Chapter 309 Apprentices and Carpentry

"This is the first class. I will not explain any advanced spells, but how you should learn while working, work while studying, and gradually become a qualified magician."

In the library, the apprentices sat in groups of three behind four desks, while Green stood under the blackboard and gave lectures to the apprentices.

"Mages have three major indicators: intelligence, magic power, and knowledge! All actions of a mage are aimed at improving these three attributes. When these three indicators reach a certain level, the upgrade and advancement of a mage will come naturally." Green said on the blackboard Three words were written on it, and a blank was left behind, "Intelligence refers to the logical thinking ability of the brain. Warriors exercise their bodies through fighting and sports, so how can mages exercise their brains? Does anyone know?" Green looked at the students below the podium.

"Exercising by reading?" A teenager raised his hand.

"Before answering the question next time, raise your hand first. I will answer after the roll call. Please stand up when answering." Green paused, "Okay, do it again. Raise your hand." Green said to the apprentice.

The apprentice raised his hand obediently.

"Tom, answer." Green called by name.

The teenager stood up: "Exercise by reading."

"Very well. Sit down." Green motioned Tom to sit down.

Tom sat back shyly in his chair.

Green made a notation on the roster.

"Reading, computing, thinking, etc., as long as they can activate the brain and cause a burden on the brain, they can exercise the brain. The greater the burden on the brain, the better the exercise effect, but if the intensity is too high, it may It hurts the brain... Mona, send this to everyone." Green pointed to the twelve iron boards with magic circles printed on them, and asked the teaching assistant Mona to distribute them to the students.

"Mona~" Mona and others held up the wooden boards and sent them to each table respectively.

Green: "I think you have all seen the task at the entrance of the library. Now, take the magic circle in your hands and carefully observe the magic circle on it to see if you can see anything."

The apprentices picked up the wooden boards one after another and observed the magic circle on it.

"Did you find anything?" Green asked after a while.

None of the apprentices spoke.

"Then let me ask it another way. Do you feel unwell?"

This time, an apprentice raised his hand after hesitating for a while.

"Jerry." Green nodded.

"Teacher, I feel a little dizzy after watching it for a long time."

"Not bad! You will get dizzy after reading the rune for a long time. When people observe the rune, they will try to understand the meaning in the rune, which will cause a certain burden on the brain. If the intelligence attribute is not enough or the reading time is too long, it will Feeling dizzy, dizzy, and decreased concentration. Of course, not only the rune is the same, ordinary text will also feel uncomfortable after reading for a long time. So your first task is to get used to the rune, and the magic circle sent to you Carve it out." Green paused, "Next, let me talk about some carving requirements."

Green picked up a wooden board, hung it on the blackboard, pointed to the magic circle on the wooden board, and drew a set of data on the blackboard.

"All lines on the magic array are 1mm wide and 1mm deep, and the error accuracy cannot exceed 10%. In other words, the width and depth of the lines must be maintained between 0.9~1.1mm. If the accuracy is exceeded in one place, the entire magic array will be considered scrapped!"

Hearing Green's words, all the apprentices couldn't help but take a deep breath: "The depth and width are 1 mm? The accuracy requires 10%?"

Green waited for the apprentices to think for a while, and after understanding the difficulty of this request, he continued: "The price of each magic circle is 0.5 gold coins. If two magic circles are scrapped, then even if the carving is completed, there will only be credits, no Remuneration. Students who complete the carving of the magic circle within a month will be considered to have completed the apprenticeship assessment, and those who have scrapped three magic arrays and failed to complete the assessment..." Green paused, "Leave on your own. Even 'carefully' People who can't do it are not suitable to be a mage."

Hearing Green's words, the apprentices couldn't help swallowing their saliva, feeling a burst of pressure.

"Sculpting a magic circle not only needs to exercise your intellectual attributes, but also requires a certain amount of strength and carpentry skills. So in the afternoon, I invited Tracy, a carpenter from the town, to give you carpentry lessons. In addition, strength training You can't let it go either. Starting tomorrow, every morning from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am is the time for physical exercise, and Sylvana will be responsible for exercising your strength and physical fitness."

Carpentry class?Physical exercise?Are we really here to be magic apprentices?

Many apprentices couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts.

"Eh? I feel like a mage and a warrior are quite similar..." A dwarf apprentice scratched his beard, with a smile on his face.The dwarf is still very confident in his physical fitness and strength.

Soon, the morning class will be over.And in the afternoon there is carpentry class...

The apprentices soon got busy and started working with wood every day.

In the morning, the apprentices need to receive two hours of physical training, and then they need to study some courses and homework assigned by Greene during their free time. Green only has two classes a week, so most of the time the apprentices need to study by themselves , if you encounter problems, Green will answer them in class.In the afternoon, the apprentices need to pick up the carpenter's ruler, chisel, and wooden knife, and start their daily carpentry career...

In the apprentice dormitory, Tom looked at the calluses on his hands, with a tangled expression on his face: "Is this really the training of magic apprentices? Why do I feel weird?"

Tom's roommate Jerry was holding a knife and carving a wooden sculpture: "Master Green is a genius, and his training method is naturally different from your grandfather's training method."

"Okay." Tom threw himself on the bed.

In another bedroom.

The dwarf was looking at the wood in his hands with a look of irritability: "Ah! Ah! Ah! This job is so annoying! I would rather chop wood with an ax than do this kind of work with a knife! "

"I thought carving was useless before, but now it seems that the instructor's course is still a bit reasonable." The halfling smiled and played with his carving, "Come on, didn't you say you want to become the first dwarf mage? In this world, there are not many mages who are willing to teach dwarves magic."

……

Engraving is not an easy task, not to mention that the precision requirements are so high!The punishment of leaving after three failures also made the apprentices afraid to take action easily.But there are always some people who are not afraid of death!

A week later, when Green appeared in class again, the three apprentices who were more confident in their carpentry ability handed over the magic circle they had carved.
