Chapter 720 Lanqi's Military Experiment
The air in Eliot Hall was filled with the unique scent of ink, parchment, and ancient books.
"There are three lectures a week, each lasting two hours. I personally don't like attendance points, nor do I like wasting time checking attendance. People need to trust each other. But before I came, Professor Bronck, the course leader, had already set attendance points as 10% of the final grade. So I will still symbolically register for the course this semester, and I will delete everyone's previous attendance results and start the attendance record over again."
Lanqi shifted his gaze from the ancient book to the student list next to it, looking at the results of the previous attendance checks this semester.
Seeing that some students had already been deducted attendance points, he couldn't bear to see students lose one or two points.
After all, the final exam only accounts for 50% of the final grade. This attendance score is still quite high and can affect whether the final grade is sufficient to get the highest rating.
Many students smiled. It seemed that the professor was a very nice and Buddhist person. He basically didn’t care whether students came or not.
There would be no need to waste their precious research time in class for many days. Everyone sitting here was a proud genius magic craftsman of the empire, and no one thought that such a young professor could be much better than them.
It seems that not only will the passing rate be quite high this semester, but there is also hope of getting a very excellent GPA in the end.
Level 4 courses have a relatively high weight in both weighted average grades and grade points.
"The result of that roll call counted directly as 10% of the score."
He added.
So he hoped that everyone would have good luck and be able to come on the day he called the names.
“…”
This gambling teacher.
Doesn't this mean that we have to do this in every class from now on? Isn't it said that trust between people is the ultimate psychological warfare?
The noisy atmosphere in the classroom gradually died down, and all eyes were focused on the man standing at the podium.
The expression on the face of the tall and slender young man made it impossible to read his mood.
I originally thought he would be a relatively mild-mannered professor, but now he seems extremely radical. Although the "balance of terror" he mentioned is difficult to understand, he is definitely not a normal person.
Lanci, the new professor of St. Clement's Monastery, glanced at the audience.
The time for simple self-introductions and interactive chats and questions and answers has passed, and it is time for him to take the lead in the class and start his own speech.
"Whether in the Kremer Empire, the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance in the north, the northern continent, or the unknown lands further north, people always imagine the future, and this future should actually make people feel scared."
Lanqi murmured calmly, "But most people are not afraid because they cannot understand the meaning behind it."
"Although my course is about magic engineering, it is definitely not just theory. You are the youngest magic engineering geniuses in the empire, gathered here. I prefer to teach you how to apply the results of magic engineering to actual combat."
Before he finished speaking, the classroom had already become quiet, and then faint discussions were heard again.
It stands to reason that after graduation, they will indeed have an excellent job in the Kreming Empire, doing the most important and cutting-edge magic engineering research for the empire, which may even be related to war.
But listening to this professor, his course will fast forward to this step and guide them to participate in military industry!
"Who on earth is Landry Wassington...?"
Some students began to be attracted by the professor's words, but most students still remained skeptical of the new professor.
"If you like military industry so much, why didn't you go directly to the Imperial Weapons and Equipment Department or the Development Department of the Special Operations Department, but came to the Monastery of Saint Cremona instead?"
"He looks like a calm lunatic. Will the principal allow him to do this?"
"If he really has the talent to match his words, Principal Violet might prefer him to teach in the monastery rather than be transferred by the military."
As a new professor, he was not considered a well-known figure in the field in the Kremlin Empire, and he did not have any actual research results.
Ultimately, it will be hard for the students here to be convinced, and some of them will seem a little boring.
"Everyone sitting in this classroom today is a leader in the field of magic engineering in Kremer. However, it is not difficult to be an excellent magic engineer. What is difficult is to become a great magic engineer."
The gray-clad professor at the podium spoke earnestly to the elites in the classroom.
He looked around at the students below, including several extremely talented young people studying magic engineering that Principal Violet had mentioned during their conversation with him.
In the classroom, he also saw a somewhat familiar figure——
Elsa Wasington is Landry Wasington's biological sister.
She was sitting upright, staring at the podium intently.
However, their eyes met briefly, and Lanqi no longer kept his gaze on her.
After all, in the classroom, he would not treat them specially even if they were real relatives, because this was his classroom.
Although Landry's sister is younger than other senior students, the fact that Principal Violet knows her name and can talk to her is probably not only because she is Landry's sister, but also because of her own potential, which is why she has the opportunity to be noticed by Violet.
Perhaps the brothers and sisters of the Wasington family all have sufficiently outstanding talents.
"I hope that each of you can find a unique idea, an original thought of your own. Only in this way can you leave your own mark in the history of magic engineering."
Lanci then issued a challenge to the students.
"!"
These words were like a thunderclap, causing huge waves in the hearts of those arrogant geniuses.
They looked at each other, wondering how they could achieve what the professor had said.
There was a strange light flashing in the eyes of many students in the audience, as if they were confident and eager to try.
At this time, St. Clement's Abbey, as the top university in the southern continent for hundreds of years, has a highly competitive and innovative academic style. Any young person with unique talents and ambitions undoubtedly has a goal.
Professor Landry's speech has aroused their desire and become their spiritual guidance and source of motivation.
"Then, Professor, how can one become a magic craftsman who leaves a mark in the history of magic engineering?"
Finally, a silver-haired noble lady at the back of the classroom raised her hand. "Or, Professor, have you done it yourself?"
She asked.
Many students nodded slightly and looked at the professor on the podium.
This is undoubtedly a question they are all concerned about.
"I have done it, but you don't even know me yet."
He just answered like this, whispering to himself, with great confidence and a sense of mission, "As for the method for you to achieve this achievement, it seems very far away, but it is actually very close. After all, the Krei Empire is now undergoing a drastic change. The subject I am studying will affect this drastic change and even become its core."
Professor Landry turned around slowly and did not choose to start writing on the huge whiteboard that was as big as the wall. Instead, he walked to the side of the classroom and wrote demonic characters on the glass window with a paint pen.
"As we all know, the ancient demon clan's magic engineering is famous for its creativity. It can be said to be the origin of magic, or that magic is closely related to the demon clan."
He had already entered the lecture state, writing slowly on the transparent glass while looking at the students and speaking.
Legend has it that humans did not know how to use magic in the beginning. It was not until the devil taught magic to humans that humans began to possess the power of magic.
However, the theory that excessive use of demonic magic will cause humans to become deformed, crazy, and even monsters has been confirmed even in modern times.
After long years of evolution and bloodline improvement, ancient human magicians gradually improved and created the earliest human magic texts, which allowed humans to use magic normally without paying a huge price.
The demonic language that the professor is writing at this moment seems to be in a transitional stage between demonic magic language and human magic language.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Not only can humans not understand it, even demons may not be able to understand it.
But for the students who chose to study the course "Research on Demonic Magic Engineering", these magic texts written in the process of evolution between demon magic texts and human magic texts are difficult to read, but they can surprisingly understand them.
They had not yet looked at the specific magic part in detail, but had only interpreted its information -
This is an extremely sophisticated and high-power chain blasting principle.
The natural light of the autumn morning shone in through the gaps between his words, making it extremely dazzling, but the students were unable to look away and had to read the black words on the glass even with frowns on their faces.
His magic engineering technology is modern, but his ideas and foundations are quite ancient.
All the students who can understand what the professor is writing on the blackboard know that what the professor is writing is valuable! This makes the students want to ask him: Who are you?
All the students subconsciously fixed their eyes on the huge glass window that the professor was facing, and some students directly picked up pens and began to record their understanding.
According to the school rules of St. Clement's Abbey, without the professor's permission, classroom blackboard writing and lectures cannot be recorded or photographed with a video camera. On the one hand, this is to protect intellectual property rights, and on the other hand, it can also urge students to focus more on thinking in class.
In a classroom as quiet as a library, students looked around in confusion, feeling that the principle given by the professor was mysterious and even doubting its authenticity.
"The final topic of this course is "On the Modern Application of Demonic Magic Engineering to Demolish Illegal Buildings". I would like to inform you in advance that it will be a group topic. I will arrange the groups and distribute them this week."
Professor Landry only wrote to the outline before stopping and starting to write in normal Kremer Empire language, then put down the paint pen.
Although the professor's writing on the blackboard came to an abrupt end, leaving the students wanting more, they were also glad that the professor did not write more, giving them time to fully digest the information.
It seemed that some students understood at this time why the professor did not write on the whiteboard but wrote on the glass window of the classroom.
Because he wanted to give the students enough time to stay after the class to freely view what was written on the glass window.
If this kind of arrogant behavior produces content of sufficient value, then not only will it not be erased like the blackboard writing in the classroom, it may even remain in this classroom for a month, a semester, or even decades.
At the same time, he also welcomes all teachers and students in the school who are interested in this topic to come to this classroom to see the groundbreaking principles he wrote! However.
At this moment, the students' attention is more focused on the professor's words.
Some courses at St. Clement's Abbey do not have a final exam. 50% of the final grade depends on the final project, the content of which can be completed in a whole semester.
"Originally, the plan for 'Magic World Magic Engineering Research' was to have an exam at the end of the semester, but after I took over, it was changed to a project format."
Lanci explained, "You can start preparing now. Similarly, I will teach you all the knowledge you need for this topic in class."
This format will bring less pressure at the end of the semester and be more open, and will accordingly test practical application skills rather than theoretical knowledge.
His words set off waves of noise in the classroom.
Although the professor by the floor-to-ceiling glass window said it so tactfully.
But the other magic engineering students knew it.
The professor named the final topic "The modern application of demon magic engineering to demolish illegal buildings."
In fact, in the modern wars in the southern continent, the blasting method that can destroy tower defenses is undoubtedly the top core topic in military industry!
Once a new type of high-performance bomb is developed, it will not only go down in the history of magic engineering, but will also receive the highest attention from the military of the Kreming Empire.
Landry's display and public display of his coursework at this moment was undoubtedly an olive branch to them. He wanted to find the most gifted and talented students in the Kremer Empire to join his military experiment.
"Lanqi, are you crazy? You taught the principles of your blasting skills to the Imperials. Do you really want to be awarded by the Kremlin Empire? What if they develop something and use it to fight the Allies?"
Talia originally thought that Lanci would use other methods to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students, but she didn't expect him to show his strength right away. Such behavior is probably close to betrayal of the alliance! "Don't worry, as long as this research makes progress in the Empire, the Allied spies will naturally get the information. By then, I can easily let the Allied forces grasp the progress and results of the Empire through Miss Unity."
Lanqi smiled easily in his heart and didn't think there was any problem at all.
“…”
Talia thought about it and it seemed so.
Even if Lanqi releases his research results to the Allied forces, they will sooner or later be obtained by spies from the Empire.
It would be better to directly borrow the Empire's manpower and resources to conduct research, and then share them with the Kingdom.
Not only will it attract the attention of the Empire, but it will also make it difficult for people to doubt Professor Landry's contribution and loyalty to the Empire.
"And Tata, have you noticed that many of the students here are descendants of nobles and important officials? In order to complete their assignments, they might actually help me find illegal buildings..."
Lanci added to Talia.
"……you!"
Talia was shocked.
The name of this kid's subject seems to be very literal.
He will use whatever means necessary, mobilize the power within the empire, and use resources and connections to obtain the coordinates of Blood Moon City, and then blow it up! (End of this chapter)
