Chapter 1705 Bruce Wayne and the Chamber of Secrets (Part 3)
Another fact proves that as long as your teacher is strong enough, you will be threatened by the words "sue the teacher" at all times.
Even though Strange is already a Supreme Sorcerer renowned in the universe, and even historians in the universe generally believe that his achievements are higher, Strange still has a deep fear of his teacher, the Ancient One.
But this cannot be said to be too cowardly. It is difficult to find a few people in the universe who are not afraid of the Ancient One. To say that she is notorious is a bit conservative.
Seeing the slightly curious expressions of the other people, Strange could only sigh and said, "My teacher, Ancient One, oh, her real name is 'Yao', she was born in a small village at the foot of the Himalayas about 470 years ago. That village is called Kamar-Taj."
"She accidentally came into contact with magic, and with great talent and great patience, she achieved enlightenment with almost no help, and then began her extremely brilliant life..."
In the lounge of Kamar-Taj, three children lay side by side on a big bed that occupied half of the room. Everyone was pale and dazed. Although there were magic bubbles on their heads that provided enough oxygen, their bodies were more fragile than adults and needed longer to adapt to all this.
The Indian girl called Sirila brought three cups of hot tea on a tray and placed them on the small table in the middle of the big bed. She tried to talk to the three of them in Chinese, Indian dialect and English. In the end, it was Harley, who was in the best health, who responded to her.
"Hello, you can call me Harley. Can you tell us where we are now?"
"Didn't the Supreme Sorcerer tell you in advance?" Shili pulled up the hem of her skirt, sat on the edge of the big bed next to Harley, and said, "This is Kamar-Taj School of Magic. The Supreme Sorcerer said that you are new students here and will report today. Ade was originally responsible for your reception, but he didn't expect you to end up here."
"I was responsible for helping the Supreme Sorcerer clean his study. When I saw you lying here, I was really scared, but don't worry, this situation is also This is not the first time it has happened. "
"This academy is located at a high altitude, and students also need such a high altitude environment to exercise their bodies, so no magic can help this school completely get rid of the effects of altitude sickness."
"Most freshmen will adapt to the lower altitude at the foot of the mountain for about two months. They call it 'preparatory course', and then they will go up the mountain. The Supreme Sorcerer was very hasty when he gave the instructions, and we all thought you had already studied preparatory courses."
"You said... this is a magic academy?" Little Bruce raised his head with all his strength and asked with some difficulty.
"Yes, this is Kamar-Taj School of Magic."
"You just mentioned... the Sorcerer Supreme, what's his name?"
"I don't know his name, but I know his last name is 'Strange', and he's an American, which is different from the nationality of most people here."
The three children looked at each other, and little Bruce lay back down, whispering in an almost endless dizziness: "There is also a share for Dean Strange..."
"You said that most of the people here are not Americans?"
"There are some, but after all, the school was established in Asia, and the wizards of the previous generation were mostly Asians, and their activities were also in Asia, so there are more students from various Asian countries, such as me from India."
"But you speak English very well."
"Because my family is very well-off, although I don't like to mention those old calendars, but I am a member of the upper caste, from the Kshatriya, so I can go out to study alone."
"Which other countries are there?" Harry asked casually, anyway, they can't do anything except lie dead now, they can only learn as much information as possible.
"There are many, from China, Japan, India, Singapore, and of course, Americans and Europeans, as well as many exchange students from magic organizations around the world." Sirila's voice was very soft, and the listeners were drowsy. With her gentle narration, the three children roughly understood the difference between this magic academy and Gotham Magic Academy.
First of all, this is an oriental magic academy. Although the students come from various countries, at least half of them are Asians. Because of Strange, there are also many Americans, and then there are Europeans and very rare Australians.
But this is not surprising, because this world is not the only magic academy. Most countries have their own magic organizations, some of which are tied to popular beliefs, while others are independent and live in seclusion.
Secondly, this academy does not adopt the college system, but the ordinary grade and class system. There is no distinction between majors, but there are elective courses. At present, there are eleven grades, including five years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of high school. There are also many more students than Gotham Magic Academy, and now there are more than a thousand students in total.
The dean of this school is Dean Strange, whom they met at Gotham Academy of Magic. Apparently, the title of "Sorcerer Supreme" comes from this universe.
After lying paralyzed on the bed for a while, the three of them fell asleep several times due to dizziness, and the lack of oxygen was finally relieved. They felt a little more energetic, but they were still required not to do strenuous exercise, so they could only drink tea and eat snacks around the small table in the middle of the hard big bed that looked like a kang and a tatami.
Sirira helped them peel the melon seeds, and then introduced them: "If nothing unexpected happens, you should all go to elementary school. What grade have you been in ordinary society?"
Little Bruce's suspicious character made him not completely trust the people in this school, so he deliberately shrugged and said: "That's not important. We don't like going to school very much. Maybe the magic academy will be more interesting. There shouldn't be so many annoying rules here, right?"
Sirira turned her head and looked him up and down. Her light brown eyes looked very calm. She sighed softly and said: "You'd better not have too much hope. Almost every American student who comes here will be very sad in the first few weeks. The academic pressure here is much greater than yours."
"I've heard that schools in Asia are particularly terrible." Barry shrank his neck and said: "The senior students there have to take twelve hours of classes a day. If it were me, I would go crazy . "
Silila paused for a moment, and she pursed her lips and said: "I know you may have many beautiful fantasies about the magic academy, but I'm afraid our place is not quite what you imagined."
"What do you mean specifically?"
"You'll know when you start class."
Soon, Master Song led several other wizards in. She clasped her hands together and bowed to the three children, saying: "Sorry, this is our mistake, and you have suffered, but please don't be afraid, this will not cause any harm to you, and it will be good for your cardiopulmonary function after you get used to it."
"The Supreme Wizard has already explained your situation to me. The two boys will go to the elementary school to study in the second grade, and the girl will go directly to the fourth grade. If you feel that you can bear it, or even handle it with ease, you can choose to skip a grade later."
After speaking, Master Song waved to the two wizards behind him, and they brought school uniforms, wands and necessary supplies on a tray.
The uniform of Kamar-Taj School of Magic is dark brown, like a simplified version of the sleeved dress in Hanfu, with the cuffs and trousers tight, and the belt is also tied tightly. Although it is not as luxurious and elegant as the wide-sleeved robe, it gives people a sense of competence and cleverness.
"Sorry, your wands cannot be activated now, but you will probably have your first wand-use class in three days. Now follow me, I will take you to the dormitory."
The three children followed Master Song, walked through the long suspended corridor, walked through the terrifying wooden plank road, and after being baptized by the wind and snow, they came to the second floor of the main building on the far left. Standing in the corridor, Master Song pointed to both sides and said.
"This is the male dormitory, and this is the female dormitory. They are all dormitories with four people in one room, but they are not full yet. You can choose to share a room with others or use a dormitory alone."
Then they visited the dormitory, which was very different from the dormitory of Gotham Magic Academy. Generally speaking, it was all oriental style, with wooden floors, walls and doors, Ming Dynasty furniture, and solid wood beds. Every place was cold and hard, not soft at all, but with a special elegance.
None of the three children had lived in the East, so this was very novel. They looked here and touched there. At least Harley was very satisfied with her future life, she said standing at the corner of the corridor.
"Although I know this must be another plan of those professors, this place is actually pretty good, right? And it seems that the magic here is completely different from that world."
Little Bruce stared at the stick-like magic wand in his hand thoughtfully, then he nodded and said, "I agree, we should get familiar with the situation here first, but we have to find a way back."
"Let's go back and clean up the dormitory first." Barry turned his head and looked at the sky in the blizzard outside, and then said, "Then adjust the time difference quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
Then the three of them separated. Little Bruce and Barry went to the men's dormitory together, and Harley returned to the women's dormitory alone. She chose to use a dormitory alone, mainly because she didn't know any oriental language at all, which was very rare in this school. She had to learn Chinese or Japanese first before she could communicate fluently with others.
Just when Harley was worrying about the big bed that was a bit too hard for her, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Harley walked over to open the door, and outside appeared a girl who looked much younger than her, but also white, with black hair and green eyes.
"Hello, I heard you moved next door to me, are you American too?"
"Yes, my name is Harley Quinzel, and I'm from... uh, an East Coast city." Harley thought about it, but swallowed the word Gotham, mainly because she was afraid of scaring the children.
"Hello, Helen Stark, a freshman who just enrolled this year. Because I can't speak Chinese either, I can only live alone. I think the two of us can be companions. I'm from New York."
"New York? Well, come in, do you know any way to make this bed softer? I'm sure my waist and shoulders are protesting."
Harry took Helen to the bed in her room. When Helen heard what she said, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Oh, I forgot that you are transfer students, so you shouldn't use wands yet? Let me do it."
After that, Helen pointed her finger, and a purple light flew out from her fingertips. With a "bang", a soft big mattress fell on the bed.
"Wow! So cool! Is this your magic?"
"To be precise, it's divine power. I have divine blood, but I usually tell them that this is a powerful 'wandless spellcasting'."
