Professor of Magic

Chapter 135 Lesson 16 Football Lesson

After the craziness of the evening at the celebration party, a new semester at Feynor Academy finally begins.

At the same time, this is also the second semester that Lin Yuan came to Feynor College to teach. Compared with the first semester, he is much more proficient.

Anyway, now he is very familiar with Feynor College and this group of students.Moreover, after a semester of training by him, the consciousness of the students in Class [-], Grade [-] has changed a lot.

In many cases, what Lin Yuan needed to explain deliberately last semester, now he only needs to mention a little bit, and the students can understand immediately, which makes Lin Yuan feel a lot easier.

It's just that the students' comprehension ability has improved, and their self-awareness has grown, but they are more willing to put forward their own opinions. Then Lin Yuan has to face more questions, and as a result, he spends more time answering them.

The two phases cancel each other out, and in the end, Lin Yuan's workload this semester is about the same as last semester.

"Students, today I will introduce a novel thing to you." Standing on the stadium behind the mountain, Lin Yuan took out a bulging thing from behind with a smile on his face.

"What is this?" The students looked at the ball in Lin Yuan's hand that seemed to be made of some kind of animal leather, and asked wonderingly.

One piece of the ball is black and the other is white. They are all composed of equilateral hexagons. I don't know why.

"This is called a football." Lin Yuan tossed the football in his hand lightly, then stretched out his left foot, and the football landed firmly on his foot.

He couldn't help smiling smugly. He hasn't played football for half a year, but his skills have not been forgotten.

Today is the time for the first physical education class stipulated by the college after the start of the second semester.

Lin Yuan was still thinking about getting some new gadgets for this physical education class to make the students regain their interest in physical education. It happened that the person from the leather shop informed him that the football was ready.

Although the football is not well-made, it has good elasticity and good selection of materials. After kicking it twice, Lin Yuan felt that the foot feels good, so he decided to start teaching football to the students in this class.

"Football?" The students pondered for a while, and Vince asked, "Mr. Lin, is this thing for kicking?"

"Of course." With a flick of his ankle, Lin Yuan jumped up obediently, and then fell down. He picked it up again... After a while, he threw the football to Vince under the surprised eyes of the students. "Come on, try it."

Vince held the football and looked left and right, then hesitatingly threw the football forward, and then stretched out his feet to pick it.

"boom--"

He used too much force in this pick, and as a result, the football flew out quickly as soon as it touched his feet, brushing past Larch's ears with a sound.

Larch was taken aback: "Vince, you kid wants to murder me."

"I'm sorry..." Vince apologized quickly and ran over to pick up the football. "Mr. Lin, this is too difficult..."

Seeing that many students agreed, Lin Yuan smiled: "If I tell you that getting started with this thing is much easier than learning magic, do you believe it?"

The students looked at the football, looked at their hands, and shook their heads.

"Don't believe me? Well, Vince, come on, let me demonstrate to you." Lin Yuan took the football over. "Look at it, jumping the ball is the first step in practicing football skills. The first thing you need to pay attention to when jumping the ball is the part where the top of your foot touches the football. Just now Vince didn't bump the ball with his foot at all, but directly hit it with his toes, plus So much force that the football flew straight out."

As soon as he let go of his hand, the football fell. Lin Yuan shook his ankle lightly and turned the football up again.

"Look, this time I use the top of the foot to touch the football in the middle of the football. At the same time, when the top of the foot touches the football, let the foot sink a little to ease the impact of the football falling, so as not to force it too much at once. Fly."

Glancing at the half-understanding expressions of the students, Lin Yuan thought for a while, put down the football, and continued: "Actually, this is a matter of detailed decision. As I told you before, every magic The formation is composed of countless details, such as if you use the spirit to mobilize the magic power better, if you use magic power to control the magic elements, how to make these magic elements finally form the magic you want, etc... Put all these details together If it is done, the magic can be done. And if these details are done well, the magic will be done brilliantly."

Stepped on the football and continued: "Let's go back to the ball-jumping. The ball-jumping is the same as magic. It seems very simple. The magician releases the magic. Others seem to just move their hands and it's over, but in fact we But it needs to go through a lot of steps. The same is true for this bounce. At first glance, I just bounced the football with my feet, but in fact, there are many things involved in it. For example, the prediction of the falling speed of the football, the impact point Predict the direction of the ball falling, and then adjust the position of the foot and the strength of the foot according to this. The most important thing is to judge the contact position of the foot and the ball in an instant."

Lin Yuan suddenly discovered that what he used to do in the past was to explain to students what needs to be paid attention to in magic through examples from the outside world, but now he explained football to students through magic.

This feels really weird.

"There are two main things that determine the final release of magic. One is the amount of magic elements, and the other is the composition of magic elements. There are more magic elements, and the composition of magic elements in magic is more perfect. Generally speaking , the effect of magic is even better. And if you take the ball bounce as an example, the most important thing that determines the effect of the ball is precisely two points. One is the strength, and the other is the angle."

"Let's talk about power first. It's like the magic element needed to release magic. If it's too little, it won't be able to form magic at all. If it's too much, it will require too much control, which is not good. And the ball is what is needed. The strength is the same, if it is too little, it will be like this..."

Lin Yuan let go of his hand, the football fell, he just touched it lightly with his foot, the result was enough to just bounce slightly on the foot, and then rolled to the side. "The football can't bounce at all, and the subsequent actions can't continue. And if the force is too strong..."

He picked up the football and repeated the action, only this time he lifted his foot up much harder, and the football bounced back quickly, flying directly over his head.

"The football flies too high, it takes more energy to regain control, and the football is also fast, and you need to react faster to judge its direction."

"Then let's talk about the angle. Of course, the composition of the angle, which cannot drink magic elements, is of course the same in essence, that is, it is a very delicate thing. If the composition of the magic elements is slightly wrong, magic is possible. It can't be done, and the angle of the ball is off..."
Let go of your hand again, and the football falls.Only this time, he intentionally let his foot rub against the side of the football, and when he touched it, the football immediately slanted and flew out.

"Look, you can't keep controlling the football like that."

Lin Yuan took the football that Fiere went to pick up, and repeated the complete jumping action at the beginning.

"Here, to complete this seemingly simple step, you need to combine various strengths, angles, and various details. If you make a mistake, there will be problems." As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuan's foot had been tilted. , The football rolled out again. "It's like we release magic. If there is a problem in the link, the final magic will not be released. Last semester, I thought you emphasized the importance of details. Because every magic is composed of many If you can make every detail of the song well, then the effect of magic will be much better.”

The students nodded, let’s not talk about their comparison with other students in Feynor Academy last semester, just judging from what they observed at the Continental Academy of Magic Competition this time, the students in Class [-] of their first grade They, using the same magic, the effect is better than others.

Although the degree of goodness varies according to their talents, but on average, they are indeed much stronger.

Undoubtedly, this is the result of Lin Yuan asking them to pay attention to details.

"After talking about the details, let's talk about the whole. Come on, Vince, try again. Remember what I just told you." Lin Yuan handed the football to Vince again.

Vince took the football, tilted his head and thought about it, let go of the football like Lin Yuan did, and then stretched out his foot to pick it.

"flutter--"

This time, he used too little force, and the football rolled directly to the ground.

"Haha, Vince, you are terrible." Larch, who often bickered with Vince, couldn't help laughing.

"Tch, you can try it if you have the ability?" After saying that, Vince hurried to pick up the football, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it.

At the beginning, he was like all beginners, he would knock the football far away and couldn't continue.

But after a while, he gradually became familiar with it, and occasionally he could bounce a few times in a row.It's just that there has been no way to guarantee a longer time.

Lin Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "How about it, do you see what's going on? Why is Vince's power and angle of juggling the ball good now, but he can't do it like me?"

The students shook their heads. If they could see it now, they would be geniuses.

"This is the overall problem I told you just now. Even if Vince can grasp the angle and strength well, because he doesn't have enough grasp of the whole movement, he can't integrate these details perfectly, so although he can occasionally Got a few good bounces, but in the end it just couldn't last."

It just so happened that Vince didn’t choose the right part of his foot for the first bounce, and the direction of the football bouncing was a bit off, and then he hurriedly tilted his body and tried to hook it back. Although this time he succeeded, but because his body was crooked, the back The movements became more and more out of shape, and finally ended with the failure of the football to land.

"You see, Vince was good this time, but because of a problem in the middle, he failed. If this situation allows me to come, I will be sure to save the ball and continue. The difference It’s just that he and I are different in the level of control and connection of the whole set of movements.”

"Let's go back to the example of magic. When you release magic, do you feel that if the releaser mobilizes magic power, gathers magic elements, and generates magic in one go, the release speed of magic this time How about faster?"

The students thought for a while, and Qiqi nodded in agreement.

"Hmm... It's like the trial at the end of last semester..." Lilita replied eagerly. "Mr. Lin, it was the monster you were looking at that time. At that time, I felt that it was very easy for me to release the magic, and the wind blade was still whizzing, very fast."

"This is a so-called smooth feeling." Lin Yuan nodded. "Actually, the worst of you is a first-level magician. Regarding the overall control when releasing magic, you have already reached a certain level. Just like my current ball-jumping, it is not bad. It's just that I and the original world Compared with those masters who play football, it is much worse, and your overall control over magic is also much worse than that of more advanced magicians."

Of course, the students could only nod their heads. Although the students in Class [-], Grade [-] who had been taught by Lin Yuan for a semester actually understood all aspects of magic much better than their peers, but understanding is understanding, and practice is practice. Studying and practicing, of course they can't compare with advanced magicians.

Even if it is compared within the third class of the first grade, Fasino, Zhuo Na, Natasha and others are obviously higher than the others.

"As for how the gap came about... I can give you a detailed demonstration of juggling, but magic can't help. Natasha..." Lin Yuan shouted suddenly.

"Huh?" Natasha was taken aback, looking at Lin Yuan inexplicably.

"Come on, tell me how you do it when you release magic? The more detailed the better."

"This..." Natasha knew that this was Lin Yuan's intention to let herself be an example, she thought about it carefully and said: "I usually start to feel the magic elements around me while mobilizing the magic power, and then as soon as the magic power is mobilized, I will directly Communicate with these magical elements..." Here, she used the word "communicate" instead of "control".

Natasha has a gentle personality and a delicate mind, which is just right for this kind of explanation.

After listening to her, the other students nodded thoughtfully.

Although I still don't quite understand, but I can somewhat understand what Lin Yuan said.

For them, magic is tantamount to thinking about a huge project.Successfully releasing the magic means completing the project.The quality of the completed project depends not only on the various materials needed to complete the project, but also on the overall planning of the project.Otherwise, even if all the materials are good, but the overall planning is not good, it will be a mess in the end.

Many of the personal experiences that Natasha mentioned were things they had never thought about before, and after listening to them now, they are very inspiring.

After Natasha finished speaking, Lin Yuan nodded and called another student's name.

"Ferre, it's you next, let's talk about it."

"Me?" Fiere pointed to himself, and then began to tell honestly: "I usually mobilize the magic power first, then gather the magic elements, and then let the magic elements form..."

"What do you think is the difference between Fiere and Natasha?" After listening to Fiere's story, Lin Yuan asked the students.

"Natasha had already considered the next step when she was doing this step, but Ferre started to move on to the next step after finishing this step." Vince said in a rare way.

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded approvingly. "Then why? Fiere, do you think you can be like Natasha?"

Fiere shook his head blushing, "I'm afraid not."

"Why not?" Lin Yuan didn't let go of his plan.

"Why?" Ferre was stunned. At first he thought Lin Yuan's question was unreasonable, but when he saw Lin Yuan's eyes looking at him, he immediately thought that Lin Yuan had never been unreasonable with the students. Quickly think carefully. "I think... If you want to achieve Natasha's step, you must take it as a whole... Ah, I see! Teacher Lin, I understand what you mean!"

Fiere yelled excitedly over there, confusing the other students.

This guy just said he understood, what did he understand?

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, without explaining, but continued to call a person's name.

"Casotto, it's your turn."

"Ah?" Ka Suotuo never expected that Lin Yuan would point to him.His talent is not high, and he doesn't work too hard, so he has always been regarded as a relatively late student in the third class of the first grade. He really doesn't have much confidence in these things. "Ms. Lin... I... I am much worse than Natasha and Ferre..."

"It's okay, just say what you want. As a teacher, I just want to point out the deficiencies of the students and let them improve." Lin Yuan chuckled. "Why? Young man, aren't you still shy?"

"No...not." Ka Suoto looked around and found that the students were only looking at him with detection, without any contempt or disdain. , You have to mobilize the magic power first, make sure you can control it, and then start to gather magic elements. But every time you start to gather magic elements, you find that the control of magic power is actually not good, and then turn back to control the magic power, the result is... ..."

"How is it? How do you feel now?" After Ka Suotto finished speaking, Lin Yuan asked this question again.

The students began to think hard, and after a while, Lilita said: "Mr. Lin, I think I understand. You want to tell us that when releasing magic, we must connect every step and control them together, so that The spell will be cast much faster. Is that so?"

"That's about it." Lin Yuan nodded. "In addition to speeding up the casting speed, a good connection between the details and the control of the overall action can make the magic you release more perfect and the effect better. For example, Natasha, although her magic power is not as good as Fasno and Zorna, but her spellcasting speed is faster than both of them, and if you compare one spell alone, the spell she uses is better. Because of what? Other than her control over the magic element... er... or In addition to her good relationship with magic elements, there is another important factor, that is, her overall control when releasing magic is better."

"Let's compare Fiere and Casoto again, and we can see the gap even more."

Lin Yuan was very careful to compare Fiere and Casotto with Natasha.Children in this age group are actually very sensitive. Letting Ka Suoto come out as a foil just now made him very worried about hurting his self-esteem, so he should be more careful now.

Natasha has a gentle personality and has a good relationship with her classmates. I believe they will not have any resistance.

"Why is there a gap in the performance of the three of them in this area? From what they said just now, you should be able to see. One of the important reasons is in the overall control."

With these three people as practical examples, the students finally understood what Lin Yuan was emphasizing. After thinking about it carefully, they all nodded involuntarily.

"Okay, that's the end of today's theory class." Lin Yuan suddenly flicked his thigh, swung his calf, and slammed the arch of his foot against the side of the football.

"boom--"

The football flew out like a cannonball and bounced back on the fence of the playground.

"Next, let me explain the rules of football to you in detail. I want to let you know how attractive this sport, known as the number one sport in the Eastern Continent, is. But first, we need two goals ..."
