Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.
Chapter 17 Extraordinary strength does not necessarily equate to increased intelligence!
The "White Elephant Tower" is one of the public school buildings in the Black Forest City, and its exterior is painted with white paint made of pearl powder.
Teaching buildings like these are actually quite common in the wizarding academy of the Black Forest City.
Normally, the formal wizards of each wizard tower would teach wizard apprentices of all grades in these teaching buildings, according to the curriculum arranged by the academic committee.
The next afternoon, Wayne arrived at classroom 302 in Building 4 with his quill pen, books, and other study tools.
There were already a few students sitting inside.
Wayne found a corner seat by the window and sat down.
In front of him were several wizard apprentices who looked glamorous and well-dressed, a stark contrast to his poor student self.
When Wayne sat down, he could hear them still whispering and talking amongst themselves.
"It seems like there are very few people in this class. Usually, other wizard instructors' classes are packed, but this class looks like there are hardly any people..."
"It's because Professor Morse looks so scary, like a demon from hell."
"Yes, I wouldn't have come here if it weren't for the fact that I've recently lost some credits in my witchcraft course."
"I heard that because of the White Wizard Association's ban on conducting biological experiments on humans, Professor Morse decided to experiment on himself to test the effects of certain biological modifications, since that way those old scholars in the White Wizard Association wouldn't say anything."
"That's why I've transformed myself into this inhuman, ghost-like appearance; it's really scary..."
Just as they were talking, footsteps sounded outside the classroom.
Professor Morse walked in from outside, carrying a thick book, and entered the classroom.
The wizard apprentices who had been discussing this quickly lowered their voices, and one of them whispered a reminder.
"Shh! Keep your voices down, or Professor Morse will hear us talking badly about him!"
"Oh, so what? He's not our direct mentor; we belong to a different wizarding tower. He wouldn't dare do anything to us..."
However, despite saying that, they all kept quiet and stopped whispering to each other.
Instead, he sat up straight and pretended to start listening to the lesson.
After entering the classroom, Professor Morse placed the large book he was carrying on the podium.
The goat's vertical pupils swept around the room, and after his gaze landed on the empty seats, his eyes darkened.
However, he didn't say much more.
He coughed once, cleared his throat, and said.
"Alright, now, let's officially begin class! Today's lesson is... about the basic theoretical knowledge of biology."
Next, Mentor Morse snapped his fingers and cast a simple magic circle.
Then, the words "Biological Evolution" appeared on the blackboard made of magic crystals.
"As we all know, in nature, organisms undergo self-renewal and iteration... that is to say, organisms evolve during their growth process."
"According to the prevailing research findings in the biological wizarding community, the cause of biological evolution is believed to be 'use and disuse'."
"In other words, organs that are frequently used by organisms will become developed, while organs that are not frequently used will gradually degenerate."
"Just like the brain, the more you use it, the more flexible it becomes, while if you don't use it for a long time, it becomes a rusty chain that can hardly function properly."
"Furthermore, the organ atrophy caused by long-term habit changes can be inherited by one's offspring."
"For example, the gray giraffes in the Black Forest developed long necks because they eat tall leaves, while moles have lost their eyesight due to living in burrows. This is the inherent mechanism of biological evolution in nature..."
Now, below the podium, Wayne is sitting in his seat.
Hearing his mentor Morse recount the theory of biological evolution, he frowned slightly.
What my advisor said... seems a bit off.
According to the views of 21st-century biology on Earth in my previous life, the theory that Professor Morse is now explaining is actually wrong.
The reason why organisms evolve through generations is that they have the instinct to undergo "genetic mutation".
This naturally leads to different trait characteristics.
Then, through natural selection, species that can survive survive, while those that cannot are eliminated.
In other words, even if the environment in which the organism reproduces remains unchanged, the organism itself can reproduce.
However, offspring also have a certain probability of gene mutations, leading to different physiological structural changes.
This is an instinct of organisms when their genes combine DNA, and then they are selected by nature, through natural selection, and the fittest survive.
The so-called "use it or lose it" principle was a conclusion that was already proven wrong by scientists from the previous Earth in the 19th century.
"To be honest, is this really a limitation of ancient scientific research? Even the wizarding world, where extraordinary powers exist, is no exception."
"Extraordinary strength does not necessarily equate to enhanced intelligence. In the research process, it is unavoidable to stray from the right path, leading to fundamental errors in the overall direction of the theory..."
Wayne pondered.
However, after thinking about it, Wayne didn't immediately mention the theory that his mentor Morse was currently explaining.
Because Morse is currently giving a lesson.
It's not appropriate to say something like that in a public setting, after all... as a student, shouldn't you at least try to save face for your professor? At his age, how embarrassing would it be to be contradicted in public by a student?
Besides, I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off, and I don't want to attract too much attention in the classroom.
So Wayne shook his head slightly, deciding to keep quiet for now.
After class, or after returning to the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower.
In your spare time, you can discuss these matters with your mentor, Morse.
......
Soon after class, when Wayne finished packing his things and was about to leave the classroom...
Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice rang out from behind him.
Hello, classmate~~ How are you?
When Wayne turned around, he saw the same students who had been whispering and discussing Morse's situation before class.
One of them was a girl with golden, wavy hair and a pretty face.
Now, she is looking at me with a gentle, affectionate smile.
Although she was wearing a wizard's robe, it couldn't hide her slender waist and curvaceous figure.
The hem of the wizard's robe was specially cut with lace, resembling a blooming flower.
Below her were delicate little leather shoes, paired with white lace socks, revealing her fair, rounded calves, making her look playful and cute.
