Throne of Magical Arcana

"It is true that although the various basic courses in the current magic school can give apprentices a good foundation, enough to launch an impact on the official magician rank, but the arcane and magic knowledge required for low-level magicians to intermediate and high-level magicians is increasing. , complicated, and it is difficult for them to master it effectively only by self-study. This is why the number of mid-level magicians has not increased rapidly in the context of the great development of arcane arts in the past ten years, but the number of high-level magicians has increased a lot. "Brooke nodded in agreement with Douglas' proposal.

In other words, the new arcane theories and achievements did not make it much easier for low-level magicians to advance to middle-level, and the promotion ratio is still the same as before. It is much easier to absorb and learn technical theories and achievements, such as Annick, Heidi and others who have been taught by Lucien with cutting-edge knowledge.

Oliver said with a little worry: "Graduated apprentices and low-level magicians are the foundation of the council. If they all enter high-level schools, the entire council will inevitably be paralyzed."

Although high-level magicians, archmages, and legendary magicians have outstanding strength and diverse magic, it is impossible to spend their minds on small things. The daily operation of the entire council is based on the form of "posting tasks", and there are a large number of them. Graduated apprentices and low-level magicians took on 80% of the small tasks inside, making all aspects of the council orderly.

"So for the time being, it is just a high-level school with a few hundred people. We will select outstanding talents to enter through a certain selection method. After observing the effect, we will consider appropriate promotion, but it will not affect the operation of the council. After all, middle and high-level arcanists themselves are also To learn magic, study arcane arts, explore the world, and go out for adventure, if there are too many high-level schools, it must be in contradiction with their number and free time." Douglas said his plan, and he fully evaluated the number of teachers for this matter. .

"A certain selection method? Like the apprentice assessment?" Fernando was more concerned about this issue, and Helen started her own research again, but the focus became the wave-particle duality of electrons.

Lucien said with a smile: "The unified entrance examination for higher magic schools? Divided into mathematics, language, magic analysis ability, eleven major faction theory and magic practical examination?"

He purely remembered his "previous" experiences, so he casually joked.

"Uniform entrance examination for advanced magic schools? Well, this method is the fairest, at least fairer than the recommendation of middle and high-level magicians and the school's own selection." Douglas quite agrees with the format of the examination.

Under the supervision of magic, cheating is bound to be rare, and fairness and justice can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Although there are selfishness and desires where there are people, the magician who supervises the exam may be bribed, but this is something that can pass the inspection tour, etc. Loopholes avoided by various means, and relying on recommendation and self-selection, it is difficult for middle and high-level magicians and school administrators not to be inclined to those they are familiar with, admire, and related to, and arcane and magic abilities are often ranked last one.

So, Douglas nodded and said, "This is called the Unified Entrance Examination for Higher Magic Schools. The specific knowledge and practical abilities to be tested will be determined by the affairs committee."

Lucien raised his right hand, rubbed his brows, and covered his eyes by the way, thinking to himself, I was just joking... But in this way, "Evans Textbook", "Evans Exercises", "Evans 9 +3 Detailed Explanation of Theory", "Three-year preparation, two-year simulation and one-year sprint" and other things may become popular.

"It's not necessary for everyone to take the exam for the Eleven Factions, right?" Vicente asked, "Mathematics, different magic languages, magic analysis ability, elementary alchemy ability, basic understanding of soul and body, actual arcane research ability , The ability to use magic in actual combat must be tested, and then let outstanding graduate apprentices and low-level magicians choose the three major factions by themselves, after all, everyone has their own direction they are good at and the field they want to deepen in the future.”

Fernando retorted loudly: "The current trend is that the major factions are becoming more and more closely connected. The volatility of electrons and the particle nature of light have made electromagnetism and elements preliminarily integrated in the microscopic realm. In the future, if you want to In-depth research, without a sufficiently broad base of major factions, will not work."

"This can be considered after enrollment. Anyway, they will be expelled from school if they don't study well. This will give them enough 'motivation' to make up for their foundation." Oliver smiled.

"But this goes against the original purpose of running a high-level school. If their self-study effect is good, there will be no high-level magic school." Hathaway said calmly, the vibration just now has disappeared, anyway, the electrons have shown volatility, And the real world has not disintegrated, so there must be an internal reason.

For Hathaway, Lucien has always respected Hathaway, and added: "We can make some innovations in the teaching model, so that the members of the Arcane Review Committee can share the knowledge and knowledge needed for a certain faction to go deep into a certain field. List the contextual relationship between them, and announce them to the students, so that they know what they need for their own path."

"In addition, the courses of advanced schools can no longer be like apprentice schools. They can no longer be organized into classes for unified teaching, but give them a certain degree of freedom. Teachers rotate to teach at different times, and then students choose the teacher they want to listen to according to their own progress and foundation, choose the time that suits them to arrange other things, and choose the courses they need. Those who have enough time and ability can take concurrent courses Other irrelevant courses to expand knowledge.”

"This will not limit them to the previous choices, but also give full play to their subjective initiative. After all, they are not children anymore, they are outstanding apprentices who have graduated, and they are low-level magicians. Our goal is to let people with good talents After learning in a short period of time, people with ordinary talent but hard work can learn slowly in a longer period of time, so that those who are lazy and unwilling to pay attention can finally have the opportunity to launch a sprint by selecting and arranging courses."

Lucien didn't say anything about assessing them. The best answer is to be able to be promoted to intermediate magician and arcanist through further studies in advanced magic schools.

After speaking, Lucien realized that all the members of the highest jury were looking at him, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't expect you, Lucien, to be so experienced in teaching students. No wonder Katrina, Leilia, and Annick are so outstanding. Twenty-three or four-year-old middle-level arcanists and magicians are not casual It can come out." Douglas laughed.

Fernando also let out a hey: "When he was a teacher at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he was known for his novel and unique teaching style, but he was labeled as unconventional."

But now, Lucien's lecture mode is popular in all major magic schools. After all, he is already a great arcanist and "Nine-ring magician", and successful imitation is a trend that is not lacking in any society.

Douglas nodded: "This kind of independent arrangement is very good, and it also makes the release of tasks less complicated. Intermediate and high-level arcanists can choose their own lecture time and course schedule. Lucien, why don't you come and serve as an advanced magic school? Principal? Hope to establish a successful new teaching model."

Looking around at everyone, seeing that they all avoided his eyes, Lucien immediately understood that they didn't want to take on this matter at all, so he kept silent when he was talking, so he nodded and said: "I am only responsible for establishing the model, It is best to select a high-level arcanist to preside over the daily operation. This is actually much easier than being a member of the arcane review committee, and specific things can be done by hiring a mid-level arcanist like the magician management department."

After finishing speaking, Lucien silently slandered himself, the director of the Atomic Research Institute, the director of Sky Radio, the president of the University of Magic... His part-time jobs are really indescribably weird, and they all seem to be related to professors...

"Then what name should the high-level magic school use?" Douglas looked at Oliver and the others.

Lucien interjected again: "To distinguish it from ordinary magic schools, why not name it after an academy?"

"It's called Holt College." Oliver liked the name the most.

"Holt" is the ancient Yasuo pronunciation of "mystery".

Others are not interested in naming, and Lucien is too lazy to make up meanings and throw out names such as "Halworth".

After the name was determined, the topic was transferred to follow-up. Since there were no major disputes, the meeting ended quickly.

"When will Evans' experiment be announced?" In the end, Helen woke up from her obsession, and asked directly regardless of whether there was any discussion before.

Douglas said dignifiedly: "I think the "Arcane" journal should sort out and publish the debates before the meeting in the name of discussion articles. Lucien's explanation is very good, which will help them accept the wonders of the microcosm. Servi insists that the particles show volatility under special conditions, and there should not be a large-scale collapse of the cognitive world, after all, the discovery of electrons is only a few years old."

"However, people whose worldview has been overturned and have fallen into a state of confusion should spread all over the parliament. The extreme minority even have insurmountable doubts about microscopic particles, arcane and magic, and have a very unconfident attitude. This will also make them The strength stagnated."

Day is also night, and particles are also waves. Such things will make people suspect that the world is unreal and exploration will never be effective, and feel that the world is dominated by mystery!

"Well, Evans' experiment will be announced in the April issue." Helen nodded.

Klaus laughed and said, "Evans, just in time for your wedding."

Lucien rubbed the corners of his mouth, is it necessary to start with blood and brains in advance?

But this seems to have nothing to do with me, it's all caused by Dieppe's thesis! I just completed the experiment, just like no one attributed the photon hypothetical headshot wave to Brook!

Of course, Lucien believes that the number can definitely be controlled within a few, or even none. After all, the new alchemy model is still in dispute.

"I'm going back to study the wave function of electrons." Oliver left in a hurry. Although the failure of his marriage made him create a series of tragic works, it did not hinder his concentration and fanaticism in arcane research.

Brooke and others also left, and if they figure out the wave function of electrons, they may be able to completely establish the new alchemy model and truly explain the mystery of material changes.

Fernando, who left in the end, asked Lucien to follow him, and looked at him when he got to the study, "You should have initially solved the problem of the new alchemy, right?"
