Chapter 102 The Primordial Stone Slab: Proof of the Strongest in the World
This building serves as a multi-disciplinary learning facility, catering to the educational needs of a large number of students. The space is no longer an isolated tower in the traditional sense, but incorporates a series of horizontal expansions, making the spacious building more conducive to learning and activities.
The clusters of interior walls break down the scale of the entire building, and many of the building's corridors, courtyards, beams, terraces, and staircases are designed as modern art-style canyons, forest trails, habitats, cliffs, and open-air theaters, presenting a miraculous indoor landscape.
Fourth floor, Magical Engineering Research Area.
A special lecture hall, resembling a giant artificial valley, interwoven with forest elements and natural light from the skylights, creates a fresh and unique learning environment.
In this spacious classroom, seats extend in a stepped form, almost fully occupied at this time.
Unlike the Sage Academy's other required courses, which are divided into small classes, this "General Introduction to Magical Genealogy" is a required course for students from both the Sage Academy and the Magical Engineering Academy.
Therefore, the course brings together students from both academies for a large lecture-style teaching model.
In the back row of the classroom, there are still a few empty seats around Lan Qi and Hyperion.
In the past few days, legends about the "Capital Bully Trio" have begun to circulate on campus—
The strongest hounds of the student council in generations, their first sortie destroyed the dojo of the Fighter's Soul team, angering the honest Senior Cier Winnie, who chased after them, her face flushed red, and finally burst into tears.
"As expected of a half-demon and a Lan Qi, they look even less human than they do in the Shadow World..."
Many freshmen from the Magical Engineering Academy who saw them for the first time were amazed, whispering in low voices.
On the natural wooden stump seats in the back row.
Hyperion is studying as diligently as ever.
What is rare to see is that Lan Qi is not listless.
He is also frowning and concentrating very seriously, listening to this lesson.
This is the only required course that does not torment Lan Qi, as it is almost entirely about important theories of magic and magical engineering, without the need for spellcasting skills.
And the teaching teacher, is also the one he and Hyperion are relatively familiar with, the very gentle Teacher Theresa who was responsible for scheduling them to participate in the exam during the third round of entrance examinations.
It seems that Teacher Theresa at the very front of the classroom is about to talk about something important.
Even Lan Qi sat up a little straighter.
"There are thirty-two [Primordial Stone Tablets] in this world, each of which is the pinnacle of epic magic cards, corresponding to the apex of a certain type of magic."
"But unlike normal epic cards that disappear into history, the [Primordial Stone Tablets] can be passed down for eternity!"
On the semi-circular gray wooden podium, Teacher Theresa's voice was clear and infectious, while raising her arm to point to a stone tablet image used as an example on the magic projection screen and its identification effect.
[Primordial Stone Tablet - Wind]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Rarity: Orange Epic]
[Tier: 5]
[Passive Effect: Primordial Stone Tablets cannot be destroyed, only living beings in the present world can soul-bind, and at most one can be bound. Comprehensively enhances all wind-attribute magic, martial skills, equipment, and summons. The stone tablet will unbind upon the death of the soul-binder.]
[Note: All things in the world will be reborn, and the wind will forever blow across this land.]
The three-dimensional rotating projection in the picture is a thin and small ancient stone carving floating slab. The streamlined edges and faint magic纹路 seem to tell the story of thousands of years. The texture of the stone slab is warm and moist, and the color becomes deep and full due to the baptism of time.
On the intricate mysterious magic咒文, those subtle spirals are like the traces of the Milky Way streaking across the night sky, brilliant and hidden, seemingly containing wisdom and deep power that even the annihilation of the world cannot erase.
"This one used for display is the [Primordial Stone Tablet - Wind] held by Grand Priest Loren of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. It is like a product of God, and it seems to be left by ancient sages. There are obvious traces of magical engineering transformation."
Teacher Theresa continued,
"And for the Magical Engineering Academy's magical engineers, just observing the stone tablet itself can greatly improve their understanding of the production of this type of magical道具."
Her voice fell, and immediately, like a stone thrown into a pool, it splashed up a burst of discussion among the students in the classroom.
Teacher Theresa stood calmly on the podium with a smile, opened her water glass and sipped slightly, moisturizing her throat.
The design space of the classroom is open and the perspective is broad, which can be developed into a seminar.
Everyone can raise their questions and ideas, and actively discuss and interact with the teacher.
Teacher Theresa knows that this kind of course needs to mobilize students' learning interests and give students free time for discussion, rather than her simply instilling knowledge.
At this time, under the podium, there was constant discussion among the students next to each other.
"So no wonder our Magical Engineering Academy has a graduation task to visit a stone tablet holder on the mainland and get a chance to observe it!"
"Some senior students who want to save trouble actually run directly to the Sage Academy to find Dean Loren, asking to observe his [Primordial Stone Tablet - Wind]!"
However, Dean Loren is a national powerhouse of the Kingdom of Hutton, and also holds the important position of Grand Priest of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, so of course he is not such a leisurely person.
It is impossible to take out his vital magic cards for the students to study like exhibits.
Correspondingly, Loren will give students some more important Hutton Kingdom public welfare tasks or Church of the Goddess of Destiny tasks.
If the student can complete the test, he will give the "opportunity to observe the stone tablet" as a reward to the student.
In addition, occasionally there will be magical engineering students or even teachers from other allied countries and schools who come to visit Dean Loren every year, and Loren will propose similar fair requirements.
For those who seek knowledge and visit, generally friendly allied countries will give visitors a chance and propose tests similar to Loren's.
Of course, there are also those stone tablet holders who are lonely or have cold personalities or are unreasonable, and will not pay attention to ordinary visitors at all.
"As long as you have a [Primordial Stone Tablet], you are a respected and sought-after big shot, I want one too... By the way, Hyperion, do you know any other [Primordial Stone Tablet] owners besides Dean Loren?"
Lan Qi sighed with a smile to Hyperion next to him.
The two of them often chat casually now. In addition to class time, they also go to Frey to play together. The student council room is a spacious and comfortable place.
However.
Lan Qi's words seemed to touch Hyperion's sad feelings.
A trace of dim sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she dodged away.
Seemingly not wanting Lan Qi to notice.
She just lowered her head and nodded.
