Chapter 4320 Lesson 1
Chapter 4320 First Lesson
The classroom interior was unremarkable, no different from the school classrooms that Angell remembered, with rows of desks and chairs and a whiteboard at the front.
but!
The moment Angell stepped into the classroom, he suddenly noticed a new line of text on the bulletin board.
"Awakening of the mind and harmony of intention: Studying in the current classroom can clear the mind and accelerate awakening of the mind and harmony of intention."
Angell: "?"
what is this?
Does studying in the classroom come with a built-in buff?
Not only did Angor notice this, but Breda also saw the new message that appeared in the text bar. She looked at Angor curiously, wanting to find an explanation.
Angor could only shrug and then turn to ask the spirit of the Citadel.
The Spirit of the City: "Every classroom in the City comes with its own buff, and the buff is different each semester. The buff for the current period is mainly: Awakening of Spirit and Harmony of Mind."
Breda: "We have seen the effect of spiritual awakening and spiritual connection, but what are its specific manifestations?"
Even though she was in the classroom, she could enjoy this buff, but she didn't feel any change in herself.
If I had to say something, I feel less tired.
But Breda didn't know if this was a real change or just her own psychological effect.
"The specific manifestations of divine awakening and spiritual harmony..." The spirit of the city paused for two seconds, "Actually, I'm not quite sure either."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on Angor and Breda's faces, the Spirit of the Citadel explained, "Because in my memory, this kind of buff has never appeared in the classroom before."
"This buff effect automatically came to mind after I woke up this time."
"Just like the Academy City, these are things I've never seen before, things that have been added to the modern Academy City... I'm currently learning about them as well."
At this point, the spirit of the academy seemed to recall the past: "I remember that there used to be some enhancement effects in the classroom, such as increasing inspiration, deepening understanding, and improving the success rate of experiments, but these were all special arrangements made by the teachers for different students... Hmm, what were those arrangements? It looks like some kind of formation with engraved patterns?"
Its voice grew softer and softer, as if it had fallen into deep thought, until it fell completely silent.
Angor knew it had fallen into its old habit again, but this time he didn't interrupt it. Instead, he looked at Breda and said, "Let's not worry about the effect for now. Let's have a lesson first and get through the special mission."
Breda nodded.
Then he walked to the front of the classroom, pressed the start button on the table, and a mechanical hourglass slowly rose, with fine sand falling, signifying the start of the class.
Breda took a deep breath and said in a slow, gentle voice, "In this lesson, we won't talk about knowledge or do any exercises. We'll only do one thing...feel."
Although she said this while looking at the girl from Prussia, she was actually speaking to Angel.
After all, the Prussian girl is currently completely unaware of the outside world.
After giving Angel a brief introduction to the course, Breda stepped down from the teaching platform and went directly to the girl from Prussia.
She gently breathed into the eyes of the Prussian girl.
The slight discomfort from the breeze made the girl instinctively blink away.
"This is the wind."
Breda gently and patiently repeated the concept of "wind," occasionally exhaling a breath that ruffled her hair and brushed the back of her hand.
The girl from Prussia did not respond, but Breda did not care. She simply kept blowing on her skin, allowing it to be continuously stimulated and perceived by the outside world.
The entire process of repeating and blowing lasted for a full half hour.
Angel even noticed that Breda's lips were dry, since she didn't have any supernatural abilities and the wind she was blowing was genuinely produced by gently blowing with her mouth.
During this process, Angell also considered whether he should help, such as by simply blowing a gust of wind.
But after thinking about it, he ultimately restrained himself.
If he were to grade the lesson himself, and then personally participate in the class, would the grading still be effective? Besides, many more Prussians will be entering the classroom in the future; he can't possibly help every single one of them.
So he just sat in the last row and silently watched this strange class.
In fact, by the time the lesson was halfway through, Angel had already figured out Breda's strategy.
You can't directly teach the Prusia people, who are almost hollow in their appearance, any kind of knowledge, no matter how basic, and they would never understand it.
In this situation, the only option is to allow students to perceive external stimuli and repeatedly use the language represented by those stimuli, so that they can break free from internalization and, in other words, open a channel for expression from the inside out.
The first stimulus she chose was blowing on it.
The blowing was generated by her; she could freely control the force of the blowing, making her feel slightly uncomfortable when it blew into her eyes, and also giving her a sensation when it blew into her skin.
At the same time, as the one who creates the blowing motion, she can also use slightly exaggerated body language to draw the students' shallow attention to her.
Of course, this is on the premise that the student himself has the ability to pay attention.
The following time is spent repeating the expression over and over again.
This lesson was very simple, even somewhat naive in Angell's opinion.
However, it must be said that for the Prussians, this kind of simple stimulation and patient repetition of words is definitely more effective than verbal education that starts with someone going on stage and talking non-stop.
Time keeps passing.
Soon, the class was coming to an end.
Breda's lips were completely dry, even white, but she remained gentle and patient, repeatedly explaining the concept of "wind."
As Breda continued to unleash her almost demonic voice, the Prussian girl seemed to actually begin to react to the outside world.
This reaction was not a subconscious response to being "blown," but rather a reaction that she generated voluntarily.
She frowned.
Breda noticed this too, but she assumed it was from the wind blowing into her eyes and didn't pay much attention to it as it was an unconscious action.
However, through extrasensory perception, Angell discovered a subtle emotion emanating from the girl, Prusha.
He seemed to be troubled.
This emotion is extremely faint and almost imperceptible; even under extrasensory perception, it can be easily overlooked if one is not paying attention.
However, because Angell had been paying close attention to the teaching here, he did not overlook this emotion.
Although this is a negative emotion, the very fact that this emotion has arisen means that there has been progress!
It's important to understand that the Prussian girl was completely unaware of anything before; everything she did was based on bodily instincts, without any independent expression.
And emotions are the most crucial element of autonomous expression.
Her ability to experience emotions signifies that her self-awareness has begun to awaken.
But then again.
Angell acknowledged that Breda's teaching choices were not significantly flawed, but could a single lesson really evoke such emotions in the Prussian girl? That was clearly impossible.
Even the most brilliant mentor can't do that.
But the facts are right in front of us.
What's going on here? Angel's gaze unconsciously drifted to the text bar, which read "Divine Awakening and Harmony".
Is it because of this buff?
The only possibility Angel could think of was this buff, since as an observer throughout the entire process, he hadn't seen any variables that could break the cage of consciousness.
It's impossible to pull the Prussian girl out of her mental graveyard with just one lesson of "breathing."
Now that it has been achieved, the only possible explanation is that a "variable" has played a role, and the only variable in this lesson is "spiritual awakening and mental harmony".
A realization flashed in his eyes.
Previously, the Spirit of the City did not know the specific effects of "Divine Awakening and Harmony," but now, after this lesson, Angor has roughly guessed its effects.
Currently, it seems highly likely that this will accelerate the reunification and restoration of shattered consciousness.
However, this requires external "stimulation," which refers to Breda's continuous "magical sound blowing."
Therefore, although the root cause of the Prussian girl's emotions was "spiritual awakening and mental connection," Breda's teaching was indispensable. Without her patience, it would have been impossible to arouse the Prussian girl's "distress."
The class ended.
As the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass on the table, the class came to an end.
Breda whispered a few words of praise in the Prussian girl's ear. —Although she knew the girl probably couldn't hear her, as a teacher, praise was essential.
Then, she took the hand of the Prussian girl and came to Angell.
Facing Angel, Breda said with a hint of insecurity, "I might not have performed very well this time..."
“No.” Before she could finish speaking, Angel interrupted her, saying solemnly, “You did very well.”
Under Breda's astonished gaze, Angor lightly flipped his hand and used illusion magic to create a water cup out of thin air. Then, he manipulated the power of "Celestial Change" to fill the cup with water.
"Drink some water to moisten your lips first."
Breda looked grateful, took the glass of water, and took a small sip, slowly moistening her dry, chapped lips.
Ingres then took the opportunity to recount his discovery.
When Breda heard about the emotions the Prussian girl was experiencing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Is the effect of this Divine Awakening and Harmony so obvious?" Breta: "Excellent!"
Ingres: "Not only is the effect of spiritual awakening and communion crucial, but your patient narration is also key, even more important than spiritual awakening and communion."
Although Breda felt that anyone could give the same lectures, she did not reject Angel's good intentions. A smile appeared on her lips, and her expression clearly showed her delight.
She would occasionally turn to look at the Prussian girl, hoping for a more responsive reaction, but unfortunately, the Prussian girl remained oblivious.
However, she also knew that skyscrapers are not built all at once.
Once there's a reaction this time, it will gradually recover.
Although she herself had not come into contact with the hollow people, she had heard information about them. Most of them needed several years of careful instruction to gradually regain consciousness.
Now, the Prussian girl has already shown an emotional reaction after just one class, which is an unexpected surprise.
Breda exhaled a deep breath.
She had agreed to be Laplace's teacher before, but she was still a little nervous, because she didn't know if she could teach the students well. Now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Mr. Angell, I have received the new exclusive mission for the next stage."
Breda briefly described the information she saw in the text box—
"You have accepted the fourth stage of the exclusive task for ordinary mentors - periodic teaching."
"Task objective: After the start of the school year, complete one cycle of teaching and, based on the performance in this cycle, obtain a teaching reward of at least 500 Academy Points."
"Note 1: This is a series of quests; you can only leave Wonderland by completing all the quests."
"Countdown: 7 days (Not open yet)"
In short, after the start of the school year, Breda will need to conduct a week of continuous teaching and earn at least 500 City Points.
The countdown shows that it is not open because Fool's Academy is currently in a "not open" state.
This 7-day countdown will only begin after school starts.
Overall, this task is still similar to a beginner's guide and is not too difficult.
The only thing that concerned Angell was that this was the first task with a clear standard—he needed to earn at least 500 Academy Points as a teaching reward within 7 days.
His concern was: "What happens if I don't get the 500 Academy Points reward within the period?"
This question can only be asked of the spirit of the City of Learning.
Fortunately, after an hour of lessons, the spirit of the city has awakened from its memories of the past.
"According to the information I have, if the assigned task is not completed or fails, the mentor's qualification will be temporarily revoked."
"There will be a one-week grace period. If you pass the teaching evaluation again during this week, you can regain your mentor qualification and then take on the failed task again. If you fail again, you will lose your mentor qualification for the rest of the time."
After a pause, the Spirit of the City said, "However, normally speaking, the exclusive tasks for ordinary tutors are relatively easy to complete. Moreover, the weekly salary for ordinary tutors is 500 City Points. In other words, as long as you teach normally this week and do not make mistakes or lose points, you can easily pass this task."
After explaining the exclusive tasks of ordinary mentors, Angell turned his gaze to the girl from Prusia.
By analyzing the residual power within her, Angor also deciphered her new mission.
Unsurprisingly, students will need to attend classes for a full week after the official start of the school term.
But there are no targets for students. There's no countdown or requirement to reach a certain level. They just need to attend classes normally.
"Your mission is temporarily complete; the rest will begin after the start of the semester." Angell: "Then, you can arrange your own time from now on."
"However, Master Breda, I hope you can take good care of her."
"Once we have more people and recruit more logistics staff, we can hand it over to them."
Breda smiled and nodded: "It's alright, I like her very much."
After saying goodbye to Angel, Breda led the Prussian girl out of the school building and headed towards her dormitory under the guidance of the spirit of the city.
After they left, Angell looked at his text input field.
