Did the villainous professor survive today?

"Hey, tell me, what do you want to do to make sure that villain Klenk Ludwig dies no matter what?"

"This is so difficult... This is simply impossible."

"Yes, yes! All the characters' actions are controlled by AI, with thousands of endings. What if a bug occurs in any branch?"

"By the way! Team leader, if a player cheats in the game, stays close to Kroenke, and kills everyone who poses a threat to him, wouldn't Kroenke be able to survive?"

"Wait a minute, could you create a character that even if a player uses cheats in the early game, they still can't kill?"

"Even with cheats, you can't kill him?"

"Yes, for example, you could give this supporting character an absolute hatred for Kroenke, and make him not very powerful in the early stages, but no matter what, he will definitely survive and grow to the point where he can kill Kroenke, thus providing a safety net for the plot."

"Even with cheat codes, I can't kill him, tsk tsk, I think I have an idea, hiss..."

"Team leader?"

"Quiet! I'm thinking!"

"..."

"I understand! I understand! How about we create a supporting character with the ability to rewind time after death?"

"Oh? Death reversal? That's a good idea."

"Okay, that's it! Death Rewind!"

"How can we confirm that she harbors absolute hatred for Krenk?"

"Isn't that simple? Kroenke is an academic fraudster, so let him steal her father's academic work, 'The Theory of Affinity of Elements,' and then ruin her family. Wouldn't that solve everything?"

"Good idea, so what should we name this supporting character?"

"As for a name, I've decided, I'll call her—"

"Meiwen Caster".

Faced with Krenk's questioning, Mayun calmly revealed her name.

Her calm gaze held a hint of intensity, as she desperately tried to conceal the excitement and joy of facing her enemy.

"Meiwen Caster, you have violated classroom rules. I will deduct five points from your participation grade."

Kroenke's voice was almost completely flat.

Krenk silently observed the other party and the S-level death threat displayed by the system, showing no sign of losing his composure.

[Immense Charm: You never feel nervous because of the gaze of others, nor do you act in a way that is unbecoming of a nobleman due to unexpected events.]

"Yes, I know I'll lose points, teacher, but I still hope you can demonstrate the wonders of this magic to me in person."

Meiwen insisted.

She raised her hands, and a ball of fire and a spring of water emerged from her hands, then merged together.

The next moment, thick, white vapor rose from the point where the elements collided, then quickly dispersed, becoming ethereal and invisible.

Then, Meiwen looked up at Krenk, her tone urgent:

"Teacher, no matter how I try, I can't reproduce the affinity phenomenon you described, making water and fire fuse together instead of evaporating into steam. So, I think Professor Krenk, the pioneer who proved the theory of element affinity, can surely answer my question!"

"You cast a spell in class without my permission, so I'll deduct another five points from your score!"

"I just want the teacher to see where I went wrong. If you could demonstrate the process in front of me, maybe seeing your demonstration will help me improve."

Mei Wen said stubbornly.

She raised this question in public to expose Krenk's disguise and embarrass him in front of all the students.

Mei Wen thought to herself, "I absolutely cannot give him any room to take advantage of the situation."

"No, even if I demonstrate it to you in front of everyone, you won't make any progress," Krenk denied.

"But, teacher..."

"Meiwen Caster! Do I need to reiterate the classroom rules?!"

Krenk's eyes suddenly flashed with a chilling light. He looked down at his opponent with disdain, like a snake on a high place staring at a frog at the bottom of a well. He spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Don't interrupt my rhythm!"

Seeing Krenk's fierce appearance, Meiwen subconsciously shivered and shut her mouth.

After noticing that the other person had fallen completely silent, Krenk pressed on:

Question: What is the necessary condition for elemental affinity to occur?

Mei swallowed hard: "Proficient in at least two elemental magics..."

"Anything else?!"

"And... activate your spiritual vision."

What is the relationship between these two?

"You mentioned in your paper," Meiwen replied cautiously, "that the relationship between the two is like that of grape juice and yeast..."

"Have you activated your spiritual vision?"

Krenk leaned down and stared intently into Meiwen's eyes.

"No...no." Meiwen avoided eye contact.

"Can you turn grape juice into wine without yeast?"

No, it can't.

"Then please tell me, what will grape juice eventually become without yeast?"

Kroenke's barrage of oppressive questions made Mayen feel as if she wasn't answering questions, but rather trying to avoid drowning:

"It will...it will get moldy."

"So, Meiwen, will you become that bottle of moldy grape juice?"

Without giving Mayon any chance to reply, Klenk returned to the podium and once again pounded the ground heavily with his cane.

"Human eyes can always distinguish between good and bad things faster than hands. However, without cultivating discerning eyes, the hands that create works will not improve."

Kroenke pointed to his temple with his right hand and explained.

"I'm not trying to boast, nor am I targeting anyone in particular. I'm simply stating a fact: the world you all see is completely different from the world I see."

Kroenke took a deep breath and said,

"So, don't blink. Next, I will show you the world I have seen in detail."

If it were the predecessor, it would have skipped this topic without hesitation.

The reason is simple: the predecessor did not have spiritual vision, and all preparations had to be made in advance if he wanted to demonstrate elemental affinity.

If grape juice lacking yeast is to be made into wine, yeast must be added artificially.

But things are different now; he has unlocked his spiritual vision, so this obstacle no longer exists.

Without hesitation, Krenk conjured red and blue elemental magic in his palms.

【Magic Power: 1497/1800】

Watching his magic power rapidly diminish, Krenk recalled his predecessor's actions and mixed the fire and water elements in his hands.

There are two teaching methods: one is bottom-up, and the other is top-down.

The bottom-up approach means starting with teaching things like the principles of magic and magic circles, then gradually introducing them one by one, learning and memorizing them one by one.

Finally, once students have learned almost all the details, they can assemble them like parts, forming a large template in their minds.

The advantage of this method is that students don't find it very tiring to learn, but they will also encounter many confusing and unclear points during the learning process. They are not clear about the use of the knowledge they have learned or what they can gain from it.

The top-down approach involves presenting the most advanced knowledge of the subject to you from a high vantage point, allowing you to experience its charm first. Then, once you become interested in the subject, you are encouraged to study it independently and delve deeper into it.

For example, instead of teaching students how engine parts are assembled and how they work, the teacher would directly drive a brand-new Lamborghini and take them for a spin on the road.

The advantages of this method are obvious: students know exactly what they are learning, and they are more motivated to learn.

At the same time, its disadvantages are also obvious. It is difficult to teach and students need to feel its charm and be interested in it in order to achieve the desired effect.

But Kroenke happens to have this ability.

[Exquisite Technique: The spells you cast are always elegant and exquisite, as if you were demonstrating art rather than magic.]

All eyes were fixed on Krenk; they held their breath, afraid that the slightest sound they made would disrupt the rhythm of the lesson.

Relying on the muscle memory of his predecessor, Krenk skillfully circulated the magic power within his body.

The water and fire elements, which are normally mutually exclusive, did not produce white water vapor when they approached each other.

On the contrary, they blended together seamlessly, forming a state where each contained within the other.

Seeing the water and fire elements intertwined like the yin and yang of a tai chi symbol, all the students widened their eyes in unison, staring blankly at everything, not even having time to take notes.

You shocked everyone present and saved yourself from the dreaded fate of being exposed as an academic fraudster.

[Points +1000!]

[Current points: 1000!]

"alright,"

Krenk's gaze fell on Mayon, who, like the others, wore an expression of shock.

"Meiwen, did you understand?"

"I see... I understand now..."

Unlike the other students who were shocked when they first witnessed this strange phenomenon, Meiwen's shock stemmed from a different emotion.

How could that be?

Why was Kroenke able to demonstrate element affinity on the spot?

Doesn't he lack clairvoyance?

Or did he prepare in advance?

But that shouldn't be the case; the content of the first lesson has nothing to do with the theory of element affinity...

Various speculations flashed through her mind, but none of them matched up. The only reasonable explanation was that Krenk had somehow gained spiritual vision.

From this perspective, her plan to publicly expose Kroenke as an academic fraud has fallen through.

The entire plan needs to be re-evaluated and reconsidered in the long term.

You changed Meiwen's plans against you, thus avoiding your fate of death.
