Professor of Magic

Chapter 144 Lesson 25 Debate Competition Performance

Monday noon.

Laisuo rubbed his belly and walked quickly to the college cafeteria.

Damn Mr. Meade, what's wrong with playing, playing procrastination.Well now, he finished school 5 minutes later than other students!

Don't underestimate these 5 minutes. During this time, there must have been a long queue in the college cafeteria.And Laisuo is on his way now, so he probably can only be at the end of the queue. When it is his turn to cook, the food may be cold.

While complaining in his heart, Laisuo quickened his pace.

But when he came to the entrance of the cafeteria, he found that today's cafeteria seemed to be different from usual.

If it was a canteen on weekdays, there would definitely be a bunch of people rushing in at this time, and the canteen was packed to the brim.

But today was different, those students who were supposed to be queuing up in the cafeteria at this moment, unexpectedly crowded at the door.

Laisuo walked over inexplicably, and found that there happened to be a student from Class [-] of their first grade at the end of the line, so he patted him and asked, "What's going on?"

The man looked back at Laisuo, shrugged and replied, "I just came here too. But the person in front seems to have mentioned a 'debating contest', what does that mean..."

The man was just talking to himself, and didn't expect Laisuo to answer, but suddenly felt Laisuo's hand on his shoulder suddenly exert force.

"Debate contest? Are you sure you heard it right?" Laisuo asked excitedly.

"It should be right... I said Laisuo, your hand..." The man was in pain from Laisuo's grasp, but he still reluctantly answered.

Although Laisuo let go of his grasping hand, he raised his palm and slapped him hard, which immediately added a layer of heat to his shoulder that was still hurting from the scratch just now.

"This must be Teacher Lin's idea, I want to see it!"

Seeing Laisuo probing his head and trying to squeeze into the crowd, the man gave him a blank look: "Forget it, I've been waiting here for a long time and I can't get in."

Laisuo suddenly smiled, stretched out his hands, and a little bit of chill suddenly dissipated from his hands.

A moment later, a huge square ice cube suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was spring at this time, and the weather was getting warmer. The students had already changed out of their winter clothes.As a result, as soon as Laisuo got out the ice, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. The students next to him shivered and couldn't help but step back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Laisuo grabbed the classmate just now and rushed in together.

When I rushed in and looked up, I found that there was an extra-large piece of paper on the poster board outside the cafeteria.

There are only four large characters on the top of the paper - debate contest.

Here are some explanations about the debate contest.It is nothing more than to say that the debate contest is to debate around a topic, so that both sides can speak freely for their own views, and at the same time, the judges will judge at the end.

"...If the Feynor Academy Competition and the Continental Academy of Magic Competition are fighting, then the debate competition is a literary fight. There is a saying in my hometown..."

Seeing this, Laisuo smiled slightly. It seems that there is no need to look at the signature. This thing must have been made by Mr. Lin Yuanlin.

"...It's called the truth. Through the debate contest, we can solve some controversial issues. Even if we can't solve them, we can learn a lot during the debate. It has a huge impact on enriching our theoretical knowledge. Yes, an immeasurable help..."

The following is to say that in order to let everyone understand what the debate contest is all about, the students in Class [-] of the first grade will hold a performance debate.

The topic of the debate was whether there should be a set pattern in magic.

The positive point of view is yes, and the negative point of view is no.

"The exhibition match will start at 5:[-] p.m. today, and the location will be the small playground behind the college's waste warehouse. I hope that students who are interested in it will watch it if they have time."

"Note: There will be audience speeches in the debate."

After reading this, Laisuo understood that Mr. Lin wanted to reflect the things that were similar to their quarrels in Vince's villa in this way.

Thinking of the days when he had been arguing endlessly with the students in Class [-], Grade [-], but he had improved a lot through the debate, Laisuo couldn't help but smile.

This is a good thing. Mr. Lin is willing to promote this novel method, which is very helpful to the students of Feynor College.

"Ms. Lin, there are so many weirdos..." The students from Class [-] who were dragged in by Laisuo murmured.

"What's weird?" Laisuo glared at him. "You will know it after reading it this afternoon. I promise, you will be enlightened after reading it."

"Really so powerful?" The student still didn't believe it.

"nonsense!"

※ ※ ※

While a group of students were discussing about Lin Yuan's big-character poster in front of the cafeteria, he was still busy in the classroom of Class [-], Grade [-].

"Are you clear? Do you know what I'm going to say this afternoon?"

In the classroom, the students in Class [-], Grade [-] were frowning.

"Mr. Lin, these things still need to be debated..." Vince muttered. "You have taught us countless times in the last study, and we are not so stupid that we don't understand it now."

"Vince, you are really stupid." Larch's words made Vince glaring at him. "Didn't Mr. Lin just say that this is an exhibition match, do you understand? What is a performance, it is for others to see."

"Well, Larch is right." Lin Yuan nodded. "The topic of this debate is irrelevant. The main thing I do is to let you tell other students about the situation of the debate. Don't you think that other students have very little communication with each other?"

The students thought about it and nodded in unison.

"I remember what you said, Mr. Lin." Vince nodded and said, "Students in the same dormitory building as me, Laqi, and Fasno rarely see them Let's discuss things together."

"This habit is not good." Lin Yuan shook his head and said. "Any kind of knowledge cannot be accomplished behind closed doors. Without communication, people can only be confined to their own small circles, and it is difficult to make progress." After a pause, he said: "Think about it, if you usually I only care about myself, and I don’t communicate with my classmates when I have any problems. Is it possible to have such a level now? .

The students shook their heads.

"That's it, such a good method, we can't hide it ourselves, we have to show it to other students."

"Mr. Lin, you are really fraternal." Vince muttered.

Lin Yuan pretended not to hear.Then I repeated what I just explained, which is to arrange the pros and cons of the debate and the process of their debate.

He had participated in two debate competitions when he was in college, so he was quite familiar with it, and after some arrangement, it was in good order.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when he led the students of Class [-], Grade [-] to the small playground, he was shocked by the situation in front of him.

The playground, which couldn't be said to be too small at first, was already crowded with students in all kinds of uniforms.

Seeing Lin Yuan bringing the students, they applauded in unison.

Lin Yuan laughed and waved to everyone.

Although he was somewhat accurate in his heart, he didn't expect so many people to come, which really made him feel a lot of face.

But the students in Class [-], Grade [-] got a little nervous. They had never performed in front of so many people.

"Hello, students..." After leading the students to stand still in the middle of the venue, Lin Yuan first greeted the students around him.

Seeing at a glance that there were several teachers among them, and that Snow Booth, who was very dissatisfied with Lin Yuan, was watching coldly, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing again.

"Thank you for coming to join me. Time is precious. In order not to delay everyone's dinner time, I will not talk nonsense. Now, the debate will begin."

After a pause, he continued: "The topic of this debate is very simple, it is about the standard of magic. The so-called standard is a rigid rule. In the magic books we have come into contact with before, in the introduction of various magic , will tell you a fixed size ratio. For example, the most common and common fireball technique, as we all know, is a ball with a diameter of 20 cm in "Introduction to Fire Magic". So the fire magician When we learn fireball, we will also follow this rule..."

After picking out what he told the students in class three of the first grade last semester about the magic system, Lin Yuan began to introduce the students participating in the debate.

"The three students standing on my left are Natasha, Fasno, and Fiere. They represent the positive point of view, that is, they support the magic system."

"The three students standing on my right are Vince, Zorna, and Lilita. They represent the opposite view, that is, magic does not exist."

"Because this competition is a performance, there are no judges, and the final evaluation is in the hearts of you audience."

"Now I announce that the debate competition has begun. First of all, I would like to invite Natasha to explain the views of the affirmative party."

Natasha took a breath, calmed down her mood, and then slowly opened her mouth: "We believe that the standardization of magic is necessary. We all know that when a magician condenses magic elements through magic power, different Magic elements need to consume different magic power, but this does not mean that the more magic elements that need to be condensed, the more magic power must be consumed. The less magic elements that need to be condensed, the less magic power must be consumed. Take Mr. Lin just now Taking the fireball technique as an example, why does the "Introduction to Fire Magic" say that the size of the fireball technique is 20 cm? Because at this size, the ratio of the required magic power to the condensed magic elements is the best..."

After Natasha finished speaking, the debate came to the opposite side, Vince.

This boy Vince has a good eloquence, plus the theory that there is no standard for magic, the students in Class [-] of the first grade are already familiar with it and understand it very thoroughly, so after his eloquent speech, he actually provoked a lot of people. The audience applauded.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and the audience applauded, at least showing that they began to agree with this point of view, and this was his primary purpose for holding this exhibition competition.

After Vince finished speaking, it meant that the first part of the debate was completed.

Next, it was the turn of the two and three debates between the pros and cons, that is, the defense and counterattack between Fasno, Ferre, Zona and Lilita.

Seeing Zhuo Na's slow and calm statement, and Ferret's somewhat timid and hesitant statement, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile.

When arranging these four people, Lin Yuan also took great pains.

Among them, Fasno and Lilita are both eloquent, clear in thinking, and have a deep understanding of magic. They are the two experts who participated in the debate.

In comparison, Fiere and Zorna are usually much more taciturn.Among them, Zorna was even quieter than Fiere, and she was not suitable for participating in the debate.

But Lin Yuan forced them to participate, in order to force the two of them to take this opportunity to let go of themselves.

Looking at it now, the effect seems to be good.

Although the two of them seemed a little uncomfortable, but that was just the beginning.With the development of the debate, the pros and cons's issues became more and more in-depth, and the two of them lost their initial restraint.

Among them, Zhuo Na's performance opened the eyes of Lin Yuan and other students in Class [-], Grade [-].

At first, I thought her performance as a cold-faced little girl was mediocre at best, but after talking about the topics that Lin Yuan had formulated at the beginning, the students began to play freely, and Zhuo Na would often point out each other's loopholes. It is really surprising to everyone that she can get a lot of support points for her opposition.

If the debate at the beginning was just a deliberate arrangement by Lin Yuan, then in the end, the six people representing the pros and cons had already forgotten the purpose of the show, and began to defend their views seriously.

What makes Lin Yuan feel funny is that Natasha, Fasno, and Fiere, who represent the views of the affirmative, have already accepted the view that magic does not exist, but now when they start debating, they forget their own With the original understanding, he is extremely devoted to debate, and makes various arguments for the viewpoints he supports.

By this time they had started arguing purely for the sake of arguing
It's a pity that there is no such thing as a standard in magic. The students in Class [-] of the first grade had already discussed it badly in the last semester, and there are many examples and theories as the basis for this.Therefore, Vince, Zorna, and Lilita, who represent the opposing side, can completely keep their expressions on the face of the pros and cons, eloquently and eloquently.

After a while, Lin Yuan had no choice but to announce the end of the debate at this stage.If this continues, the debate between the two sides may turn into sophistry, which completely violates his original intention.

"Next, it's time for the audience to ask questions." Lin Yuan looked around and saw that the surrounding students and several teachers were already deep in thought.Even Snow Booth was frowning at this moment, thinking about something. "Does anyone have any questions?"

The surrounding students looked at me and I looked at you. After a long while, a tall boy stood up.

"I want to ask this student named Zhuo Na on the opposite side. You just said that when using magic, you can make decisions completely according to your own ideas. However, different magic elements are required to gather magic power. How to change it?"

"Kicking a stone with your feet, one the size of a finger and one the size of a fist, how do you judge how much strength is needed?" Zhuo Na asked back.

"Isn't this a natural thing?" The tall boy said in amazement.

"No." Zhuo Na shook her head: "This is experience. A child will never understand this." After finishing speaking, she shut her mouth, as if she was not going to continue explaining.

The tall boy can only sit down half-understanding

As for the other students, some had suddenly realized expressions on their faces, while others smiled. Of course, some of them were thinking as hard as the tall boy.

After the tall boy started, the other students also got up and asked questions. Most of the topics were still focused on some key issues that had conflicts between the pros and cons just now.

And these questions are the key factors for whether the magic system is correct or not. When the students asked questions, they immediately caused more questions.

Gradually, all the students present got involved.

No matter who you are, you have to think about it.

Lin Yuan saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

The ultimate purpose of this debate has been achieved.

Time whizzed by in the students' discussions, and when the students finally realized that they had no questions to ask, Ellis had already climbed the treetops.

Lin Yuan quickly took the opportunity to announce the end of the debate.

"... As for who you agree with, I think you all have the answer in your heart, and I don't need to answer this for you. You should also let go of this question. The most important and realistic question for you now is to have dinner. .” Lin Yuan smiled. "If you don't go anymore, it's a trivial matter that the food in the cafeteria is cold, but it's a big deal if the cooking ladies in the cafeteria come to ask me to ask me for a crime."

The students laughed loudly, and then got up in twos and threes and walked towards the cafeteria.

It's just that while they were walking, they kept communicating with the classmates beside them.

Even among them were students who didn't know each other before, and they would argue fiercely over a question.

Lin Yuan chuckled, turned to the students in Class [-], Grade [-] and said, "Students, thank you for your hard work!"

The students looked at each other and suddenly shouted in unison: "Serve the people!"

Lin Yuan fell.

He just said this sentence to the students once, but he didn't expect them to remember it all.

"Cough...Although you are indeed serving the people, you are also working hard." Lin Yuan laughed. "In order to reward you, I decided to save you the pain of going to the cafeteria, and invite you to Wendnuo to eat delicious food!"

"Also! Teacher Lin is full!"

"Damn..." Lin Yuan muttered, it seems that they learned more than "why serve" from him.

Just about to lead the students towards Wendno City, when he turned around, he found a familiar figure standing in front of him at some point.

"Mr. Booth, you are..." Lin Yuan looked at Snow Booth with a complicated expression in front of him, wondering.

The students in the third class of the first grade were not as good-tempered as Lin Yuan. When they saw him, they all snorted and turned their heads without giving him any face. Bundle.

"Mr. Lin, I..." Snow Booth opened his mouth, but stopped as if he didn't know what to say.

"If there is nothing important, I will take the students to dinner." Lin Yuan gave him a look inexplicably.I thought to myself that there was a gap between this person and Trey after all, and he couldn't speak straightforwardly enough.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you report to the teacher's office every day?" Snow Booth paused for a long time, and suddenly a question came up that completely surprised Lin Yuan.

"Ah?" Lin Yuan was taken aback.

Faculty Office?After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have heard Vice President Capacci talk about this issue unintentionally once, telling him to go there more when he was free, to get in touch with other teachers and so on.

But at that time, he seemed to be busy with something, and as a result, these words entered one ear and came out the other.

After that, Vice President Capaci never mentioned this matter again.

"Mr. Booth, what do you mean..." Lin Yuan asked.There must be a reason for this Snow Booth to suddenly mention this.

"Mr. Lin, I admit that you are talented and a good teacher." Snow Booth suddenly changed the subject and began to praise Lin Yuan. "I used to have some prejudice against you."

Lin Yuan was even more baffled, what exactly did Booth want to say when he was going around.

"But Mr. Lin, you are still too young after all." Snow Booth sighed and looked at Lin Yuan with regret on his face. "Actually, when I was young, I was the same as you are now. It's just...not as talented as you."

He looked at the students in Class [-], Grade [-] behind Lin Yuan, and looked at the already empty playground, and said, "Okay, I won't delay you to take the students to dinner, I'm hungry too, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, just like last time, he left straight away, leaving only Lin Yuan and the students in Class [-], Grade [-] looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Mr. Lin, he has been talking for a long time, what exactly is he talking about?" The students all looked puzzled.

This Snow Booth stopped Lin Yuan from babbling for a long time, but what he said was incoherent, making it impossible for people to know what he was going to do.

Lin Yuan's heart is already clear.

This Snow Booth actually had good intentions, he was reminding himself to pay more attention to the relationship between his colleagues.

This point was overlooked by Lin Yuan before.

Because he is from a different world after all, and it has been smooth sailing since he came to Feynor College, and he has the old man Hawke as a big backer, so he has never paid much attention to these issues.

But now being reminded by Snow Booth, it reminded him.

Fortunately, he still said in front of Reid that he had already integrated into this world, but looking at it now, he didn't even notice these basic interpersonal relationships, so how did he really integrate into it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

It's not easy for a person like him who is not in this world to truly blend in.

If the great magister Feinor is really the senior traveler, Lin Yuan feels that he understands his thoughts somewhat.

"I want to go home."

This world is not my home after all.

"Ms. Lin... Teacher Lin?" Seeing that Lin Yuan suddenly fell into deep thought, and the expression on his face was a little strange, the students couldn't help shouting worriedly.

Lin Yuan recovered his senses and saw that the students in Class [-], Grade [-] were all looking at him with concern in their eyes.

I couldn't help feeling warm in my heart.

Why should I force myself, anyway, there is no way to return to the original world.And in this world, there are also people who he cares about and care about him.

"Students, let's go!"

Lin Yuan greeted and took the lead in striding towards Wendnuo City.
