools was compiled, including the basic theory of magic, as well as a compilation of some research results of various departments of magic, including improvements to spells, and several newly created spells.
As well as the use and transformation of some magic props, the uses of magic crystals, etc.
Du Wei read it carefully and felt that this was the most suitable entry-level textbook for beginners of magic that he had seen so far.
Among the first batch of magic students, 30% of the students were teenagers selected from the magic union. Most of these guys came from traditional magicians and had a good foundation and excellent magic talents. But these people were not there
In Du Wei's plan, these guys are loyal to the Magic Union, and their education methods are very backward.
In fact, in the early days of the establishment of the Magic Academy, the education and training methods were basically based on the traditional model.
First, the talent is tested, and then these students are divided into departments according to their talent, and then they are taught by several teachers currently in the magic academy (several magicians from the palace and the magic union).
In Du Wei's opinion, this is almost like changing the situation 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. Fixed teachers will serve as teachers for fixed subjects, and then... everything will follow the model of the school he knew in his previous life.
However, this model was rejected by the Magic Guild on the excuse of "violating tradition".
The establishment of the Magic Society has made old Chairman Yago Doug very angry. Any new suggestions that are passed now will be vigorously resisted by the Magic Union.
But it doesn't matter.
"Let the students from the Magic Guild continue their old-fashioned tradition." Du Wei said with a smile: "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 Magic Academy, the court magicians occupied seven seats, the magic union occupied seven seats, and Du Wei occupied one.
Finally, a resolution was passed: a resolution on the implementation of branch-based teaching management within the college.
The resolution was passed with eight votes in favor and seven against.
The Academy of Magic decided to establish several branches within the academy. The first branches were divided according to different departments of magic, such as the Wind Magic Branch, the Fire Magic Branch, and so on.
However, students are allowed to take elective courses in other branches while majoring in their own branch. The basic courses of all branches are open to the public, and any student is allowed to audit. And it is noted that when all colleges graduate, except for themselves
In addition to passing all major courses in your branch, you must also pass three elective courses.
After the initial talent test of the students, the branching ceremony was completed. It was obvious that fire magic, as the traditional mainstream, once again obtained the largest number of people. The dean of the fire magic branch was an eight-year-old from the magic union.
Super magician.
The Fire Branch has a total of thirty-six students. In terms of numbers, the Magic Guild has slightly regained its disadvantage as a result of this branch.
Earth magic has always been unpopular, and this time is no exception. Only four students were identified as having the talent for earth magic. The earth branch has the smallest number of students. Of course, this is only the first batch of students in the academy.
, I believe this phenomenon will be improved as the scale of the college expands in the future.
The most striking thing is that in addition to the traditional branches of magic, Master Du Wei, the youngest duke in the empire and a genius magician, also established a special branch on his own.
This branch does not teach any department of magic. But the lineup of teachers in this branch makes people take a breath!
Du Wei himself serves as the dean of the branch, and the vice-dean is the famous Archmage Alike. Also serving as teachers in the branch are two of Alike's disciples, seventh-level magicians. In addition, Weiwei
Master An.
Du Wei has even made some plans. If possible in the future, he might even bring Joanna... or even Gandalf in green robes into the academy.
Well, if Gandalf in the green robe is really brought in, I'm afraid he will have to change his identity.
The main content taught in this branch of Du Wei is some basics of magic, mainly...magic pharmacy.
Of course, the name of the college cannot be called "School of Pharmacy" because there is widespread discrimination against pharmacy in the magician circle. If it had such a name, I am afraid many people would not sign up at all.
Therefore, after Du Wei thought about it for an afternoon, he personally named the branch:
Hogwarts Branch of Witchcraft and Wizardry
The characteristic of the Hogwarts branch is that all the subjects they teach are not majors, but all electives! In other words, this branch does not have its own fixed students, all the students come from other branches.
Come here to take elective courses.
What is surprising is that in just three days after Hogwarts was officially launched, the number of students who signed up for elective courses surpassed that of the Fire Branch of the Magic Guild!
Forty!
Among them, thirty students selected by the military have all signed up for the elective courses at Hogwarts. This is mainly because Du Wei comes from the Luo Lin family and has strong appeal in the military. Du Wei is also famous and powerful.
The lineup of branch teachers is dizzying.
The other ten students belong to the royal camp. As for the thirty students belonging to the Magic Union, none of them have signed up.
It is necessary to talk about the identities of all the students of the Magic Academy. The thirty students of the military were all selected from the army and selected thirty soldiers who were only 18 years old. They were all accepted in the army.
After passing some magic talent tests, he stood out from tens of thousands of people. And most of the students selected by the royal family were like this. They were selected from some noble families or young people who had no inheritance rights. These guys did not inherit the family land.
Maybe, and willing to choose the path of a magician as my hope for future development.
After all, if the child of a true noble has the opportunity to inherit a huge family, no one would want to become a weird magician.
Most of these people have records of military service, and most of them even have considerable martial arts skills. After all, martial arts practice is very strong on the mainland. 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 very talented and have received military training. They are very disciplined, and these people are extremely united in the academy. Even before the military sent them in, they had already conducted
A military organization, with captains, leaders, and discipline.
In Du Wei's view, these thirty people in the military are the most worthy group for him to win over. They have no family, and their only backing is the military. And most of them come from poor families (if they are rich and powerful, who
Would you be willing to be a top soldier?) These people pay attention to records and have great respect for themselves who come from a military family. They are also young, eighteen years old, which is the age when blood boils. They are extremely malleable, and young people are easily fooled.
Inciting passion. As long as I use a little manipulation, I can easily transfer the loyalty of these guys to myself.
On the first day of the opening of the Hogwarts branch, Du Wei did not pull everyone into the classroom and teach directly like other branches. Instead, on the first day of registration, Du Wei wore a mage robe and stood at the door of the branch.
Seeing the forty students arriving one after another, Du Wei did not let them enter the branch directly. Instead, he stood at the gate and blocked everyone's way.
"Be quiet." He looked at the forty pairs of eyes below staring at him curiously. Although Du Wei was younger than most of them (the thirty military students were all eighteen years old, and the other ten
The students come from various families loyal to the royal family. But they are all unpopular children, the youngest is only thirteen years old).
There was curiosity about him on these young faces. Du Wei looked at these young people with satisfaction: "Before you walk through this door, I, as the branch dean, have something to explain to you!
These words are not pleasant to hear, so after I finish speaking, if anyone is dissatisfied, you can leave here in shame!"
Du Wei deliberately said these few words in a slow tone, and everyone was a little at a loss.
"I know that most of you are soldiers." After Du Wei said this, the military students stood up straight consciously, "Most of you have no idea about magic at all.
I don’t know anything. Huh... we all come from poor families, or are small nobles with no inheritance rights, am I right?"
There is silence below.
"If based on your original life trajectory, your life has no hope! No hope! You may have only become ordinary soldiers, or small workers, apprentices...and some of them are noble children who have no inheritance rights. When you reach adulthood
After that, you will not get any inheritance from your family. You will live in the imperial capital and have to join the army to serve, or... simply live in some shops and become a gangster or small businessman who smells like copper!
"
"But now, the establishment of the Magic Academy 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 magic talents, and then you were sent here! Maybe
When you came in, there were many people who looked at you with envy! Yes! You must have thought that in the future you would become magicians! Become magicians that everyone respects and awes! Right? You thought that becoming magicians would make you a magician.
It is a very proud thing, very dignified, very beautiful... Those nobles will recruit you, you will become guests, and you will become a big shot that everyone flatters. Even you guys from the military will be promoted after you go back.
Get rich! Am I right?"
There was still silence, but the faces of the students from the military showed a hint of embarrassment. Du Wei said that it 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!!"
Then, the smile on Du Wei's face was very cold: "What I want to tell you is, don't expect to realize your ridiculous dream here! I will personally shatter your illusions and your ridiculous expectations!
Also, shatter your ridiculous self-esteem!! Do you understand? In my place, you will receive harsh training, you will be in danger, and you will even bleed and get injured at any time!"
Everyone's face darkened, and some had hesitant expressions on their faces.
"But!" Du Wei shouted loudly: "But, as long as you can get out of me! Get out if you are qualified, I guarantee that you will be completely different from those in other branches!!"
"I can say this very bluntly, I will not train you to be the kind of arrogant but useless magician! And I will not let you become the kind of arrogant magician who thinks he is full of knowledge but has never seen a real person in his life.
The World of Warcraft, or the empty frame of the real test! What I can teach you is the real thing! How to use magic to fight! If it is true, use your magic weapons in the most efficient way! If you use magic to defeat yourself,
Against any enemy on the ground! I will give you real things! Instead of letting you stay in the laboratory every day playing with those boring things! Your future will be on the front line, bleeding and fighting for the empire! Instead
Be those high and mighty 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 go back with shame. I will not hold you responsible. I will give you the freedom to choose."
Sure enough, within a minute, eight people quietly left among the crowd. They were all noble children selected by the royal family. They became magicians just to get rich.
All the military personnel stayed. In addition, there were two young boys. Du Wei looked at the two young boys extra. These two boys were wearing ordinary coarse clothes. Du Wei
Wei immediately remembered the student's personal information that he had already memorized by heart.
Beibei and Toca. They are a pair of biological brothers. Their father is a baron who is loyal to the royal family. However, these two brothers are the children of the baron and his maid, and they do not 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 with today's choice. What I need here are not those who only want to go up.
Climbing 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 I will teach you the most practical skills in the near future.
In the future, those who have withdrawn and those from other branches may still be playing with beautiful magic gems in warm laboratories, while some of you can already be alone in the harshest frozen forest.
Hunting ferocious monsters! While those guys are still showing off their magician titles to the nobles, many of you can already fight seven or eight of them! Do you understand!!"
Then, Du Wei suddenly pulled out his wand from under his robe, and then in front of everyone, he turned around on both sides of the branch door behind him, and used one end of the wand to write two lines of large characters on both sides of the door using magic.
!
"Please choose another way to get promoted and make a fortune! Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life or afraid of death!"
These two lines of words written by magic shone on the door. The young students below looked at the two lines of words written by the branch dean and the Duke, and everyone's eyes were filled with laughter.
He had a passionate and excited look that only young people can have.
These looks or expressions have different meanings, but the only thing they have in common is that they all have respect for Du Wei.
"Now!" Du Wei suddenly shouted: "I know you were soldiers before coming here, tell me who among you is the leader!"
"...It's me, Your Majesty the Duke." The tallest and burliest guy stood at the front and responded loudly: "I'm the captain, Your Majesty."
He couldn't help but follow military etiquette and gave Du Wei a military salute: he clenched his fists, raised them flat to his chest, and punched his heart hard.
"You lead the team and everyone lines up to run ten laps on the grass! Our course will not start until you finish running!"
"Run... run for exercise??" The young captain was stunned, and everyone was also stunned.
Running and performing exercises?? These students from the military are no strangers, but... I haven't heard that being a magician also requires running and performing exercises, right?
"Is there a problem?" Du Wei's expression showed no room for negotiation.
"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: "Explanation? Well, this is the first and last time! Because you haven't walked through my door yet, I can make an exception and explain. But in the future, in my place
In the branch, no questioning of the dean or teachers is allowed!"
"...Yes." The two little guys seemed to be frightened by Du Wei's oppressive eyes. They lowered their heads uneasily.
"Most of you have seen those traditional magicians, right?" Du Wei sneered: "In addition to being powerful, mysterious, and eccentric, magicians can give you the most important things.
What is an impression? No one answered... Then let me tell you! It's because of the weak body! The weak body is almost useless!! I don't want my students to be so weak that they can't even lift the wand when they become magicians in the future.
Move! I don’t want my students to be so out of breath that they can’t even speak without reciting a few magic spells during the battle! Now, go!”
After finishing speaking, Du Wei didn't even look at the children, and then walked into the branch with a face.
The captain of the military behind him had shouted the command. Thirty military students obeyed the command and turned around, lined up, and ran towards the grass outside. The two illegitimate brothers hesitated for a moment, and finally made up their minds.
, also ran over.
"Originally, we could have forty students." As soon as Du Wei walked into the branch, he saw Master Alec standing at the stairs. He smiled 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 Alike smiled a little weirdly. He stood on tiptoe and looked at the boys who were running hard in the distance. He smiled bitterly and said: "Du Wei, I really don't understand. Are you planning to let them cultivate both magic and martial arts? "
"Of course not." Du Wei shook his head: "What I just said is true. Today's magicians are weak. Magicians are in contact with poisonous drugs or gems all day long, and their bodies are already suffering a lot. Injury, and hiding in the room for research all year round, most magicians are extremely weak... No matter how powerful they are, if they can't use them, they are nothing! I even heard that many magicians are When they go out, they even need to be carried by the retinue of warriors... More magicians are so weak that they can't even wave their walnut wands. This is definitely not a joke. It is a fact."
Having said this, Du Wei suddenly realized that the person standing in front of him was a standard "traditional" magician. He quickly closed his mouth and looked at Master Alec uneasily.
Old Alec didn't show any dissatisfaction at all. He seemed to sigh: "What you said... is true. Most magicians have indeed been pampered for too long. Many people have not lost their physical health, but their spirit Willpower has also been destroyed."
After saying that, Master Alec walked to the door and carefully looked at the two lines of words Du Wei wrote on the door.
"Please go another way to get promoted and make a fortune! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door... Good! Very good!"
