Mage? Spell Engineer!

Rorschach noticed that things always happened in a rush. Last month, he could arrange his own study and life independently, but now in the past few days, the boy suddenly found that he needed magic that could create clones.

In order to allow Rorschach to get funding as quickly as possible, Master Kano thoughtfully informed him that the thesis defense was advanced. Rorschach was also reminded to prepare lessons, select or compile teaching materials for basic alchemy at the Valuauna Normal School. Well the latter embarrassment was entirely due to Rorschach forgetting about it.

With tears in his eyes, he thanked his mentor for his great kindness.

Since His Majesty the King did not contribute much money and the Tower of Stars was not very interested in this school, many seats on the board of directors of Valluana Normal University were taken over by sponsors. Upon closer inspection, many big bosses were backed by the magic industry. Yes, so the guild will be quite satisfied with this result.

Nowadays, if the children of many mage families do not inherit magic talents and cannot become apprentices, they plan to send their children to study at a normal college; trading companies will use the quotas allocated after sponsorship, both to train heirs and to reward middle-level partnerships. People, even children in small families.

The "own" children of the above magic guilds account for half of the 300 preparatory students in this batch, making the sponsors feel that their money is well spent. The remaining half of the entrants were selected from voluntary schools and monasteries organized by the church. Although the guild could no longer interfere with the beliefs of these students, at the unanimous request of the king and sponsors, the church promised not to accept graduates to become clergy. .

"Can the Church of Order agree?" Luo Xia was shocked. Is there such a reverse selection of students?

Cano explained: "This was personally agreed by the Bishop of St. Miller's Cathedral. In exchange, he proposed that outstanding graduates should be given priority in receiving allocations from the kingdom."

In fact, Du Plessis's point of view is consistent: if the students who spend so much effort in training end up going back to the monastery to chant scriptures, and they themselves cannot learn the magic, joining the church can only debate with others, plant peas, and make wine. It is of no use to the country.

There are many newspaper giants among the sponsors. Normal University has obviously only recruited the first batch of preparatory students, and the opening ceremony has been covered. These newspapers are bragging about it. The slogan is "to cultivate the best teachers for the advancement of human wisdom and art!" Among the people in the market, it seems to be regarded as the Holy Kingdom, not the No. 1 school in the mainland.

After returning from the secondary plane, Rorschach was fed up with the excitement and did not attend the opening ceremony. The next day, when it was time for his class, he entered the "Kingdom's No. 1 School" with lesson plans and classroom equipment. .

The current location of the college is the same as Rorschach's alma mater. It is also a castle with a courtyard. The back-shaped structure is divided into two teaching areas, one side is the office area and the other is the accommodation area. However, the students and families of this year are all genuine Not many of the old Valouana people actually live on campus.

"Teacher Luo Xiafa, this is the teaching building. Your class schedule should indicate the classroom. Do you need me to accompany you?" The school staff introduced the layout of the college to Luo Xia. Since the current teachers are seconded here and there, Only in the teaching and research department, no teacher has an independent office, and Luo Xia didn't go to see one.

I can sneak away after class, so I don’t need an office at all!

The space in the classroom was not large. After entering, Rorschach took a quick look at about forty people sitting there. Master Snow was sitting at the back of the classroom, and he nodded to Rorschach. There was also an old man who was listening. He was lean and sat upright. He kept his gray beard, but he did not let it grow. Instead, he trimmed it into a neat beard.

Rorschach also felt the old man's temperament in the body of the agency chief. Apparently he is also a soldier, or he once was.

Why is there such a person listening? However, when he saw Master Snow, he didn't notice anything strange. Luo Xia also pretended not to see it and started teaching the new students.

All the students were sitting quietly and upright in their seats. Their clothes were not as good as those of the apprentices in the Tower of Stars, nor were they as "greasy" as the middle- and upper-level apprentices. They were not surprised when facing teachers who were considered their peers. The eyes looking at Rorschach were full of innocence. Just think of them as eyes eager for knowledge. The discipline was better than that of the apprentices, which made it easier for Rorschach.

After introducing himself, Rorschach unfolded the props for the experiment as planned. He planned to perform well in the first class and trick these newcomers into a trap first, using the usual methods of chemistry teachers in his previous life.

"Before the course officially starts, we will do a small experiment first. Please ask the students by the window to close the curtains, thank you." After saying this, Rorschach turned off the lights in the classroom.

The entire space darkened. Rorschach struck a match and lit the alcohol blowtorch. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the light blue outer flame and light yellow inner flame of the blowtorch.

"Students, please pay attention to the color of the flame." Yes, Rorschach wanted to experiment on the flame color reaction. He thought that this little trick was easy to prepare and the demonstration effect was good.

He pinched the air bag of the watering can. Originally, the watering can on the market in Valouana was used to hold perfume, but the watering can in Rorschach's hand now contained an ethanol solution of copper chloride. A small amount of the solution is sprayed into the flame of the alcohol lamp, and is instantly vaporized and ignited by the high temperature, producing a beautiful green flame.

He also prepared watering cans filled with boric acid-ethanol solution and potassium chloride-ethanol solution. It takes a lot of effort to make these things in this world. In addition to boric acid, which is readily available, potassium chloride is obtained by leaching Rorschach from burning plant ashes. , filtered, and obtained by adding hydrochloric acid dropwise.

Unfortunately, my efforts didn't seem to have the expected results. Why was the classroom still so quiet? Give me some reaction!

Rorschach expected that the students below the stage should say "Oh~", but through the light of the blowtorch, the teacher on the podium only saw the expressionless students below the stage, who still looked at him with clear eyes. Operation, but now it seems that Rorschach's eyes are dull.

To activate the classroom atmosphere. Luo Xia, a non-normal student in his previous life, thought of interacting with students.

"Look, we just successfully changed the color of the flames. Are there any classmates who want to try it too?"

Rorschach waited for a long time, and finally a student broke the silence. He said carefully: "But we don't know magic, Teacher Rorschach."

It turns out that's what these guys think.

"May I have your name?"

"Louis, sir." Is the teacher angry? The student began to regret his initial answer. Louis had gone to school in the church's free school before, and he had often tasted the taste of punishment. In order to maintain order in the classroom, those monk teachers would wield the bright whip at any time.

"Okay Louis, please come to the stage and be careful not to trip over it."

After the student stood on the stage, Rorschach handed him the spray bottle of potassium chloride ethanol solution: "Please spray this lamp. Don't squeeze the air bag too hard, and don't spray it on the classmates."

Louis could only do as he was told. What he and other students did not expect was that his operation also successfully changed the color of the flame. Although the interference of the yellow light of sodium ions was not completely eliminated, the purple light of potassium ions was still clearly visible.

There was a small commotion in the classroom. But that's exactly what Rorschach wanted.

The color of potassium ions is not easy to observe. Rorschach asked Louis to spray it again, and then picked up the last watering can: "Louis can go down now, thank you for your cooperation. Who else wants to change the third color?"

"Me!" "Me, teacher!" The class finally became active, and Rorschach chose a girl this time. The flame color of boric acid is also green, but it is more yellow than copper, making it a beautiful emerald green.

The light returned to the classroom, and Rorschach packed up the experimental equipment: "Louis just said that you don't know magic, but as you can see, changing the color of the flame does not require someone to manipulate the ether. In fact, from the moment you walk into this classroom I haven’t used any magic since."

This is why Rorschach deliberately used a match to light the alcohol blowtorch: "In the first class, I want to tell you that alchemy is a subject that studies the transformation of matter and the creation of new things. I am even willing to call it an art, even though Even if you are not a spell caster, you can still do things comparable to magic with your own knowledge."

After finishing speaking, some students raised their hands and asked: "So can we achieve things that magic cannot do?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Snow and the old man who were listening were waiting with great interest to hear Rorschach's answer.

Due to a fever, a splitting headache, and many other symptoms, I used up two large packs of tissue paper yesterday and today. The typing has become slow, but there will be a second update tonight.
