What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 12 Are you interested in being my disciple?
"Maybe."

Annie spread her hands and said: "After all, the academy has hardly taught space magic knowledge, and the only ideas I have are what the Mr. Magician told me back then."

"What did he say?" Colin asked curiously.

"He said that in this world, there is no real space magic. None!"

Annie organized more precise language while recalling, and finally said with confirmation: "That's what he said."

"No way."

Colin couldn't believe it: "I remember Teacher Thomas also listed several space-type magic patterns, although it was indeed so complicated that even he couldn't inscribe it himself.

"Also, 1500 years ago, Sir Laxili had roughly perfected the theoretical basis of space magic in "23 Conjectures on Alpha Surface Domains."

"Who knows."

Annie spread her hands: "I didn't feel too relieved when I heard it. After all, that magician is only a beginner, and may only be a little stronger than Prince."

After she said this, she immediately explained: "Of course I don't underestimate Mr. Prince, he is a good person."

"Yes, Mr. Princes is indeed a good man." Colin touched the 7 golden crowns sewn to death in his underwear pocket, and he agreed very much.

The two poor people silently thanked the donor for two seconds, and then continued the discussion.

"Actually, we don't need to care about these at all. Space magic is a high-end field, and it is impossible to get in touch with those who are not above the intermediate level." Annie said indifferently.

When Colin was about to answer, he suddenly heard Annie shout: "Don't move!"

He subconsciously stilled his body.

Seeing that Anne Heckert was full of curiosity and surprise, she lowered her excited voice and said:
"Colin, you have a bird on your head."

"Huh?" Colin was stunned.

"Yes, there is a colorful magpie sitting on your hat, which is very beautiful."

He went out on his day off today, and he didn't wear the college's white apprentice robe, but an ordinary linen jacket and long-sleeved jacket. Because the weather was getting colder, he matched it with a hard flat cap.

It was unknown whether the bird was too light or the hat was too hard, but Colin didn't feel it at all.

He subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but Anne sternly stopped him: "Don't move, you will scare it away."

Ke Lin was speechless for a while, dare not stop on your head, so you are not afraid of it shitting, right?
However, he himself found it quite novel, and tried to roll his eyelids up to see what kind of bird dared to break ground on his head.

"This magpie is so beautiful."

Annie observed for a while, then slowly stretched out her right hand, intending to tease it with her fingers. Originally, she thought that the bird would fly away immediately, but unexpectedly, it just flapped its wings twice to scare the teaser, then kicked its legs and landed. onto Colin's shoulders.

Colin finally felt its existence, and at the same time turned his head slightly, seeing its whole picture.

Adult magpies can grow up to half a meter long, but this strangely colored guy is not much bigger than a sparrow.

Don't know if it's a special breed or a juvenile.

The strangest thing is that the stripes on its body from head to tail are so colorful that it looks like a rainbow at first glance.

Colin couldn't help imitating Anne and leaning towards it with one finger. Unlike before, the little bird lowered its head very cooperatively, allowing Colin to stroke the soft feathers on top of its head with his fingers.

"It's not fair, why can you touch it."

Unconvinced, Annie stretched out her hand again, but what greeted her was a beak.

It doesn't hurt, but it hurts.

"People say that when a magpie comes, there must be a happy event. Maybe you will have a happy event soon." Annie looked at Ke Lin who was teasing the bird with envy.

Colin smiled, and didn't care about the little bird any more. He let it rest on his shoulder, and said to Anne:

"I suddenly thought of a question."

"what?"

"If it is true as you said before, there is no space magic in this world, then some conditions in my previous proof process have to be reconsidered."

"What conditions?" Annie reluctantly looked away from the magpie.

"Let me think about it." While thinking, Colin knelt on the ground looking for the handwriting that he had written before, and the magpie had to move its feet hopping because of his change of posture.

"here."

Ke Lin used a stone to circle a section of the messy handwriting on the floor, and then fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said:

"According to the previous statement, the progressive double multiplication method cannot be used here, but there seems to be no problem with the third-level fraction..."

"what!"

Colin suddenly yelled and laughed loudly: "Annie, what is the last one of the six applicable conditions for Ubern's constant?"

Anne Heckert had actually been unable to keep up with his train of thought for a long time, so that this basic question was almost stuck. She recalled it for a while, and was about to answer, but heard a strange voice sounding beside her:
"Single-round functions must take values ​​in an open interval."

"That's right!" Colin didn't realize the difference in the voice at all, and almost jumped up excitedly, scaring the magpie into the air, and it took a while before it landed again.

"I understand." He continued to write on the ground as if no one else was there. When he wrote that there was not enough space, he even moved the table away, and his whole body was almost lying on the ground.

Annie looked at the strange old man who suddenly appeared in front of her with a look of surprise.

An old magic robe that has been washed white, a black pointed soft hat, white beard and hair, wrinkled, and a shiny black spoon-shaped pipe dangling from his mouth.

Because Colin was lying on the ground, he sat on Colin's original bench. This old man dressed as a typical magician, who should have been out of tune with the streets of the slums, looked natural.

Annie was about to speak, but was stopped by a simple gesture from the other party. Although she didn't know who the person in front of her was, she had to obey no matter the age of the other party or the status of an official magician.

Ke Lin was still immersed in his own world, and almost said to himself: "The distribution of the third-level scores in the 75F diagonal module follows the Lobrach's law, which is simply...another extremely beautiful mathematical conclusion... ..."

At this moment, a voice asked: "Why can't the semi-elliptical module?"

Colin was taken aback for a moment, then fell into deep thought. After a long while, he murmured: "It's not impossible, but only the six applicable conditions that satisfy the Ubern constant at the same time..."

"Why the Ubern constant?" the voice asked again.

"Because..." Colin felt that his throat was a little dry: "Because progressive double multiplication cannot be applied to a single round function..."

"Why does the positive value part of the single cycle function also satisfy Lobrassy's law?"

"Because...it and the basic calculation module of the third-level grade..."

When Colin said this, his rapid writing movement stopped suddenly, and then he opened his mouth wide and opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe what he had written.

Time seemed to stand still.

Annie looked at Colin, who was like a statue, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a noisy voice from a distance.

She looked up and saw Dean Donald Garr, Prince and others standing not far away, seeming to be out of breath from running.

Anne couldn't figure out how these people came to the streets of the slums where even horse-drawn carriages could not pass, but her first reaction was still to stand up and greet them.

But don't wait for her to move.

"Snapped."

Colin, who was lying on the ground, suddenly dropped the stone in his hand, making a crisp sound.

This time, he startled himself.

Then he was short of breath, and said in an almost trembling voice:
"They...are the same..."

All eyes were on Colin lying on the ground like a wild dog.

Annie poked his arm with her hand, wanting to remind him to meet the dean and others together.

Colin just woke up like a dream.

Looked up.

The goal is an old and smiling face.

"Your name is Colin Wayne?" came the old man's gentle voice.

Colin was still lying on the ground at this time, and nodded subconsciously.

"Nice to meet you, let me introduce myself." The 96-year-old magister took off the pipe in his mouth and said with a smile:
"My name is Roman... Roman Sagan, are you interested in being my disciple?"
