"You have to call me [Teacher] in school, Bianca Kaslana." Xia Chuanhu picked up another piece of chalk. "You dared to sleep in front of me on the second day of the new semester. You are quite brave. I didn't want to assign homework, but it seems that you deserve my special treatment."
"......Eh?"
Bianca Kaslana, who is already ten years old, shuddered when she heard this: "Brother... No, teacher, please don't, Sister Vita and I have an appointment to go online tonight..."
"Then it seems that I should assign you some homework. It's not right to play games all day long. When you go back, practice Kaslana's gun fighting skills and basic Honkai energy control applications for one hour each."
"Boom!"
Bianca banged her head against the table, and most of the other students in the classroom couldn't help laughing.
Some students poked the people around them in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Um... classmate, are the teacher and Kaslana... siblings?"
"Huh? Don't you know? Then you are an external student."
"Bianca is a member of the Kaslana family who was adopted by the teacher a few years ago. It seems that she is a descendant of the Kaslana family who was lost long ago. The teacher found her by accident and adopted her. When she was brought back to Tianming a few years ago, she caused some shock in the Kaslana family."
814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin
(Is that so?)
(No wonder Kaslana and Natsukawa don’t look alike at all.)
It may be a bit disrespectful to Bianca Kaslana to say this, but Natsukawa Tora is much better looking than Bianca Kaslana. In terms of appearance, the two do not look like a pair of siblings at all.
"Da da!"
Noticing the faint voices in the classroom, although the students had tried to keep their voices down, Xia Chuanhu, with his superhuman five senses, could naturally hear what they were talking about. He knocked on the blackboard to remind them: "Don't whisper during class. If you have any questions, raise your hand and ask - as the class monitor, you must be a good role model for everyone, Anna."
"Y-yes! I'm sorry, teacher!"
The student who was addressed by the freshman, Anna Shaniat, quickly stood up with a slightly blushing face and apologized.
"I'll be more careful in the future."
"It's okay. We're old acquaintances. Don't be too nervous in my class. The same goes for the new students who just enrolled this year. Many of them were promoted from the preparatory class. They are experienced in getting along with me. I'm not too strict with you. I'm a very easy-going person in private, so everyone should relax a little."
"is teacher!"
Seeing the smile on Xia Chuanhu's face that was exactly the same as the one on the Tianming recruitment poster, the freshmen in the class responded with their heartbeats quickening.
Only...
(Tsk, I started again...)
Bianca Kaslana pouted.
"Well, let's officially start the class. Let's start with the first chapter of the textbook. Today we will be talking about the simplest part of the Destiny Ritual - everyone, please study hard. Students who perform well will be rewarded after class."
2. Destiny Ceremony
"Oh my, this is a really wonderful lesson, Mr. Xiachuan."
After the course.
In the evening, in the conference room of the Valkyrie Training Center.
"You really have a talent for teaching. It seems that transferring you from the preparatory class to the training center to serve as a formal teacher is the right thing to do."
"You came to me all the way just to give me some meaningless compliments?"
Looking at Otto sitting on the first seat, Xia Chuanhu crossed his legs and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you can do more research on how to better fight against Honkai."
"Haha, I'm aware of this, but my current research focus is still on improving the artificial stigmata. After all, I have to cooperate with your theory of techniques that is updated every day and every second. As its important pillar, artificial stigmata are of utmost importance."
Otto smiled slightly: "However, even though five years have passed in the blink of an eye, I am still amazed at the fact that you were able to successfully reproduce your [Magic] with Honkai energy."
Recreate magic with Honkai energy.
This was an idea that Xiachuan Hu came up with accidentally a few years ago when he was playing games with Bianca and Vita. After all, the essence of "magic" is to use the techniques that have been engraved on the magic base according to one's own ideas through chanting and specific gestures, combined with the injection of magic power.
To use an analogy, [Magic Base] is home appliances, [Magic] is the various effects and functions of home appliances, [Magic Power] is electricity, and [Chant] is the specific method.
In the Type-Moon world, using magic power to trigger magic is a matter of course. No magician has ever tried to use magic without magic power, including Xiachuan Hu himself. It can be regarded as an inherent cognition that one already has before learning magic.
Just like people will not doubt that they need to eat.
Originally, Xia Chuanhu had no intention of thinking about this idea seriously, but not long after that, Otto came up with a research result called [Artificial Stigmata].
According to him, it was another kind of stigmata that he developed by himself after studying the remains of the Second Herrscher and the stigmata of the Kaslana and Shaniyat families. Compared with the special stigmata that were passed down from generation to generation in the Kaslana and Shaniyat families, this artificial stigmata did not have too many special features, but the advantage was that it could be transplanted on a large scale through surgery to mass-produce Valkyries with high Honkai resistance.
This greatly lowers the threshold to becoming a Valkyrie.
You have to know that before, one of the conditions for becoming a Valkyrie was to be born with a certain degree of resistance to Honkai energy. Even so, if you don't wear a uniform specially made by Destiny that has special protection against Honkai energy, you will still be eroded by Honkai energy.
But now, even an ordinary person who has no resistance to Honkai energy can become a reserve Valkyrie as long as he has an artificial stigma implanted. After rigorous training, he can also become a formal Valkyrie.
For Tianming, which has always been short of manpower, this is undoubtedly a blessing!
When Otto took the artificial stigmata to Xia Chuanhu and asked him if he had any further suggestions for improvement, Xia Chuanhu thought of the idea above that he had treated as a joke.
Then......
"It's nothing big. It's just that I built something from scratch by myself, something that took thousands or even tens of thousands of years for the predecessors to complete."
For magic, the most important thing is the [magic foundation].
It is a system that records all magic, constructed by countless magicians and even gods from ancient times to the present, and engraved in the world. Even Xiachuanhu, when using magic from other systems, will also use the magic base. Although he can now use magic without the magic base by consuming his own magic power, it is a miracle that only lasts for that one time, and every time he uses it, he starts from scratch.
If one wants to spread magic in this collapsed world that is different from the Type-Moon world, the magic base is a difficulty that cannot be avoided in any way.
However, this difficulty was easily overcome by Xiachuan Hu with his own idea that was enough to be regarded as delusion by the idiots in the Clock Tower.
He cut down on many unnecessary magics, grouped together only a very small number of basic and entry-level magics, and wrote them into books to spread them within the Tianming area, thus establishing an ultra-small magic base.
After all, it is not difficult to establish a magic base. Back then, there was a student under Xiachuan Hu and Weber who would temporarily build a magic base that would only be effective for a short period of time every time he used magic, and then use special magic that could only be used once each time.
Xia Chuanhu just copied his student's method.
After the magic base is spread, the stability of the magic base will be greatly improved. At present, even though it has only been two years since the actual spread, the existence of the magic base within Tianming has been quite stable, and even if there are omissions, Xia Chuanhu can make up for it immediately.
As for how to use the entry-level magic engraved on the magic base, this is actually the easiest problem to solve - just replace the concept.
The [magic power] and [magic circuits] that a magician must use when performing magic are replaced by [artificial stigmata] and [Honkai energy]. At the same time, the existing magic formulas are modified so that they can be used through artificial stigmata and Honkai energy.
This was not a difficult task for Xiachuan Hu, who had spent 90% of his long life studying magic and had received generous instruction from several top magicians.
Finally, until two years ago, in the winter of 2008, combined with the artificial stigmata that Otto had improved to better utilize and circulate Honkai energy, Natsukawa Tora completed the foundation of this world's [magic] - which he named [Destiny Ritual].
Therefore, Otto specially approved a classroom for him to teach the Art of Destiny. The students he is teaching now are the second batch of students to start learning the Art of Destiny.
This can be considered as the official establishment of the [El-Melloi Classroom] in this world.
"I can already foresee that under your sincere teaching, the Valkyries of Destiny will have a completely different power than before, and our fight against Honkai will enter a new stage. To be honest, I think this is a groundbreaking development that is worthy of being written into the textbooks of Destiny's modern history."
"I'm not interested. If you keep wasting my time, I'll leave first. There are still a few idle people at home waiting for me to feed them."
Xia Chuanhu never cared about fame, wealth or anything like that. Even in the world he saved, except for a very small number of people, not many people knew that he was the Holy Swordsman of the Star. He also never thought about being believed in and worshipped by others, or even having his deeds circulated or recited by people decades or hundreds of years later.
Honestly, he would feel very embarrassed about that, after all, he could really live to see the time when he becomes an ancient celebrity in history textbooks.
"Haha, well, you still don't like small talk and politeness as always."
"——Do you still remember Ryuusuke Muryota?"
3. Wuliangta Family Affairs
Wuliangta Longjie.
Xiachuan Hu did remember this name.
"He was the former director of the Saint 7308 Research Institute and the person in charge of the restoration of the Fourth God Key. He went to Anti-Entropy with me five years ago and was imprisoned in the most secure cell of Destiny after that. He was charged with [stealing the Fourth God Key] and [taking extreme personal actions against Anti-Entropy] and was sentenced to life imprisonment."
"——right?"
Otto smiled and clapped his hands. "Yes, you are absolutely right. I thought you had forgotten about him."
"After all, he is a rare madman. I still have some impression of him. He wants to lead a civilization that can't even break through the atmosphere to develop into the universe... Although the development of mankind cannot do without [idiots] like him, his idea is a bit too extreme considering the current situation of this planet."
Xia Chuanhu commented.
"What happened to him? Did he escape from prison?"
"That's not the case. Although in the situation you described, Professor Wuliangta has an alien ally, he has been under strict surveillance all the time for the past five years. I also used Yuduchen on him. Now he can be said to be in semi-permanent hibernation in the cell."
"What I want to say has to do with his daughter."
Otto suddenly changed the subject.
(Murata Ryusuke's daughter...)
"Murata Himeko?"
"That's right. According to the punishment for Ryuusuke Murata, in addition to being subject to a provisional indefinite supervision, he also incurred a huge debt. Since it is impossible for him to return to work, this debt will be repaid by his daughter, Himeko Murata. This matter was told to Himeko Murata four years ago."
"And tomorrow is the day she will take up her post at the Destiny Headquarters."
You're coming to take up your post tomorrow?
Xia Chuanhu frowned slightly: "I thought she had already started working for you, but you gave her five years?"
Otto smiled and said, "I really value talents. Muliangta Himeko studied at California Institute of Technology, which is the top institution for aerospace dynamics. Even many researchers at Tianming are graduates from there. When we contacted her, she was preparing to pursue a doctorate degree."
"Of course I could just ask her to come to Tianming to work, but from a value perspective, I would rather have Tianming have another knowledgeable doctor, so I specifically allow her to come to Tianming after getting her doctorate, and all her expenses during this period will be covered by Tianming - the price is that all these expenses will be counted as her debt."
"...You're just planning on a little girl in her twenties?"
"Hehe, if there is to be a trial, then her father should also be tried, right?"
Facing Xia Chuanhu's rolling eyes, Otto smiled without any psychological burden: "A week ago, the person in charge of connecting with Wuliangta Jizi received her contact. She said that she has obtained a doctorate degree and can come to Tianming to work and pay off her debt at any time. Although there is no detailed calculation, it is conservatively estimated that she will need to work in Tianming for 40 years."
"You're darker than I thought."
Xiachuan Hu has seen many unscrupulous businessmen. Compared with them, Otto's actions are actually quite restrained. But for Wuliangta Jizi, her future life is equivalent to being directly restricted.
If I remember correctly, Wuliangta Himeko should have been 18 years old five years ago, and she will be 23 years old this year. As for 40 years...it means that Wuliangta Himeko will continue to work in Tianming until she is 63 years old, and this is still a minimum estimate. In fact, it will definitely be more.
"The more capable you are, the more work you will do. I am looking forward to how much talent Professor Wuliangta's daughter can display and how much contribution she can make to Tianming." Otto said with a smile, "In fact, from another perspective, I have also directly prepared an extremely stable job for Wuliangta Jizi. The salary is definitely higher than any research institute in the world, and here she can be exposed to the most cutting-edge technology and theoretical concepts - in the general social questionnaire, more than 40% of students aim to work in Tianming."
Tianming is an organization that fights against the collapse, but on the surface, Tianming is a world-renowned charity organization. It has also established many institutions and companies, mainly engaged in medical research and other fields. It is one of the best choices for fresh graduates. As long as you can join an institution or company under Tianming, as long as you work step by step, you will definitely not have any pressure in life in the future.
It is true that Himeko Muliangta was burdened with a huge debt because of her father, but she also gained the favor of the Bishop of Destiny because of this. From an objective point of view, it is difficult to say whether she gained or lost.
"Oh, so what?"
Xia Chuanhu still didn't care much and responded perfunctorily.
"Why are you telling me about her?"
"Can you take charge of her affairs next?" Otto asked. "In the previous contact, Muliangta Jizi made a lot of suggestions on the debt problem. In addition to working at the institute and using her salary to repay the debt, she also hopes to repay the debt through other means, such as living in an apartment belonging to Tianming and paying rent every month to speed up the debt repayment - you can also say that she intends to convert part of the debt into rent."
Xia Chuanhu suddenly had a very familiar sense of déjà vu.
He was burdened with huge debts, had to work all year round to pay off the debts, and used part of the rent to pay off the debts... It seemed that he often did this when he was a young man studying at the Clock Tower?
But at that time, he was enrolled as an outsider and was not used to the rules of the Clock Tower. In addition, he had just started learning magic, so various incidents often occurred, such as blowing up the laboratory, sending other students to the infirmary, beating the enemy magician half into the ground... and so on.
Therefore, he owed a lot of debts during his student days. In order to clean up his mess, Kenneth often found many things for him to deal with in the name of "repaying debts".
Wuliangta Jizi's situation is really similar to his situation back then.
"...So, you mean...let her live in my house? And pay me rent?"
"After all, you were the one who sent her father to prison. And if it was you, I think it would be more helpful for Himeko Muryota to integrate into her destiny."
This is indeed the truth.
It's probably hard for Himeko Murata to say that she has any good feelings towards the organization that imprisoned her father. Plus, she had to travel across an ocean to work at Tianming, a place she was unfamiliar with. She must have been very uneasy and confused during the initial period of time.
This is also the situation that many people encounter when they go to study abroad for the first time.
If there is an acquaintance or a fellow villager, this situation can be alleviated to a considerable extent. Xia Chuanhu would not deny this situation, and from his personal point of view, he also does not want to see a girl suffer. If an uneasy Muliangta Himeko is placed in front of him, he will definitely go up to comfort and take care of her.
only......
"You're just looking for something for me to do? What's your purpose this time?"
"You worry too much. Besides, I will also prepare a reward for your trouble, and you won't suffer any loss."
"......Fine."
Staring at Otto's calm smile, Xia Chuanhu agreed without much hesitation - after all, it was just taking care of one more person. At the beginning, he had taken care of more than a dozen people in his family, and now there was only Vita, Bianca, and Himeko Muliangta, and at most Siegfried and Kiana from next door.
