Chapter 2569

If there is any difference between the Robins in the Schiller universe and other universes, besides them having Bruce instead of Batman, in terms of power, they have a skill that no other Robin in other universes has, and that is magic.

Because the magical world of this Schiller universe experienced a great catastrophe and has been waiting for revival. Taking this opportunity, the knowledgeable people in the magical world—to be precise, the catastrophe itself—opened up the Inner World in Cat Getan and established a Magic Academy here.

A few years later, the Inner World of Cat Getan has been built quite decently. In addition to the Magic Academy, four major ecosystems have been built: the first is the swamp ecosystem belonging to the Green, the second is the Heaven ecosystem used by Bruce to study heavenly things, the third is the Hell ecosystem established with Beelzebub and Azazel, and the next is the Dark ecosystem used to store Barbatos's energy.

The Cat Getan of the Inner World is a projection of the Cat Getan of the real world, so it also possesses all the buildings of the real world, combined with the landscapes constructed by the energy lingering in these ecosystems, which is strange in fantasy, and looks more like Cat Getan than the Cat Getan in the real world now.

In the swamp ecosystem, countless plants and buildings coexist, forming a steel forest interwoven with green and gray. All buildings and roads in the Heaven ecosystem emit light, and sacred singing echoes in the ethereal clouds.

The Hell ecosystem inherits the wild style of most areas of Hell. The highest office building among them was turned into their palace by the demon kings. The international office building was grown with many obsidian spikes, and the interior was also decorated in the retro style that demon kings like. The Dark ecosystem used to store Barbatos's energy is like a haunted area in a horror movie, filled with rich dark energy, and buildings are decaying and corrupting in it, which can be called the most *Silent Hill*-style episode of the Inner World.

Schiller and Sivana's target was not any of these ecosystems, but the Cat Getan Magic Academy located at the intersection of the four areas, which had now been built into a large-sized Hogwarts.

The reason it was larger than Hogwarts was because there were more students themselves, plus those surviving faculty and staff who had nowhere to go, and the astonishing destructive power of the magic here, so the place needed was naturally larger.

Schiller first took Sivana around the school, looked at the scenery of the four ecosystems, introduced the source of power in these sceneries, and then walked into the school with Sivana.

The school was still full of vitality. After walking in from the main entrance, it was a common manor front yard. Gray stone slabs paved the square floor, and the sculpture in the middle of the fountain was a dragon in Western traditional mythology. The porch of the front yard was similar to the Roman Pantheon, composed of Roman columns and arches.

However, at this time, there was a big pit in the square on the right side of the porch. Several students were filling the pit with effort. It looked like some magic wasn't cast well and the square was blown up. On the left hand side, there was a group of people chasing a huge sparrow, which looked like they wanted to do animal experiments, but the animal ran away.

After walking into the front hall, it opened up. Floating petals, dancing elves, and fountain water that flowed down from mid-air but wouldn't wet clothes.

On the right side was a row of busy magic elevators, which went up and down extremely fast under the lingering magic brilliance. Countless students and faculty and staff shuttled between them, seemingly all in a hurry to go to class.

The changes to the four college buildings weren't big. Schiller invited Sivana to visit the Magic Theory College where he taught, located at the highest point of the school, requiring climbing many stairs to get up.

Of course, the elevator was one of the few changes. Those floating stairs were good-looking, but they were too troublesome to walk on, and it was especially easy to fall off, so elevators were installed in the whole school not long after.

However, this time Schiller led Sivana to walk up the stairs around the spire, and by the way, he could overlook the scenery of the entire academy and even most of the Inner World Cat Getan.

"Too magical." Sivana exclaimed, "I have to admit, this is the magical world I dreamed of when I was a child, not that pitch-black space."

"This is already dark enough." Schiller said, "If you have been to the magical world of Maiya, or a place called Kamar-Taj, you will know what a real magical holy land is."

Sivana was very interested in this and strongly requested Schiller to tell him about it, but Schiller said, "When you become principal, you will inevitably go to these places for academic exchanges. You can see for yourself then."

Sivana was suddenly full of expectations for his life as principal.

"It wasn't an accident that you were chosen by him, right?" Schiller asked while walking on the stairs, turning his head to look at Sivana.

"I don't know, but maybe." Sivana smiled and said, "I have always longed for magic, fantasizing that there is a more dreamy world behind this boring and dull world, which can allow me to start a legendary adventure."

"Is it because you really desire it, or are you escaping?"

Sivana lowered his head and stroked the back of his hand, saying, "When my family didn't encounter the accident, it couldn't be called happy. My father never liked me; he only liked my brother, but he never thought so."

"He touted himself as impartial and a good father who could uphold the principle of fairness, but he wasn't at all, and what allowed him to maintain this hypocritical appearance was my excellence."

"I never made mistakes, so he couldn't find a reason to suppress me, until the accident happened, and he finally had a way to pour all his dissatisfaction onto me."

"When I was a child, I could always vaguely feel that something was wrong, but everyone praised him, and I felt very oppressed, urgently wanting to escape, but there was nowhere to escape, so I could only let my spirit fly to escape the awkward, strange reality."

"But is there anything special about this? Don't many children yearn for the magical world?" Sivana asked, "And you said I have no magical talent. How could I be his first choice?"

"It is precisely because you have no magical talent, yet yearn for the magical world so much, that you are his choice." Schiller smiled with some contempt and said, "The easiest people to use in this world are those whose desires and ambitions are completely greater than their abilities. I think the successor he found later is also such a person."

"What exactly is magical talent?" Sivana asked.

Schiller shook his head and said, "In fact, I don't know either, because I'm not a traditional magician. If you want to know, perhaps I can introduce one to you."

They had walked into the spire of the Magic Theory College. This was a huge, wide circular space. Countless arc-shaped bookshelves floated and were scattered in mid-air. The light coming through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows made this place clear at a glance, even the dust in the air could be seen clearly.

Sivana stared at all this with some obsession. He had never thought that peace and tranquility could be fused with epic grandeur so perfectly.

At this time, quite a few students were looking up information here. Some were writing furiously at tables on the ground or fixed to the walls. Seeing Schiller come, they greeted him with smiles one after another.

Schiller walked through the entire circular hall, went out from another door, then went around the stairs on the outer wall to the downstairs, took another elevator to his office, and introduced the current situation of the academy to Sivana here.

Actually, there was no special situation. The academy was operating as usual. The Magic Theory College didn't have as many experimental contents as other colleges. Most of them were reading those difficult big books, and then writing articles.

This could be said to be a fantasy college. The main research work was to dig out theoretical knowledge that might be useful to people now from various obscure and ancient magic classics, write them into articles, and then inspire students in other colleges to start practical research on this.

So the courses here were long-lived species giving lectures, students going back to read books themselves, finding time to get together to hold reading clubs to share and exchange theoretical knowledge they discovered, and starting topics. After the topics were passed, they could start writing articles.

So far, all teaching work was the responsibility of those long-lived creatures from Maiya or other small magic worlds, such as Madame Xanadu and Vivienne and other Ladies of the Lake, several fallen angels under Azazel, and even Lilith.

They didn't need to teach these students anything either, just tell these students the common sense in the era they lived in, and then take them to read books that only they could recognize.

Senior students could basically crack one article a day, and junior students were basically pure story sessions. Angels and demons talked about the War of the Fallen, Maiya creatures talked about the stories of several great destructions of Maiya, and people like Lilith who were related to the Bible basically talked about the real situation of Bible stories.

Schiller took Sivana to sit in on half a class. The lecturer was a demon general, who was blowing and bragging about the brilliant battle achievements of Beelzebub the Great tens of thousands of years ago in front of a group of little beans, speaking with flying saliva.

"What's the point of this?" Sivana asked, "Can this knowledge help them better master magic?"

"Of course not, but humans themselves cannot master magic." Schiller said, "The essence of magic is trading. Humans cannot produce magic energy, and they cannot even completely control how magic energy operates. We are just borrowers."

"So..."

"So these stories are actually to let students understand the magical world, and more importantly, understand the existences that might lend them power in the future, figure out their habits, and understand their tempers, so that they can have more advantages when dealing with them in the future."

"So this is the Intelligence Department." Sivana laughed.

"You can also understand it this way." Schiller nodded, without any intention of denying it. He said, "Just like I said before, if you had understood what kind of person that old man was at the age you were summoned, then all the tragedies that followed wouldn't have happened."

"These stories are essentially to let students understand that although those indescribable powerful existences possess extremely strong power, they are intelligent life, and also have emotions and selfish desires."

"So you can be wary of their power, covet their power, but it's best not to have any worship for them, and you can't treat what they say as the golden rule, otherwise you will definitely die."

"Breaking authority?"

"Exactly. Students see their human side that is no different from themselves, so naturally, they won't worship them as gods. You also made this mistake back then, didn't you?"

Sivana sighed and said, "It wasn't him I worshipped, but magic, but he was really too much like the embodiment of magic."

"Alright, let's not talk about this. I'll take you to see traditional magicians. Then you will lose all beautiful fantasies about magicians."
