In Fang Zheng's view, Academy City itself did not look particularly advanced. The anime claimed its technology was thirty years ahead of the outside world, but to Fang Zheng, it was more like three years at most... Strictly speaking, aside from the newer-looking buildings and somewhat stronger sci-fi atmosphere, Academy City did not look any more futuristic than anywhere else.
Of course, it could not compare to Heavenly Dao Palace.
After taking a quick bus tour around Academy City, the group arrived at one of its schools to experience a simulated ability-development class. Teaching them was a teacher who looked about as tall as an elementary school student and, in fact, gave off the impression of being one... Teacher Komoe.
Only then did Fang Zheng barely manage to perk up and begin listening carefully to her explanation.
"...In summary, the most important aspect of Academy City's ability-development courses is personal reality: acquiring a reality that belongs solely to oneself. This is the foundation of all supernatural abilities..."
Mm-hmm...
"And in the process of understanding personal reality, one cannot avoid quantum theory based on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle..."
Mm-hmm... Huh? What the hell?
"The common point among these is that their goal is probability theory..."
Huh...?
At that point, Fang Zheng was completely dumbfounded. He stared at Teacher Komoe on the podium, feeling utterly bewildered.
Are you fucking kidding me?
What kind of incoherent nonsense is this?
Sure, it sounded lofty and impressive, but how was it fundamentally any different from those old "qigong particle studies" and "wave quantum speed-reading" scams?
Wasn't it all fraudulent bullshit?! I came here to hear a lecture on supernatural abilities. Could you say something reliable? Linking supernatural abilities with Quantum Mechanics might sound impressive, but did those two things have even the slightest fucking connection?
