Chapter 38:37: Growth (Seeking follow-up reading)
As time entered December of the 310th year of the New Divine Calendar, the students of the Philante School of Magic were forced into a busy period.
The reason is simple. A semester is about to end, so there must be an assessment.
If you fail in swordsmanship, physical fitness, or any other subject, you must retake it.
The magic academy has always had a lenient admission policy but a strict graduation policy. Even a small test in one semester is not easy to pass.
Of course, for Luo Yi, no problem is a big deal.
In terms of physical fitness, he is stronger than physical education teacher Matthew Bolivar.
When it comes to swordsmanship, swordsmanship teacher Williams Culler has to ask him for advice.
As for the examinations in various subjects, he would get full marks as long as he put in a little effort.
With Deep Blue around, it was difficult for him to lose points on these knowledge points that required rote memorization.
However, since I hardly ever attended classes, I wasn't familiar with the substitute teachers.
Well, that's too euphemistic. I guess we basically never met, so I got almost no class points.
The two offset each other, and it is definitely qualified, but it is not a high score either.
The only class he took seriously was "Basic Meditation," but as someone who had no introduction to meditation, he didn't actually get many points in the class.
It is worth mentioning that because of the basic meditation class, Luo Yi paid special attention to the students in the class and found that twenty-one students had already started to meditate.
Twenty-one people, accounting for one-third of the class, put in a semester and nearly four months of serious study and meditation guidance, and they finally possessed the magic.
Seriously speaking, this ratio is not low. Although it is difficult to get started with meditation, it is not so difficult that you cannot learn it.
As long as it is promoted according to the existing education system, the introduction to meditation will inevitably develop towards younger people and at a lower age. Who knows, there will come a day when the Habsburg Empire will be able to popularize magic among all the people.
A 100% penetration rate is definitely impossible, but 80% to 90% is still possible.
In this way, magical firearms can become conventional weapons, and the Habsburg Empire will have terrible war potential.
Just thinking about the scene of countless soldiers holding magical guns and pushing magical cannons and marching into the battlefield, Luo Yi felt a little chilly.
If that scene really happens, maybe it will be a world war?
After the examination, it is naturally time for vacation. The education system of the Habsburg Empire also has winter and summer vacations, but they are shorter.
For example, the winter vacation is from the end of December to the middle of January, which is about half a month.
During this period, we have to go through the two most important festivals in the Old World - Christmas and Grace.
Christmas, as the name suggests, is the birthday of God.
According to legend, December 25th is the day when the sun god was born, and it is also the day when Helka brought good news to all living beings, so there is this "Christmas".
Although the Habsburg Empire has converted the Seven Gods to its state religion, the status of the sun god in this empire has been greatly shaken.
However, customs are not so easy to change, and the beliefs of ordinary people are not so easy to shake.
So, Christmas is still very important!
However, it is also very obvious that the Habsburg Empire downplayed Christmas.
For example, the celebrations that used to be inevitable are no longer there.
For example, the prayers organized by the Church of the Sun God did not cause much waves.
Instead, the Feast of Divine Grace gradually came to the fore.
Grace Day is celebrated on January 1st of each year. It is the beginning of the year and symbolizes beginning and hope.
This is also an existing festival, but after the advent of the Seven Gods, it was given more and richer connotations.
On this day, the Church of the Seven Gods will hold a grand prayer, and may even receive divine blessings.
On this day, the Habsburg Empire will also hold an open-air party.
In the square, there will be sufficient food and drinks prepared for everyone who goes out to eat and drink as they please.
On this day, people will put down their work, put on new clothes, sing and dance around the bonfire, and even boys and girls will secretly get married.
It can be said that this is the most important festival in the Habsburg Empire. Even though it has not arrived yet, Chloe can already feel the cheerful atmosphere in the air.
Of course, none of the above has anything to do with Luo Yi.
On December 23, after the last exam, the Magic Academy was almost deserted.
Most of the students left one after another, so that the college seemed a bit empty.
Most of them are from around Auckland, so it is convenient for them to go home. But for Luo Yi, half a month may not be enough for him to make a round trip.
More importantly, Luo Yi didn't know what attitude he should have when facing those acquaintances in Ferro Town. It would be better not to go back.
For him, it’s just a matter of practicing and studying, and there’s actually not much change.
Woolley Aaron's death happened quietly and has become an unsolved case. Loy is the biggest suspect, but the question is, where is the evidence?
From beginning to end, Wu Li Aaron had never seen Luo Yi's face. Even if he found a necromancer or summoned the vengeful spirit, he would not be able to correct him.
What's more, the Public Security Bureau has neither the motivation nor the professional ability to investigate further, so it can only let the case be shelved.
This kind of thing is very common. Apart from the fact that Woolley Aaron's second son went to the police station to make trouble, there was no other movement.
His businesses were quickly divided up by other businessmen, and Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory also got a share.
Then there is Ang's gang of brothers.
He was a man who knew how to seize opportunities. After the Razor Gang was mostly killed by Loy, he immediately organized people and occupied most of the Razor Gang's blocks and businesses.
They took over smoothly, but after all, they were just a bunch of little brats and were easily looked down upon.
Having suddenly occupied such a big piece of fat meat, it is natural that other gangs are eyeing it covetously.
Ang was not a reckless person. He first released the bodies of three second-level warriors in a high-profile manner, and then spread some true and false news.
This made the 'ghost bounty hunter' behind him even more feared, and in the short term, no one dared to act rashly.
But this was definitely not enough, so he personally stepped forward, offered a lot of money in the name of "Ghost Hunter", and recruited some powerful people.
Then he hired several teachers for the children who had been following him before.
From enlightenment to writing, from mathematics to reading, from physical exercise to swordsmanship, the teaching is quite professional!
As for himself, he didn't know how he had impressed Oliveira.
Although he did not become a disciple, he would take time out every day to study and practice with Oliveira.
Compared to Luo Yi, he behaves more like a student and is more motivated.
Of course, everything he did was instructed by Luo Yi. It can even be said that many of the methods and approaches were taught to him by Luo Yi himself.
Koloy didn't know what he wanted to do. He had no intention of supporting a gang and unifying the underworld of Oakland.
It's just that when things get to this point, I do it unconsciously.
During this period, the thing that made Luo Yi most happy was that there was feedback from the Duchy of Normandy.
The first batch of products from the Chancellery Magic Textile Factory began to be sold in three cities in the Norman Duchy before Christmas.
Because of its good quality and low price, the product was of high quality and received excellent response, and it was sold out in just a few days.
The specific profit is still being calculated and it will take some time.
However, money is definitely made, and it can be regarded as an explanation from Roy to the Raymond family.
Perhaps Earl Raymond doesn't care much, but it's inevitable that there will be people in the family gossiping about him. Only by making some achievements can Roy shut up the gossips.
In addition, Loy also asked Butler Hoover to continue investigating other magic machinery factories, mainly focusing on transportation, metallurgy and other aspects.
The Xiangsheli Magic Energy Textile Factory was just a small test, and he would naturally get involved in other industries as well, but what he liked most was actually magic energy metallurgy.
There is no doubt that steel is the foundation of industrial development.
Not to mention guns, cannons and the like, the demand for transportation and construction alone will allow this industry to continue to expand.
However, at this stage, these are either aristocratic industries or have the support of powerful nobles, and their backing is very strong, so there is not much chance.
Time passed quickly, and it was already December 26, 310 of the New Divine Calendar, the day after the ordinary 'Christmas'.
In the afternoon,
19 Lombard Street, first floor training ground.
"315, 316, 317..."
Luo Yi was naked, wearing only a pair of underwear around his waist. He was holding a 50-kilogram dumbbell in each hand and doing squats.
As he exerted force, his muscles bulged, his blood vessels bulged, and he sweated profusely, causing his bronze skin to glow.
“…348, 349, 350!”
A set of high-intensity training finally ended. Luo Yi put down the dumbbells and lay on the ground somewhat exhausted, gasping for breath, with heat steaming all over his body.
However, Luo Yi ignored the fatigue after training, but looked at the [Attribute Panel] in front of him.

At just one glance, Luo Yi discovered that his [Attribute Panel] had changed drastically.
Asking for a ticket...
