Academy Course Arrangements
Today's task of explaining the Elective Course content to Bell was something her husband specifically instructed her to do last night.
Therefore, although she was impatient with these trivial matters, Ma Jingjing could only endure them for the time being.
I must find an opportunity to Belby later to make up for today's loss.
Although she now understands that she is no match for Bell, that's precisely what makes it more interesting, isn't it?
"Senior Ma, what's the purpose of this Spirit-Rootless Person Political System Analysis?"
Upon receiving the order, Bell immediately noticed the one with the longest name.
He guessed that this was probably similar to the Muggle Studies at Hogwarts.
So, do Cultivator also enjoy doing these kinds of messy things?
"This is a course designed for students who plan to work in the Cultivator Alliance after graduation."
Because the Cultivator Alliance frequently deals with the Spirit-Rootless Person Government, it is necessary for its staff to understand the relevant political systems of the Spirit-Rootless Person Government.
This course is quite popular within the academy, but it's probably useless to you. You're not going to take a position in the Cultivator Alliance anyway.
After listening to Ma Jingjing's explanation, Bell nodded.
It seems that whether you're an ordinary person or an extraordinary individual, whether you're a wizard in Europe or Cultivator in China, being a "civil servant" is the most popular profession.
Unfortunately, Bell was indifferent to this. He preferred the freedom to do what he wanted rather than receiving a government job.
Next, Bell asked about the remaining six courses one by one.
Although he had a general plan for what he wanted to learn before coming to China, now that Ma Jingjing was providing free guidance, asking her questions wouldn't take much effort, so of course he wouldn't hesitate.
He nodded. Ma Jingjing's explanation was not much different from what he knew and guessed.
So, under Ma Jingjing's increasingly impatient gaze, Bell took out a pen, quickly put five checkmarks on the form, and signed his name.
Aside from alchemy and the Spirit-Rootless Person Political System Analysis, he checked off all five other courses.
His main purpose in China to study was to learn China Weapon Refinement Technique.
He hoped to combine the Alchemy of wizards with the Weapon Refinement Technique of Cultivator to eventually create his own two-handed sword.
In a few years, he will come of age and be crowned 'King'.
I hope my father is strong enough...

Just as Alchemy requires the use of Ancient Runes, Weapon Refinement Technique also requires the use of Array Patterns.
Therefore, it is also necessary to study the array Arrays Class, which involves in-depth research on Array Patterns, and the Array Patterns course, which involves the variant application of Talisman patterns, as a supplementary course.
As for the remaining Combat Practice and Close Combat Techniques, those were truly unexpected delights.
After all, once his two-handed sword is forged, it can't just be left as a decoration, can it?
The thought of occasionally pulling it out to chop people up is truly exhilarating!
Indeed, every ranged fighter harbors a melee heart.
Upon receiving the course selection form from Bell, Ma Jingjing immediately noticed the checkmarks on the two courses: Combat Practice and Close Combat Techniques.
In an instant, all her impatience and dissatisfaction vanished.
She also chose to take these two courses; in fact, all Sword Cultivator and body cultivators would choose these two courses.
This means that she will have plenty of opportunities to spar with Bell in the following lessons!
Thinking of this, two sharp, sword-like gazes shot out from Ma Jingjing's eyes, startling Bell so much that she quickly reached out to block her course selection form.
Although adding another one wouldn't be difficult, he's just too lazy.
Seeing the hand in front of her that was faintly glowing blue, Ma Jingjing realized that she had lost her composure.
But then, she became even more eager to face Bell.
The opponent was able to block her unexpectedly released spiritual energy without her even noticing. Such reaction speed and control over spiritual energy were truly worthy of someone who could fight Uncle Wu to a standstill!
After collecting everyone's course selection forms, Ma Jingjing, in her capacity as class monitor, reminded everyone to study hard and not to embarrass her.
In short, no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a gangster boss lecturing his subordinates.
The brief class meeting quickly came to an end.
After waiting a few more minutes, the teacher in charge of managing the class entered the classroom right on time.
Bell looked up and realized that the person who had come was someone he knew.
"Hello everyone, I am Si Ma Yan, the teacher in charge of Class 1, Grade 3 of the Upper Academy. I am also responsible for your Spell Class."
I know that some of you have chosen the path of Sword Cultivator, body cultivation, Arrays Cultivator, or Talismans Cultivator.
But believe me, no matter which path you choose, learning more magic will be of great help to you.
This is also why the Academy did not list Spell Class as Elective Course, but rather as compulsory courses.
Listen up, I don't want anyone to be inattentive during my Spell Class anymore, or don't blame me for being rude!
Si Ma Yan stood on the podium, looking sternly at the students below.
This person was the chief person in charge during yesterday morning's test, and also the gentleman who had taken the initiative to greet Bell and show goodwill.
Incidentally, the required courses in the Upper Academy Academy consist of five subjects: Spell Class, Classics Analysis Class, Spiritual Plants Class, Spiritual Beasts Class, and History Class.
In the Lower Academy and Middle Academy, the number and types of compulsory courses vary depending on the students' age.
For example, the compulsory courses in the Middle Academy include Physical Education Class that train basic combat skills, as well as Miscellaneous Studies Class that explain the basic knowledge of elixirs, magical artifacts, and magic arrays.
In addition, the course on Classics Analysis Class explains complex Daoist theories.
In order to achieve twice the result with half the effort, one must have a deep understanding of the corresponding theoretical ideas when practicing many profound spells.
Unlike Hogwarts, the Academy does not have Transfiguration Class in its curriculum.
This is because the Cultivator categorized Transfiguration as a type of magic, rather than classifying it as a separate category.
This has resulted in Cultivator generally being less skilled in Transfiguration than wizards.
However, in high-end applications, it is no less than the Wizard, and may even be slightly better.
In addition, there are no Sword Cultivator courses in the Academy.
The difficulty of becoming Sword Cultivator is too high. One must master the corresponding Cultivation Method in order to truly unleash the power of Flying Sword.
The practice of Cultivation Method is very dangerous and is not suitable for the "one-size-fits-all" classroom teaching model.
Furthermore, not many students choose the path of Sword Cultivator. Therefore, to become Sword Cultivator student, one needs to find a suitable Sword Cultivator master, become their disciple, and then practice the Cultivation Method under their guidance.
Of course, for students like Ma Jingjing, whose family elders include Sword Cultivator, they can also cultivate their Cultivation Method under the supervision of their family elders.
In the Academy, there is no apprenticeship ceremony; students simply learn the techniques of Flying Sword control and combat from their teachers.
After all, in China, there's a saying that "a teacher for a day is a father for life," and the issue of mentorship is no joke. Many parents don't want their children to become someone else's disciple.
