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

Chapter 3 Magic Pattern
"I don't know what exactly we need to do?" Colin is not a half-hearted guy like Roy. After getting familiar with his current identity, he also started to get serious.

Jennifer admired Colin's straight-forward style, and said with a smile, "Let me first introduce what I know to you."

"Mr. Prince found a total of four groups of people as assistants. We are one of the groups. Besides the three people here, there is also my good friend Anne Heckert."

Colin nodded, indicating that he knew this classmate.

Hall School of Magic does not have the kind of class system he is familiar with. All the lectures are mixed, that is, he can take whatever courses he wants to take, but the annual assessment will be conducted separately according to the number of years of study.

Generally speaking, as long as the students paid the full sponsorship fee, no matter how bad they were, they could get a certificate similar to a diploma after three years, so they could go back to their hometown to brag and show off.

But if you have more pursuits and want to be an apprentice to a formal magician after graduation, or work as a magic consultant in a mercenary squad or a chamber of commerce, then you must graduate with better grades.

Of course, the best situation is to awaken the spiritual power within three years and become a full-fledged magician, but such people are a minority after all. In the whole year of Hall School of Magic last year, there was only such a precious bump as Prince.

Roy suddenly interjected: "I've always been curious, when Prince Prince met Lord 'Storm Guidance', no matter how you look at it, there will be no intersection between them."

"Great magicians and magisters, there will be special people outside to watch out for talents, not to mention that the colleges will continue to recommend outstanding students from their own schools. Master Roman is approaching a hundred years old, and it is normal to be anxious to find successors..." Jennifer replied After a few words, he frowned again and said, "Roy, we are running out of time, so stop caring about such insignificant things."

"I'll shut up." Roy immediately covered his mouth.

Jennifer ignored him and continued: "The main task of our group is to reduce the friction of the windmill bearings as much as possible. In this regard, according to my research, the new magic windmills built by the Kingdom in recent years are all The solution is to use materials, usually white beech wood that has been soaked in a special magic potion, this material has a smooth surface, extremely high hardness, and a long service life."

Ke Lin was startled when he first heard the word bearing, and realized later that this is not the kind of industrial bearing with inner and outer rings and rolling elements on the earth.

Strictly speaking, it is a more primitive set of structural parts than the simplest sliding bearing, which depends entirely on the properties of the material itself and the lubricant.

Because of the existence of magic, although many technologies in this world are far inferior to the level of the earth, there are more magical and weird ways to achieve similar or even better results.

Take this bearing for example. According to Jennifer's introduction, Colin vaguely felt that although the structure is so simple that it is almost primitive, the effect may not be worse than ordinary rolling bearings on the earth.

"Since this is the case, why don't we do the same?" Roy couldn't help asking.

Jennifer sighed: "First of all, with our ability, we can't make that kind of magic potion at all, and the price of white beech wood is even more exaggerated to the point of unreasonable. According to His Excellency Roman Sagan's request, the cost must be controlled within a certain range. After all, this is an assessment, not that Your Excellency 'Storm Guidance' really needs a magic windmill."

Colin didn't let Roy waste any more time, and said, "If you can't start with engineering and materials, then the only thing left is..."

"That's right." Jennifer nodded, "Only the magic pattern."

According to the framework of modern continental magic theory, in addition to spells, several major research directions have been established, namely magic biology, magic engineering, magicology, and magic history.

Among them, Magwenology is the most difficult one.

First of all, the magic pattern itself is a difficult thing to describe. It can be an enchantment on a weapon, a seal, a magic scroll held in the hand, or a magic circle covering a city.

For a magic apprentice of Colin's level, the study of magic patterns may not even be superficial.

What's more, although the inscription of the magic pattern does not require mental power, but the activation of the magic pattern must be completed by a formal magician.

But having said that, because the concept of magic pattern is very broad, even the most elementary magic apprentices can learn it.

For example, engraving a magic pattern on the surface of an object to reduce its friction.

This small magic pattern can be designed by any apprentice with some basic knowledge, the only difference lies in the time spent and the final effect.

Jennifer continued to explain: "There is no doubt that if the magic pattern is used, the effect will be greatly reduced. At present, we are going to consider using black birch as an alternative material. With the effect of the magic pattern, as long as it can achieve half the effect of white beech, The magic windmill works fine too."

"So this is our goal? 50% effect of white beech?" Colin began to estimate the difficulty of this work in his heart.

"Yes, it's not easy, especially we have to complete all calculations and inscriptions within six days, otherwise it will slow down the work of others and cause the windmill to not be completed on time."

"Six days?" Colin couldn't help frowning.

"I know that time is tight. Fortunately, Mr. Prince and I have completed the overall design framework and calculation modules before, and the follow-up only needs to be checked and optimized."

Jennifer said a lot in one breath, and finally concluded: "So I am going to arrange it like this: Annie and I will go to major chambers of commerce to find the most cost-effective black birch. Colin, you and Roy only need to build on our previous foundation. Do checking and optimization, and leave one day for me to engrave it, and our mission will be completed."

"That is to say, I need to complete all the calculations and optimizations within five days."

Ke Lin pondered for a moment, and felt that such a distribution was reasonable, and with his own ability, he should be able to make it in time, so he nodded and said:

"no problem."

"Then it's settled. I'll ask Annie to bring over the basic design module later. If you have any needs, just ask. By the way, the pen and paper used for this calculation are all provided by Mr. Prince. It will be sent together when the time comes, and please rest assured about the reward afterwards, a disciple of a magister will definitely not be stingy."

After everything was settled, Jennifer knelt slightly to say goodbye to the two, and finally walked away quickly under Roy's watch.

"I swear, I won't marry Jennifer in this life!" The big head clenched his fist with his right hand, swearing.

Colin glanced at him: "You've said this to at least six people, and I bet you just came to your mind after seeing her curvaceous back."

Roy said excitedly: "I'm serious this time. Don't you think Jennifer has a special temperament and charm when she arranges tasks?"

The number of female magicians is less than one-fifth of that of males, and it is even more difficult to find a beautiful woman among the magicians. But once the appearance is a little passable, the identity of a magician or magic apprentice will become a bonus item .

Colin was very sure that Roy's big head was now filled with the temptation of uniforms.

"That's right, so don't let them down, and perform well when the time comes to calculate the magic pattern." Colin spoke, and sat back on the ground again.

Roy collapsed in an instant, and quickly stretched out a plate full of flattering smiles: "Is there anything I can do?"

"Now?" Colin sat cross-legged and said, "Immediately disappear where I am, and let me clean up alone."

"You don't want to keep looking at this fountain, do you? What's so interesting about it?" Roy was about to complain, but when he saw Colin making a threatening gesture, he immediately said with interest, "Yes, disappear immediately."

The big head flew away, and the lawn returned to calm, with only the gentle rustling of students passing by, and occasionally a crow flew by, which was the favorite communication tool of the college teachers.

Ke Lin propped his hands back on the ground, leaned back slightly, and stretched.

Then, sit back upright.

His eyes turned to the magic fountain not far away again, and he fell into deep thought.
