Chapter 494 Opportunities Always Come to Those Who Are Prepared

At 10:58 a.m., the water magic class was packed with seats in the classroom.

The curriculum of the Incredible Magic Academy has been changed several times. At first, Jiang Qi set the interval between each class at 10 minutes according to the habit he had developed over many years of school. The first class starts at 9 a.m., and the class times are 9:00~10:00, 10:10~11:10, and 11:20~12:20.

There is lunch and break time at noon, and classes start at 2 p.m. and last until 5:20.

According to this schedule, students can attend 6 classes a day if they go to the extreme limit, with each class lasting an hour on average.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, the crystal ball divination class takes one and a half hours, Kua Kua's goblin home economics class also takes one and a half hours, and Liao Min's elf gardening class has one hour of theoretical class in the morning and one and a half hours of practical class in the afternoon.

When the teachers and students first rehearsed, they followed Jiang Qi's 10-minute break schedule.

Then the anti-humanity class schedule was unilaterally canceled by Jiang Qi on the second day.

It’s not that the students are under too much pressure to study and can’t stand the uninterrupted classes every day. The amusement park does not require each student to take a full number of classes a day. Students, like ordinary tourists, can choose the classes they like.

In the second half of the rehearsal, after Old John joined the classroom deluxe package, the History of Magic class was packed. This has happened to a student of dwarf architecture who did not have it. The main theme is a truth.

The reason for the cancellation is: If a student wants to attend two classes in a row, it will be difficult to walk to the classroom smoothly in 10 minutes.

In magic schools, there are too many temptations that can cause students to unconsciously slow down or even stop.

You are walking around and find an animal head hanging in the corridor talking/singing/swearing. You have to stop and listen, right?

The armor is chatting with other armors through the fitting mirror hanging in the corner with video calling capabilities. You have to take a look, right?

The carpet feels scratchy all over, and it picks up a corner and rolls against the wall. When you pass by, the carpet asks you for help, asking you to help scratch its fur. You have to help, right?

There are moving pictures on the walls, various small alchemical animals that randomly fly/run in the castle, and various wall clocks and pendulum clocks that must be played every hour on the hour. They are often pretended to be of poor quality and fall to the ground, waiting to pass by. The good Samaritans reassembled themselves back into the wall frame and a host of other little things not to mention.

Walking in a school like this, can you walk to the next classroom in 10 minutes?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After some thought and decision, which was not difficult, Jiang Qi adjusted the break time from 10 minutes to one hour with a stroke of his pen.

The school's course schedule has changed to 9:00~10:00, 11:00~12:00 in the morning, 2:00~3:00, 4:00~5:00 in the afternoon. The one-hour break gives visitors plenty of time to explore the castle and visit the souvenir shop.

A few courses, such as History of Magic and Crystal Ball Divination, which cannot be guaranteed to have one lesson per day, will be held at non-regular school hours.

For example, History of Magic at 3pm today.

Of course, History of Magic is for the afternoon, and most of the visitors in the school are now focusing on Principal Peggy's water magic class.

The three words water, magic, and principal are combined together, and everyone will think that the water magic class must be the trump card course of the Magic Academy and a must-visit for tourists.

At 10:59, Principal Peggy walked into the large classroom with brisk steps.

"Wow." Principal Page looked at the obviously crowded classroom and let out a heartfelt sigh. "I remember that the classroom configuration in our school was two people per desk. Why did it become shared by three people today?"

Scattered laughter came from the audience.

Principal Peggy showed a kind enough smile, stretched out her wand and tapped the classroom door lightly. The door slammed shut, and a circle of light blue water ripples overflowed from the crack of the door, just like the special effects of a fairy tale drama, causing the tourists to let out an incomprehensible "Oh——" sound.

"I didn't expect that so many visiting students would be willing to come and experience my water magic class today. It seems that everyone is looking forward to my class very much." Principal Peggy said with a smile, "In that case, let me show you some simple and easy lessons. Get started with water magic."

"Everyone, please take out your own wands and staffs. Visitors who don't have wands or staffs can borrow the novice wands on the desk in front of you."

According to Principal Peggy's instructions, the visiting students successfully found a small wooden wand placed on the middle of the desk, which was the same as chopsticks, but a little more rounded than chopsticks.

After seeing all kinds of gorgeous, exquisite and high-end wands, and suddenly everyone was asked to use small wooden sticks, the visitors were a little confused. Everyone thought that the wands from the Magic Academy were quite plain and simple. They could just pick up a tree branch outside and grind it to use as a wand.

"For magicians, especially human magicians who are not limited to certain types of magic. Wands and staffs are just a medium for casting. You can use magic wands, staffs, or even crystal balls, Magic books, all kinds of alchemical items. As long as you like it and suit you, anything is fine, even an alchemy brick."

As he spoke, Principal Peggy took out various things from his robe like magic, including various styles of wands, various styles of staffs, crystal balls of different colors, alarm clocks, magic books, quills, glasses, and stones. And a piece of red brick.

Visiting student:......

They didn't understand, but they were shocked.

Compared with alarm clocks, crystal balls, quills, glasses, stones, and bricks, small wooden sticks do not seem so unacceptable.

Principal Peggy picked up the wand: "In our definition of magic, magic elements are divided into 5 systems, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Beyond these five categories, there are more detailed divisions, such as space magic, time magic, and divination. The categories are also divided into curses and prophecies. Since I am teaching a water magic class today, I will not explain these detailed categories with you one by one."

"For most magicians, there is only one essence of magic."

Principal Peggy waved her magic wand, and a ball of water that kept gathering and scattering floated out of the small pool in the southwest corner of the classroom. The water ball seemed to be floating in the air.

"explode."

With a bang, the water polo exploded in the air, and the scattered water droplets splashed onto the faces of the students who were closer to the water polo. The water droplets were ice cold, which shocked the visiting students who were originally lucky to be sitting close to the pool and could watch the magic show up close. They were all stunned.

Everyone:? ? ?

Principal Peggy smiled apologetically: "Actually, compared to fire magic, which has more active elements, is easier to explode, and has greater explosion power, water magic is already relatively gentle."

"The water ball bomb just now is a common mistake made by most magicians who learn water magic in the early stages of learning because they cannot perfectly control the water element."

"Because novice magicians have low magic power and can control a very limited number of water balls, the power of water ball bombs is also very limited. Over time, water ball bombs have changed from a common magic mistake to a fun little game of water magic."

Everyone:? ? ?

You call this a fun little game?

"Now, let's open the textbook. Look for the visiting student's textbook on the desk. Let's turn to page 1 to see the control and use of water."

"Water is the source of all things and one of the most common magic elements. Generally speaking, areas with strong water elements usually..."

Principal Peggy began her serious teaching.

Students in the audience: Abba Abba...

sleepy.

No, this is not the magic class we want.

Where is the magic that was promised? How did it become a theory?

Twenty minutes later——

"Let's turn the book to page 8 and see the common uses of water magic."

"In addition to the extensive use of water magic in planting, a small number of practical household magic also includes water magic. Of course, these are practical magic with relatively low difficulty."

"In battle, water magic usually needs to be mixed with other magic elements to create an explosion with greater effect. In alchemy, water magic is rarely used."

"Now turn to page 9. The textbook here is relatively brief, so that everyone can understand it more clearly. I will show you some of the more common decorative water magic."

Without giving the students in the audience who had begun to doze off time to react, Principal Peggy raised her wand and muttered a few obscure spells. A water dragon jumped up from the pool, and the roar of the dragon spread throughout the audience. The whole classroom.

The long dragon, which is more than 8 meters long, is rolling in the air with extraordinary momentum. Immediately afterwards, a pure water phoenix with a light feather tail that was more than three meters long flew out of the pool and spread its wings around the water dragon.

A dragon and a phoenix were entangled and fighting in the sky above the classroom for more than a minute. Both the visiting students and the students all looked up with their mouths wide open. If it weren't for the dragons and phoenixes fighting above the classroom, which would splash a drop or two on their faces from time to time, everyone would not believe that they could see this with their own eyes.

What level of special effects is this?

Even in movies, special effects of this level are worthy of a major production.

A minute later, the dragon and phoenix returned to the pool, splashing a large amount of water. Everyone stared at the small pool blankly until it became calm and could no longer withstand any waves. It was completely impossible to see that there was a fantastic dragon and phoenix leaping out of the small pool just now. Then they came back to their senses. Come.

"Oh my God." The rat orc, who had been taking water magic classes for more than ten days, was dumbfounded and muttered, "It turns out that all the classes I took were fake."

"It turns out that my layout is too small. I have always felt that Principal Peggy's water magic class is not as exciting as Teacher Lillian's fire magic class. It turns out it's just because we don't have the funds and we don't have special effects."

"It turns out that this is the principal's position!"

These are the remarks of the students.

"so cool!"

"Mom, I saw magic!"

"Principal, I want to learn this, I want to learn this!"

"Principal, can you do it again? I didn't see it clearly just now!"

"Didn't you see clearly? Brother, your short-sightedness is a bit serious. You can't even see such a big dragon and phoenix... Oh, yes, yes, yes, I didn't see clearly either, principal. Can you do it again?"

"Come once, come once!"

The visiting students were almost crazy.

If they could have subtitles played on their heads, the subtitles would be: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, accompanied by a marmot screaming emoticon.

Of course, there are also many practical people among the visiting students. Many people waved their small wooden sticks and lit the pool just like Principal Peggy did.

Nothing happens.

Not to mention dragons and phoenixes, not even a drop of water flew.

"What you just saw is relatively difficult water magic." Principal Peggy interrupted everyone's screams and shouts, "This type of magic not only tests the magician's control and accuracy of the water element In addition, it also tests the magician’s imagination.”

"Theoretically, as long as your imagination is rich enough and your control of details is strong enough, you can use water to transform any form you want."

Principal Peggy waved her magic wand, and a simple and honest panda appeared above the pool.

"If you think the color of the water is too dull, you can add some other colors to it."

Pandas are starting to look black and white.

"Of course, if you don't like regular animals, you can also create some creatures of your own."

The water mass dispersed in the air and fell back into the pool below, stirring up a water barrier. The next second, the barrier fell, and a little rabbit with a fox-like furry tail appeared above the pool.

"Of course, this is just an ideal situation. Most of the time, the things magicians create are always ugly and weird."

The little rabbit turned into a monster.

It has bear ears, a square face, a pig belly, six legs, two tails, and a bunch of hedgehog-like spikes on its body, which makes it an insult to the eyes even if you look at it for a second.

"Under such circumstances, magicians may be attacked by their peers if they want to color their magic."

Colorful monsters.

The visiting student who was close had covered his eyes in pain.

"The above is the entire content of today's course." Looking at the masks of pain on the faces of the students in the audience, Principal Peggy nodded with satisfaction.

"What our Incredible Magic Academy attaches most importance to is the combination of theory and practice. Now, let's work in groups of two. Oops, there are a lot of students today, so let's work in groups of three."

"Have you seen the row of small pools on the west side of the classroom? There is one pool in each group. The magic elements in each pool are equal. Don't think that the one I just demonstrated is the one in the southwest corner. That pool is very useful, I only chose this pool because it is closest to me."

"There is no need to recite the incantation. Do you still remember what is written on page 2 of the textbook? Feel the rich water element in the pool with your heart, wave your magic wand, concentrate your spirit, and focus on the pool in front of you."

"When the water element feels your call, it will respond to you. Today's task for all students is to gather a water ball and maintain it for 10 seconds without exploding."

Principal Peggy said so, and the visiting students formed groups of three or three, with each group having a pool.

Ms. T stood in front of the pool with her magic wand in her hand, feeling a little silly.

How should I put it, the special effects of the machine just now are indeed wonderful, but they are just like actors in TV dramas.

Some things need special effects to make them exciting. Without special effects, they look like a fool.

Ms. T feels like she is the fool.

Ms. T hesitated.

Just when Ms. T was hesitating, the little girl with a single ponytail and a youthful face next to her had already begun to stare at the pool with plausibility, holding the wand in her hand, trembling slightly.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the little girl saying: "Give me a water balloon, give me a water balloon."

Ms. T:…

Ms. T could only sigh in her heart, it is better to be a student. The little girl next to her could tell at a glance that she was a college student. She was obedient and sensible. She had not experienced severe beatings from society. Her eyes were shining with clear stupidity. She would believe whatever she said.

Let her practice magic and she really does.

The next second, a small water ball the size of a thumb floated tremblingly from the pool.

Ms. T:?

Little girl:!

"Principal, I am..."

Before the word "gong" could be said, the water ball exploded, hitting the little girl's face and splashing half of Ms. T's face.

"Very good, stay focused and keep going." Principal Peggy nodded approvingly.

other people:!

Family, it’s true!

You can actually practice magic at the Magic Academy!

The first lucky person to eat crab appeared. The others, no matter whether they were embarrassed or not, were all staring at the pool attentively, talking about everything.

"Have a ball, have a ball."

"Have a big ball, have a big ball."

"Someone with color, please."

"Choose a colorful and cool one, preferably with glitter!"

pool:……

For the purpose of giving tourists a class experience, these pools, without exception, are all magic props handmade by Principal Peggy.

Just like the crystal ball in the crystal ball divination class, it has a 100% success rate and is effective through personal testing.

Let everyone experience the joy of being the protagonist of the world and the little magic genius.

"boom!"

"Haha, I held the ball for three seconds!"

"Snapped!"

"Haha, my ball is bigger than before!"

"Snapped!"

"Wow, it's so exciting!"

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

"..."

For a moment, the whole classroom was filled with the sound of water balloons exploding.

Magic is an explosion!

At the end of the class, a group of tourists who were too involved in playing were gathering water balloons almost non-stop, exploding, converging, and exploding again. Each one of them looked like they had just fallen into the water. They were wet from head to toe. Their hair was still dripping, and they were all wet. Walking out of the water magic class classroom.

Idle is also idle. Other tourists sweeping the floor at the entrance of the classroom were shocked to see this group of people who seemed to have just finished swimming lessons and had not had time to change clothes.

"What are you..." The enthusiastic tourists sweeping the floor looked at this group of people blankly with a broom, "What class are you taking?"

"Water magic class!" Ms. T, who was walking at the front with her long wet hair on her head, said with gleaming eyes, "It's super fun, trust me!"

Enthusiastic tourists:…

Principal Peggy reminded loudly from behind: "Students whose clothes and hair are wet can go to the souvenir shop to borrow a hair dryer to dry their hair. There are free clean towels you can borrow in the shop. Of course, there are also wizard robes and changes of clothes for sale. Try on clothes." There is also room. Hot soup is available in the auditorium at noon and in the goblin cafeteria on the third floor. Please be careful not to catch a cold."

"We understand, thank you Principal Peggy for your concern!"

"Thank you principal, let's go buy clothes now!"

"I also want to buy a wand, that's so cool. Do any of you remember what the principal just said the wand can trigger?"

"It seems to be the wall clock in the auditorium..."

“There’s also one around the corner of the botanical garden on the second floor.”

"There are many hidden mechanisms!"

"Go quickly, if you go late you won't be able to buy it!"

Tourists happily rush to the souvenir shop.

Enthusiastic tourists:…

What a strange group of people, the enthusiastic tourists thought. Some people actually come to play with water in the magic school and play with themselves like this.

Principal Peggy walked out of the classroom and found someone sweeping the floor in the corridor. She took one more look at the enthusiastic tourist, smiled at him, and turned around to leave.

What a strange tourist, Principal Peggy thought. Even Assistant Teacher Wang had come out to cheat, but there were still people who insisted on cleaning.

well.

The enthusiastic tourist sighed inwardly.

They say hard work pays off and opportunities always come to those who are prepared. The first lucky person was caught by school director Lilian and sent to the kitchen to wash dishes, and the second lucky person was given 50 yuan by Assistant Teacher Wang to calculate the Book of Changes one-on-one. Now that no one is giving up, only I am still persisting. When will I become the third lucky person?

well.

Principal Peggy sighed inwardly.

Classes now are not fun at all. They can only teach a little bit of theoretical knowledge, and it is impossible to lead students to actually learn magic. Why aren't you the boss? If you were the boss, you wouldn't have to go to class every day. You could just hire a teaching assistant to help you with class. There would also be a space magic class in the afternoon. I really didn't want to go to work.

So annoying.

Think enthusiastic tourists.

So annoying.

Principal Peggy thought.

The two looked at each other and read each other's thoughts for no apparent reason.

"This classmate." Principal Peggy felt that the visiting student who was sweeping the floor for free in front of her was really pleasing to the eye. She could invite this classmate to have tea and see the world. "Are you interested in coming to my office?"

Enthusiastic tourists:!

Finally, have you finally become the third lucky person? !

Sure enough, hard work pays off, and opportunities always come to those who are prepared. The famous quotes do not deceive me!

"Yes!" the enthusiastic tourist said loudly, "I'm particularly interested!"
