Professor of Magic

Chapter 155 Benefits Behind Lesson 36

Things really are not small.

When Lin Yuan and Director Mindos came to the vice president's office together, Vice President Capacci was sitting behind the desk, staring at a letter in his hand and frowning, with a worried expression on his face.

It has been more than half a year since Lin Yuan arrived at Fenol College, and he has had many contacts with Vice President Capaci.Aside from seeing him act like a standard college leader in front of outsiders, in private he usually has a serious expression and is meticulous.

Only after the final exam of last semester, Lin Yuan saw his expression soften during the long talk in front of the college cafeteria. At other times, he was as calm as a stone.

Such a vice president actually frowns upon reading a letter, which shows that the matter is serious.

"Let's take a look." Seeing Lin Yuan coming in, Capaci sighed and handed over the letter in his hand.

Lin Yuan glanced at the logo of the Magician's Guild on the letter and wondered.

It hasn't been long since the last letter from the Magician's Union, why did it come again so soon?

After receiving the letter and reading it, Lin Yuan couldn't help frowning like Vice President Capaci.

It turned out that what was mentioned in the letter was still related to the last time, that is, it was related to the reform of the education system.

The last time President Smig sent a letter to Fenol Academy, he hoped that Fenol Academy and other high-level magic academies could open two magic academies, one for beginners and one for intermediate, and then use their own fame to recruit students.

Lin Yuan strongly agreed with this plan when he first saw it, because in this way, the reform of the education system can be spread from one point to another, and eventually the seeds of reform will gradually grow, and then affect the whole of Farinos mainland.

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that the step taken by President Smeg was very correct, but now what is described in this letter is a fact that surprised and shocked him greatly.

Among the more than 200 high-level magic academies in the whole mainland, only 47 of them agreed with Chairman Smig's proposal, and the remaining nearly 200 high-level magic academies actually expressed their opposition either directly or tactfully.

"Why?" Lin Yuan couldn't help being a little angry after reading the letter.

When the reform of the education system was being discussed in Finland City, representatives from all the magic schools were present. Of course, they all agreed with it and had no intention of opposing it.

But why waited until President Smeg thought of this method and was about to implement reforms, these guys jumped out to express their dissent one by one?
Deputy Dean Kapaqi looked at Lin Yuan with an angry expression, and shook his head: "Lin, you are still too young. When we were in Finnish City, everyone discussed together, and it was under the nose of President Smiger. , and how many people would raise objections at that time."

"But during the discussion at that time, President Smeger had already made it very clear about the benefits of successful reforms. And the vice president of Reynolds College, Karan, also analyzed it so clearly. Why did they still object?" Lin Yuan added asked.

"Benefits?" The smile on Vice President Capaci's face was a little more mocking. "If Lin's reform can be successful, then for the advanced magic academy, it will be nothing more than more students. But what benefits can more students bring to the magic academy?"

"Isn't it a benefit to have more students?" Lin Yuan waved his arms, dissatisfied with the words of Vice President Capaci. "Besides, as a magic academy, if you have to worry about training students, what are the benefits, are they still worthy of education?"

Vice President Capaci and Director Mindos looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yuan glared at them, but was finally defeated in the eyes of their elders looking at their juniors.

Taking a breath, he calmed down his emotions.

Lin Yuan also knew that what he said just now was undoubtedly too naive.

Even in the original world where the education system was very complete, no school would say that it was very pure and cultivated students with a selfless purpose.If there is no benefit, who would be willing to bother so much.

On the mainland of Farinos, the Academy of Magic is not an educational institution in the strict sense, but the product of the former magicians who learned that teaching together is more efficient based on years of experience.

If it wasn't for the drastic transformation made by Fenor, a traveler, 300 years ago, I'm afraid that the teaching and learning of magic on the Farinos continent would still be like an apprentice system.

Under such a background, how can other magic schools be expected to do something without benefit?
"But..." Lin Yuan thought for a while and continued. "If this matter is successfully implemented, there will naturally be more students on the mainland who can learn magic. And when there are more students, there will be more people who can leave the academy to become senior magicians. And these students will definitely have a sense of belonging to the academy. When they grow up, they will definitely repay the academy, and the benefits should be obvious."

"Lin, your thinking is too simple." Vice President Capaci shook his head: "Of course, this may be because you have been in our Feynor College all the time, and the things you see are limited. strangeness."

Lin Yuan remained silent, for this, he could only admit it.In the original world, he was just an ordinary teacher.Although he has made considerable achievements on the Farinos continent, most of these achievements still rely on his innate spiritual attributes and the educational experience accumulated in the original world for thousands of years.

His own knowledge and opinions, after all, still can't be compared with that of Vice President Capaci, who has been in the position of real power in the number one magic academy in the mainland for decades.

"Students graduating from the Mainland Advanced Magic Academy, if they work hard enough, achieve outstanding results, and become senior magicians, they usually have three choices." Vice President Capaci continued to explain. "The first is to serve the country where you are. You can enjoy the support of the country without any material worries. You only need to be sent when the country needs it. Generally speaking, this need is war. Second, join a large mercenary group .Although you will have to go through a lot of danger because of this, but the advantage is freedom, and at the same time, the income is high, even better than the state's support. These two choices can be said to be the choices of most magic academy graduates. If you pay more attention to our For the fourth-year students in the college, you should be able to see that most of them have already started to rush for their future."

Lin Yuan nodded, he also understood the situation.

This is the same as the college graduates in the original world, they have to find a job for themselves before graduation and prepare for the future.

"Then there is the third choice. In fact, the third choice is not just a choice, but a variety of choices besides the first two choices. For example, becoming a private hired magician of a great nobleman, becoming a single mercenary, etc., but There are not many people who choose this way, so I will group them together.”

Glancing at Lin Yuan, Capaqi asked back: "How much do you think these three options have to do with the academy?"

"But there are more students leaving the college, no matter what they do in the future, they will help the college to some extent?" Lin Yuan said.

Capaci shook his head: "Lin, you still don't understand. Although what you said makes sense, this kind of help is really minimal. Unless there are a few outstanding figures among the students, it is possible to be of great help to the college. But how many outstanding characters will be truly restricted by the academy?"

"If you want to talk about our Feynor College, then you are wrong." Before Lin Yuan could ask, Capaci said again. "Our Feynor Academy is arguably different from any other magic academy in the mainland. Since the founding of the academy, the Great Magister of Feynor has emphasized a principle, that is, students should be the most important. So he created a completely different magic school from before. At the same time, it left behind a lot of school rules and mottos. After all, Lin, you didn’t come here much, so you probably didn’t understand it. But I believe that you should have some understanding of this when the college festival comes.”

Speaking of this, Vice President Capaci's face showed some pride. "The people of our Feynor Academy, whether teachers or students, are different from other magic academies. This is the main reason why we can always be the number one magic academy in the mainland."

Lin Yuan agrees with this point. When he was in Finland City, he saw many students from other magic academies. Compared with them, the students of Feynor Academy are indeed more free-spirited.And the students of Class [-], Grade [-] led by Lin Institute are the best among them.

If Lin Yuan was still amazed by this before, he now understands that all of this originated from the great magister Fenor who founded this magic academy 300 years ago.

Since Fenol is a time traveler, it is not surprising that Fenol Academy is a little different from other academies.

"Of course, these words are false. The real reason is not because of these, but because of the things suggested by Smig, which touched the interests of some people." Vice President Capaci sighed.

"Benefits? Why?" Lin Yuan was curious.

Vice President Kapaqi found him today, of course he didn't just talk casually, but also wanted to mention Lin Yuan's thoughts in his heart. Hearing his question, he replied: "It's very simple. Smig's proposal is to let Each of our senior colleges organizes junior and intermediate colleges to train children who want to learn magic. But has Lin ever thought that before this, on the mainland of Farinos, there were a large number of junior magicians who were responsible for these things? What about the academy?"

Lin Yuan suddenly realized.

"You mean, if this thing is carried forward, it will steal the business of those junior magic schools?" After thinking about it, I felt wrong. "But there are more than tens of millions of children with magical talents on the mainland. Among them, there are probably several million who have the conditions to study in magic academies. Although there are thousands of junior magic academies on the mainland, it is impossible You can accept all of them. There are 200 or so more, it is nothing to them. Besides, what does this have to do with this matter?"

"If there are many junior magic schools, what if the current advanced magic schools are behind it?"

Lin Yuan was stunned by the words of Vice President Capaci.

"You mean... these high-level magic academies who oppose the proposal have actually opened junior magic academies?" Lin Yuan asked slowly after a while.

"I'm not sure all of them are, but it's true," Capaci said. "Lin, I seem to have heard that when you were in Finland, you met people from Wells College?"

"Ah?" Lin Yuan froze for a moment, remembering that Shi Ang. "I've seen it before, why?" Then he reacted. "You mean Wells College is one of them?"

"That's right." Kapaqi nodded. "As far as I know, near the city of Salo where Wells College is located, there are three junior magic academies that they secretly support."

After some explanations from Vice President Kapaqi, Lin Yuan finally understood.

The reason why these students objected was nothing more than the word interest.

President Smig's proposal is good, but the problem lies in the "free" of the Junior Magic Academy.

According to his experience at Simpson's house during the winter vacation, Lin Yuan knew that the junior magic academy in Stim City charged 10 gold coins for tuition for a student a year.

Although this amount is a lot for the Simpson family, strictly speaking, it is not a lot, which is just Lin Yuan's salary for one month.

But now the junior magic academy on the Farinos continent, because the teaching is very simple, and the management of the students is also very loose, so the overall investment cost is very low.

And every year there are countless children who dream of being a magician, and there are not a few of them who are willing to spend money.Calculated in this way, after one year, the income of the Junior Magic Academy is really not low.

Low cost, high yield.

Adding the two together, the Junior Academy of Magic is no different from a treasury.

It's no wonder that those advanced magic academies who supported the junior magic academies behind their backs were unwilling.

The reason why they didn't oppose it when they were in Finland was not only that it was not easy to oppose it under the circumstances at the time, but the more important reason was that they hadn't thought that the reform would violate their interests.

When they find that President Smeg's proposal will make them lose a lot of income, they will naturally oppose it.

Of course, if there are only a few hundred more junior magic academies, the impact will not be great.

But according to this proposal, I'm afraid that all the junior magic academies will be free at that time, and the loss will be great.

Lin Yuan read the letter again and found that President Smig didn't mention any more matters in this regard. He just hoped in his heart that Fenol College, which agreed to this plan, would continue to support it and actively prepare for it. It is necessary to promote this reform with the help of these 47 advanced magic academies.

"Your Excellency, Vice President, may I use the pen?" Lin Yuan said.

"Huh? Are you going to write back to Smig again?" Capacci smiled slightly, and handed the pen to Lin Yuan. "Shouldn't it be only four words this time?"

"Of course not." Lin Yuan blushed, took the pen, sat down at the desk, and wrote quickly.

This time, he wrote far more than just 4 words.

Seeing Lin Yuan's serious reply, Vice President Capaci and Director Mindos looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

The reason why Lin Yuan also knew about these things was that he, the person who first proposed the reform, could give Smig some good suggestions.

As the vice president of Feynor College, what he saw was far more than what Lin Yuan could think of.

This time, the opposition from nearly 200 high-level magic academies did not surprise him.

Because before that, he already knew the situation of the mainland Magic Academy like the back of his hand.

I didn't say it at the time, but I just took the opportunity to see which colleges agreed with it and which ones opposed it.

Capacci didn't care about the objections from other magic schools at all, because it didn't affect Feynor Academy at all.

As the number one magic academy in the mainland, and also the only magic academy that has always been headed by a great magister, Feynor Academy's detached status on the Farinos continent is not comparable to that of ordinary academies.

Although Reynolds Academy and Pamir Academy are also the four major magic academies in the mainland, the vice president of Capaci actually doesn't really think highly of them.

What he was really worried about was Smeg's attitude.

This time, such a large number of advanced magic schools expressed their opposition, which was undoubtedly a challenge to Smeg's prestige.

Based on Vice President Capacci's understanding of Smig, I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to understand.

Thinking of this, Kapaqi glanced at Lin Yuan again.

He sincerely hoped that Mr. Lin, who was always surprising, could provide some good solution to solve this problem.
