Chapter 719 Professor Lanqi's Class

October has arrived.

When passing by the Luna Garden, a breeze blew, and the ginkgo leaves on the roadside fell with the wind, spreading a light yellow carpet of fallen leaves on the road.

Today is also the first Monday in October.

As the eight o'clock bell rang in the morning at St. Clair's Monastery, the morning classes had not yet started. Students wearing the uniforms of St. Clairius' Monastery Military School were already chatting in groups on the campus, discussing schoolwork and practical training. .

Eliot Square.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

A young and beautiful aristocratic female student ran from the empty rear and patted the blond boy in front on the back.

"What?"

The tall blond boy under the building slowly turned around and was not frightened by the silver-haired aristocratic lady.

"Starting today, our course will be replaced by a new professor."

The noble lady came closer and whispered.

The conversation between the two immediately attracted the brief glances of the students passing by.

They are located not far from the lower square of a building, in the heart of the campus of St. Clare's Abbey, next to the iconic Vinard Library and Great Hall.

This five-story giant main building is made of red bricks and gray stones. The exterior walls are dotted with holy white decorative moldings, and the simple emblem of St. Clairius Monastery is inlaid on the front triangular gable.

Below the gable are three arched doors, with the words "St. Creature Eliot House" engraved on the main entrance in the middle.

Although the vast majority of students would not be on the same course as them, it was unusual for a large monastery to recruit new professors at this time.

The highest university in the empire does not recruit ordinary professors. Those who do recruit will definitely take over complex advanced courses, and their background will definitely not be small.

"Isn't Mr. Blanc a good teacher?"

The blond boy asked.

He seemed puzzled by the school's decision.

"Professor Blanc is old. Although he can teach many courses, we can't let him be responsible for two courses starting with 4 and one starting with 5. The class schedule at the beginning of this semester is already very difficult, Principal Violet It is also promised that once Professor Blanc finds a new teacher, he will no longer have to help teach this course starting with 4. "

The noble girl spread her hands.

After all, course leaders are different from ordinary tutors. They need to coordinate the syllabus of the entire course, supervise the teaching quality, formulate unit development plans, finalize assessment models, manage teachers and teaching assistants, external liaison, etc. They need to possess management and leadership skills at the same time. ability and academic level.

You must be someone with extremely high attainments in a professional field to be able to take on the job with ease.

"In the empire today, apart from the professors who have been transferred by the imperial military, are there anyone who is qualified for this kind of subject?"

The blond boy questioned.

St. Creation's Monastery has a total of 5 levels of courses. Whichever course number starts with is the level.

Generally speaking, the first three levels correspond to normal students in the three grades.

Students can apply for graduation after completing eight Level 1 courses, eight Level 2 courses and eight Level 3 courses in three years.

As for the special advanced courses at Level 4 and Level 5, they will have higher credits and challenges. Only third-year students and students who stay in school to continue their studies after graduation will choose them.

"Now that there is a gap in the demand for talents in the Creation Empire, capable people will naturally be unearthed."

The noble girl said proudly, as if she was looking forward to seeing what kind of person the new professor was.

"Anyway, let's go to the classroom first."

She stepped forward happily.

The blond boy nodded and walked into the main building of St. Creation's Monastery with her.

The entrance hall of the Eliot Building is paved with black and white marble floor tiles and has a copper chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The entire building has a total of 121 classrooms and seminar rooms, which are mainly used for undergraduate students' magic theory research and magical engineering courses. .

Classrooms vary in size, accommodating twenty to two hundred people.

In addition to ordinary classrooms, there are also advanced case-based practical teaching rooms and the Imperial Magic Engineering Laboratory to meet the needs of different courses.

The middle floor of the Eliot Building also has a staff rest area, which not only provides a space for teachers to rest and communicate, but is also an ideal place for teachers and students to discuss academic issues. In addition to soft sofas, a complete set of coffee tables and a wall of books , as well as a printing press and coffee machine for teachers.

Another eye-catching feature is its bell tower.

The towering bell tower is inlaid with four large bells. Every time the hour is struck, the melodious bells will ring through the central area of ​​St. Crego Abbey. The terrace below the bell tower is also a good place for students to gather and take a rest during their free time.

The two walked from the terrace and passed a black-haired figure with his hands on the stone fence, looking at the campus.

"To be honest, after studying here for several years, I still get lost easily in this building."

Walking into the indoor corridor again, the noble lady sighed.

"I hope the new professor won't be late."

The blond boy couldn't find the classroom for a long time when he first came here.

This building is definitely a roadie's nightmare, so it's more of an advanced course.

Whether the new teacher is reliable can be seen from whether he arrives on time for the first class.

A top university like St. Creation's Abbey should not have professors who are insufficiently prepared and lead to panic.

It is worth mentioning that the main building of Eliot Building is also responsible for managing several major student organizations of St. Clement's Abbey, such as the St. Clement's Abbey Student Union and the St. Clement's Abbey Debate Religious Research Society. The offices of these organizations are all located in Eliot Building, and it is easy to find the wrong classroom.

Although Eliot Building has a history of nearly a hundred years, it has not stopped its pace of progress. In recent years, it has undergone many repairs and technical updates to meet the needs of modern imperial teaching.

The introduction of facilities such as interactive magic whiteboards and imperial coordination system coverage has given this ancient building new vitality.

As a plaque in the atrium on the fourth floor of Eliot said-"The way of education is to enlighten the mind, pursue the truth, and continue the glory."

Elliot Building has witnessed the nearly century-long history of St. Clement's Abbey. Every brick and tile of it is imbued with the academic atmosphere and humanistic spirit of this highest institution of learning in the southern continent.

Those who can gather here are the most promising young people in the contemporary Cremon Empire.

The two of them walked to the wide lecture hall deep in the corridor on the fourth floor without knowing it.

The sun shone in from the French windows, coating the entire classroom of hundreds of square meters with a layer of hazy gold.

The classroom was filled with the laughter of students, who greeted friends they had not seen over the weekend and chatted happily.

However.

The division of groups among students was also very obvious.

Although they were studying in the same college, the status of the students was very different.

At a glance, you can see from right to left that the students of St. Clement's Monastery were divided into three areas: the aristocratic class composed of members of the royal family, great nobles, and important ministers' families, the backbone or neutral class composed of wealthy merchants, officials, and children of remote nobles, and the popular class composed of special students and children of ordinary merchant families.

Even though they were all talented students, they could not get rid of the shackles of status and status, and unconsciously began to form cliques according to their origins and family positions.

Although the blond boy and the noble lady were qualified to join the noble side, they did not seem to want to reflect this sense of label in the classroom, and only found two seats in the middle and back with a good view.

There was still a while before the official class time.

Sitting in the classroom, you can clearly hear the conversation in the classroom.

"The new professor is leading the level 4 class directly? Is he that powerful?"

"No way, Professor Bronck is already at the age of retirement. Now he can continue to teach in St. Cremorne Monastery. On the one hand, it is because of Principal Violet's retention, and on the other hand, he does not want to get involved in the military's call."

"Maybe they really can't find anyone, so they can only force a new professor to fill the vacancy."

"I heard a little bit about the new professor..."

The noble student who spoke lowered his voice.

"Any gossip?"

"He is a poor noble transferred from the remote northwest area of ​​Niksasende, and he may have never been to the capital before."

As soon as the voice fell, a sneer of contempt sounded among the noble students.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, those remote and poor nobles who brought shame to the aristocracy have been expelled from the nobility.

As they talked, some of them couldn't help but look at the figure of a female student with long black hair on the far left side of the classroom.

In the classroom of their course, there is a typical descendant of a fallen noble.

I have to admit that she has an innate talent for magic engineering.

But she cannot change her fate of being despised by the aristocracy because she chose to classify herself as a commoner.

"Which side will the new professor lean towards?"

"It is said that he is a young genius in magic engineering. He obtained an imperial doctorate at the age of 23 and became a professor at Northwestern University of Nicksassend at the age of 25, but he was transferred here before he officially taught."

Another group of students were still whispering, and some were worried.

The position of the course leader often affects students' course selection tendencies.

In some classes, most of the students are nobles, while in other classes, most of the students are commoners.

If the professor is a noble, it will be very difficult for commoners to pass and get high scores.

The reason why Professor Bronck was liked by many students before was that Professor Bronck would not favor either the aristocracy or the people, and would not give preferential treatment or suppress students because of their background. He was very good to students.

There are very few courses that change professors in the middle, but if they do, it will be full of luck.

Just as the students were talking, the front door of the classroom was opened and light shone into the classroom.

All the students' eyes were focused on the black-haired man who walked into the classroom, and the voices gradually quieted down.

His appearance was like the morning mist floating on the calm lake at dawn, with a faint glow.

Mysterious, hazy, and clear.

His every move revealed the condescending tolerance of secular culture, and his gentle eyes only focused on his subtle movements such as closing the door, walking up to the podium, and putting down the book, and would not be affected by anyone.

Until he finally glanced at the students on the other side of the desk.

Although they hadn't started talking yet.

But after many students looked at him for the first time, they felt that he would not be a bad person.

Because his eyes, as blue as the lake, naturally carried compassion and thought, but not for himself.

Only for the creatures and sufferings he saw.

That was the look of a saint.

The professor took off his soft hat with a round top and a small brim.

This simple hat, paired with a loose coat over a gray suit vest, makes him look more calm and reserved like a scholar.

Gulp.

Many students in the classroom were stunned by his unique aura and swallowed their saliva subconsciously.

"I am Landry Wasington, the new professor of the Magic Engineering School of St. Clement's Abbey."

He introduced himself,

"Don't be too reserved, today may be more inclined to seminars or explanations of the course outline than formal lectures."

The pleasant voice instantly awakened the students from their trance, and the atmosphere in the classroom became active again.

Many students felt relaxed because of his appearance, and even began to discuss in a low voice.

The new professor with black hair and blue eyes did not care about the gradually noisy classroom, but just let the students chat freely, took off his gray long windbreaker slowly, hung it on the coat rack, and turned around again.

"Professor, what do you think of the current empire?"

A student sitting in the front row took the initiative to ask.

After simply exchanging opinions with people around them, many students agreed that the professor was more moderate and conservative, and might not be biased towards the nobles or the common people.

Although this question was very sensitive, it was undoubtedly the most concerned point for all other students, and it could find out the professor's faction and position.

"..."

Lanqi looked at the student who asked the question with a little confusion, and said nothing.

Until this atmosphere made the classroom quiet again.

"The existence of the monastery is to provide a safe haven for independent thinkers. Political topics should not be involved in the school."

He finally spoke slowly, as if he was also thinking about this question.

"We all know that the world is different now. Some people are laughing, some are crying, and most people are silent."

The same course will be studied by students of different grades.

Due to the freedom of the course arrangement of St. Clement's Monastery, students can freely arrange their required courses and elective courses, but many courses include prerequisite courses, so most students will still complete the more basic courses in the lower grades and unlock the subsequent advanced courses.

Of course, if students want to learn more difficult courses in advance, they can directly contact the professor of the course and register at the Student Service Center after obtaining permission.

Lanqi's current course is the advanced specialized magic engineering "Magic Engineering Research in the Demon World", which is suitable for outstanding students who have completed their courses in the third year or are studying for an honors bachelor's degree, as well as research students who stay in school after graduation. No matter which one, this type of class gathers the youngest magic engineering geniuses in the empire.

"So what?"

Some students couldn't help asking. They didn't quite understand the professor's words that were not related to the empire at all, but more focused on the outside of the empire.

It has to be admitted that the internal and external problems of the Krei Empire are closely related and mutually causal.

But his pattern and what he sees seem to be completely different from theirs.

"The messenger who stole the fire for mankind is the embodiment of light, or the embodiment of the god of death."

He opened the "Magic Codex·Old Chapter" at hand and muttered to himself,

"Perhaps the moment when the southern continent really needs a balance of terror has arrived."
