Chapter 1670

Another fact has proved that as long as your teacher is strong enough, you will be threatened by the words "tell the teacher" at all times.

Even though Strange is already a world-renowned Sorcerer Supreme, and even historians in the universe generally believe that his achievements are higher, Strange still has an innate fear of his teacher, the Ancient One.

But this cannot be said that he is too cowardly. It is difficult to find a few people in the universe who have no fear of the Ancient One. Saying that she is notorious is a bit conservative.

Seeing the slightly curious expressions of the others, Strange could only sigh and said: "My teacher, the Ancient One, oh, her real name is 'Yao', born in a small village at the foot of the Himalayas about 470 years ago. That village is called Kamar-Taj."

"She came into contact with magic by accident and achieved enlightenment with almost no help with extremely high talent and great patience, and then she opened her extremely brilliant life..."

In the lounge of Kamar-Taj, three children were lying side by side on a large bed that occupied half the room. Each of them was pale and looked blank. Although there were magic bubbles on their heads that provided enough oxygen, their bodies were more fragile than adults, and they needed more time to adapt to all this.

The Indian girl named Shilila brought three cups of hot tea on a tray and placed them on the small table in the middle of the large bed. She tried to talk to the three of them in Chinese, Indian dialect, and English. In the end, it was Harley, who had the best body, who replied to her.

"Hello, you can call me Harley. Can you tell us where we are now?"

"So the Sorcerer Supreme didn't tell you in advance?" Shilila gathered the hem of her skirt, sat on the edge of the large bed next to Harley, and said: "This is Kamar-Taj Magic Academy. The Sorcerer Supreme said you are new students here and will come to report today. Originally, Ade was responsible for your reception, but I didn't expect you to fall here."

"I am responsible for helping the Sorcerer Supreme clean his study. When I saw you lying here, I was really scared, but don't worry, this situation hasn't happened for the first time."

"The altitude of this academy is very high, and students also need such a high-altitude environment to exercise their physique, so no magic can help this school completely get rid of the influence of altitude sickness."

"The vast majority of new students will adapt at a lower altitude at the foot of the mountain for about two months. They call it 'preparatory school', and then they will come up the mountain. The Sorcerer Supreme was very hurried when he gave the instructions, and we all thought you had already read the preparatory school."

"You said... this is a magic academy?" Little Bruce used all his strength to lift his head and asked with some difficulty.

"Yes, this is Kamar-Taj Magic Academy."

"You just mentioned... Sorcerer Supreme, what is his name?"

"I don't know his name, but I know his surname is 'Strange', he is an American, and his nationality is different from the vast majority of people here."

The three children looked at each other. Little Bruce lay back down and whispered in the almost endless dizziness: "There's also a share from Dean Strange..."

"You said most people here are not Americans?"

"There are some, but after all, the academy is established in Asia, and the mages of the previous generation were mostly Asians, and their range of activities was also in Asia, so there will be more students from various Asian countries, for example, I am from India."

"But your English is very good."

"Because my family background is very good. Although I don't really want to mention those old stories, I am a member of the high caste, from the Kshatriya, so I can go out to study alone."

"Which other countries' people are there?" Harley asked intermittently. Anyway, they couldn't do anything except lie like corpses now, so they could only understand the information as much as possible.

"There are many, China, Japan, India, Singapore, of course there are also Americans and Europeans, and quite a few exchange students from magic organizations all over the world." Shilila's voice was very soft, making people sleepy. Under her soft narration, the three children roughly understood the difference between this magic academy and Cat Getan Magic Academy.

First of all, this is an oriental magic academy. Although the students come from various countries, at least more than half are Asians. Because of Strange, there are also many Americans, and then Europeans and extremely rare Australians.

But this is not strange, because this world is not just this one magic academy. The vast majority of countries have their own magic organizations, some are tied to public belief, and some are independent, living in seclusion.

Secondly, this academy does not adopt the academy system, but the ordinary grade and class system. There is no major division, but there are elective courses. Currently, there are 11 grades including five years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of high school. There are also many more students than Cat Getan Magic Academy, and there are already more than 1,000 students together now.

And the dean of this school is Dean Strange whom they saw at Cat Getan Magic Academy. Obviously, that title of "Sorcerer Supreme" comes from this universe.

After lying on the bed for a while, the three of them fell asleep several times due to dizziness. The oxygen-deficient situation was finally relieved. They had a little more spirit, but they were still required not to exercise vigorously, so they could only drink tea and eat snacks around the small table in the middle on the hard large bed that looked like a kang and a tatami.

Shilila helped them peel melon seeds on the side, and then introduced to them: "If there are no accidents, you should all go to elementary school. What grade have you read to in ordinary society?"

Little Bruce's suspicious personality made him not fully trust the people in this school, so he deliberately shrugged and said: "That's not important. We don't really like going to school. Perhaps the magic academy will be more interesting. There shouldn't be so many annoying rules here, right?"

Shilila turned her head and sized him up from head to toe. Those light brown eyes looked very calm. She sighed lightly and said: "You'd better not hold too much hope. Almost every American student who comes here will be very sad in the first few weeks. The academic pressure here is much greater than where you are."

"I've heard long ago that schools in Asia are particularly terrifying." Barry shrank his neck and said: "The senior students there have to take classes for twelve hours a day. If it were me, I would go crazy."

Shilila's movements paused. She pursed her lips and said: "I know you might have many beautiful fantasies about the magic academy, but I'm afraid this place is not the same as what you imagine."

"Specifically referring to what?"

"You'll know when you go to class."

Soon, Master Song led several other mages in. She put her hands together and bowed to the three children, and said: "Sorry, this is our mistake, making you suffer, but please don't be afraid, this will not cause any damage to you, and it will be good for your cardiopulmonary function after you get used to it."

"The Sorcerer Supreme has already explained your situation to me. The two boys will go to the second grade of the elementary school department, and the girl will go directly to the fourth grade. If you feel you can bear it, or even have spare energy, you can choose to skip grades later."

After speaking, Master Song waved her hand to the two mages behind her. They brought over school uniforms, wands, and necessary supplies on a tray.

The school uniform of Kamar-Taj Magic Academy is dark brown, like a simplified version of the tight-sleeved clothing in Hanfu. The cuffs and trouser cuffs are tightened, and the belt is also tightened. Although it is not as luxurious and graceful as the wide-sleeved robe, it gives people a capable and clever feeling.

"Sorry, your wands cannot be activated now, but you will probably have your first wand usage class in three days. Follow me now, I'll take you to the dormitory."

The three children followed behind Master Song, passed through the long suspended corridor, walked through the terrifying wooden trestle road, and after being baptized by the wind and snow, they arrived at the second floor of the main building on the far left. Standing in the corridor, Master Song reached out and pointed to both sides and said.

"This side is the male dormitory, and this side is the female dormitory. They are all four-person collective dormitories, but they are not full yet. You can choose to share a room with others or use a dormitory alone."

Then they visited the dormitory, which is very different from the dormitory of Cat Getan Magic Academy. In general, it is all oriental style, wooden floors, walls, and doors, Ming-style furniture, solid wood large beds. Every place is cold and hard, not soft at all, but has a special elegance.

None of these three children had lived in the East, so they were very novel about this, looking here and touching there. At least Harley was very satisfied with her future life. She stood at the corner of the corridor and said.

"Although I know this must be the plan of those professors, it's actually not bad here, right? And it looks like the magic here is completely different from that world."

Little Bruce stared at the wand in his hand that looked like a small wooden stick thoughtfully, and then he nodded and said: "I agree, we should familiarize ourselves with the situation here first, but we must find the way back."

"Let's go back and tidy up the dormitory first." Barry glanced at the sky in the blizzard outside and continued: "Then hurry up and adjust the jet lag, otherwise we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Then the three of them parted ways. Little Bruce and Barry went to the male dormitory together, and Harley returned to the female dormitory alone. She chose to use a dormitory alone, mainly because she didn't know any oriental language at all, which was very rare in this school. She had to learn Chinese or Japanese first before she could communicate fluently with others.

Just when Harley was worried about the large bed that was a bit too hard for her, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Harley walked over to open the door. Appearing outside the door was a girl who looked much younger than her, but also a white person with black hair and green eyes.

"Hello, I heard you moved next door to me. Are you also an American?"

"Yes, my name is Harley Quinzel, I'm from... uh, an East Coast city." Harley thought for a while, but still swallowed the word Cat Getan, mainly because she was afraid of scaring the child.

"Hello, Helen Stark, a first-year student who just enrolled this year. Because I can't speak Chinese either, I can only live alone. I think we two can be companions. I'm from New York."

"New York? Alright, come in. Do you know any way to make this bed a bit softer? I'm sure my waist and shoulders are protesting."

Harley took Helen to the bed in her room. Helen heard what she said and immediately waved her hand and said: "Oh, I forgot you are transfer students, you shouldn't be able to use wands yet? I'll do it."

After speaking, Helen reached out and pointed, a purple light flew out from her fingertips, and with a "bang", a soft large mattress fell onto the bed.

"Wow! So cool! Is this your magic?"

"To be precise, it's divine power. I have divine blood, but I usually tell them this is a powerful 'wandless spell'."
