A week later, in the inner courtyard of the Arcane Academy, the sun was shining on the green grass. Students were resting and taking walks here, enjoying their rare leisure time. However, surprisingly, despite the bright sunshine, the students' faces were not filled with youthful smiles, but were filled with fatigue and confusion.
Kenan sat on the grass with a dull look in his eyes. He turned his palm to Ed beside him and said softly, "I suspect I may have entered a fake arcane academy."
Ed didn't say anything. The dwarf Liel, the female elf Tanis, the tiger beastman Gebo, and the female mermaid Jeliya beside him nodded, as if they agreed with Conan's words. These people were the partners that Ed and Conan made at the Arcane Academy, but now they all seemed to be suffering from invisible torture.
"What's wrong with you?" Ed asked curiously, with concern in his eyes.
"Like I said just now, I suspect we are attending a fake arcane academy." Conan looked at Ed with resentment, his voice full of helplessness.
"Why do you say that?" Ed was a little confused.
Gerber of the Tiger Tribe said with some dissatisfaction: "This is totally different from the Arcane Academy I imagined!"
The elf Tanis nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is really strange!"
The dwarf Liel and the siren Jeliya said in unison: "+1!"
Ed was still confused: "What are you talking about!"
Conan came close to Ed, hugged his neck, and showed deep disappointment in his eyes: "Ed, I don't know how you have been spending this time, but we have had enough. This is not the Arcane Academy I imagined at all."
Ed was a little speechless: "What do you imagine the Arcane Academy to be like?"
"Of course, to go on adventures, explore, and learn with my friends, and then to succeed and revitalize the family!" Kenan's eyes were filled with fantasy and longing.
Borg of the tiger tribe showed off his muscles, his face full of longing: "Of course it's freedom, passion, and fighting! Men's friendship, common progress! Sweat it up!"
The elf Tanis fantasizes: "It should be a college life full of youth, love, and romance."
The dwarf Riel said, "Party, beer, laughter! Oh, and there are also legendary duel cards!"
The mermaid Jeliya was full of longing: "Sunshine, beaches, dates between men and women! Rippling in learning and love!"
Ed smiled awkwardly: "Isn't the Arcane Academy a place for learning? I always feel like you guys are here to find a date and have a vacation."
Konan clenched his fists, his face full of sadness: "Even if it's just learning, as a student of the Fighting Academy, shouldn't I be taught the use of magic, magic, swordsmanship and the like!?"
Tanis also nodded: "Yes, I thought that I could get in touch with the secrets of magic by coming to the Arcane Academy, but it is not what we thought at all!"
Borg looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't. "I need to go to the Warcraft Mountains for training and adventure! Not to work as a bricklayer at a construction site!"
The dwarf Liel also covered his head in frustration: "I knocked on stones every day in the tribe, and now I am still knocking on stones in the Arcane Academy! I've had enough!"
The mermaid Jeliya and the elf Tanis showed fear in their eyes: "We are doing exercises all the time. Do you know what "Sets and Functions", "Trigonometric Functions", "Inequalities", "Sequences", "Complex Numbers", "Permutations, Combinations, and Binomial Theorem", "Solid Geometry", and "Plane Analytic Geometry" are? We are going crazy!"
Ke Nan cried to Ed, "I don't want to flip the spoon anymore. I was wrong! If I had known, I would have gone to the Alchemy Academy!"
Ed thought to himself, Alchemy Academy is not as easy as you think. During this period of time, he assembled a series of alchemical props, including lighters, magic toothbrushes, fans, etc. He assembled thousands of lighters alone.
"What on earth did you go through?" Ed couldn't help but ask.
Konan said sadly, "Didn't I go to the fighting school? I thought I would learn skills like swordsmanship and magic. Do you know what the teacher gave us at the beginning of the school year?"
Ed didn't know that although fighting skills classes were compulsory, under Merlin's reform, students from other majors did not have to take fighting skills classes in the first month of enrollment.
"The teacher directly gave us a pot! A very heavy black pot!" Ke Nan stood up angrily and said excitedly.
Ed: “???”
Kenan hugged Ed, looking helpless: "You don't know how black and heavy that pot is. The teacher didn't teach us any magic or sword skills. He just made us hold that black pot and repeat the same action of flipping the pot every day!"
"Ah? Flipping the spoon?" Ed was shocked.
Ge Bo nodded frantically, "That's right! I'm going to break my hands from flipping the wok all the time! When we finally got used to it, the teacher actually asked us to use magic to drive the flames to heat the iron pot. Under the teacher's supervision, we had to control something called the temperature. We had to control the size of the flames. I was really impressed. It was hard enough to flip the wok with one hand, and we even had to control the amount of magic we injected to control the temperature!"
Is this really a class at the Fighting Academy? Ed was a little shocked.
"Then the teacher asked us to cut vegetables using our own weapons, cutting them into uniform sizes and thicknesses, and there was a time limit! This is simply torture!" Ke Nan hugged his legs with an autistic look on his face, recalling the scene of himself cutting radishes, feeling extremely helpless.
"You're fine. What I regret most is taking on the task of renovating the downtown commercial street. Although I get credits, who can stand moving bricks and steel bars at the construction site every day? My waist hurts so badly!" Ge Bo tapped his old waist.
The dwarf Liel wanted to cry but had no tears. "I chose the new civil engineering major jointly run by the Secret Academy and the Beast Taming Academy. However, the class content was just to follow the teacher to knock stones. Although I also learned some secret knowledge called "decoration", I have done enough of this kind of thing in the dwarf tribe! "
"Tanis and I have been doing math problems in the secret academy, and we are so exhausted!" The siren Jeliya felt uncomfortable when she thought of the piles of math papers.
Ed looked at their complaining expressions and smiled softly. "But I think the lessons at the Arcane Academy are effective. Konan, didn't you find that your strength has increased a lot? And you seem to be getting more and more proficient in controlling magic. Borg, the same goes for you. Your hair looks a little shinier."
"Riel, I heard that you dwarves have learned advanced secret knowledge called plastering and puttying, which is a skill that you dwarves don't have! As for Tanis and Jeliya, I can feel that your mental power has become much stronger, and you are proficient in mathematics. In the future, you will be able to cast magic more accurately!"
Ke Nan and the others looked at each other. They could also feel the changes in themselves, but they complained because there was a huge gap between what the academy taught and what they imagined.
