This is a magical world, yet it is still clearly divided into classes.
Mages possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. As the main force in fighting against magical beasts, they naturally enjoy a superior status, privileges, and are the highest class.
Ordinary people serve magicians.
Although they weren't called servants, but workers, and although they weren't required to bow or kneel before magicians, the fate of these ordinary people from the lower classes was still firmly in the hands of these high-ranking magicians, who could manipulate them at will.
There are different levels within the magician hierarchy, and friction exists between them.
Therefore, in order to better fight against the monsters, the mages must unleash their maximum combat power.
Under the supervision of several top-ranking mages, two major mage organizations were established: the military region and the magic association.
The military region's primary mission is external defense, combating and defending against monsters. They are also tasked with exploring areas beyond the base to expand humanity's living space.
The Magic Association, on the other hand, focuses primarily on internal affairs, as they need a continuous stream of new magicians. Additionally, the Magic Association has an independent department… the Inquisition, composed of elite magicians, specifically responsible for combating cults and evil magicians.
Besides these two major organizations, there are many families and clans in this world with a long history.
They all have their own territory and influence, and they are not afraid of the military region or the magic association.
In this world, if a human cannot awaken magic by the age of ten, they can only enter an ordinary school and eventually become a wage slave.
Humans who can awaken magic can become magicians.
Magicians, like everyone else, need to learn, going through elementary school, middle school, high school, and university. Each stage has its own specialized magic school.
The curriculum at magic schools teaches students how to become powerful magicians.
The six years of primary school and the three years of junior high school are all foundational education.
Once you enter high school, a new course will be added... a practical course.
N County is a small county with a population of less than one million, which is certainly incomparable to large base cities with populations of tens of millions.
Although small, it has all the essential parts. N County also has a magic high school, which is also the only one in the county.
...
Lu Shi hurriedly tidied herself up, randomly picked a black business suit from the closet, and went out to hail a taxi straight to N County Magic High School.
N County Magic High School is very famous among the dozen or so smaller base counties in the surrounding area.
Because N County borders the Monster Forest directly to the west, it has long been in a position of being on the front line of pressure resistance.
That's why there's no lifeless magic theory education at N County Magic High School, and no group of magic nerds who only know how to take exams.
Whether they are freshmen or graduating seniors, they spend more than half of each semester outside the safety boundary for practical training.
Although this leads to a high student mortality rate, those who graduate alive from N County Magic High School and enter university each year are the cream of the crop.
They're so harsh on students.
Naturally, this places higher demands on teachers.
At this moment, in the principal's office, Lu Shi stood honestly in front of Feng Tianxiao, looking sincere and respectfully admitting her mistake, listening to the other party's words.
The old man's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Lu Shi repeatedly, saying:
"Teacher Lu, what's going on with you? You were hiding and wouldn't come to register before. Now I've finally managed to persuade Zhang Junshang. And you, you're late on the first day of registration. Look at the time! The first class is already over."
"I'm so sorry, Principal Feng. I was so engrossed in my cultivation yesterday that I overslept and didn't notice the time," Lu Shi explained softly, lowering her head.
"You need to stay awake during meditation. How could you fall asleep? Were you even practicing properly?" Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxiao's anger intensified.
What? Isn't sleeping meditation? Nobody told me that! But I feel so much better after a good night's sleep.
Lu Shi thought to herself, "I'm complaining."
These are all very basic magical facts, and were not recorded at all in the fragmented memories of the original body.
"You're a mid-level mage, and you're trying to fob me off with such a ridiculous excuse. It's infuriating!" Feng Tianxiao's roar grew even louder.
"Principal!" A gentle and pleasant male voice came from the doorway.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi turned to look.
A man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old stood in the doorway. He was tall and slender, with a refined and gentle demeanor, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high-bridged nose added to his air of nobility.
What a refined scoundrel! Oh no, he's a true gentleman.
I've been in contact with a lot of bad people lately, and now I see everyone as a bad person.
Lu Shi shook her head, banishing all negative thoughts.
"Teacher Wen, what brings you here?" Upon seeing the visitor, Feng Tianxiao's tone softened considerably.
"Principal, your voice is almost heard throughout the school, disturbing the students' classes. So I came to check on you." Teacher Wen's words were calm and reassuring.
Good heavens, he really is a refined scoundrel, even his speech is tinged with mental magic.
Luckily, I'm also a spiritual type.
I can smell your farts right away.
No, that's disgusting.
I should be able to sense any fluctuation in your mental magic.
"And who is this?" Teacher Wen asked, pointing to Lu Shi, after seeing that Feng Tianxiao had calmed down.
"Oh, she's a practical training instructor transferred from the capital," Feng Tianxiao replied irritably.
"Hello, my name is Lu Shi." Lu Shi extended her right hand generously.
"Hello, Wen Tianming." Wen Tianming also extended his right hand.
The two shook hands amicably, but there was a white glint in their eyes.
"So, Teacher Lu is also a psychoanalyst!" Wen Tianming blinked and said happily as he withdrew his hand.
"Well, but compared to Teacher Wen, I'm still a bit lacking." Lu Shi also withdrew her hand.
Not to be modest, but Wen Tianming's mental abilities were very strong. Despite her own reputation for high-level mental abilities and her three-digit soul weight, she couldn't sense the depth of the other party's abilities.
The opponent's mental magic is at least mid-level, and close to high-level. His technique is even more superb; he can even unleash the Mind Purification skill while speaking. That's incredible!
"You two seem to be having a very pleasant conversation." Seeing the interaction between the two, Feng Tianxiao stood up, feeling much more relaxed.
A perfect couple, a sight to behold.
Feng Tianxiao smiled slightly, his earlier roar gone, and continued, "Teacher Wen is the homeroom teacher of Class 3 in the first year of high school, and their class happens to be short of a teacher with practical experience. Teacher Lu, why don't you go to his class?"
With just one sentence, Lu Shi's destination was decided.
OK.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
This teacher, Ms. Wen, seems quite friendly, so I'll go.
...
Wen Tianming led Lu Shi toward Class 3 of Grade 1.
On the way, he gave a brief introduction to the class situation of the first year of high school.
There are 3 classes in the first year of high school.
Class 1 is an elite class, filled with scions of noble families. These young masters and ladies, who already have magical backgrounds, know far more than magic students from ordinary families. For example, they often wear magical artifacts and accessories with magical power around their necks. They are a group of typical second-generation magicians and sorcerers.
Class 2 is the reserve army mage class, consisting of families and children of military personnel. They are not lacking in background, but due to family reasons, the students in this class are a group of passionate young men and women. Especially in the first year of high school, they often do some immature and eccentric things.
Class 3 consists of magicians from ordinary families. They are ordinary in every way, but they are also the largest class.
When Wen Tianming led Lu Shi to the door of Class 3, they saw an older teacher inside, who was teaching a Warcraft course.
"Alright, now I'll continue to tell you about some of the more common magical beasts. As we all know, magical beasts are distributed outside the base cities where we humans live. They are absolutely aggressive towards humans. They roam around and fight each other... So what should a mage do if they encounter a first-tier Gale Wolf when they venture into the wild?" the teacher said with great enthusiasm.
A female student raised her hand and was immediately called on by the teacher to answer.
"The Gale Wolves are pack monsters; they rarely appear alone. Furthermore, they are wind-type and incredibly fast. Don't even think about running away from them; you can't outrun them. The best course of action is to gather everyone's strength, find a suitable defensive position, and then..."
Gale Wolf.
What should you do if you encounter this?
Is it as complicated as you make it out to be?
The giant scissors were raised, and with a few snips, they all felled, then their souls were absorbed as fuel for upgrading.
As Lu Shi listened to the students' answers from outside, she thought about what she had done.
He burst out laughing.
That smile instantly drew everyone's attention in the classroom.
