Chapter 1625 No Time to Die (Fifteen)

"The dormitory conditions of the Strength Academy are the best. It is located in the main building on the west side of the courtyard. The height is suitable and there is plenty of sunlight. However, the disadvantage is that it is very far from the classroom and the practice field. You even have to cross the entire courtyard area and the large garden. I am afraid you have to get up half an hour to forty minutes earlier to avoid being late."

This time, the largest number of people burst into discussion. Many children burst into many beautiful fantasies when they heard the word "strength", but when they thought about getting up half an hour earlier than other students every day, some students who had difficulty getting up turned bitter.

Obviously, this introduction is very biased. Jim and Mrs. Shangdu were just reading the lines according to the script written by Schiller. The purpose was to make the number of people in the three colleges as balanced as possible so that no one college would be visited.

Because there are no formal classes now, the children can only choose based on their first impression and interest. If there is no guidance, it is easy for all the children to choose one college together. That will not only affect the normal teaching activities, but some children who are not very suitable for this college will definitely complain and lose interest.

After the white papers were collected, Jim was surprised to find that it was just as Schiller said, the number of children in each college was about the same, but there were certain tendencies.

For example, local children in Gotham usually prefer the Institute of Technology. They are not disgusted by words such as "underground" and "closed", but feel a sense of security. The younger children in other cities all chose the Theory College. They are curious about things like the Wizard Tower and like to live in high places.

The older children don't care much about sleep, and they hope that their dormitories are more spacious so that they can have enough space to move around, so they all choose the Strength College.

Soon, the children were taken to different dormitories according to the results of the division.

The dormitories of the Institute of Technology are located underground, and the overall structure is a multi-connected honeycomb. The six public lounges are connected to form a hexagonal ring. The corridors connecting the lounges are on both sides of the dormitories. No matter where you come out, you can quickly reach the public lounge.

The decoration style is the traditional retro style of alchemy with a touch of steampunk. There are decorative brass pipes at the joints and edges of the walls. The fireplace is a transformation of an abandoned alchemy device, filled with gear pipes and bolts. The chairs and tables are made of natural metal copper, and the overall style is brown, but the carpets and curtains are dark red, with patterns of medicine racks, test tubes and bubbles painted on them.

Just as introduced during the division, it is not humid here at all, but dry and warm. You can hear the faint noise of the engine working and the gurgling sound of the medicine being boiled, and the air is filled with the fragrance of herbs.

The circular wizard tower area where the School of Magic Theory is located floats in the sky. The six wizard towers are surrounded by a circle from low to high, and the middle is connected to the floating steps. Although it looks a bit scary, there is actually a protective air wall around it, and it will not fall down.

The children kept screaming in various ways, lying on the air wall and looking down, and then retreating dizzy. There are dormitories on the top of the six wizard towers.

The decoration style is mainly modern white, with white marble floor with light patterns. There are almost no dead corners in the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the common room. Rows of black built-in bookshelves are filled with books. There is a modernist sculpture in the center of each common room.

The interior of the dormitory pays great attention to lighting shaping. The modern ceiling emits a faint warm halo. The bedding is soft textiles with simple patterns. On the shelves on the wall, there are some strange magical plants in the dark ceramic vases of different heights.

The dormitory of the Power Academy is indeed the most luxurious. It is a Gothic decoration style common in the Gotham Manor area. The dark brown floor reflects a faint luster, and roses with gorgeous patterns spread all the way in. There are no less candlesticks, carved bookshelves and large beds covered with curtains. The bedding is mostly shiny silk.

Even if the children who come here are young ladies and young masters from wealthy families, they have hardly lived in such a distinctive environment, not to mention that there are so many friends living here with them.

Soon, they became excited, sitting on the sofa, floor, and even windowsill in the common room, discussing everything here loudly, and even forgot to pack their luggage.

Victor, who had taught elementary and middle school students before, had long anticipated this scene, and asked the professors to go to the lounges of various colleges to remind the children to pack up and change clothes before going to the dinner.

The school uniforms of the magic academy are the kind of robes commonly seen in church schools in most states in the United States. They are similar to those of British boarding schools, but there are slight differences from the school uniforms of Hogwarts.

Most Americans are more pragmatic, and they basically simplify things from Europe. So this robe is simply a black top and bottom plus a long coat. The long coat is not necessary. Except that the top is longer and covers the knees, it is not much different from the modern school uniform.

The purpose of school uniforms is actually to eliminate the differences between students, which can well prevent comparisons and appearance anxiety. Everyone wears like a black penguin, and there is nothing to compare.

Most of the children except those in Gotham knew this kind of school uniform. Even if some children who went to private schools had never worn it, they had seen it occasionally. They quickly changed their clothes and laughed at each other's bloated appearance.

It took some effort for the children in Gotham to figure out how to wear this kind of clothes. They were the least used to it because it was indeed a bit too verbose and bloated compared to their daily simple clothes.

After coming to the auditorium again, they saw the splendor of magic for the first time. It was rearranged into an extremely dreamy scene. The gorgeous long tables and chairs were floating in the air. The translucent elves held the wine and poured it into the cups. Flowers and donuts danced hand in hand, and candies lined up and jumped into their mouths.

As soon as the children reached out to the stools, they found that they were already sitting on them, and they were sitting very steadily, without any shaking, but their feet were at least two meters off the ground.

The long tables at the front of the auditorium were also floating in the air, but the people sitting on them were professors and other people. Jim knocked on the tables gently, and the scene immediately became quiet.

"Okay, kids, what did we say before? I'm going to introduce you to the deans of each college. They will guide you through all your study time. You'd better respect them enough."

The children below immediately held their breath. At their age, they have already understood the true meaning of some social classes. They know that if they want to survive in a certain group, they must try their best to please the leader.

"First, Professor Stephen Strange, he comes from another universe that is not much different from ours, but he is called the 'Supreme Sorcerer' in that universe. He commands the wizards of the entire earth and dozens of magic temples around the world. He is also the supreme leader of the magic holy land Kamar-Taj. He will be the dean of the School of Power."

After hearing this series of titles, the gasps below came one after another. Strange, wearing a local wizard's robe, stood up, nodded reservedly, and raised his glass to greet.

"This is Zatanna Zatara, the dean of the Institute of Technology. She was born in a traditional magic family and has the most noble blood. Irony magic is the most powerful magic force in the magic world. At the same time, she is also proficient in various magic crafts, including alchemy, alchemy, illusion, mental magic, etc. She can also be called a master of magic."

Zatanna stood up and nodded to all the students, but her face was a little dissatisfied, and she kept glancing at Constantine, and Constantine could only smile bitterly.

In fact, Constantine should have been the dean, because he was a master of magic, or he only knew how to learn. He was very proficient in all methods except borrowing power from demon angels.

But Constantine's family knew his own business. His leadership ability was as bad as a piece of shit. After all, you can't expect a person who sacrifices his teammates all year round to lead a good team, so the night before yesterday Constantine tried every means to persuade Zatanna to take over the job of dean.

"Finally, I would like to introduce you to Professor Schiller Rodriguez. In addition to being a professor at the School of Magic, he is also a professor at the Department of Psychology at Gotham University. Perhaps some of you have heard of his name. Yes, he is the famous psychologist Rodriguez. He will be the dean of the School of Magic Theory."

A small noise suddenly broke out below, and some students from better-off families began to tell others about Schiller's reputation.

Just as the students' interest was aroused, the introduction came to an abrupt end. Schiller stood up and raised his glass to greet them, then sat down. Jim announced the start of the meal, leaving the confused students of the School of Magic Theory looking at each other.

However, soon, the students were attracted by the rich food in front of them.

Today's main course is crispy Naples pizza, meats include herb roast chicken, steak with mashed potatoes and beans, and sweet cream sauce baked prawns, vegetables include traditional Italian roast vegetables, cream spinach dumplings, and tomato stewed chicken nuggets, soups include pumpkin soup and sweet pea soup, of course, there are fried chicken nuggets and French fries commonly seen in the United States, and desserts include donuts and non-alcoholic tiramisu cake.

There are also children from rich families among the students, but when all the dishes are floating in the air, even if they are common or even unpalatable, they will make people particularly appetizing.

In the end, everyone was full, and even many children who didn't eat breakfast almost vomited, but on the way back to the dormitory, some children from the Theoretical College couldn't help complaining.

"The deans of other colleges have so many titles, which sound impressive. Why is our dean..."

At this time, a local Gotham kid rushed up and covered his mouth, looking around in horror and said, "Oh my God! You should say less. If the professor hears it, we will all be in trouble!"

"But what I said was..."

"Who heard what?" A voice came from the common room. The local Gotham kid immediately let go of his hand, clasped his hands in front of his chest, smiled at Schiller and said, "No, it's nothing, Professor Schiller, we are just joking."

At the same time, he kept poking the foreign kid behind him with his elbow, signaling him to shut up. Although the kid was puzzled, he at least knew how to read his expression and said nothing more.

"I know you are curious about me. I don't look like a magician, but magic theory is more theoretical. When you realize the essence of magic, you will know how lucky you are to be assigned to this college."

Schiller always has extra patience with children. He did not explain his identity too much, but left space for them to explore. However, this space is not big, because soon the local children in Gotham will tell others who Schiller is.

"I came here to confirm whether you have any inconvenience in your life. Do you have any?"

"Nothing, professor, everything here is good, especially good."

"Okay, my office is on the third floor of the tallest wizard tower. If you have any questions, go there to find me, okay?"

The children stared at him with big eyes and nodded in unison. Schiller turned and left, and when he returned to the office, there was another letter on the table.

He walked to the desk and saw that the signature on the envelope was Batman. Obviously, this letter came from the Batman of the main universe, but this was already his fourth long letter this week.

Schiller looked at the more than 20 letters from the Batman of the main universe on the envelope rack and sighed softly.

Work has been too busy recently (no time to die)
