Chapter 244 Elite Apprenticeship Program
"The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own golden house?"

"Will you be able to get everything you need by reading (going to school)?"

"It really is!"

In the magic world, learning and progress can really change the class and change the destiny.

But few people express it in such straightforward language.

After Roland carried out this classic advertisement from Song Zhenzong for the imperial examination, everyone couldn't help but stare at it, deeply convinced.

In an instant, he had the sympathy of all the apprentices.

Even the people sitting on the stage were amazed.

"What a great summary!"

They are able to sit on this stage, and they are also beneficiaries of magic learning.

Yan Ruyu?Golden house?
High-level mage, that's all.

……

"Journal of Savarin": "Yesterday, Your Excellency Roland delivered an important speech and wrote a poem to encourage apprentices.

Now this newspaper publishes the full text of "Encouraging Learning Poems" as follows..."

"Arcane Review": "Is it the distortion of the three views, or the carnival of the successists, the famous arcanist His Excellency Roland actually declared in public that learning magic is for money and beautiful women..."

"Neves Daily": "Mr. Roland said that career and love can be obtained by learning magic!"

Because it was the beginning of the school season, the related topics quickly spread inside and outside Reiner, and even the Altrein had heard about it.

However, Roland was an emotionless copying machine. After copying "Poems to Encourage Learning", he immediately threw it aside and started busy with another thing.

That is to select students in the true sense from among the apprentices recruited this time, as apprentices, and carefully cultivate them.

"You can get everything by reading? How can there be such a cheap thing?

The magic theory and spell knowledge learned in the academy is at best just casting some 0-level spells. Few of the apprentices can use them after graduation. "

"What, so your poem was false advertising?"

"It's not false advertising, but the pictures are for reference only, and everything is based on the real thing. Isn't this obvious?"

In the mage tower and the department office, the sound of Roland talking and laughing with everyone could be heard.

It turns out that he also knew that he was boasting and saying unrealistic words.

Leaving aside the content of courses and exams, Atrein’s orientation in these fields is very clear, and that is arcana.

Sofia was admitted to the Orvisto Mage Tower and was a classmate with Froya, so she was considered a top student. There must be many level 0~1 spells in the list of spells she mastered, so she still ran away?

So he knew that the poem he carried was in some respects a false advertisement.

But if a victim came to question why there was no beef in the noodles, he would use himself, teacher Orvisto, senior Swain, Lei, Blaze and other high-level mages to refute.

Besides, my original destiny was to be a beggar, and now I am not starving to death. Didn't reading change my destiny?

After laughing, Roland said with emotion: "The popular curriculum is originally for cultivating screws, and the knowledge in the big classroom is bound to be backward, and it can only teach mediocrity!

In addition to self-study, self-enlightenment and elite guidance, real talents are more importantly cultivated by the environment. "

"Roland, aren't you a supporter of universal education? When you debated with Gallo and others, you were firmly on the side of universal education."

"Mr. Lei, things are dialectical and contradictory. What I said about universal education is just to give ordinary people the opportunity to learn and improve, but I didn't say anything to ensure that they will be able to become talents."

Some words need to be listened to both positive and negative sides. For example, supporting universal education is to give opportunities to the masses, but it cannot hinder the growth of the elite.

In the same way, some people may misunderstand that only mediocre talents can be cultivated in the classroom, thinking that talents like themselves should leave the classroom and learn by themselves.

But the question is, if there is such a talent that the wise are born with, it has already come to the fore, does it still need to listen to other people say these simple and vulgar truths to "suddenly realize it"?

There is no doubt that the vast majority of people are mediocre themselves, and they still have to study honestly and lay a foundation.

The people next to him heard it and started talking.

"It makes sense. Our academic school is often criticized by people, that is, we always follow the scriptures and teach some old things."

"Fortunately, the theoretical basis will not be eliminated so quickly, and there should be no problem with focusing on the essence."

Roland said: "Indeed, what we should pay attention to is the construction of basic knowledge, other than that is the ability to teach apprentices 'how to learn'.

As for the establishment of departments and majors, this in itself is to lock in the direction of future development, which involves the environmental issues I mentioned earlier.

Learning always needs to be combined with practice. Only when a commander sits in the position of commander will he have the opportunity to command thousands of troops. Only when soldiers go to battle and kill the enemy can they truly experience the feeling of blood on the battlefield. Before that, everything was a simulation drill. "

Lei agreed: "That's true. Although some people know it from birth, such as you, Roland, such a small probability event is not enough to overturn this argument."

Roland said: "Then the method of cultivating talents in this hospital should be determined.

In most cases, they are simulated occupations, focusing on vocational skills training.

This is not only for the realization of one's own value, but also to meet the needs of social development.

We should find out the commonality and principles of these professions, guide the construction of these theoretical foundations in the classroom, and focus on practical skills.

Based on this dual framework of theory and skills, the setting of courses is a matter of course. "

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Roland continued: "The knowledge system is a complex network structure, so it is also necessary to pay attention to the setting of effective credits and relevance."

The credit system in this world is somewhat similar to that of Blue Star in the previous life. There are also compulsory and elective courses, as well as pre-requisite courses.

He and everyone at Seris Academy relied on these things to create the current department.

This is also the point that everyone believes that he is born with knowledge. These things are not considered by ordinary mages. At Roland's current age, it is even less likely that he has any practical experience in education.

But he seemed to have seen and experienced it, and he came up with an educational plan that was different from Atrein, but equally scientific and objective.

"Let's go back to another point I mentioned earlier, elite education.

Although I am a populist who advocates universal education, I have to admit that elite education is indeed necessary at certain times.

Moreover, the elite mentioned here is the arcane elite, not the elite of social wealth and power.

Here, everyone should ignore their origin, family background, beauty and ugliness, and only rank high and low based on arcane achievements and academic status.

I'm going to set up a program called the Elite Apprenticeship Program.In general, mediocre apprentices accumulate credits in a sheep-herding manner, seek graduation, and then put them into society to become qualified screws.

The elite apprentices are taught by famous teachers, and from time to time they start a small lesson and impart valuable knowledge.

Not only do I want to recruit apprentices, but Lei, Blaize, and all high-level mages also need to recruit some elite apprentices.

But there is one thing. The list of elite apprentices is not decided by ourselves, but by the examination. "

"The Elite Apprenticeship Program... There is no problem with this, and it is almost the same traditionally, but why is the exam so redundant?"

Lei didn't understand.

"Traditionally, isn't the mentor himself the right to decide?"

"Yes, if it is to ensure fairness... We have come all the way from the General Studies College and Advanced College, and the tenth-year apprentices are enough to ensure fairness."

“Of course it’s because the national conditions are different.

Please don't forget that the composition of apprentices in Reiner's World is complicated, which is different from that of Arterine.

Moreover, even in Atrein, the setting of arcanist levels is essentially a means of evaluation, but the standard has changed from scores to the results of arcane exploration.

If it is left to the tutor to choose, the origin and quality of the elite cannot be guaranteed. To a large extent, it will become determined by their own preferences or family background, wealth, and even beauty!
We have to use something institutional to rule out influences other than arcane. "

When it comes to this, Roland speaks earnestly.

"Of course things like exams can't be perfect, but as long as they get the same score on the same paper, it's already relatively fair.

What's more, we need to create a new group of nobles in Reiner's world, or we can call them magic nobles, just to break the stereotypes of the clans, and to be eclectic and meritocratic. "

Lei and others listened thoughtfully.

But there was no objection.

Because they also recognize this fairness.

Therefore, this practice of cutting off their research and recommendation rights in disguise, as well as the right to choose, has been supported.

……

"So, the dignified prince has become our classmate?"

"That's not all. The one over there is the son of a duke, and the one over there is the son of a marquis and count..."

"Wow, it's incredible. I didn't expect us sons of common people to have such a day!"

On the first day of school, the apprentices entered the Mage Tower and were assigned to dormitories on the 4th to 6th floors.

Later, they were notified and asked to gather in the auditorium on the 7th floor.

Some apprentices who had never seen much of the world had not yet shaken off their previous excitement. They were pointing and excited along the way, and continued chattering after arriving at the place.

"The untouchables are the untouchables, they have all come to this kind of place, and they are still so vulgar!"

The son of an earl glanced over there with disdain, but then with a bit of flattery, he said to the son of the duke next to him: "Bona, do you know why you called us here so early in the morning? On the first day of school, Could it be that a big shot like Mr. Roland wants to give lectures in person?"

"There is no need to think too much about this. Roland, Lei, Blair and several other gentlemen are each in charge of a compulsory course, but they are almost only in charge of curriculum development and textbook compilation. At most, we can see them in the purchased courses, not Saw it with my own eyes in class.

It should be just to announce some regulations and caveats. "

"Silence! Silence! Now, I, Senior Teaching Assistant Lesi, will announce the departmental structure and corresponding course schedule for the new semester."

Not long after, a third-level mage who looked like a teaching assistant walked in and announced to everyone.

“Our college adopts a relatively flexible academic system, with theoretical courses common to all majors. The most important thing is Chinese, which is the basis of the Seris language.

Then there are Siris spells and Siris runes, which are applied disciplines extended on the basis of language, and can derive various professions of traditional magicians and alchemists.

The above three major courses, plus "Ancient Elf Language", "Dragon Language", "Advanced Spell Structure", "Advanced Spell Casting Principles", a total of seven courses are compulsory, each ranging from 3 to 10 credits. All must pass or above to graduate.

Then there are the characteristics under the blessing of language, which can be selected according to their respective professional courses, including Seris Power Word, Siris Magic Card, Siris Literature, Siris Calligraphy, Arcane Experiment, Spellcasting Practice, Research Courses... These are also part of the Students from other departments and majors are provided with corresponding credits and professional certifications! "

After the overall major and curriculum were announced, the teaching assistant mentioned another important matter.

"In addition, His Excellency Roland and the associate professors and above mages of this academy have discussed and decided that on top of this credit system, the elite apprenticeship program of the mentor system will also be carried out.

Those who meet the conditions will be able to get the personal teaching of the high-level mage! "

A high-level mage teaches it in person?

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

Immediately, he became excited.

"Excuse me, teacher, what are the requirements to become an elite apprentice?"

"Yes, can you provide high tuition fees or magic materials?"

Some high-ranking apprentices thought they had seen the world and knew the practices of some ancient wizards, so they hurriedly asked.

The assistant teacher smiled and shook his head: "Of course... no!
The only criterion for selecting elite apprentices is credits.

Only those who have obtained more than 80% of the current semester's credits can enter the elite apprentice list.

But please note that being on this list does not mean that you can relax, because the basic courses for elite apprentices are basically assessed at 80% to 100%. The college will set up additional research topics in addition to the standard courses to conduct additional Assessment.

This is about one topic per semester. If you cooperate with the instructor to participate, or you can conduct arcane research on your own, and produce results certified by Atline, you can deduct credits and be exempted from exams.

But if you don't make any substantial progress in the current period, you will be deprived of your status as an elite apprentice and returned to ordinary students! "

When everyone heard it, their expressions were different.

Some people don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and they are excited, thinking that they will win if they set their minds.

Some people are well aware of the difficulty, and they secretly encourage themselves to strive for it.

There are also people who are self-aware and give up completely the moment they hear it.

Because they understand that long live the passing grade, and being able to graduate smoothly is already the biggest luxury.

"Elite apprentice?"

The only ones who really listened calmly and could deeply understand the meaning behind these requirements were Diego and a small number of apprentices from middle-class or noble families.

They each had their own expectations, and immediately set the goal of entering this list.

Because they all understand the importance of mentors in magic education, following the trend can only gradually reduce them to mediocrity.
