I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 56 We Contain We Fail
The upstairs area is actually quite large, but there are only two bedrooms. There are some study areas as well, but they are filled with clutter.

Wallace suggested that Roland could squeeze in with him tonight, but Roland refused very bluntly.

Roland: "I don't like sleeping with men. I'd rather sleep on the sofa."

Wallace: "That's very kind of you, Roland. I was just being polite."

Roland: "."

Roland was quite content with sleeping on the sofa.

He hadn't slept in a normal bed for three months since he met his mentor. The sofa in Wallace's house was large and soft, so it would be very comfortable to sleep on.

"By the way, there's this thing you need to see."

During the chat, Hua Laishi took Roland to the small collection room and found a very old copy of "Black Abyss School Rules".

The book seemed to have been through a fire and only half was left.

"After the college was taken over, some people deliberately burned all the old school rules. This is the one I secretly snatched back. Although only half is left, the important contents are all there."

Wallace said mysteriously, "Look carefully. Before you build good relationships with the old school staff, the school rules are your survival rules!"

Roland flipped through it curiously and found that there was not a single school rule in the entire torn book - it was all about the introduction of the old school workers.

The above content is probably like this, for example, this school worker:
【Junior Worker Number: WZ-0036】

[Nickname: Ballet Ghost, Leona]

[Type: Unknown mysterious creature (non-undead, non-demon, non-magical creature)]

[Image: Beautiful ballet doll/elegant and silent dancer]

[Origin: We discovered 0036 in a strange, dead city filled with puppets. After expending 136 low-level apprentices and 28 mid-level apprentices, we found a solution to 0036 and successfully contained him—very good! The youngsters of the Black Abyss will have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor. Hehehehe.]

[Weakness: None]

[Characteristics: This creature has no concept of death or injury. Experimentation has so far failed to find a suitable method for sealing or expelling it.]

[Likely a music box, dance partner (or other ballet puppets)]

Roland slammed the book shut with a dazed look on his face. "Is this a janitor? You call this a janitor?!"

"It's okay, it's not that dangerous. We already have some understanding of it." Wallace laughed and motioned Roland to continue watching.

Roland continued to read:
[When you encounter 0036, please follow the following rules. ]

Rule One: Don't touch it, or be touched by it.

[Rule 2: When it starts dancing, don't blink, just watch.]

[Rule 0036: likes to be noticed and will always be the center of your attention.]

[Rule 0036: If 0001 meets 0035-, they will form a ballet troupe and perform as a group.]

Rule 5: (Multiple rules)

Seeing this, Roland's eyes went dark. He had thought there was only one such thing, but unexpectedly, it was a dance troupe!
Looking down, Roland discovered that the names of the other school workers at Black Abyss College were all like this:

Shepherd tree, pretty snake man, smiley bubble... what the hell is this?!
This is a janitor? This is called a janitor?!

The lunatics at Black Abyss Academy called this weird thing a school worker?!

They are not monsters, demons, or undead spirits. Instead, they are 'mysterious creatures' and 'mysterious phenomena'!

The suffering dice in the yellow-brown fern forest is a mysterious phenomenon.

Mysterious phenomena and mysterious creatures have one thing in common: they are completely illogical.

The Black Abyss Academy is like an asylum. The crazy people in the Black Abyss have taken in many things that they have not yet completely solved into the academy.

They help wizards guard the academy, like a group of immortal security guards. Every enemy who dares to invade the Black Abyss will scream, "God damn it! What the hell is this!"

They also help wizards teach and are the best 'assistants' for the apprentice-level Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, helping the Black Abyss Academy to train many remarkable masters of the dark arts.

Of course, they can also be moody and difficult to communicate with, and if you don't understand them well enough, then encountering them can lead to very bad things.

Therefore, the Black Abyss wizards created a set of school rules. The purpose of this set of rules is to tell students three things:
1. How to avoid encountering these guys;

2. How to avoid it if you encounter it;
3. If you fail to dodge, how can you increase your chances of survival as much as possible?

Other schools' rules are to teach students how to be good children. If you violate the rules, you will lose credits.

The school rules of Alexandra Black Abyss 'Arcane' Academy are to teach apprentices how to survive in the academy!
There is a sentence in the Heiyuan school rules that says this.

[Note: If you find a school worker not staying in the area they are responsible for, do not attempt to contain them. Instead, report them immediately to the professor or instructor on duty that day.]

The wizards of the Black Abyss seemed to believe that only the instructors and official wizards in the Black Abyss who were extremely familiar with the school workers could safely contain them.

Of course, when it comes to containment, unexpected events always occur. Therefore, the containment personnel sometimes receive a small lesson in Defense Against the Dark Arts from these containments.

The entire school rules can be summed up in one sentence - this is not a college, it is an asylum.

With a snap, Roland closed the school rules with a grim expression.

"Sir, I don't think I can learn much in the academy. I plan to hire a private tutor," Roland said palely. "I'll pay for it."

What a joke, who would go to such an academy!
No, this is not a college at all, this is a big asylum!

The Black Abyss apprentice wasn't really a wizard apprentice, but rather a low-level employee! A consumable used for testing!

The wizards of the Black Abyss are simply a bunch of damn lunatics and perverted psychopaths!
Wallace hurriedly comforted her with a smile on his face:

"Ah, my dear little brother Roland. The Black Abyss Academy in the past was indeed very... well, very strict with its apprentices. But the academy now is no longer the same as before."

Wallace patiently coaxed him: "The White Wizards have been stationed at the academy for a long time. The school staff have been replaced several times, and even the old school rules have been buried in the dust of history. The old school rules in your hand are the only remaining copy!"

"Think about it, if something like the 'Ballet Ghost' was still wandering around the academy, how could the White Wizards abolish the old school rules? They would definitely let every apprentice have a copy!"

"In fact, most of the school workers have disappeared. Only some demons, werewolves, vampires and undead remain in the academy. And the White Wizard is still catching them everywhere. So they dare not show up normally. Therefore, the academy is now very safe."

Roland's expression improved a lot after he heard that there were no longer so many monsters in the academy.

He asked, "So, there are still vampires or something like that hidden in the academy?"

Wallace said hurriedly, "There are very few left! Think about it, Roland. The White Wizards are very opposed to our method of training apprentices. They are also very opposed to dark creatures. If there were still so many troublemakers in the academy now, the White Wizards would have sealed it off long ago. How could they possibly send their own children to attend?"

"Anyway, I haven't heard of any rumors of things like ballet ghosts appearing in recent years."

"I'm giving you this rule book just in case. Ahem, just to give you an idea of ​​what's going on at the old academy, and to get to know these kinds of people. It never hurts to broaden your horizons, right?"

Roland finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed. If the academy was still this dangerous, everyone would have fled long ago, and Witch City wouldn't be so bustling.

While shopping today, the new generation of students from Black Abyss Academy on the street had innocent faces.

If these innocent freshmen were trained by the old-fashioned teaching system of Black Abyss Academy and experienced the trials of life and death, they would not be able to be so innocent.

They would be like Roland, full of suspicion and vigilance about everything. They were usually so suspicious that they would raise their shields when opening the door.

Wallace finally said, "Rest well, Roland. I gave you this school rules book mainly for precaution. This book will give you a certain understanding of them - they are neutral creatures after all. As long as you follow the instructions in the book and don't provoke them, then even if you encounter them, you will be fine."

Roland: "Okay."

After sending Roland away, Wallace quietly took out a new newspaper and said solemnly, "This news was from three months ago, so it should be fine."

Wallace was reading a newspaper from three months ago. In the past three months, there had been no trouble in the college, and Lilith and her group were very quiet.

"Damn Lilith! She still refuses to join the White Council. She's been hiding in the academy with other demons and undead janitors, causing trouble. Three months ago, she stole the Ballet Ghost and brought it back to the academy!"

"Luckily, the White Wizards were very capable and managed to contain 36 of the 35 Ballet Ghosts. Otherwise, we would have been in big trouble."

"Tomorrow is the day when the exchange students from Baiqi Academy will start school. The Baiqi wizards will definitely be keeping a close eye on them, so nothing should happen."
