Professor of Magic

Chapter 215 Lesson 96 Why Are You Lazy

"Can you tell me what the purpose of educating students is?"

Lin Yuan opened his mouth, but instead of answering the question, he asked.

"Of course the students can become powerful magicians." Cook was just stunned, and then replied without thinking.

"Then what kind of magician can be considered powerful?" Lin Yuan asked again.

"Well..." Cook hesitated for a moment, glanced at the center of Feynor College, and then replied: "Like the dean of Fennor College, Your Excellency the Great Magister Firnas, is a powerful magician representative, and the goal of every student who studies magic."

"Then tell me again, Dean Huo... how did Firnas become a powerful magister?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Cook, but also the faces of everyone who was listening changed.

"Mr. Lin, your question..." Cook shook his head. "If I knew how to become a great magister, I wouldn't need to stand here now. But what does your question have to do with my question?"

"Of course it's related." Lin Yuan raised his voice. "First of all, I don't think the purpose of educating students is to make them all become powerful magicians. Every student is different, and every student has his own ideals, although the original intention of most students to learn magic is to become Powerful magicians, but there are still some students who just want to experience the fun of learning and researching magic, for them, it doesn't matter if they are powerful or not."

What Lin Yuan said was not nonsense, not to mention other students, only the students in the third class of the first grade that he was in charge of, like Vince, Feili and other students, were studying with this kind of mentality.

For these students, their own conditions are enough to allow them to live comfortably without learning magic. For them, learning magic is just out of interest.

"Secondly, aside from these students, let's take those students who want to become powerful magicians. Tell me, how to educate students so that they can become stronger?"

"Of course it is to seriously teach them magic and urge them to study and research hard. In this way, as their magic power gradually grows and they learn more and more magic, their strength will naturally become stronger." Cook answered smoothly It seems that this is not the first time he has answered Lin Yuan's question.

Seeing that other people were all in agreement, Lin Yuan couldn't help shaking his head slightly. These guys are still stuck in the cramming teaching method, so it's no wonder they don't understand their own methods.

"Ms. Lin, why don't you tell me what you think?" Divac interjected. "Since you can make these students so different, there must be a better way."

"My thoughts are indeed different from yours." Lin Yuan replied. "You have also heard me just now. I am only responsible for teaching them the basic magic theory, not the specific magic. As for what is the basic magic theory? You may think that it is nothing more than telling the students what magic elements are. How to mobilize the magic power in the body to condense the magic elements, and finally generate magic is as simple as that. But in my opinion, the basis of magic theory is far from being covered by these few aspects.”

Flipping his right hand, a small fireball suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

"For example, this is the simplest fireball technique." Lin Yuan let go, and the fireball disappeared instantly. Then he deliberately controlled his magic power, and summoned a fireball again at a speed that was at least ten times slower than the standard. "Under normal circumstances, the teacher will tell the students this way. First, first sense the nearby fire magic elements, then mobilize the magic power in your body, and slowly control these fire magic elements to form a circle in your palm. Ball shape, when the concentration of fire magic elements reaches a certain level, a fireball will be naturally formed."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Although he was shocked by Lin Yuan's ability to control the fireball so freely, Cook still couldn't help asking.

"There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but it misses a key process."

"What process?" A group of people asked inexplicably.

This process has been summed up by countless magicians after so many years, so how could there be mistakes or omissions.

"That's the process of self-thinking for the students." Lin Yuan replied with a rare solemn expression.

"Students thinking for themselves?"

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded. "I have seen the situation when a teacher in our college taught a student magic. I have to admit that she was very responsible and careful, almost guiding that student hand in hand, but the result was not ideal. It took an afternoon , I haven’t even made this student understand a simple rainstorm.”

"And when this student came to ask me for advice, it only took me two hours for him to cast it. Although the rainstorm technique still has a lot of flaws, it is already a real magic spell. gone."

Everyone's expressions were strange. Lin Yuan's words sounded like he was boasting.But they knew very well that Lin Yuan definitely didn't mean that now, and there was absolutely no need for him to use this to brag about himself.

"Lin, tell me the difference." Karan expressed the doubts in his heart on behalf of everyone. "Why does the same student have such a big difference in learning the same magic hand? Could it be that what you said just now left him with the process of self-thinking?"

"That's right." Lin Yuan nodded. "The teacher was too meticulous in educating the students, explaining every step of the magic to the students in detail, but in this way, the students just followed the steps she taught step by step. Although separated It seems that he has learned every step, but I think everyone knows that a magic is a whole, and there is no way to separate any step to make this magic succeed."

"But since the student understands how to do each step, why doesn't he connect these steps to form the final magic?" Another person asked.

"That's a good question." Lin Yuan smiled, and suddenly asked him, "Have you eaten today?"

"Ah?" The question jumped so fast that it took the man a long time to react, and he nodded in a daze. "Of course I ate it, why?"

"Then tell me, you have eaten a dish, and then let you go to the side to see the process of making this dish. Can you guarantee that you can make the same dish?"

The man frowned and thought about it, then shook his head slightly: "It's hard."

"That's right." Lin Yuan continued. "Casting magic and cooking are actually the same thing. The magic element is the raw material, and the magic power in our body is the tool. How to use the magic power to control the magic element to form magic is no different from how to use tools to make those ingredients delicious. This is a whole The process cannot exist alone. Although we can know each process, how to connect the processes still needs to be experienced by ourselves.”

Although Lin Yuan's metaphor was a bit weird, the truth was very easy to understand, so after listening to it, everyone just thought about it and couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Then Teacher Lin, how did you do it?"

"It's very simple." Lin Yuan smiled and spread his hands. "I did not do anything."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised again. "did nothing?"

"That's right." Lin Yuan recalled the day when the student came to find him, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slant. "I just told him, you just do what you want, I know you can do it, and then I didn't care about him. After two hours like this, he succeeded."

"It's that simple?" The group of people all stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief. "According to what you said, didn't this student develop the rainstorm technique himself? Are there so many geniuses in Feynor Academy?"

"Of course not." Lin Yuan shook his head and said. "Actually, from my point of view, this student's aptitude is average, probably only at the middle level among the students, far from being called a genius."

"Okay, I believe you." Karan gasped suddenly, stared at Lin Yuan, and said seriously: "Lin, now you can tell us why?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple, that is, you all underestimated your students." Lin Yuan replied. "Actually, under the teaching of that teacher, this student already knows a lot about Rainstorm Art, but because that teacher is too responsible and serious, this student can only repeat what he taught over and over again. The process. But each of us is different, and our understanding of magic is also different. What is correct in the eyes of the teacher may not necessarily be correct in the eyes of the students. What I have done is to let the student follow what he thinks is correct. It turns out that he did it, and he did it very well. Rainstorm, the second-level water magic, has become his best magic. In terms of this magic, I think many water magicians may not be able to use it. Can do better than him."

After saying this, Lin Yuan turned to Cook who was still pondering.

"Now let me answer your question, why did I only say so few words in one class? Because that's enough. You just watched for a long time, the students' discussion and the final practice, what do you think? "

Cook bowed his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "It's great. Before this, I never thought that a group of first-year students could understand magic so deeply. Teacher Lin, I have to admit that you are very good at magic. Educate students."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "I think you have forgotten what I said just now, don't underestimate these students. In fact, I just put forward a point of view in this class, and all the following things were discussed by themselves. Any guidance. And I can't see any problems with the results of the students' final discussion, so my summary is very short and few words. Oh, you said, lazy."

Cook couldn't help blushing, he had been educated by Lin Yuan for a long time, but he didn't know that Lin Yuan's way of doing this was actually the real wisdom.

Seeing that everyone was meaningless, Lin Yuan raised his head and found that although he had only talked for a while, the time still passed by quickly. At this time, the noisy voices in the academy gradually rang out. It seemed that the opening ceremony was getting closer and closer. getting closer.

"Okay, I have to prepare with the students for the opening ceremony later, so I won't accompany you all." After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

He didn't want to be caught by these guys and ask questions.

After he walked for a while, a group of people recovered as if they had just woken up from a dream.The discussion between them also turned to the education of students because of Lin Yuan's conversation.

Only Divac moved two steps, knelt down to pick up a leaf, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then stuffed the leaf into his pocket and followed up again.
