The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 2580: Xiao Xiao Down (Sixty-four)

If we talk about how the Robin of Schiller's universe is different from that of other universes, besides the fact that they have Bruce instead of Batman, in terms of strength, they have a skill that the Robins of other universes do not have, and that is magic.

Because the magic world in Schiller's universe had experienced a great disaster, and had been in a state of disrepair, taking advantage of this opportunity, the knowledgeable people in the magic world, or to be more precise, the disaster itself, opened up the other world in Gotham and established a magic academy here.

A few years later, Gotham's otherworld has been built up in a proper manner. In addition to the magic academy, four major ecosystems have been built. The first is the swamp ecosystem that belongs to the green of all things, the second is the heaven ecosystem used by Bruce to study heavenly things, the third is the hell ecosystem that establishes contact with Beelzebub and Azazel, and the third is the dark ecosystem that stores the energy of Barbatos.

The Gotham in the other world is a projection of the Gotham in the real world, so it has all the buildings in the real world. Combined with the landscape constructed by the energy lingering in these ecosystems, it reveals weirdness in fantasy and is more like Gotham than the Gotham in the real world.

In the swamp ecosystem, countless plants and buildings coexist, forming a steel forest of green and gray. All the buildings and roads in the paradise ecosystem emit light, and sacred songs echo in the misty clouds.

The Hell Ecosystem inherits the barbaric style of most areas in Hell. The tallest office building was converted into a palace by the Hell Demon King. Many obsidian spikes grew out of thin air in the good internationalist office building, and the interior was decorated in the retro style that the demon kings like. The Dark Ecosystem used to store Barbatos energy is like a haunted area in a ghost movie. It is filled with rich dark energy everywhere, and the buildings are dilapidated and corrupt. It can be said to be the episode that best fits the style of the otherworldly Silent Hill.

Schiller and Shivana's target is not any of these ecosystems, but the Gotham Academy of Magic located at the junction of four areas, which has been built into a large Hogwarts.

The reason why it is bigger than Hogwarts is that there are more students, plus the remaining faculty and staff who have nowhere to stay, and the magic here has incredibly destructive power, so naturally a larger space is needed.

Schiller first took Shivana around the school, looked at the scenery of the four ecosystems, introduced the source of power in these scenery, and then walked into the school with Shivana.

The school is still full of vitality. After entering the main gate, there is a common manor front yard. The square floor is paved with gray stone slabs. The sculpture in the middle of the fountain is a dragon in traditional Western mythology. The front porch is similar to the Pantheon in Rome, composed of Roman columns and arches.

However, there was a big hole on the square to the right of the porch, and several students were busy filling the hole. It was obvious that some magic was not performed properly and the square was blown up. There was also a group of people chasing a giant sparrow on the left. It seemed that they might want to do an animal experiment, but the animal ran away.

After entering the front hall, the view suddenly opens up. There are floating petals, flying elves, and the fountain water that flows down from mid-air but does not wet your clothes.

On the right is a row of busy magic elevators, surrounded by magical light, going up and down at a very fast speed. Countless students and faculty members shuttled between them, seemingly rushing to class.

The buildings of the four colleges have not been changed much. Schiller invited Shivana to visit the School of Magic Theory where he taught. It was located at the highest point of the school and required climbing many stairs to reach it.

Of course, the elevator was one of the few changes. Those floating steps looked nice, but they were too troublesome to walk on and it was easy to fall, so it wasn’t long before elevators were installed throughout the school.

But this time, Schiller led Sivana up the stairs and around the spire, overlooking the entire academy and even most of the otherworldly Gotham along the way.

"It's amazing." Sivana exclaimed, "I have to admit that this is the magical world I dreamed of when I was a child, not that pitch-black space."

"It's dark enough," Schiller said. "If you've ever been to the magical world of Maia, or a place called Kamar-Taj, you'll know what a true magical sanctuary is."

Shivana was very interested in this and urged Schiller to talk to him about it, but Schiller said, "When you become the president, you will have to go to these places for academic exchanges. You can see for yourself then."

Shivana was suddenly full of expectations for his life as a principal.

"It's no surprise that you were chosen by him, right?" Schiller asked Shivana as he walked up the stairs and turned to look at her.

"I don't know, but maybe." Sivana smiled and said, "I have always longed for magic, imagining that behind this boring world there is a more fantastic world that can allow me to embark on a legendary adventure."

"Is it because you really want it, or are you avoiding it?"

Xivana lowered his head, stroked the back of his hand and said, "When my family had not encountered any misfortune, it could not be called happiness. My father never liked me. He only liked my brother, but he never thought so."

"He claims to be a good father who treats everyone equally and upholds the principle of fairness, but he is not at all. What allows him to maintain this hypocritical appearance is my excellence."

"I never made any mistakes, so he couldn't find any reason to suppress me. Until that accident happened, he finally had a way to vent all his dissatisfaction on me."

"When I was little, I always felt something was wrong, but everyone praised him. I felt very depressed and wanted to escape desperately, but there was nowhere to escape. I could only let my spirit fly to escape the awkward and weird reality."

"But what's so special about this? Don't many children yearn for the magical world?" Sivana asked, "And you said I have no talent for magic, so why would I be his first choice?"

"It is precisely because you have no magical talent but yearn for the magical world that you are his choice." Schiller smiled with some contempt and said, "The easiest people to be exploited in this world are those whose desires and ambitions are greater than their abilities. I think the successor he found later was also such a person."

"What exactly is magical talent?" asked Shivana.

Schiller shook his head and said, "In fact, I don't know either, because I'm not a traditional magician. If you want to know, maybe I can introduce one to you."

They had already walked into the spire of the School of Magical Theory, which was a huge, wide circular space with countless curved bookshelves floating in the air. The light coming through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed for a panoramic view of the entire place, with even the dust in the air clearly visible.

Shivana watched all this with some obsession. He had never thought that peace and tranquility could blend so perfectly with the grand epic feeling.

At this time, many students were looking up information here. Some were writing furiously at tables on the ground or fixed to the wall. When they saw Schiller coming, they all greeted him with smiles.

Schiller walked through an entire circular hall, went out from another door, then went downstairs along the steps on the outer wall, took another elevator to his office, and gave Shivana a brief introduction to the current situation of the academy.

In fact, there is nothing special. Everything in the academy is running as usual. The Theoretical College does not have as many experimental contents as other academies. Most of the students are reading those difficult tomes and then writing articles.

This can be said to be a fantasy academy. Its main research work is to dig out theoretical knowledge that may be useful to modern people from various obscure and ancient magic books, and then write articles to inspire students from other academies and let them carry out practical research on this.

So the courses here are just lectures by Changsheng, and the students go back to study, and find time to get together for reading clubs to share and exchange theories they have discovered, and then propose a project. After the proposal is passed, they can start writing the article.

So far, all the teaching has been done by immortal beings from the Maia or other magical worlds, such as Madame Xanadu and Vivian and her lake sprites, several of Azazel's fallen angels, and even Lilith.

They don't need to teach these students anything. They just need to tell them the common sense of the era in which they live and have them read books with words that only they can recognize.

Senior students can probably crack one chapter a day, while junior students basically just tell stories. The angels and demons talk about the War of the Fallen, the Maia creatures talk about the stories of several great destructions of the Maia, and characters like Lilith who are related to the Bible basically tell the true situations of Bible stories.

Schiller took Shivana to sit in on half of the class. The lecturer was a demon general who was bragging in front of a group of little kids about Lord Beelzebub's glorious military achievements tens of thousands of years ago, with saliva flying all over the place.

"What's the point of this?" Sivana asked, "Will this knowledge help them master magic better?"

"Of course not, but humans themselves cannot master magic." Schiller said, "The essence of magic is trading. Humans cannot generate magical energy, and we cannot even fully control how magical energy works. We are just lenders."

"so……"

"So these stories are actually meant to help students understand the magical world, and more importantly, to help them understand the existence that may borrow their power in the future, to understand their habits, and to comprehend their tempers. This way, they will have an advantage when they try to be friendly with them in the future."

"So this is the Intelligence Department." Shivana smiled.

"You can understand it that way." Schiller nodded, not intending to deny it. He said, "Like I said before, if you had understood what kind of person that old man was when you were summoned, then all the tragedies that followed would not have happened."

"These stories are essentially about making students understand that although those indescribable powerful beings have extremely strong powers, they are intelligent beings and have emotions and desires."

"So you can be wary of their strength and covet their power, but it's best not to worship them, and you must not take their words as your guiding principle, otherwise you will surely die."

"Breaking authority?"

"That's right. When students see their human side, which is the same as their own, they naturally won't worship them as gods. You made this mistake at the beginning, didn't you?"

Sivana sighed and said, "It's not him I admire, but magic. However, he is really like the embodiment of magic."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to meet a traditional magician. Then you will lose all your beautiful fantasies about magicians."
