Professor of Magic

Chapter 88 Lesson 87 Being a Teacher's Teacher
Mia doesn't seem to be older than Lin Yuan, but she is already a martial saint. In the world of fighters, it can be said that she has officially entered an advanced level.

This kind of strength can be possessed at this age. Although Lin Yuan is not familiar with the world of fighters, he also knows that she can be called a genius no matter what.

In Lin Yuan's impression, as long as he is a genius, he will always have arrogance.This kind of arrogance makes them never easily admit that they are inferior, even in aspects they are not good at.

Since Mia is a martial saint, Lin Yuan thought she would have absolute confidence in teaching fighters.

Lin Yuan was really surprised that she was able to admit her lack of education so frankly now.

At the same time, he also saw from Mia's expectant expression that Mia was really asking for advice.

With her strength, Lin Yuan was really moved to be able to ask for advice from a person who was not yet familiar with her for her students.

Regardless of whether she is really able to educate students well, at least she is really thinking about the students.

This alone is enough to make Lin Yuan think she is a good teacher.

"Hey, Lin, tell me quickly, do you have any tricks? I found that your students are much better than the students of Fenol College I met before. Although I am not familiar with magic, I can't say it specifically, but I can feel it. You must have some special method. Tell me, do you need to have a good relationship with the students first? But I have a good relationship with the students..."

"Stop..." Lin Yuan quickly reached out his hand to stop Mia from continuing.Let her talk like this again, maybe the things he just thought of will be broken up. "Mia, you have to know that I am a teacher at the Magic Academy, and you are a teacher at the Fighter Academy. The teaching methods are different. How can you ask me to help you?"

"What does that matter?" Mia said nonchalantly. "My teacher said that no matter what you do, there are some common principles in it. I think we are all teachers, so there must be something in common."

"Who is your teacher? That makes sense."

"My teacher is the No. [-] Martial God in the mainland——Michael Canby." Speaking of her teacher, Mia immediately puffed up her chest, her face full of pride.

Lin Yuan was speechless secretly, never expecting Mia to have such a big background.

He had heard the name of Michael Camby before.As the number one martial god in the mainland, he became famous even earlier than the old man Hawke. It is said that he has been a martial god for more than 60 years.

For so many years, after experiencing countless ups and downs on the continent of Farinos, he still stands tall, making him a well-deserved number one fighter among fighters, and also the most admired object of fighters.

Although there are 6 Valkyries besides him on the Farinos continent, when it comes to Valkyrie, the first name that comes to everyone's mind is Michael Canby.

What such a character says is naturally reasonable.

No wonder Harman College allowed Mia to break the college convention and allow her students to try again. I'm afraid most of them are trying to sell the face of teacher Michael Canby.

"Okay, I admit that your teacher is right, but what do you want me to say..." Lin Yuan spread his hands. "It takes a lot of time to get along with the students and the method of educating the students. Moreover, these things are determined by the combination of some details. How can it be possible to explain clearly in a while. And you Let me say it now, I don't even know where to start."

Mia thought for a while, and expressed the doubts that had been in her heart since the afternoon.

Why didn't Lin Yuan give guidance to the students during the battle?
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The things in the battle obviously need to be understood by the students themselves. Why should I care so much?"

"What if what they comprehend is wrong?"

"Then change it again." Lin Yuan shrugged and didn't care. "Isn't that what we do as teachers?"

"Wouldn't that be a waste of time, just help them correct it during the battle." Although Mia didn't understand Lin Yuan's statement, she thought that Lin Yuan's was better after all, so she continued to ask questions patiently.

"But you ignore a problem. If you help the students correct it directly during the battle, then they won't have the space and leeway to think for themselves." Lin Yuan said seriously.This problem is a problem that many educators will encounter, but not many people really realize it.

"Space and leeway for my own thinking?" Mia couldn't understand this sentence at all.For a long time, what she saw in Harman College was that the teacher taught what she had learned to the students in order, but she didn't think about it.

Seeing her confused look, Lin Yuan reminded: "When your teacher was teaching you, wouldn't he teach you carefully no matter how big or small it is?"

Mia tilted her head and thought for a while and said: "That's not true. When the teacher taught me, he only taught me a set of basic fighting qi cultivation methods according to my physique. He didn't teach anything else. Even now I know Swordsmanship is all pieced together by myself. I used to think that the teacher didn't like me, and he didn't want to teach me as carefully as he taught my senior brothers. But now, hearing you say it like this, is it for my own good? "

When Mia tilted her head and asked the question, she seemed a bit naive.Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Then tell me, among the several students of your teacher, which one has the highest achievement?"

"Of course it's Big Brother. He's already a high-level Martial Saint. To be honest, as long as he persists, he will become a Martial God within ten years."

"How old is your elder brother?" Lin Yuan asked.

"He just had his 45th birthday last month."

"That's 45 years old, how old are you now?"

"I'm not even 23 yet. Wait, it's rude to ask a lady her age."

"Then what was your elder brother's strength when he was your age?"

"Eldest brother... Lin, are you saying that my achievement is actually higher than that of senior brother? You don't know fighters well, maybe you don't know that fighters are more difficult to improve in the future. Although I am a junior martial artist now, I have to become an advanced Wu Sheng still needs many years..."

"I thought you were a very confident person." Lin Yuan thought about her words with a smile. "If the title of No. [-] Martial God in the mainland is correct, then I believe that you will achieve higher achievements than your elder brother."

"Why? Is it because the teacher let me go?" Although Mia was not an idiot, she was confused by Lin Yuan's series of questions.

"Of course it's not laissez-faire. In my hometown, this is called cultivating students' self-awareness." Lin Yuan pointed to the students beside him and said, "Mia, when you were learning martial arts, did you feel that what the teacher taught It often takes several times to remember something, but you can't forget what you understand?"

Mia nodded: "How do you know?"

"You see, this is the importance of self-awareness. Because what you understand is your own, it is not easy to forget it, and it is more suitable for you. So if you can have a self-awareness in the right direction, then the learning speed will be very fast. Hurry up." Lin Yuan continued. "Although you said that your teacher doesn't teach you very much, I'm sure that he observes you all the time. As long as you make some deviations, he will definitely come out and correct them. But when you have no major mistakes, he will I don’t care about you. Besides, if I’m not wrong, was he very strict with you in the early stages of your martial arts learning?”

"Yeah, he was a different person a few years ago. He made me practice from morning to night every day without stopping. But since I reached the level of 2 fighters, he didn't care much about it."

"That's right. This is another key point of education, called the foundation. In any study, the foundation is the most important thing. Your teacher is right to strictly demand you." Lin Yuan pointed to the third class of the first grade. students. "My students are different. When they came to Feynor College, they have been taught the basic knowledge. Although I am dissatisfied with some of them, the basics cannot be changed in a short time. It can only be strengthened slowly. Therefore, when I teach them now, I pay great attention to cultivating their self-awareness. If their self-awareness is strong enough, they will be able to discover their own mistakes and find ways to improve. You don’t need me to guide you.”

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Mia finally understood a little bit.

I dare say that she has been working so hard to teach each student hand in hand, but it is not good for them.

This made Mia feel a little discouraged, but she also noticed the performance of Lin Yuan's students in the afternoon.

It is true that they occasionally make mistakes, but as Lin Yuan said, they can correct them in time after making mistakes, and they will not make the same mistakes in the future.

On the other hand, my students don't have this kind of adaptability, and they often make the same mistakes many times. Even if she corrects them, they still make them.

A few students who were not bright enough even required her to correct them many times before they learned not to make the same mistakes.

It was precisely because of this difference that Mia had the idea of ​​asking Lin Yuan to find out.

Seeing Mia's thoughtful look, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Katyusha.

Katyusha often asked Lin Yuan some questions about educating students, and finally compiled Lin Yuan's theories into a book, allowing Lin Yuan to enjoy the pleasure of being a teacher.

Originally thought that Katyusha would return to the Maginot Empire after this semester, and he would no longer be able to experience this kind of pleasure, but now a Mia appeared and asked him to review it.
