Chapter 99

Two days later, at dawn.

St. Auster Magic Academy, Krenk's office.

dong dong.

"Please come in!"

"Teacher, there's something I need to tell you, it's urgent."

Enya walked in and then closed the door behind her.

"What's wrong?"

"Principal Abraham has decided to lead the new students to the Duchy of Eton to attend your lecture."

"All the freshmen?" Krenk asked in astonishment.

"That's right," Enya nodded, "Principal Abraham made the decision this morning."

"Okay, I understand. Leave me alone for a while."

Kroenke glanced at the office mirror and gestured for Enya to leave first.

"Okay, teacher."

Enya left directly, the sound of the door closing echoed, and the next second, a dark shadow slowly appeared in the mirror: "V, I can go to the Duchy of Eton."

"I know."

Kroenke interlaced his fingers and placed them in front of his chin.

When he heard that all the new students were going to the Duchy of Eton, he already guessed that it was L who was making his move.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"I don't know. There's too little information right now. We can only take it one step at a time." Krenk shook his head. "The people from the Church of the Descent will contact me after I arrive."

"To be clear, my movements are still restricted. If you go too far, I won't be able to get back."

"Um."

Kroenke nodded, stood up, and prepared to go to class.

He walked out of the office, lost in thought.

After this conversation, Kroenke began to doubt L's identity.

"L" seems to be able to influence Principal Abraham's decision to some extent.

This is definitely not something a student could do.

However, her movements were restricted, and this condition was closely tied to the students.

This is getting more and more of a headache —

Kroenke let out a breath, composed himself, and walked into the classroom.

After what happened on Monday, there was a subtle change in the classroom seating arrangement.

The civilians all chose to sit in the upper right corner, close to Allen, huddling together for warmth. The only exception was Catherine, who sat in front of Allen, surrounded by civilians, looking like a spy who had infiltrated the area.

Adele remained seated with Maewen, whispering to her.

The nobles occupying the central area were relatively well-off, with no obvious stratification.

Isabel's position remained unchanged; she sat in the lower left corner, at least two seats away from the others, looking beautiful on her own.

【Linlang】

[Death Threat: E]

Kroenke frowned slightly. Why had Adele's death threat reverted to its original form?

"Now, turn to page 12. Now, let's talk about magic."

After two weeks of extraordinary lessons, Kroenke's teaching finally returned to normal.

"Magic is the fuel for all magic," just as trains and cars need coal to run, and light bulbs need electricity to shine.

"For low-level mages, the source of magic power is the magical factors that enter the body with each breath. However, once a mage reaches the fifth level, they will gradually connect with the sea of ​​magic power. At that time, the source of magic power for a mage will gradually change from daily breathing to drawing magic power from the sea of ​​magic power."

"However, there is still much debate in academia about how mages actually use magic."

"Currently, the mainstream view in academia is divided into two schools of thought."

"The physical and the spiritual."

"The physical school believes that it is the mage's body that uses magic and casts spells, because magic is unstable during the physical growth and development of teenagers, and the magic circuits in the body are not yet formed. Only after the body is fully developed will the mage's strength begin to soar rapidly."

The "Soul School" believes that magic is activated by the human soul.

As Kroenke spoke, he glanced at Isabel, "Because some people are born with unique spells that accompany them for eternity from the day they are born, which clearly contradicts the former view."

"However, the theory of the Soul School also has a fatal flaw, namely that there have been records of spells being cast by long-dead mages due to muscle memory."

"Regarding these two main viewpoints, does anyone here have any questions or anything they'd like to add?"

Kroenke looked at everyone.

"Teacher, which side do you lean towards?" a student asked.

"Oh, my views are quite different from theirs."

Kroenke described the game's concept casually, "I think the two are combined."

Combining them? The students in the audience were invigorated upon hearing this conclusion.

This conclusion has already been disproven.

But Kroenke brought it up again.

"First, let's be clear about one fact: the soul plays a dominant role, because magic is mobilized by the mage's will, and even subconscious actions are the work of the subconscious."

"However, it is not a master-servant relationship with the physical body. For example, in chaos magic, when the caster's magic power goes out of control, it is impossible to stop the magic power from gushing out by willpower alone."

As Krenk spoke, he kept a close eye on Isabel's direction. Finding nothing amiss with her, he continued, "As for the body, it is a vessel for magic and power."

"The physical body is imprinted with the magic circuits that mages use and are familiar with. Due to the cumulative use over time, the magic circuits retain residual information of spells, just like how a person retains some of their original habits after losing their memory."

Krenk paused for a moment, then made up a new term on the spot: "I call it magical memory."

The students below immediately buried their heads and began taking notes of Krenk's teaching content.

"Using the train analogy from before, if we consider magic as fuel, spells as the train, then the body is the engine, and the soul is the driver."

"Without fuel, the magic train powered by magic can't run."

"If the body is weak, then the engine's power will not be enough to keep the heavy train running."

"If there is no driver, then no one will press the start button on the train."

"But if the train has already reached a very high speed, then even if the driver wants to brake, the train will continue to move forward due to inertia."

"As for why some people's souls are born with magical abilities?"

At this point, Kroenke noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and he put down his pen.

This is the most crucial part of the theory of the union of body and soul.

It is precisely because this reason cannot be explained that this idea is disproven.

Here, Kroenke chose to explain in a humorous way: "If the driver is strong enough, he can pull the train forward with a rope in front, without needing an engine or fuel."

The problem is that the code started working in a strange way; as for how it worked, don't worry about that.

"That's why I say the soul is dominant. A sufficiently powerful soul can, in turn, overturn and change the physical form of the body, which is like dragging a train along."

"As for another special case," Kroenke continued, "that is dissociative identity disorder. You can think of it as having two different drivers who fight each other over control of the train, which makes it extremely easy for the train to go out of control."

Kroenke suddenly caught a glimpse of Adele out of the corner of his eye.

Then, his eyes widened instantly by three points.

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Dissociative identity disorder?!
