Dean Jeger was very serious about his work. He couldn't tolerate any mistakes. He had a hot temper and was known for his strictness.
"The origin of magic is indeed 2,500 years ago. It's recorded in the old books in the innermost part of the library."
"None of you went to flip through it and take a look."
"Zhang Xing is right. Oh, no, I should say that his understanding is right. What he said was not copied from the theories in the books, but an objective explanation based on his own understanding."
"Of course, what he said was not very comprehensive. After all, he's only been learning for a month, and he's only a six-year-old child."
"But it's exactly such a six-year-old child who slapped you in the face today and taught you a good lesson."
"With his theoretical level, he's totally qualified to be a mentor for you mentors."
"I've always emphasized in meetings that learning magic is not a matter of shortcuts. You can't blindly pursue innovation."
"The innovation I'm talking about is to seek breakthroughs with solid basic knowledge, not for you to take things out of context and imagine them out of thin air!"
After a pause, Jeger softened his tone and continued, "That's all I'm going to say. You can continue."
After that, Dean Jeger walked to the door and asked the other senior members of the school to sit in the auditorium and listen carefully to the new students' answers.
"Students, because we mentors made a wrong judgment just now, I'd like to apologize to you here."
"If you make a mistake, you have to admit it and correct it, whether you're a mentor or a student."
"For the second question, one point will be added to Zhang Xing, and one point will be deducted from Clive. Of course, Clive's theoretical level is also very good. I hope you won't let this point affect your performance later."
Solina took the lead in applauding. Her meaning was self-evident.
Thunderous applause immediately sounded in the examination hall. The ten mentors on the panel of judges clapped so hard that their palms turned red.
They had no choice. The dean and the senior members were all applauding. If they didn't actively perform, how could they survive in the future?
"Let's continue the exam. Please listen to the fourth question!"
Looking at the students, Zhang Xing was still calm and relaxed, while Clive's ears were pricked up and he looked nervous.
"Please tell us your understanding of instant magic. Begin!"
"Ding!"
"Please answer, Mr. Zhang Xing!"
Under the envious gazes of the students and the astonished gazes of the tutors, Zhang Xing stood up calmly.
"The so-called instantaneous magic is magic that uses a pure medium to cast."
"Two more concepts are derived from this, the pure medium and the construction rune. I won't explain them one by one."
"Many of you may have seen or heard that some powerful Mages don't even need to chant incantations. They can casually cast one spell after another as easily as throwing stones."
"The students all think that this sorcerer's understanding of magic has reached the pinnacle. He has already understood the essence of this spell."
"It's not wrong to think that way, but in reality, it's impossible."
"No one can directly use a pure medium to release magic."
"We envy those big shots who can cast spells instantly, but they also need time to cast spells. Among them, there's a difference in speed."
At this point, some of the old guys in the gallery couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Tal, who had been looking behind him, quickly nodded with a look of approval.
"What I understand is that the reason why they can be so fast is that they use a magic array type spell. A magic array and a rune are the construction runes."
"These construction runes are like blueprints. They've been stored in their minds for a long time."
"If the students also have these runes in their minds, instantaneous magic will no longer be a dream!"
"Answer complete!"
"Boom!"
Dean Jager was the first to stand up and applaud, followed by the higher-ups of the academy, the judges, the mentors, and all the students.
The applause lasted for a long time!
