Chapter 1689 Bruce Wayne and the Sorcerer's Stone (IV)

Chapter 1662 Bruce Wayne and the Philosopher's Stone (IV)

After Bruce left, the atmosphere in the field was silent for a while. At this time, Schiller cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention back. Suddenly, everyone felt a little nervous and was very worried that the professor would vent his anger on them.

"Excessive humility will make you a lamb in the eyes of evil people. This is the first lesson you should learn in Gotham School of Magic."

Schiller spoke, but his tone was very calm. He said: "In the magic world, pride is not necessarily a bad thing. Excessive obedience to authority here may kill you. Facing those powerful beings and letting them do whatever they want, the consequence is to sacrifice your body and soul."

Strange, who was leaning on the back of the chair, nodded very reservedly, obviously agreeing with Schiller's point of view, but soon Schiller said

"But it is also a very important lesson to distinguish between enemies and friends. You must know who is on your side and who you should stand with. Only by beating your enemies and respecting and loving your kind, all your efforts to learn knowledge and master skills will be valuable."

Constantine also nodded. He and Zatanna led the applause, and then applause also broke out from the audience.

Schiller shook his head and said, "I know this occasion is not suitable for preaching, but the precautions I want to mention include being polite to your teachers and professors, and not wantonly attacking and insulting your classmates. Our school has a punishment mechanism."

When he said this, all the children pricked up their ears. They were indeed not very patient with preaching, but they were indeed afraid of punishment.

"We have different punishments for different degrees of mistakes, ranging from cleaning the common room, trimming hedges and shrubs, getting up early to clean the cobblestones and corridors, and other community service punishments, to confinement, suing parents, suspension, and expulsion. You should have heard of these in other schools."

The children nodded, and then Schiller continued: "Different colleges have different school rules. You can ask your grade leader for details... By the way, did I say that this college has a strong grade leader system. The grade leader is the leader of the grade."

There was a noisy discussion below. The grade leader system has almost been abolished in modern schools. At most, there will be a student union president, and some schools have stopped electing class leaders.

But this is not without reason. Too much decentralization of power will lead to too obvious class divisions among students, and many children of this age do not know how to use power correctly. Once a child has too much power, it is easy to form gangs and bully in school. Therefore, many schools in Europe and the United States, especially in lower grades, do not elect class leaders at all.

But the situation in the magic academy is special. Children must learn how to use power and how to face power earlier. In simple terms, if you can't even deal with the prefect, how can you deal with angels and demons?

The purpose of ordinary public education is to ensure fairness as much as possible, but the purpose of Gotham Magic Academy is to let students understand the dangers of the magic world in advance, so a certain degree of oppression is necessary. Flowers in a greenhouse and living Buddhas with no temper will only hand over the school's training to those powerful beings.

Schiller glanced at the students below again. This group of children was younger, generally only eight or nine years old, and each of them looked like a quail in fear. Schiller's eyes paused on Barry Allen's face, and then continued to speak.

"You are younger, so this is a separate grade activity. Next, you can write down the college you want to choose on paper. After the colleges are divided, we will select the prefect of your grade."

"That's why I said you'd better have a certain degree of respect for the dean and professors. There are many things that only we know. We have no intention of oppressing students, so if you don't ask humbly, we have no opinion. It's just that no one will make up for the things you missed due to backwardness and ignorance."

After saying that, Schiller smiled, stood up with several other professors, and began to distribute notes to students.

The younger students took the notes and wrote while whispering to their companions. Most of them were gloating. What Bruce said just now, such as poor ghost, was not just scolding Barry alone. Even children from wealthy families looked down on him for his appearance that he was the only rich man in the world.

Now, he left early. When the colleges were divided, he would not be selected as the class leader. One of the characteristics of the strong class leader system is that the class leader has power over all other students, almost ruling the entire grade. It seems that the annoying blue-eyed man will have to keep his tail between his legs in the future.

Thinking this way, the students wrote their own notes one after another. Because they entered school late, they had a certain understanding of the reputation of each college. Even if they had not experienced it, they all chose the college with the same interests and hobbies as themselves.

Barry Allen finally chose Rodriguez College. It was not that he really listened to the advice or couldn't swallow that breath, but he was really interested in magic theory.

He liked to read some fantasy novels since he was a child, and he had imagined himself becoming an omnipotent wizard in the novels, but the main reason he liked magic was the strange requirements of magic. As for really swinging a wand to fight with others, he was not so interested.

After the division was completed, the deans led the students to the dean's office. Schiller's office was located in the tallest of the floating spires of Rodriguez College, on the same floor as the student dormitories and public activity rooms. However, because there were too few students in the college at present, no one had moved into the student dormitory of that spire, so there was only one dean's office on that entire floor.

When he led the students to the front of the college, Kane took the initiative to step forward and began to introduce the facilities in the college to the freshmen. Kane was the senior class leader. He was able to successfully run for election among a group of children from large families, which showed that he had certain abilities, so the introduction was detailed and interesting.

"You have to look carefully at the steps under your feet, but not because you might miss them. These suspended steps look dangerous, but in fact, there are wind and floating runes carved under each step. Even if you fall, you will be blown up. It's just a little scary."

"I believe you have seen runes on the front of the steps. These runes change every day. The runes displayed every day are the runes taught by the professors of this college in class, but they will record some interesting stories and short sentences that the professors will not tell in class."

"If you look down at it when you walk, it can not only help you review your knowledge, but also help you concentrate on your feet, instead of playing around on the stairs and falling down one after another."

The students began to nod, and Kane smiled and said, "I have no intention of saying bad things about people behind their backs, but your senior sister, Miss Harley Quinzel, who left with the blue-eyed student before, fell down once before. The funny thing is that she falls down on average every week. Three times, as if she never remembered to look down at the road. "

The children all laughed, Kane shook his head and said: "So don't expect her to introduce these things like me, I just hope that the gentleman from the Wayne family can rely on his wisdom and wealth to avoid disasters and don't really fall down."

"Lefa." Schiller called Kane's name, turned his head and looked at him and said: "You talk a lot today, I hope you can be so fluent when reviewing homework later."

Kane smiled embarrassedly, ran behind Schiller, then waved behind him and said: "Hurry up, gentlemen and ladies, we have to have dinner after talking about the precautions."

Schiller took them to the dean's office on the top floor, which was also spacious and bright. The whole was semicircular, with a curved floor-to-ceiling window as big as half a spire, and the floor was a bright and clean marble floor. The second floor was open, and the walls above the second floor were all densely packed with bookshelves.

On the first floor, there is a reception area with soft carpets and sofas, a desk with a bookshelf, an office chair, a staircase leading to the second floor, and some sculptures that sparkle with magical luster.

"This Star Spirit sculpture is a gift from Constantine to our dean, and this moving painting is a gift from Dark Night Master Jim... Look at that shredder, it's a gift from Professor Schiller's outstanding graduates."

"Don't underestimate that shredder, it can not only shred your papers, but also shred you, so you'd better hand in some papers that are not so annoying, otherwise..."

Kane deliberately made a face to scare the lower-grade students. Miss Spencer rolled her eyes, stroked her hair and said, "Don't listen to him. Although Professor Schiller looks serious and has strict academic requirements, he is very good to students."

"For example, we can knock on his office door at any time and ask directly if we have any questions. He will occasionally visit us in the public activity room, and he almost doesn't care about the little mistakes we make in life, but the premise is that you have to hand in your homework on time."

"Do we have a lot of homework?" asked one of the students.

"I won't leave a lot of homework." Schiller walked to the desk, looked back at the students and said, "I value the quality of the homework more, so you can complete it according to the specified number of words. Even if you put in the most effort, including looking up information, it will not take more than two hours to complete the homework."

"Okay, come here, children, I will explain to you the precautions of this college. If you don't listen carefully, your seniors will not repeat it to you again, because these are some very basic rules."

The students walked to the reception area. At Schiller's signal, they sat down on the sofa and the carpet next to them in twos and threes. The old students consciously gave up their seats to the freshmen, most of them standing behind the sofa or standing by the bookshelf.

Kane went to light the fireplace next to him, and then brought some tea and biscuits. Barry felt a little hungry, but he didn't dare to take it. Miss Spencer took the initiative to pick up the biscuit plate and distribute biscuits to the freshmen.

"Don't be so restrained. We often hold afternoon tea parties and reading clubs in the common activity room at two or three in the afternoon. You can come and join us. You can learn a lot." Miss Spencer handed a cup of tea to Barry Allen, and then went to greet the students behind him.

Holding the slightly warm cup, Barry felt a little better, and the tension in his heart dissipated. He took a bite of the biscuit and found that it should have been just baked on the fireplace. It was particularly crispy and full of the aroma of butter and cheese.

With food in the stomach, the heart was not panicked. After eating and drinking for a while, the students obviously relaxed and gathered in groups of three or two to communicate. However, everyone had just met and there was no past to discuss. Most people talked about the arrogant blue eyes before.

After a while, Schiller came down from the second floor with some school uniforms in his hand. Kane hurried up to take them.

At this time, the students found that Schiller was wearing a rather formal wizard robe. Although it was still black, it was more gorgeous and elegant than the serious and formal black suit.
