The next day, in class for the first time, I looked for a blackboard eraser.
To erase the letter self-study, which is always written on the blackboard.
Ever since I became a teacher such as blackboard eraser, I had never used it, so it took me a long time to find where it was placed.
When you ask Harmonia and her daughter Fiona, who serve as a wrap-up for this class, to help you find them, erase the letter "self-study" written on the blackboard.
Students in the classroom began to get upset when they saw that.
Some of them were rude students like Chloe, and it was the end of the day when it snowed or even crunched.
As the upset began to creep, I gave a speech to the students in the classroom when I put my hands on the stage.
"I've had all my self-study classes this past month, but I rarely decide to give a magic lecture today"
Declaring so, the upset turned to astonishment.
"That Dr. Kite lectures!?
"I don't know what to do, I didn't think there was a class and I didn't bring the textbook"
"No, you need it for self-study. You didn't even study yourself."
"'Cause I got admitted here with the intention of bridesmaid school,"
"So this class is full of teachers and problematic children, students and problematic children."
While such conversations are patterned, I say.
"Uh, each one of us, be quiet. What we're about to talk about is Dr. Kite's thankful and profound story. Whether you want to be a magician or another profession, I think it would be helpful."
How rare were the serious words of teachers who usually read books all the time? The students listen to my words in silence.
"Good. Be quiet when you listen to people. That's basic. It's a matter of being a man before magic."
That's right. I keep nodding.
"Uh, Kohon, I understand there's a student who called me Teacher Neat, a pay thief, yesterday."
Some of the students who hear the words change their expressions. I guess I have a sense that I was punching my pussy.
But I'm not angry. Rather glorify.
"I don't mind a lot of bad talk about teachers. I'd rather scold a student who didn't speak ill of me."
"Yep! Can I say something bad about the teacher?
"Absolutely. Growing up means we need a ritual of passage where we learn to question what adults are saying and doing. Adults on your side, many of them family members and teachers, are unhappy with them, and for the first time, children can grow up."
"But my grandfather is a fine adult. I've never been dissatisfied."
Harmonia raises her hand and comes to disagree.
He had a look on his face. This is the only face I don't give in.
"This is where disagreements arise. I don't think adults are right, but some girls think there are respectable adults around them."
"Does that mean the teacher is wrong?
A student asks, but I shake my head vertically. slightly.
"I mean, the answer isn't one. Harmonia said his grandfather is a respectable grandfather, but it may not look like that from others even if it looks like that from Harmonia's eyes"
Harmonia against that word.
"My grandfather is a fine man to be respected by everyone!
"Can't you separate it from anyone?
"Of course it is. When I was younger, I acted as a serving magician, and after retiring, I made many achievements in this world as a wise man. Respected by everyone."
"Being a military magician meant being on the battlefield."
"That's right. I've been told I gave you a glorious martial arts medal. His Majesty the Emperor has bestowed the Rose Cross Medal."
"Right. Your grandfather must have saved the empire with that sorcery and saved the lives of many allies. That's why I got the medal."
But I go on.
"Saving our allies on the battlefield also means taking more enemy lives on the battlefield."
"Oh, that's..."
I can't argue with what has been pointed out, Harmonia says.
"A soldier who had your grandfather save his life would not be enough to thank your grandfather, but on the other hand, the families of enemy troops who have been deprived of their lives by your grandfather may be cursing your grandfather. You can't deny that."
"So, but..."
Still, stop the harmonian words you try to defend. Because I thought it was on the sidewalk. Besides, this lecture was not the place to question her grandfather's justice.
I have only just spoken of one example.
What I wanted to tell my students was about the nature of witchcraft.
Having said that, I can say the same thing about witchcraft.
"Magic can also be seen in a multilateral way"
"Is it a multilateral way of looking at things?
"You witchcraft can help people, contribute to the progress of civilization. Many of them will have been admitted to this college believing those words."
"Of course it is. It's in the admissions guide."
Harmonia insists on a rough nose.
"But on the other hand, magic can be outrageous if used incorrectly, you understand that, too?
…………
"What's more, magic basically exists to hurt people, and there are some extreme people in this world who assume that."
Like me, I didn't add.
This lecture is not a place to educate students about ideas.
It was a class to help you understand how dangerous and dangerous magic is.
Some students raise their hands.
"Doctor, I know what you mean by what the teacher is saying. Sorcery hurts people, depending on how you use it."
"Right. Exactly."
"But what about restorative magic? Recovery magic doesn't hurt people. Wouldn't there also exist magic that would never hurt people?
"No, you're not. Basics, if you use any magic the wrong way, it hurts people."
I was expecting an answer to that, and I'll have a pre-prepared plant pot.
"I guess I should have prepared it for you as a magician and a little animal, but I'm an animal lover. Now give me a break."
With that said, hang restorative magic on the plant.
Regardless, because it is restorative magic, there should be no attack power.
The students seemed to assume that, but I can magic the healing magic I hang.
It's obvious.
Then what do you think, it withers while the plants that were giving it vitality look at it?
"" Huh?
Why? The students look like that, but only Harmonia was calm.
She explains it politely.
"... I've heard it from my uncle. Recovery magic is both positive and negative magic. Sometimes powerful magic can destroy the cells of an organism."
But this shouldn't happen without such powerful magic, she snaps like a solitaire. Well, the magic that I put in now was so powerful, but it seems to other students that this performance was effective.
He recognized the dangers of witchcraft.
"Shh, wow!" and admitted to me that he was a first-line magician.
However, some students still don't accept it.
"But isn't that the same blade? Blades are a must for human life. It can be used in self-defense against monsters, or as a knife, you can make delicious dishes. Depending on how you use it, it hurts people, but humans can no longer live without blades."
"Yeah, that's a good answer. You're right. Humans can no longer live without blades. So now it's useless to lose the blade."
"Then isn't magic with you? Magic exists today, and it cannot be lost."
I don't know about that.
I gently return student questions.
"The blade coincided with the birth of human civilization. But magic is different. It's only been possible since civilization became somewhat shaped."
"So you don't have trouble losing it, do you?
"Right."
"But magic is useful everywhere in life. I can no longer live a normal civil life without magic."
"Right. But there are alternatives to witchcraft. If you move that way, you'll have no trouble living."
When I say that, I get down to business.
"If you were admitted to the School of Sorcery, I think you know the rules of sorcery, but let me ask you something."
Point to the appropriate student.
The students explained the definition of witchcraft, though confused.
"Sorcery is a secret technique that only those with magic can activate. Can't be used by ordinary people."
"Exactly. That's why the magic schools you attend exist everywhere and are treated as valuable people."
But I keep going.
"Some people are trying to contribute to civilization in a different way than witchcraft"
That's what I said, I took out the gunpowder.
Light the gunpowder placed on the plate.
Regardless, there will be no explosion. Gunpowder just burned.
There's another hassle to detonate gunpowder.
"Now, for a moment, you've emitted magic like Fire. I just lit a fire and it burned. This is not magic. Chemistry. By the way, the match you used to ignite is also an object that just rubbed phosphorus on a tree stick, a phenomenon called chemistry, or science. This isn't just for us magicians, it's for the general public, so to speak. Anyone can reproduce it."
………………
Is it because we experimented with the natural phenomenon, the students' reactions are faint?
Naturally.
The students in front of me have been enrolled in this college dreaming of becoming magicians. I'm not interested in events that anyone can reproduce.
"You're unresponsive. But this science is a by-product of witchcraft, right?
When I said that, some of the students were just a little interested.
"Science and magic, they seem like two conflicting things, but the truth is, they're like twin brothers. In the first place, gunpowder was a by-product of a magician hundreds of years ago in the process of turning low-metal into metal. That's gunpowder now. I don't usually use gunpowder, so I guess matches are easier to understand."
When I say that, I point to the students. I am a student who can use excellent fire magic in my class.
Ask him.
"You seem to be good at fire magic, but when you light a fireplace in your house, do you use fire magic?
"I won't use it."
"Why not?"
"Out of the blue, the magic of fire is because it's hard to control. One wrong step, and the house will be on fire."
"Right. Me, too. Bringing down small fires is a hassle. So when you light a cigarette, many magicians rely on matches without firing. I'm a non-smoker."
"My house is lit by maids. In a match."
says a female student.
"So is my home. If no match had been invented, the work of a maid in the world would increase. It could have used firestone like it used to be a long time ago, or there could have been a time when we had to friction the stick of wood and ignite it."
"That's an amazing match to think about."
and my daughter Fiona ties me together.
"Well, this is how magic, no, science is helping people's lives."
I nodded.
"I mean, when it comes to what you're trying to say, it's not just that being a magician is good for the world. Whether science or magic is misused, it is with us that we harm people. But science can be used by 10,000 people. Meanwhile, magic can only be used by us magicians. There's a difference."
"That's why magicians have to discipline themselves and nourish the spirit of serving their citizens."
A certain student speaks out of impression, but I agree with you because that's more or less not wrong.
In fact, one of the lessons of this school of sorcery is to become a service to the citizens of the sorcerers.
Magic is not for your own prosperity, but to make this society better. If you think so, at least you won't be a magician like me.
If you don't think like me in the 'old days' that magic can solve everything, etc., there won't be anything like stepping off the road.
"Sorcery is a tool. As long as you're aware of that, maybe, you can stay calm. '
That was the answer I took a thousand years to come up with.
However, I was also aware that it did not sound very good to young people who aspired to witchcraft.
In fact, only a few students listened to my lecture and expressed an interest in magic, science that could be handled by 10,000 people.
(Well, I suddenly have trouble getting old and reaching the same conclusion as the sage who lived a thousand years)
What was the millennium of my life?
But still, I didn't want my students to be magicians like me.
No, I want you to be a lazy sorcerer like I am now, but I didn't want you to be a sorcerer who believed in sorcery like I did until a few hundred years ago, who assumed that everything could be solved by sorcery, and who would hurt many people with that power.
That's what I thought.
That was also a statement of my determination to take teachers seriously, but at the same time confront myself until a few hundred years ago.
Now, I could offer you a path that there is such a way of thinking on this occasion, but could they guide them?
I wish I could at least do my salary step-by-step.
With that in mind, I explained to them my upcoming class schedule (curriculum).
