Chapter 196 Reunion (Second Update)
Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in Jerome's garden villa.
"Hehe, your name is Lucian Evans too?" A handsome young man with messy black hair was full of smiles in his tone, he casually wore a black vest over his white shirt, and he was not wearing a long dress or suit, "K has always said that his name is very common, I always don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be like this, I could meet it in a school. Well, I admit that Tom, Jack, etc. are very common, and there are five pairs of names in the school with exactly the same name!"
He is the second-ring magician Roque introduced by Lazar, who is good at elemental magic and mathematical basics.
Before Lucian could answer, Roque said endlessly: "I will definitely introduce you to K, how great it is to have the same name and surname! Lucian, don't worry, K is a very easy person to get along with, although he is a little silent and introverted, but he is diligent and talented, and willing to help others, as long as he asks him for advice, he will try his best to give answers, unlike some guys from the electromagnetic faction, who look like they have eyes on the top of their heads!"
"Since the last issue of the Arcane journal, Lord Brooke used magic experiments to prove that light is a special electromagnetic wave, they have been clamoring that mental power is also a wave, laughing at those of us who insist on the theory of spiritual power particles every day, and don't think about it, there are still several magic experiments that cannot be explained by waves, and Your Excellency has not responded to this!"
Lucian glanced at Lazar amusedly, thinking he was a talkative person, but compared to Roque, the gap was too far, but from Roque's words, Lucian also grasped the latest research trend of the Magic Council, so he kept smiling and listening politely.
Lazar on the side said helplessly: "Roque is like this. Hey, since the last issue of the Arcane Journal was published, magicians like me who run around still don't feel that magicians like them who have lived in Alinge for a long time and insist on the 'Theory of Spiritual Power Particles' have felt great pressure. Well, while I also like the idea that spiritual power is a particle and the proof that light is an electromagnetic wave saddens me, this blow to the church is devastating, and their theory that light is created by God is completely shattered. When I think of this, I am very happy and feel very proud and proud."
Jerome, who is better at astrology, and his beautiful wife Vera did not interject, always smiling and listening to Roque and Lazar's complaints.
Elemental magicians who studied the elements and established the concept of atoms seemed to be naturally supporters of the "Theory of Mental Power Particles", and if it weren't for the pressure from the church outside, it seemed that Rock would want to fight fiercely with those electromagnetic magicians.
By the time the discussion between the two of them stopped, Lucian and Jerome were already sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking Earl Grey tea brewed by Vera.
Jerome, who has brown hair, an ordinary appearance, and a slightly fat appearance, doesn't talk much, but his whole person naturally exudes a happy and vigorous atmosphere, and his wife Vera is a beautiful red-haired girl, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, quiet and beautiful.
"Mr. Evans, you drink tea first, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." Vera left politely.
This caused Roque to sigh: "Jerome, why can you find a good girl like Vera, and those girls around me don't know how to be a good lady?"
"Hehe." Jerome smiled proudly and a little shyly, and didn't answer.
Lazar didn't want to bring up such a "sad" topic, so he shifted to Roque: "Roque, how is the magic research project you are going to apply for?"
"What item?" Lucian asked cooperatively.
Mr. Roark replied frustratedly: "Don't mention it, it has already been rejected, and the reason for the refusal turned out to be 'Sir, please don't joke.'"
Then he mentioned with a little excitement: "Lucian, this is a great project, as a scholar of the tower, I always think that anything can be expressed in numbers, such as the power of magic, the degree of defense and weakness, etc., and what is lacking now is the problem of normalization. We need to measure the data of different magicians releasing magic, organize them into different tables, and if the disagreeing magicians want to fight in the future, just compare the data of their magic......"
"Sir, please don't joke...... This is Lucian's first reaction, it is good to try to make similar numerical descriptions, but even with a supercomputer, it is difficult to simulate the real magic release situation, after all, any change in the magician's physical and psychological state will affect the power of his own magic, not to mention that the power of some magic itself is random within a certain range.
Lucian would definitely not show this kind of reaction politely, but casually said perfunctorily: "What if some of the two magicians have strong magic and some have weak magic?"
"Yes." Roque took a stack of white paper from the table next to him with great interest and began to write, "My total mental power is 105, Lazar's is 96......"
A series of numbers were reported, which made Lazar quite dissatisfied: "Why is mine so low?" Then the two began to argue.
Jerome smiled helplessly at Lucian: "They are like this, they love to play."
"So they're good friends." Lucian thought of Lazar's previous words for "belittling" Roque, and now it seems appropriate to use it for him.
Then, Lucian and Jerome ignored Lazar and Roque and discussed the topic of astrology and elements, one of them had a deep and terrifying knowledge, and the other had a lot of practical use, and they had a very pleasant conversation, and they felt like they wished they had known each other sooner.
"Hehe, gentlemen, please enjoy dinner." Vera walked in, and behind her was a maid pushing a food truck.
Lucian and Jerome put down the white-glazed cup containing the tea, but turned around to see Lazar and Roque playing "cards" very engaged.
"I use 'magic missile', and the power is 5." Roque threw out a piece of paper.
Lazar took out another one from his hand with a serious face: "Yangyan Protection, Defense 7."
……
"What are you doing, gentlemen?" Jerome wakes them up a little curiously.
Roque frowned and thought for a moment: "I admit it's a failed magic research project," and then he smiled brightly, "But it's a fun card game! Uh, I need to prepare a sieve."
Lucian was immediately dumbfounded, and Roque really jumped with strange thinking.
"Ah, I smell the smell of steak and grilled fish, Vera, you are such a good girl." Roque started another topic with an unimaginable speed of thinking, "How can you like Jerome?"
Vera smiled quietly: "I think Jerome's appearance when he is focused and serious is particularly charming."
"It's really jealous. How could I not meet you!" Roque and Lazar both patted their faces gently, and Lucian was also a little envious of the couple's lovey-dovey.
After a feastful dinner, Lucian and Roque sent Lazar off and strolled back to the garden villa where they lived among the bizarre plants in the magic garden.
In the magic school, except for a married teacher like Jerome, only second-level arcanists are qualified to live alone in a garden villa, after all, there are a lot of teachers. Therefore, before sending Lazar away, Roque negotiated with the magician in exchange to live with Lucian.
Lucian originally wanted to go to the laboratory tonight to use ether and other materials to refine a potion "Hard Stone" that assists in mental stability to help him break through to level two, but the busyness of the day made him a little tired and felt that his state was not suitable for refining potions, so he prepared to go after finishing the course the next afternoon.
…………
The next day, the "Thorn Tree" class.
"Today's teacher in the 'Ancient Magic Language' class has been replaced by Mr. Evans!" Heidi looked at Leilia and Annick mysteriously.
Annick said puzzledly: "Mr. K? He is a second-level arcanist and a second-ring magician, shouldn't he only teach advanced apprenticeships?"
"I don't know, I just heard it from squad leader Grant." Heidi shook her head.
At this time, the other apprentices in the "Thorn Tree" class were also discussing with each other, and even Splint, who had always been lazy on the table and did not like to communicate with other strange apprentices, sat up, and the name evoked his memories.
The bell rang, and the apprentices suddenly fell silent and stopped talking in accordance with school rules, while Sprint and Katrina's expressions became serious, and since they were hit, they both understood the importance of hard work and hard work, and listened intently to every lesson.
After a moment of silence, Heidi and Reylia's eyes suddenly widened and they saw Lucian, wearing a black double-breasted long dress, walking in wearing a floppy hat of the same color.
"Yes, it's really Mr. Evans!" They blurted out, ignoring the small violation of school rules, their faces full of surprise, causing other apprentices to look at them curiously.
Annick grinned and scratched his pale yellow hair vigorously, unable to believe it was true.
Neither Splinter nor Katrina knew how to describe their mood at this time, probably a little happy and a little depressed, as well as inexplicable anticipation.
Lucian took off his floppy hat, put it on the table, nodded to Annick and the others, and then smiled gently at the apprentices: "I am Lucian Evans, you can also call me Mr. X, and I will be responsible for teaching everyone the 'ancient magic language' in the future."
"In my class, you can sleep, you can do magic analysis, you can be in a daze, you can not do the exercises I have sent, the only requirement is not to disturb the apprentices who are serious about studying, but in the same way, you have to pay for your choices, and if you don't pass the assessment at the end of the course, then I will definitely give you the worst evaluation and let you relearn this course. People who think they are gifted and capable can try it. and for those who usually listen carefully and practice seriously, I will convert this part of the score into the assessment results."
The apprentices listened to Lucian's speech in a daze, as if they were listening to a legendary story, such a magic teacher had never been in this strict and old-fashioned magic school, and he was allowed to sleep in his class, so he didn't have to listen!
But the result was too serious, and some magic apprentices who felt genius did not dare to try.
Then they saw Lucian take out a stack of white paper from nowhere, and said with a kind smile: "Okay, today is the first class, I need to figure out everyone's level, let's do some thorough practice."
"Ah!" Hearing the practice, Annick, Leilia, and Heidi's faces suddenly collapsed, remembering not very good memories, Mr. Evans has never changed, his smile is like the devil!
The other apprentices were completely puzzled by the painful screams of the three of them, but felt that this Mr. X was both kind and gentle, and very cool!
