Chapter 1616: No Time to Die (Part 15)
"The dormitory conditions at the Academy of Power are the best; they are in the main building on the west side of the courtyard. The height is appropriate and the sunlight is sufficient, but the disadvantage is that it is very far from the classrooms for lessons and the practice fields for drills. You even have to cross the entire courtyard area and the large garden. I'm afraid you must wake up thirty to forty minutes early to avoid being late."
The children who came here, even the young ladies and young masters from wealthy families, had almost never lived in such an environment with such characteristics, not to mention having so many little partners living here with them.
Soon, they became excited, sitting on the sofa, on the ground, and even on the windowsill of the public lounge, discussing everything here loudly, even forgetting to pack their luggage.
Victor, who had brought elementary and middle school students before, had long expected this scene and let the professors go to the lounges of each college to remind the children to pack their things, change their clothes, and then go to the banquet.
The school uniform of the magic academy is the kind of robe common in church schools in most states in the United States, and it has the same effect as British boarding schools, but there is a tiny difference from Hogwarts school uniforms.
Americans mostly pay attention to pragmatism, basically simplifying everything passed down from Europe. So, to put it bluntly, this robe is a black top and bottom plus a long coat. The long coat isn't necessarily required to be worn. Except that the top is a bit longer and will cover the knees, it's no different from modern school uniforms.
The purpose of school uniforms is actually to eliminate the differences between students. This can effectively put an end to comparison and appearance anxiety. Everyone dresses like a black penguin, so there is nothing to compare.
Except for the vast majority of children other than local Cat Getan children, they recognize this kind of school uniform. Even if some children in private schools haven't worn it, they have occasionally seen it. They quickly changed into their own clothes and then mocked each other's bloated image.
The local Cat Getan children spent a bit of effort to figure out how to wear these clothes. They were the most unaccustomed, because compared with their daily simple clothes, this was indeed a bit too long-winded and bloated.
And after coming to the auditorium again, they saw the splendor of magic for the first time. This place was rearranged into an incomparably dreamy scene. Gorgeous long tables and chairs were floating in mid-air, semi-transparent little spirits held wine and poured it into cups, flowers and donuts held hands and danced, and candies lined up and jumped into their mouths.
As soon as the children's hands reached toward the stool, they found that they were already sitting on it, and they were sitting very steadily without shaking, but their feet were at least two meters off the ground.
A row of long tables at the very front of the auditorium was also floating in the air, but sitting on it were professors and the like. Jim tapped the table gently, and the field immediately quieted down.
"Alright, children, what did we say before? I want to introduce the deans of each college to you. They will lead you through all your learning time. You had better respect them enough."
The children below immediately held their breath. At their age, they had already grasped some truths of social strata, knowing that to survive in a certain group, they had to please the leader as much as possible.
"First, Professor Stephen Strange. He comes from another universe that is almost the same as ours, but he is called the 'Sorcerer Supreme' in that universe, commanding the mages of the entire Earth and dozens of magic sanctuaries around the world. He is also the highest leader of the magic holy land Kamar-Taj. He will be the dean of the Power College."
Upon hearing this series of titles, the gasps below came one after another. Strange, wearing a local mage's robe, stood up, nodded reservedly, and raised his glass in toast.
"This one, Zatanna Zatara, dean of the Craft College. She was born into a traditional magic family and has the most noble blood flowing in her body. Reverse magic is currently the most powerful magic power in the magic world. At the same time, she is also proficient in various magic crafts, including alchemy, medicine, illusion, mental magic, etc. She can also be called a master of magic miscellaneous studies."
Zatanna stood up and also nodded to all the students, but her face was a bit dissatisfied, constantly glancing at Constantine, and Constantine could only show a bitter smile.
Actually, this dean should have been Constantine, because he is the master of magic miscellaneous studies, or he only knows miscellaneous studies. Except for the methods of borrowing power from demons and angels, he is extremely proficient in all other methods.
But Constantine knew his own affairs. His leadership ability was as bad as a pile of dog shit. After all, you can't expect someone who constantly sacrifices teammates to lead a team well. So the night before, Constantine tried every means to persuade Zatanna to take over the dean's work.
"Finally, I want to solemnly introduce to you—Professor Schiller Rodriguez. Besides being a professor at the magic academy, he is also a professor in the Department of Psychology at Cat Getan University. Perhaps someone has heard his name. That's right, he is the famous psychologist Rodriguez. He will be the dean of the Magic Theory College."
Below, a small burst of noise suddenly broke out. Some students from wealthy families started popularizing Schiller's reputation to others.
Just when the students' interest was aroused, the introduction came to an abrupt end. Schiller stood up, raised his glass in toast, and then sat down. Jim announced that it was time to eat, leaving only the confused students of the Magic Theory College looking at each other.
However, soon, the students were attracted by the sumptuous food in front of them.
Today's main course was crispy Neapolitan pizza. Meat included herb-roasted chicken, steak with mashed potatoes and beans, and creamy shrimp gratin. Vegetables included traditional Italian roasted vegetables, creamy spinach dumplings, and tomato-stewed chicken chunks. Soup included pumpkin soup and pea sweet soup. Of course, there were also common American fried chicken chunks and fries. Dessert was donuts and non-alcoholic tiramisu cake.
It wasn't that there were no children from wealthy families among the students, but when all the dishes were floating in the air, no matter how common they were, or even if they tasted bad, they would be extra appetizing.
Finally, everyone was full, and even many children who didn't eat breakfast were almost stuffed to the point of vomiting. But on the way back to the dormitory, some children of the Theory College couldn't help but complain.
"The deans of other colleges have so many titles, they sound so powerful. Why is our dean just..."
At this time, a local Cat Getan child rushed up and covered his mouth, while looking around in horror and saying: "God! You'd better say less! If that professor hears it, we'll all be in trouble!"
"But what I said was clearly..."
"Who heard what?" A voice came from inside the public lounge. The local Cat Getan child immediately let go of his hand, clasped his hands in front of his chest, smiled at Schiller, and said: "No, nothing, Professor Schiller. We were just joking."
At the same time, he kept poking the out-of-town child behind him with his elbow, signaling him to shut up. Although the child didn't understand, he knew how to read faces, so he didn't say anything more.
"I know you are very curious about me. I don't look like someone who can do magic. However, magic theory is originally more focused on theory. When you realize the essence of magic, you will know how lucky you are to be assigned to this college."
Schiller always had extra patience for children. He didn't explain his identity too much, but left space for them to explore. However, this space wasn't actually big, because soon the local Cat Getan children would popularize who Schiller was to others.
"I came here to confirm if you have any inconvenience in your life. Do you have any?"
"Nothing, Professor. It's all quite good here, it's especially good."
"Alright, my office is on the third floor of the highest mage tower. If you have any questions, go there and find me, okay?"
The children stared at him with big eyes and nodded in unison. Schiller turned and left. And when he returned to his office, there was another letter on the desk.
He walked to the desk and saw the signature on the envelope was Batman. Clearly, this letter was from the Batman of the main universe, but this was already his fourth long letter this week.
Schiller looked at the twenty-plus letters from the main universe Batman on the letter rack and sighed lightly. ===== CHAPTER 1617 =====
It was not that there were no children from wealthy families among the students, but when all the dishes were floating in the air, even if they were common or even tasted bad, they would be exceptionally appetizing.
In the end, everyone was full, and some children who hadn't eaten breakfast were almost stuffed to the point of vomiting, but on the way back to the dorms, some children from the Academy of Theory couldn't help but complain.
"The deans of other academies have so many titles; they sound so impressive. Why is our academy's dean just..."
At this moment, a local Cat Getan child rushed forward in a stride and covered his mouth. At the same time, he looked left and right in some terror and said, "Good heavens! You'd better say less. If that professor hears you, we'll all be in big trouble!"
"But what I said was clearly..."
"Who heard what?" A voice came from inside the common room. The local Cat Getan child immediately let go of his hand, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and revealed a smile to Schiller, saying, "No, nothing, Professor Schiller. We were just joking."
At the same time, he kept poking the out-of-town child behind him with his elbow, signaling him to shut up. Although that child was confused, he could at least read the room and didn't say anything more.
"I know you are very curious about me. I don't look like someone who can do magic, but magic theory is inherently more focused on theory. Once you understand the essence of magic, you will know how lucky you are to be assigned to this academy."
Schiller always had extra patience for children. He did not explain his identity too much, but instead left space for them to explore. However, this space was actually not large, because soon the local Cat Getan children would educate the others on who Schiller was.
"I came here to confirm if you have any inconveniences in your daily life. Do you?"
"Nothing, Professor. Everything here is quite good—it's especially good."
"Alright, my office is on the third floor of the highest Mage Tower. If you have any problems, go there to find me, okay?"
The children stared at him with wide eyes and nodded in unison. Schiller turned and left, and when he returned to his office, another letter was placed on the desk.
He walked to the desk and saw that the signature on the envelope was Batman. It was very clear that this letter came from the Batman of the main universe, but this was already his fourth long letter this week.
Schiller looked at the more than twenty letters from the main universe's Batman displayed on the letter rack and sighed softly.
