The magic department of Reef Academy has never been taken seriously. There is no way around it. The school itself is not first-rate, and is famous for training warriors. Naturally, it is weaker in magic. It is even more depressing that it is in the same place as Edinburgh Royal College. The mermaids' attainments in magic are the best among the sea clans.
Therefore, the magic department of Reef Academy usually has a lot of people, but it is very deserted. Many people come here just to get a diploma. As for what kind of magic they can learn, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, they usually won't choose a combat profession after graduation.
But this year's magic department is a little different. It has been a bit bustling recently. Almost every student passing by can hear the whooshing and booming sounds in the classrooms, as well as countless noisy noises, making the surroundings uneasy. Some students complained to the principal, but unfortunately there was no response. The principal seemed to appreciate this kind of excitement very much.
And the classroom was indeed filled with magic. All students were experimenting on the spot without caring about anything else, competing with each other and learning from each other. It really felt like a great leap forward, and it was actually effective. Before they knew it, everyone's understanding of magic was improving.
Yamilah is indeed a very avant-garde teacher. Although her own style is a hundred years behind the times, she encourages students' new ideas. We should not give up on something because of fear. Although magic research is dangerous, it is also full of fun.
Just like the Bei people, most of them are weak in magical talent. Of course, freaks like Caesar are not among them, but that doesn't mean that the Bei people can't release magic. The fact is that the sea people, due to their extraordinary talents, have unknowingly fallen into a misunderstanding, that is, only talented people can use magic, and those without talent should not waste their energy. It is this idea that has hindered the development of other races.
It's true that mermaids do have innate advantages, and not just a little bit. But this does not hinder other races. Those races that think they are not good enough are completely doomed. Once they lose confidence, they can't do anything well. Caesar's existence allows them to establish this confidence.
Why can humans do everything while in the eyes of other races they should be able to do nothing? It is because humans really have no talent. But at some point, humans became one of the most outstanding races because they can learn everything. It is not because humans are so smart, but that they have formed a kind of self-confidence that there is nothing in this world that they cannot do.
The same goes for the sea people, they are all an intelligent race. If humans can learn it, why can't they? Of course, they will encounter some difficulties in learning magic. In the past, when they encountered a bottleneck, the general practice of the sea people was to give up because they thought they had reached their limit. But this time it was different. Amirah and Caesar kept encouraging everyone to try and be attentive.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Soon everyone in the class learned level 2 magic, which included some excellent magic from humans and others improved by everyone based on their own characteristics. To thank Caesar for his contribution, he was elected as the head of the first grade magic department. Unfortunately, when everyone learned level 2 magic, Caesar was still spinning on the water ball, which was strange. Those spells had no effect on him at all, as if they were chanting a sutra. The elements simply ignored him. If he didn't have a super compression magic, he really couldn't bear it.
The people in the class also thought of all kinds of strange ways to help Caesar. Some even suspected that it was because Caesar was a virgin. Maybe after becoming a man, that obstacle would disappear. Of course, the person who said this was almost drowned by the girls in the class.
However, Caesar had long been accustomed to this problem. If he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't force it. Why go into a dead end? Compression magic provided him with a way. Most people had to learn the fourth-level magic before they could get in touch with this advanced and dangerous compression magic, but Caesar made a direct leap. Perhaps he was too talented and was only suitable for advanced knowledge.
Caesar could only comfort himself in this way. He watched everyone's water dragons flying in the sky and could only feel depressed. He sprayed water balls, water balls, and more water balls. The ball next to him sympathetically sprayed bubbles with him.
After class, the girls naturally have their own groups. It may also be due to Caesar's recent "mediocre" performance that he has received less and less attention. However, this is better for Caesar as it is much quieter. However, the boys are more lively. A group of people insisted on dragging Caesar to the bar to drink. Originally, the school prohibited this, but this rule is in name only and the school does not care much. After all, they come from different ethnic groups and have many different habits. Many rules are not suitable to be enforced. As long as nothing happens, they will turn a blind eye.
Everybody changed their clothes. They couldn't go out in their silly school uniforms. More than twenty people headed to the tavern in the city. It would have been fine if they hadn't mentioned the wine. As soon as they heard about Caesar, they instantly craved for it. He used to be a big drinker. It was all because of the old man who had corrupted his minors and made him a little drunkard. He had been so busy during this period that he had forgotten about it. Caesar was a big drinker.
"Haha, Boss, this isn't a high-end place, but the wine here is top-notch and very popular!"
The one who was shouting was a fellow from the Fei Shi tribe. He was a citizen of the Mermaid King City, born and raised there, and was very familiar with the place.
"...Can you please just call me by my name instead of making me sound like a prison guard?"
Everyone burst into the tavern with laughter. Although the front was small, it was very spacious inside. The decoration was very simple, but very practical. The tables, chairs and benches were all very solid. After all, fighting was commonplace here, so ordinary household items would have to be replaced every day.
Most of the people in the tavern are mercenaries and adventurers, and of course there are also many hot beauties. Any girl who dares to come here is capable, so don't mess with her easily. Of course, there are always some blind men who are drunk.
It was the first time for many students to come to such a place, and with so many people they were extremely excited. A group of people circled an area and sat down, called the bartender over and ordered a bucket of wine.
Smelling the wine, Caesar knew that the quality was not bad. Compared to this kind of place, it was already pretty good, but why did it look so familiar? His neck was itchy, as if something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
The ball tied to Caesar's waist couldn't stand it anymore. This little guy's addiction to alcohol was worse than his master's. He jumped around and wanted to fall down. As soon as Caesar untied it, this guy threw himself at the wine barrel, but his head got stuck on the barrel and he fell down staggeringly, which made everyone burst into laughter again.
