Witch, don't be so lazy

However, Momo said that although students and faculty members die every year in Tower Academy, there have been no deaths due to persecution for many years. Most of them are accidents such as failed promotions, experimental errors, backlash from spells, and attacks in the field.

However, the problems with teaching have not been completely improved. The current system of combining large and small classes is the result of the lady's order and the enforcement of the Tower Council.

If it weren't for the pressure from above and the constraints of the contract, some extraordinary wizards might not want to teach students at all, and would be even less willing to pass on their spells and research results, especially to outsiders who are not descendants. After all, not everyone is as generous as the great hero Sutur.

Of course, most of those who are willing to teach at the Tower Academy are willing to pass on magic and share their achievements, at least those that are not the most secret will be taught, although they are also very cautious. After all, it is too easy to leak information - just like scientific research information cannot be told to others casually. It would be too dangerous if someone with ulterior motives deduced their own achievements, copied their homework, or deliberately set up a trap based on their weaknesses.

Anke flipped through the courses line by line and felt that everything was interesting.

The rhythm feels very interesting. It has both the vibration magic of the celestial school and the mental spells of the chaos school. You can even learn dragon roars. Cool.

The carving and sculpting feels very interesting, involving both the shaping magic of the School of Earth and the content of runes, as well as the making of some golems and puppets.

Flying classes are also very popular. After learning them, you can fly freely in the sky. They mainly involve the astronomical school and the natural school, as well as some teaching on driving alchemical equipment.

Even Social and Etiquette saw Encore's enthusiasm. It was obvious that this was a course that focused on insight and mental mantras, and was also a very popular one.

Because everyone knows the importance of observation, and knows how difficult mental spells are to deal with in daily life. Even if you are not from the Chaos School, you still have to go to class, at least to learn some countermeasures.

There is no need to say much about the three major skills courses: potions, alchemy and runes. They are extremely popular and most students will take them. Even if they cannot learn them, it is worthwhile to understand some of them. At least they will not be ripped off by others when buying things.

Everything makes me itch to try, and my learning and initiative are much higher than in my previous life.

Unfortunately.

“…Ah—why are there so many restrictions? Damn it! Can’t we just quickly select them all?!”

An Ke looked at the rules and regulations listed in the Book of Wisdom and couldn't help complaining. He even rolled over on the big sofa.

no way.

Although the course is good, it is not something you can take casually.

First of all, there will be a time conflict.

Although basically each course will have several sessions with the same content in the same week, with completely staggered times to facilitate students' planning, the problem is that there are sixty-five courses.

There is only so much time in a day, and each class takes a long time. Even if you don't sleep at night and work all year round, no matter how you arrange it, if you take too many classes, there will always be overlaps.

Don’t forget that you can’t completely neglect your daily practice, as some trivial matters and social interactions will also take up time.

Also, please note that this place is different from the university in your previous life. There are almost no unnecessary classes, and there are no small classes that only last for half a semester. All the classes here last for a full year, and there are multiple classes per week.

The reason why it is one year is not to say that this time is enough to teach all the content involved. It is entirely to coincide with the annual magic qualification examination. One year is simply used as a node for a round of assessment, and those who pass can get credits.

Of course, getting credits is one thing, but whether you can enter a small class is another matter. It requires an interview and other assessments, as well as the professor's approval.

Also.

The selection of each course is conditional and students cannot choose it at will.

All conditions are set by professors, generally to prevent conflicts with content and waste of time and resources.

Students are usually required to purchase and use the knowledge crystals issued in class. Students will not be allowed to attend class as complete novices, and the teaching assistants will not teach the most basic content.

There may also be some additional restrictions.

Let’s take the cooking class “Nightmare’s Delicacies” as an example. Only flesh and blood creatures can choose it, while students with elemental life and soul forms cannot.

If they are really interested, they can find a way themselves, such as building a good relationship with the teaching assistant, giving him/her enough benefits, and asking him/her to teach them privately.

Or you can spend money to find some people or clubs to buy it. The content of the large class can still be bought. Usually it is the teaching assistants who sell it on behalf of others, but they are usually photo stones and recordings. There is no actual hands-on operation and guidance, so you can't feel the changes in magic, and you can't get credits.

Some classes require students to master enough spells. For example, if you want to take classes centered around the School of the Fiery Sun, you must at least master one low-level spell, otherwise you won't be allowed in.

Some conditions are very strange. For example, in the astrology class, a map of the North is given, which is divided into hundreds of areas. Each area is given a time period. Only those who are born at that location during that time can attend the class.

Those whose birthplaces are outside the North will be eliminated directly. If you are not sure about your birth time, you can try to apply, but a fee of 200 gold coins will be deducted, which is completely unreasonable.

······

"Aside from the two required first-year courses, 'Spiritual Ecology and Exploration' and 'Meditation Research,' if I were to take five specialized courses, I'd probably only have an average of ten hours of personal time per day, including sleep."

Anko frowned.

According to the quest issued by the Almighty—[Complete at least six professional courses and receive an "Excellent" grade within the first academic year—a magic book will be awarded.]

What is mentioned here is "professional", while "spiritual ecology and exploration" and "meditation research" are "big categories" and do not belong to majors.

Tsk.

It is not as easy as I imagined. If I have to choose six courses, then according to the average course time, I may only have eight hours of personal time per day.

Although my sleep time has been reduced to just over an hour as my life energy has increased, the remaining time is still very tight for meditation, practicing skills, and possibly dealing with some trivial matters.

And this is almost all year round.

There are no winter or summer vacations in the Tower Academy. Except for the three-day holiday for "Tower Building Day" and "Starry Sky Day", there are no holidays for the common holidays in the North, such as "Wandering Sea Anniversary", "Demon Extermination (White Walker) Day", and "Tranquility Festival". There is no weekend to speak of. Although the calendar of the old empire is fixed with the year, month, and day divided into seven days, no one has ever said that they can rest on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Never mind. Eight hours is eight hours. There should be plenty of opportunities to improve skills in some classes. Anyway, I'm different from others. With Tongbao, I don't need to rack my brains figuring out how to optimize spell casting and get stuck from time to time. I can increase my proficiency by using my skills."

Anke shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

Even if I can't use the loud spells in class, I can always use telekinesis magic, insight and perception magic, there are so many ways, no one can stop Miss Anke from improving her skills!

The current focus is on course selection.

Anke temporarily chose flying class, shadow class and alchemy class.

The focus of the flying class is the "sprint spell" and subsequent development. The importance of running fast does not need to be emphasized. As the emperor of pigeons, how can you be slow?

There's not much to say about the shadow course, except that I had to survive, and because the old guy gave me a letter of recommendation, why not use the connection?

The alchemy class was because I had received the black feather-tempered badge that symbolized cooperation in the previous assessment, and with Momo's recommendation, I even got a place in the small class. It would be a loss if I didn't go.

As for the remaining three doors, Miss Anke is still struggling.

I feel like I should take runes, I'd also like to learn potions, I'm interested in planting and herbalism, there are also frost magic, fire and light magic, earth magic is also good, wind and lightning are also OK, cooking and other natural school courses are also envious.

I feel like I will be bullied by the necromancy department. Fortunately, I have the books that came out of the Well of Silence, and "the omnipotent person should also understand the necromancy, so it's better not to go..."

Damn, I want them all.

While Anke was mumbling and struggling, a sudden message interrupted her thoughts.

Sent from Xilan.

First, a brief video.

I also walked around the house. It was a dark-toned European-style castle with two gargoyle statues on the left and right of the door. The road was paved with bright red cloth and some bat reliefs.

Well, if I didn’t know where it was, I would have thought there was a vampire living in it... Maybe Xilan just likes this tone.

After hesitating for a moment, An Ke replied, "Very cool, feels like a dark night aristocrat."

Although he is not her type, to be honest, he is doing a good job. If I praise him, I feel that Xilan will be very happy. This is a skillful social skill!

However, the other party's response was completely unexpected.

"Have you seen the forum? The arrogant Miss Encore?"

"?"

I didn't expect that the first book on the shelf would reach a million words. This is really amazing. Thank you again for your support~

love you~

Chapter 24 Forum (11000)

The communication page of the Book of Wisdom looks similar to the old forum, except that there is no smart push. In addition to the search function at the top, there are hot posts below, covering a lot of content. In addition to those related to the Tower Academy, there is also information about Pandegar, the entire North, and various forces in the southern continent.

For example, the current headlines are: "The Bauhinia Dynasty comes to an end, the Rose Dynasty and the North reach an alliance, and there is a mysterious elven princess."

Judging from the time, it has been online for two weeks and its popularity is simply unmatched. The total number of discussions has exceeded four million and seems to be increasing.

The second through fifth items all concern the Papal States—"War escalates! The Red Knights and the Lionheart Legion clash on the Valen Plains, with heavy losses on both sides." Clicking on that reveals the war in the southern continent, where the Kingdom of Fenghua loses a transcendental wizard, two holy spirits of the Church are eliminated, and the conflict finally concludes with a brief exchange between White Falcon Swordmaster Karen and Grand Inquisitor Long Deschwinn.

"Lives in utter devastation! Tusk's 'Blue King' appears to be slightly superior to the 'Saint of Hymn'." This story recounts a standoff between the Holy Choir and the Satiate War Guard at the border. The leaders of both sides engage in a tentative exchange of blows, and the lower reaches of the Tekbara River rage, flooding the land and causing devastation along the border."

"Everyone's attention! The church announced that the new saint will soon begin a preaching tour within the country. Does this prove that she has completed the temple blessing?" Anke paid attention to Wei'er's news, but unfortunately, apart from learning that some saints and saints in some churches have the custom of preaching, she didn't learn anything else.

Alas, if it weren't for the fact that communications were always being interfered with by Xiao Anri and the church seemed to be keeping a close eye on them, she would have just asked directly.

These are mostly news from the past one or two weeks, and are also reported in the news in big cities outside the college, but they are described vaguely, perhaps with a phrase like "the situation is heating up" and nothing else.

The information channels of the Tower Academy Forum are obviously more professional. Although it is only listed in one line of words on the hot search, there will be more detailed information when you click on it, and even images are provided.

Of course, all of them were peeping and taking pictures from a distance. It felt like I was eight hundred miles away. All I took were natural scenes and the aftermath of battle.

For example, in the two legendary battles between Tusk and the Papal States, it seemed that there was not even a single human figure in the image. The scene was filled with gloomy sky, strong winds, huge waves and golden holy light faintly shining through the thick black clouds, just like the doomsday scene sung in the poetic poems.

If we go down further, we will come to the things happening inside the Northern Territory. It is similar to the hot searches in the previous life. It always feels like there are more bad things than good things, both natural disasters and man-made disasters.

The former were mostly cold waves, tsunamis, fire eruptions and ground vein movements, which caused damage or even destruction to towns. The most exaggerated one was the severe earthquake in the northwest region, which affected nine towns and two or three-tier cities at once. The beast tide it set off was even more widespread, not to mention the property losses caused.

No wonder Momo left in a hurry as soon as she arrived at Pandgar. She probably wanted to go there to help. After all, ordinary fourth-level mages might not be as good as her at dealing with earth vein problems.

Man-made disasters are easier to understand.

One part is due to errors in spiritual exploration or experiments, which lead to loss of consciousness, explosions, large-scale erosion and other consequences, resulting in numerous casualties; the other part is due to dark wizards and evil organizations causing trouble, such as Shell City and Asda City, but the ending may not be so good.

For example, in the city of Xuenuan further north, which was clearly a large city with a fourth-level resident, a purgatory fire demon and an activated active volcano turned the snowfield into a sea of ​​fire. Although the volcano was eventually quelled, the fire demon only escaped back to the abyss with injuries, leaving behind a scorched earth. The relevant casualties were not even announced.

There are also the Calamity Cult and the Abyss forces, who have been committed to blocking ships and shipping routes between the North and the South Continent for decades, forcing Black Rock City to vigorously develop airship trade. Moreover, they try to cause tsunamis and typhoons to attack coastal areas every once in a while, resulting in slow progress in the development of the ocean in the North, which is very disgusting.

Of course, apart from the current affairs of the world and important matters of the country and the nation mentioned above, the things happening in the Tower Academy will naturally become popular because they are closer to the daily lives of teachers and students.

For example, the current hot topic -

New students, three super rising stars, the last one will definitely shock you after watching it, madly domineering

Just because of this marketing-like title, Encore fell into a long silence.

Although she hadn't seen it yet, she already had a bad feeling in her heart, mainly because she felt very embarrassed.

Taking a deep breath, thinking that worst-case scenario she could just scratch the Louvre with her toes, she forced herself to click on this post. It had only been published for a short time, but now it had become a hot topic with nearly 300,000 comments.

As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a posed photo of a handsome young man sitting on top of a stranded wreck. He has blue hair, a court dress, a Krabat-style lace scarf, a round hat with a feather, and holds a slender blade in his left and right hands.

Although he has grown a lot taller than during the exchange competition, his features and outline can reveal who he is. He is Naji Touré, the second son of the Touré family. He seems to have an unclear relationship with the Naga and is the next generation currently being promoted by the Raging Tide Legion. As early as a year ago, he was already a powerful second-level super genius. He lost to Kailai of the White Deer Clan in the exchange competition and took fourth place.

In addition to introducing his well-known deeds, the post also included a statement that seemed to be provoking him: "After a year of training, I wonder how far is Dahai's genius from reaching the third level? Can we still see the back of our champion lady?"

It’s also interesting to click into the comment section below.

There were words of support and flattery like "handsome", "boss", "the future of the Raging Tide Legion", "the Azure City will always support you", but at the same time there were also blunt insults - "Haha, you are a defeated opponent, not even worthy of fighting Miss Lorena", "Disgusting sea monster, can you please stop trying to pick on our Nabao all the time!", "Forget the Ture family, are they even a hair on the head compared to the Barrowmont family?" "If it weren't for Miss Lorena, with your grades you can only barely get third place, and then you will lose face for the entire North, so stop trying to pick on us, be grateful!"

There were also some people who seemed to have hidden meanings in their words, "You are not even at the third level, you feel worse than Lord Snow Demon, the orthodoxy of Azure can be transferred to the Broken Snow Family" - followed by a reply, "Don't make trouble, we will always follow the noble Queen of the Sea, Lady Snow Princess and the Winter Society have remembered you." Looking at the homepage, it was an answer from a snow element.

It's a mess, it's simply an absolute battlefield of public opinion.

no way.

The feud between the two witches has always been a hot topic in the North in recent years. Both sides have their own supporters and fanatical followers, ranging from ordinary people to extraordinary wizards, covering a very wide range.

On the one hand, they admire the power and wealth of gold, and say that the second place is higher than the third place. The Tower Council has personally confirmed this, so what can the sardines (a derogatory term for fans of the Sea Witch) argue about?

On the other hand, they say that gold is indeed noble, but what does it have to do with copper coins (a derogatory term for fans of the Golden Witch), and that the dignity of looking down on everything and being almost barbaric is completely inferior to the elegance and nobility of the sea, and it has not made such a great contribution as winning the War of the Wandering Sea. Do you understand the value of expanding territory?

The result is naturally that no one can convince anyone else, and the arguments will only make them more and more angry, just like an all-out fan war, where any little thing can cause a fight.

And now, it is suspected that the new generation core members of the two camps have entered the Tower Academy at the same time, and the flames surrounding them are even more intense.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the entire North who have the Book of Wisdom. Otherwise, if it were to become more popular, the number of comments would probably reach triple digits.

There was no posed photo of the second supernova, only a dark background with a red mushroom that seemed to have been photoshopped on it, the kind you can see everywhere.

There are also more texts.

The descendant of the mysterious crowned flower demon has obtained a ticket to the fairytale island. I wonder how he will make a high-profile appearance?

And as always, they are fanning the flames.

"Will the blooming of the crowned flower be comparable to the snow flower that amazed everyone three years ago? Let us look forward to it!"

As expected, the comment section below exploded. Although it was an order of magnitude less than Naji’s comment section, there were still more than 50,000 comments.

From "Haha, the descendants of the sage are also trying to scam people, are the Broken Snow Family dying?" to "When the Broken Snow Family joined the Tower, the Flower Sage also agreed. The sage was magnanimous, and we are deeply grateful. To repay his kindness, we have shed countless blood and tears without regrets. The Tower Council also recognizes it. But the real owner and the bigwigs don't care, while some guys who enjoy the grace but have no contribution anymore keep pestering them, retreating again and again, and there is no way to retreat. Who wouldn't be a little angry?"

This is a quarrel caused by past events, and some people are also quarreling with each other on a daily basis between the Department of Natural Science and the Department of Frost in the college.

"Just wait, the tower has formed an alliance with the elves who excel at the nature school. The nature school will surely develop rapidly. By then, stepping on you will be like stepping on a roadside slime!"
