The photo shows Jennifer, dressed in holy knight armor, kneeling on one knee as she receives the knight's sword from Latis, who plays the princess, completing the knighthood ceremony. The knight slightly raises her head, her eyes revealing a hint of admiration and unwavering conviction.
"Looks familiar..."
He took out another photo from the dimensional gap.
In almost identical compositions, the simulated knight tightly grasps the princess's hand during his investiture. The knight's expression is joyful yet tinged with a wild aggression, while the princess appears dazed and allows herself to be manipulated.
"Grass!"
Latis suppressed the urge to complain, put away the two photos, and sighed.
"As expected, all little knights, no matter what kind they are, are lovable!"
He looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and smiled.
"I'm pulling someone along; we must make sure our lives are a happy ending!"
……
……
"My name is Silver Hur, the same as the kingdom's silver coin, which reflects my hopes for the future."
Yin Xiu looked in the mirror, sighed as she watched her youthful and vibrant chest rise and fall in the morning sunlight, wrapped the long corset around her again and again, and put on her faded, washed uniform jacket.
Unfortunately, my financial luck has always been poor. Even with my best efforts, my standard of living hasn't improved; on the contrary, it's gotten worse.
She approached the mirror and meticulously applied a fake mustache under the illumination of the magic crystal chandelier, then put on a top hat and black-rimmed glasses.
"I absolutely refuse to believe that my poverty stems from my tiny hobby of collecting antiques and historical artifacts. Tsk, everyone needs a hobby, right? I'm much better off than that shut-in in the group who loves buying magical dolls."
Silver Xiu sat back on the bed, hesitated for a moment, then put on a pair of straight-leg trousers over her rough pantyhose before walking to the entrance to put on her high-heeled mid-calf boots.
"After disguising myself, I'm 177 centimeters tall, and no one would guess my true identity...tsk, except for the principal, since they do record identities when you start working."
She picked up her huge handbag, checked the several outfits inside, nodded, and walked out of the apartment building at No. 21 Tianhai Street.
There's a reason why I bring so many outfits with me every day. As for the reason…
SilverShull touched the fake beard on his chin, glanced at Latis's back as he slid down the stair railing, and couldn't help but peek out.
"Kids these days are so energetic... Where were we? Oh, as for the reason..."
……
SilverShuffle suddenly snapped out of his reverie, looked at Latis, who was sitting in his seat taking notes with a serious expression, and coughed, covering his mouth with his fist.
"In short, the creation of spells must follow three principles: safety, repeatability, and practicality. Of course, for wild mages, these three are not within their consideration, but our academy mages must abide by these principles because it concerns the internal point weighting of the academy's beacon. Students who release too many useless spells will find it difficult to get approval to unlock spells through the magic network once they are flagged by the cyber police..."
After class, SilverShuffle yawned, put away his magic notebook on the table, and said to the scattered students in the classroom:
"That concludes this week's spell construction class. If you still have any questions, please listen to the replays of the Magic Notes. I will answer your questions in detail next Saturday."
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw Latis, who was sitting in the first row, jump up, run to her, and say with a strange, grimacing expression:
"Teacher, teacher, I have another question. For folk spells on the magic network, if their spell descriptions are written very strangely, will they be considered as trash spells?"
“Uh…” Yin Xiuer scratched his head and said, “It probably doesn’t count. Most folk spell descriptions are very strange. Some say how hard they worked to create the spell, some offer friendly reminders about the spell’s side effects, and some even hope to crowdfund magic to create the next spell…”
She rubbed her temples helplessly, grabbed her braid and tucked it behind her collar, then picked up the top hat from the table, put it on, and continued:
"As long as your spell meets at least two of the three principles, it will basically not be judged as a useless spell. To be honest, there are just too many useless spells on the magic network... Even if the cyber police searched for them from morning till night, they wouldn't be able to find them all. Therefore, only those spells with high harm are likely to be judged..."
"Oh~" Latis looked enlightened, then his expression turned serious, and he asked:
"Yesterday I saw a sign that said, 'Unrivaled at the Third Ring Level, Number One Mid-Tier Mage,' and I heard it was written by you, Teacher Yin, right?"
Yin Xiu immediately looked embarrassed. She loosened her tightly buttoned collar, chuckled awkwardly, and said:
"Okay, I guess so... Haha, I'm a little bit interested in ancient culture, so I occasionally help write sentences like this. If you don't like it, I won't write them anymore, haha..."
Latis scratched his head. He had originally come to confront the teacher aggressively, but he hadn't expected this teacher to be so nice. So he decided to let it go.
"It's alright, it's well written, keep up the good work!"
Latis laughed heartily, offered some encouragement to Teacher Yin, and walked out of the classroom.
……
……
"What a strange student, it's like he's the one encouraging me..."
Yin Xiu looked in the bathroom mirror, took off her uniform, changed into a set of ornately decorated aristocratic clothes, then straightened her handbag, took out two sideburn stickers, and stuck them on both sides of her cheeks.
"The tastes and trends of the nobility are always so strange, but it's good, it helps to conceal their true nature. Ah, it's so hard for me to keep people from doubting the quality of my lesson preparation because I teach at three schools at the same time..."
She sighed softly, took off her black-rimmed glasses, and put on a monocle.
"Time to go teach at Queen's Academy. Running around like this every day is exhausting... Sigh, but the thought of making money instantly cheers me up. Go, SilverShuffle!"
She looked at herself in the mirror, clenched her fist, and chuckled softly. Suddenly, she saw the horrified look in the eyes of the female student who had just entered, and immediately turned around in shock, shouting:
"Don't……"
Amidst the screams of the female students, Yin Xiuer fled Qing Teng Academy in a disheveled state.
……
……
"Good morning, students. Sorry I'm late... Our class today..."
Silvers walked into the classroom with a smile, and was about to say some polite aristocratic words as usual when he suddenly noticed Latis sitting in the first row, staring at him with wide eyes.
"In this class..." Her train of thought faltered for a few seconds, then she quickly recovered, pretending to adjust her monocle as she wiped the sweat from her nose, her face slightly flushed, and said:
"Yes, we've been discussing some questions people have about the 'Diplomacy' course. Hmm, let me take a look at the points of confusion that you've submitted in your magic notebooks..."
SilverShuffle took a deep breath, glanced again at Latis who was staring intently at him, subtly cast a "calming spell" on himself, and opened his magic notebook.
"The main question people have about diplomacy is what exactly mages who are not part of the core negotiating team can do abroad."
"This relates to the ultimate diplomatic objective of our Queen's Academy, which is mainly overseen by Principal Zerris. The ultimate goal is to spread the Magic Network to all parts of the Atlantic continent."
"What is meant by spreading the magic network? As we all know, there were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walk on them, they become roads. The magic network is the same. As mages who are attached to the magic network, when you go to a place where there is no magic network, the magic network link on your body will subtly change the distribution and structure of the local magic elements. And after many such changes, the magic network will spread..."
"Of course, places without the magic network are still somewhat dangerous for mages. Therefore, Principal Zerris's current strategy is to implement an international exchange program. Once they return, they will naturally spread the magic network. However, this matter still needs to be considered carefully..."
……
"I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles..."
The bell rang, and SilverShull wiped his sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, took out his magic notebook from his bag, and organized the course materials inside.
Suddenly, she noticed Latis's wide eyes sweeping over her handbag. Her face paled instantly, and she silently repeated to herself:
"Oh no, he's seen this bag before... I have to get out of here, get out of here!"
Silver Hugh grabbed her bag and rushed outside, her face pale. At the same time, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Latis had paused and reached out his hand. She panicked even more and ran away as fast as she could.
"How come Gin-sensei runs so fast..."
Latis blankly lowered his hand, picked up the magic notebook on the podium, and glanced at it silently.
"If I hadn't confirmed his identity from the spell information, I really wouldn't have guessed... Holy crap, the magic notebook of Bogu Academy? Teacher Yin is going to teach at Bogu Academy? Damn, I'm so tired of teaching..."
He scratched his head, looked at the bright sun outside, and sighed.
"It's almost noon, I really want to go home and eat watermelon... Sigh, Gintoki is definitely in big trouble if he doesn't bring his magic notebook, I'd better go and bring it to him..."
Latis stuffed the magic notebook into his backpack, humming a little tune as he walked out of the classroom.
……
……
"Money is hard to earn, and food is hard to eat!"
Yin Xiu'er sat in the short-distance carriage, took out her makeup bag, and applied dark circles to her eyes.
"What did Bogu Academy teach this week... the permeation of magical materials or the shear force of structures? I forgot, I'll go check my notes in class..."
She stretched her tired body after a morning of work, took off her aristocratic robe, and changed into a simple pair of work clothes.
"Speaking of which, who exactly is that student? How come I see him at both Green Ivy Academy and Queen's Academy? That's terrifying!"
The image of Latis flashed through Silver's mind, and he sighed and shook his head.
"But judging from this, he must be a very diligent student. Tsk, thinking about it this way, he's much better than the other students in my class! If my classroom was full of students like that, I wouldn't have to worry about teaching evaluations and bonuses! I'd be financially independent right away!"
She paid the coachman a few silver shills for the fare, and amidst the coachman's bewildered gaze, entered the Bogu Academy dressed in a completely different manner.
Good afternoon, students...
Silver Shore walked into the classroom and breathed a sigh of relief after looking around and finding that Latis was finally gone.
"Let me see where we are on our progress this week. We talked about..."
She looked at the magic notebook that was no longer in her bag, and her face turned deathly pale.
"Where are my notes? Oh no! They contain different course schedules and teaching materials for each college. If I lose them, I definitely won't be able to continue teaching from memory..."
Silver Xiuer frantically rummaged through her handbag, her heart pounding. The braided pigtail tucked inside her collar made her feel a little breathless.
"If, if the teaching progress stalls, I won't be able to collect the teaching materials from all three schools at the same time... That won't be a small problem; I might get fired by all three schools!"
Tears welled in her eyes as she anxiously prepared to apologize to her students and announce the suspension of the class, when a magic notebook was thrust in front of her.
"Eh?……"
SilverShul stared blankly at Latis, who was grinning, and saw him laugh heartily, saying:
"Sorry, teacher, I went to get some medicine, I'm late!"
Chapter 115 Is black tea enough?
"The reason why magical materials science is considered the most important trend of this century is fundamentally because it is the cornerstone of magical creation technology. From spires and walls to small magic gathering towers, all these inventions are based on the development of materials science..."
"Do they have any technological sophistication? Not really. They're just controlled by an internal magic array, relying on the material's own permeability to magical essence to achieve storage, dynamic balance, and reverse projection..."
"And you mages, as those who possess magic engines, are practically like having a magic gathering tower built into your body. However, unlike magic gathering towers that can attract magic energy when upright and release it when reversed, magic engines don't have the function of releasing magic energy..."
SilverShuffle closed his magic notebook, nodded to Latis who was pretending to listen to the lecture but actually surfing the magic network, and then said to the students in the classroom while tidying up the teaching materials:
"In short, start with your own magic engine and meticulously study various aspects of materials science. Only then will you have a sufficient foundation to research application areas such as timed spellcasters, regional magic network construction bases, and magical vehicles on your path to higher levels. Alright, that concludes today's Q&A session. I hope to see more thoughtful reflections in your submitted magic notes next week..."
