The auditorium of the academy is a round-vaulted building with a capacity of 5,000 people, which is somewhat shaped like a giant seashell when viewed from high in the air.This was just a simple evening party for the opening of the new students, but in the afternoon, thousands of students gathered in the square at the entrance of the auditorium alone, and the magic apprentices wearing mage robes only occupied a corner of the square, and most of the rest were students from the Warrior Academy, and there was already a long queue at the entrance of the auditorium.By this time, the students in the audience had already begun to enter the arena early, and I was not sure that this auditorium would be able to accommodate the entire square.A circle of terrazzo steps was built around the college auditorium, and now on the steps, there are still crowds of people around the auditorium, a lively scene.What makes me feel very helpless is that Ya and Sophie are both teachers in the academy, although they are both teaching assistants at the lowest level, but they still enjoy the treatment of teachers, that is, they have their own designated seats in the teacher's viewing area, and they have a teacher-only passage to enter the venue directly.So they don't have to wait in long queues like I did.Seeing Ya smiling and waving goodbye to me, the sun at this time had already pulled my shadow for a long time, and I stood outside the long queue, a little overwhelmed for a while.I considered whether to go to the tail of the long dragon a hundred meters away, obediently waiting for the moment that belonged to me to come slowly, and leaned down a big hand around my shoulder, pressing on my shoulder, making me feel like a mountain on my back."
Hey, Jijia, I saw your stupid goose standing stupidly in this square from a distance, you are waiting for someone?"
The fat man said loudly to me behind me.I got out of the fat man's arms, then stood in front of the fat man, looked at the long dragon in front of me and said, "Actually, I've been looking for the tail of the team, and I want to get in and watch those shows!"
”。
I don't know why, the fat man's wide gray magic robe is always greasy by him, but he doesn't care at all, he squints at the long dragon is getting longer and longer, blinks the small black bean-like eyes on the fat face and says: "If you go to the back of the queue, when you enter the venue, you can only sit in the back row at most, maybe all the seats are crowded, and the people in the back can only stand in the aisle."
But!
You are already a member of our water polo team, and as the captain, I naturally want to take care of you!
”He's been busy building his own water polo team lately, and in the morning, he shoehorned me into the bench.I met him at the Magic Awakening Ceremony, when we were just two ordinary children who had only passed the five-level test, and the mean academy only provided us with a pitiful lunch, and later I learned that the academy was for our good, and it was really not advisable to overeat and be too greasy before gathering mana.But I didn't expect that this guy actually took out a fat chicken leg, and when he was just about to feast, he saw me looking at him with a surprised face, but I didn't expect that he was so fond of eating that he reluctantly handed the chicken leg to me and asked me: Do you want to taste it.I didn't have much communication with the fat man when I first met, but when I saw him again, he was already a magic apprentice, wearing a gray magic robe standing in front of the teaching building of the magic academy, looking up at the five oil paintings hanging on the wall from a distance, his round belly was really funny, but his serious expression did make me feel that his heart was far more delicate than his appearance, and I think there was a very lofty ideal hidden in his heart.The fat man's name is Bobby, and he is an earth-based affinity magician who owns it.At this time, he put one hand around my shoulder, led me through the crowd, and dragged me into the long dragon's ranks, I was already dizzy by him, and then I realized that there were more than a dozen freshmen from the magic academy here, and I could probably call their names when we were in a big class together, but I hadn't talked to them.It seemed that the fat man was originally in this row, but when he saw me in the square, he ran out and pulled me in.He led me into the line where I was standing and put me in front of him.Although some people saw me cut in line, the people around me didn't complain, and these people were all magic apprentices, although they were freshmen and had no magical power, but the magic robes of all colors could still make those dissatisfied students shut up.Fat Bobby said affectionately to them: "It's not me who blows to you, Ji Jia and I have known each other before awakening the magic pool" I have to say that Fat Bobby has an unparalleled affinity, and the big mouth just said a few words, and it opened everyone's topic.The reason why I was a little rusty with these people was mainly because I barely practiced meditation and left all my free time in the library, which was the only two new students in this group of magic apprentices to do so, and that was Ying Li and me.So the two of us have become outliers among the new magic apprentices, and we rarely communicate with each other.With the Fat Bobby Bridge, I slowly got in touch with these new magic apprentices, and they realized that I was not a withdrawn person, so everyone gradually began to accept me."
Jia, why don't you always take the time to meditate, we haven't reached the second level of magic apprenticeship this semester, and we don't have any credits."
The short man in front of me asked me this, his face was a little freckled, but he spoke very shyly, and I could hear a kind reminder from his words, if you don't get credits, the college's make-up examination system is very strict."
Oh, actually, I've been looking for a balance these days, that is, to find a point, a point of balance between casting spells and restoring mana, so that when practicing magic, I can get twice the result with half the effort, I've been looking up some materials in the library these days, in fact, that's for this!"
I explained it this way.I was really thinking about it, and I thought that if I could drain the mana in my magic pool very quickly, and then use meditation to restore my mana like they did, I would have the advantage of recovering mana at least twice as fast as theirs, or more, and only with this repeated practice would my magic pool continue to grow.In fact, it doesn't mean that just because the magic pool is always full, it will be able to increase the capacity of the magic pool quickly.At this point, maybe Mentor Heidi misunderstood, maybe the books were not entirely right, maybe the examples didn't suit me, and I needed to find my own new path.I didn't say that my magic pool is actually a magic vortex, I think everyone should have some little secrets.However, my remarks made these magic apprentices fall into deep thought, they felt that what I said was not unreasonable, but the approach was a bit extreme, they usually practiced meditation in self-study classes, and after the magic power in the magic pool was full, they waited for the magic power in the magic pool to naturally decrease.The mental power of these new students is very low, so their mana in their natural state is constantly decreasing, and the magic apprentices at this time are very hard, they need to keep the mana in the magic pool at all times, and they can't let them be reduced to the lowest point, otherwise once the mana is consumed in the magic pool, it will seriously damage their mental power.So, we, the new students of the magic apprentices, stood in the long line and started a discussion.Everyone gradually divided into two factions, one is the conservative faction, they think that they still follow the teachings of the academy teachers, practice meditation on time every day, and slowly accumulate to make the magic pool continue to grow, so that they can steadily break through the level of levels and improve themselves.The advantage of this is that the foundation is solid, and although progress is slow, diligence can allow you to grow steadily.The other is the radicals, they are the people who have heard my remarks, and think that what I said is also very reasonable, they think that the time interval between meditation techniques is still too long, and half of the time is wasted waiting for the mana to dissipate, if you can learn a new spell, then quickly consume the mana, and then rebuild the mana, so that the interval between meditations will be shortened?
Radicals believe that a lot of practice is destined to make the magic pool grow quickly.Before the apprentices had succeeded in convincing each other, we had already passed through the door of the auditorium and entered a magical world, which was arranged like a large basketball court, surrounded by neat seats, the lower the ground in front and the higher the ground in the back, so that all the audience could see the performance on stage.All the dark marble floors of the auditorium are covered with stars, just like all of us are in the night sky, trampling the stars under our feet, I looked up at the ceiling, the whole round vaulted ceiling and the marble floor are perfectly connected, I can't tell where the seams are, the whole auditorium is like being in the starry sky, the two stars above the canopy pass by our side, those hundreds of millions of stars are very real, these star maps are connected together, forming a 360-degree full-angle visual effect, From the moment I stepped into the Great Hall, I had the feeling that I might fall into the Endless Void at any moment, making every step I take seem cautious.The stage is set up in the center of the auditorium, it is a high platform that is simply built with shelves, wrapped with decorative cloth around it, and the rock patterns drawn by the painters on it look like the entire stage is built on a meteorite, the strange rock is constantly cracking, and some rare magic crystals are exposed in the entire meteorite rock layer, which is a rich sea of stars that people yearn for.The stage was about twenty meters above the ground, and the magic lights on the stage were constantly flickering, and groups of magic flares swam in the air of the auditorium like fish swimming in water.Wherever the fish go, it shines the brightest.Various instruments and props were already set up on the stage, and a very soothing kind of music was played around the auditorium, as if it were roaming in the starry sky."
Damn, Jia, you said that if I stepped on it, can I fall down?"
As soon as the fat man Bobby entered the door, he saw the strange scenery in the auditorium, and he was so frightened that he retracted behind the door and didn't dare to walk in.I was amazed and sighed in my heart, no wonder we had been queuing outside for so long, it turned out that the set in the auditorium was so like a real void that many students could not adapt after entering the venue, so that there was a long queue at the door.I don't know which master in the academy is so talented."
It's okay, these light and shadow effects are probably the senior of the Qi magic class in the magic academy, who is making a little joke with us freshmen, Bobby, you come in quickly, in fact, it feels good to trample the stars under your feet!"
I turned around and pulled Bobby in, who was cowering behind the door.The two magic apprentices behind Bobby saw Bobby walk into the auditorium for less than a second, and they were so frightened that they came out again, thinking that Bobby's courage was too small, and before he could make fun of the fat man in front of him, he had already stepped into a dark starry sky, and for a while he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.I couldn't help myself.The freshmen who had already entered the auditorium were completely immersed in this magnificent and mysterious sea of stars, and there was a female student who tried to catch the meteor that passed by, but when the meteorite passed by her, the entire meteorite covered the entire wall, and the circular crater and ice crystal fragments on the meteorite were clearly visible, and the shocking feeling of the sudden impact made the female student scream and sit on the ground.The light and shadow of the meteorite passed through her body: "This is so cool!
”Bobby said to me, and he trembled after me, looking at the dazzling starry sky.One of the two magic apprentices who followed me said, "Jia, you're so bold!
”I was actually scared cold, after all, the place was so realistically arranged, and our group groped forward to find empty seats in the auditorium, and at this time the auditorium was half a small place, and it was already full of students.I chose an empty seat at the front and sat down.Fat Bobby actually sat next to me.At this time, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the auditorium.I heard someone whispering, "The seniors of the Warrior Academy are starting to enter!"
”As he spoke, he saw a group of warriors dressed in delicate light leather armor neatly walking in at the door, they were uniformly wearing blue shin armor and long combat boots, and they looked extraordinarily neat.The other students standing in the aisle avoided it, allowing the well-dressed warrior students to break straight into the auditorium.The tall warrior who led the team chose a phalanx area with a lot of vacant seats, and walked straight over with these.The dozen or so freshmen who were originally sitting there loosely hurriedly moved their seats out of the way and sat in the positions of other phalanxes."
These seniors are really majestic!"
Bobby, who was sitting next to me, praised me and said with envy on his face.I was also taken aback by the battle of these uniformly dressed seniors, as these seniors entered the arena one after another, the atmosphere in the auditorium was ignited at once, and the whole relatively dull auditorium was gradually heating up, and those newcomers to the Warrior Academy were also full of pride and adoration, fantasizing that they might be like them in a year.In this lively atmosphere, the party kicked off.To be continued.
