If the other party can get promoted using this method, then I can do it too!
"Ask...how to ask?" Lynn said with a sneer.
Barbara's face suddenly turned pale. According to Hank, North was nowhere to be found now. He was probably hiding from them on purpose and carrying out some plan secretly.
What worried her even more was that by the time she found him, North might have already made a breakthrough, and then they would be at an absolute disadvantage.
"Maybe, we can find some helpers." Hank couldn't help but come up with a vicious plan in his mind. There are more than one or two three-ring wizards who want to be promoted to great wizards.
In a sense, they have plenty of allies!
Since North is so secretive, maybe he didn't use a proper method to get promoted. They can use this to threaten North to give them a copy of this method, otherwise they will let their confidants spread this matter to the entire wizarding land.
In order to find a possible way to get promoted, Hank and Barbara came up with many vicious schemes, some even a little crazy.
Lin En broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes as he looked at the two of them.
Although Hank and Barbara were three-ring wizards, at this moment, they were almost no different from those apprentices who worked hard to become formal wizards...
But this is the cruelty of the wizarding world. Every level division represents power and power.
After discussing various ways to interrogate North and forming a temporary alliance, Hank and Barbara couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave.
They were all anxious to go back and study the bottle of blood they had obtained on the Sea of Misty Mountains, so as to find out what was so special about it.
After the two men left, Lin En thought for a moment and took out a bottle of reagent containing dark green liquid.
During these few days, he naturally also did some research on the blood of the Eye of Death, but the results of the experiment were very bad. The power contained in this blood was very strange and had a strong rejection property, so it could not be used to brew the shaping potion at all.
Those rats that ingested the blood directly died inexplicably within a few seconds, and even an autopsy could not find any cause.
Lin En suddenly remembered that North once said that this kind of blood was used in some kind of alchemy array...
Perhaps we can start from this convenience.
……
While conducting research in secret, Lynn did not forget that he was still a teaching professor. In fact, his one-week vacation had ended.
Faced with the reopened Olympiad Mathematics classes, the wizard apprentices were both excited and troubled.
During the period when the Olympiad classes were suspended, they were all studying the homework left by Lin En, which contained all kinds of strange questions.
For example, a wizard raised many chickens and rabbits in cages. Counting the heads, there were thirty-five heads in total and ninety-four feet in total. How many chickens and rabbits were there in the cages?
For example, another wizard spent ten silver coins to buy a camel, sold it for twelve silver coins, then bought it back for fifteen silver coins, and then sold it to another person for twenty silver coins. How much did he earn?
In addition, there are snails running on trees and resting for a while, frogs trying to jump out of the well but always sliding down, carpenters who can't figure out how to match keys and locks, and finding the shadow area of the intersection of two squares, etc.
Alok really couldn't understand what Professor Lynn's brain looked like and why he had so many strange questions.
Are those wizards from the Mystic Society crazy? Why do they have to keep chickens and rabbits in the same cage? They even have to count the heads and legs to determine the number. If they had the time, they would have separated the chickens and rabbits long ago.
"Very good, it seems that you all have mastered it well." Lin En took a general look at the homework.
Although there were many questions, they were all about the most basic knowledge of solving equations and geometry. It was just that the questions were presented in more different styles. They were all classic test questions that he had searched out in his intelligent brain.
It has to be said that the brains of these wizard apprentices are much more useful than those of ordinary people. Alok, Johnny and others are worthy of being students of the elite class. In just two months, they have already mastered some basic knowledge.
After hearing Lynn's words of praise, the apprentices couldn't help showing joy on their faces, especially Pierce.
As one of the apprentices with the longest enrollment time in Yieta Academy, the magic power in his body is already overflowing, but he has no talent in elements, alchemy, potions and plasticity, so he is forced to stay in the academy.
But the situation is different for Olympiad Mathematics. Although his talent is not as good as that of Elroq, Johnny and others, it is much better than others. This is his only hope of graduation!
"Professor Lin, have we completed this Olympiad math course?" Pierce asked excitedly.
“You’re still a long way from here. What you’re learning now are just the basics of the basics.” Lin En shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Is this still the basics?
Elroc, Peirce and others were a little bit unbelieving. They thought they had learned everything they could.
After all, they have now mastered various calculation methods such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and square root. They can also accurately calculate the length, width, height and surface area of various complex objects. They even know how many days it takes for a lazy snail to climb the wall and how many times a frog needs to jump to dig out a deep well. They can also calculate the strange situation of chickens and rabbits in the same cage clearly.
What else is there to learn from this?
"There are also trigonometric functions, probability, linear algebra, plane vectors, inequalities, infinite series, etc. Have you mastered them all?" Lin En asked with a smile.
Lin En's signature smile made the apprentices present shudder, and his words left them even more confused.
The only thing they knew was trigonometry...trigonometry!
Chapter 115: This is the power of the combination of mathematics and magic!
"Professor Lin, what's the point of us learning all this?" Alok asked weakly.
If it was just a matter of exercising the brain, Elroc felt that exponents, square roots and solving equations would be enough, which was already torturous enough.
Lin En looked at the equally confused people and said with a smile, "Haven't you always been curious about how Olympiad mathematics can be combined with magic?"
"Are you going to teach us the magic of Mathematical Olympiad?" Debra exclaimed.
All the wizard apprentices looked at Lin En expectantly. They still remembered the terrifying ice magic that the professor had used on the training ground before!
Just from being exposed to the aftermath of the magic, they nearly had their arms frozen off. It was said that this was the magic that Professor Lin En had improved on his own.
Lydia pouted and kicked the table in frustration, because she was the only one among everyone who couldn't learn magic.
“You could say that!” Lin En nodded, and then asked everyone to leave the classroom and go to the more open area outside.
After everyone stood still, Lin En looked in the direction of the Howling Tower, then raised his hand and began to measure.
"What is the professor going to do? Blow up the entire Screaming Tower?" Alok asked quietly.
"How is this possible?" Pierce curled his lips. The Howling Tower is the iconic building of the entire Yieta Harbor. How can it be demolished just like that?
But seeing Lin En's serious look, Pierce became a little uncertain. "It shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Under everyone's attention, twelve [Magic Missiles] appeared around Lin En, and then rushed towards the [Howling Tower] with a whistling sound!
When they saw that Lin En was using only the [Magic Missile], everyone present was a little disappointed, but they still stared at the trajectory of the [Magic Missile].
Is this an attack on the top of the tower?
Alok raised his head high, but to his surprise, the trajectories of the twelve missiles formed a parabola and directly passed over the top of the tower which was dozens of meters high, then fell downwards and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
The field suddenly fell into deathly silence. Everyone had a strange expression on their face. Alok and Debra even covered their mouths to prevent themselves from laughing out loud.
It was a mistake... This was definitely a mistake, right?
"Professor Lin En, that was just a demonstration, right? Do you want to do it again?" Johnny kindly made amends to prevent Lin En from being too embarrassed.
However, Lynn's expression did not change at all. He glanced at the apprentices who were trying to hold back their laughter, then looked at Alok and Debra who were also trying to hold back their laughter in the front row, and said casually.
"Alok, Debra, go to the training ground and get the training dummies!"
"Okay, professor." Alok was trying very hard to hold back his laughter. After receiving Lin En's order, he immediately ran. He didn't laugh until he was out of Lin En's sight.
“Hahaha… I didn’t expect Professor Lin En would make a fool of himself like this.”
Debra laughed along.
There's no way. In the past, Professor Lin En always looked calm and as if everything was under control, but today such a teaching accident happened. It was really interesting.
"Let's go quickly and don't keep the professor waiting anxiously." After laughing, Alok quickened his pace.
He felt that the [Magic Missile] released by the professor was definitely not that simple, it was just a mistake. He also wanted to see what it would be like to combine Olympiad mathematics and magic.
The training ground is far away from the classroom of Arcane Mathematics and is located in the corner of the entire academy. This is for safety reasons to avoid some magical accidents.
When the two arrived at the training ground, they were surprised to find that many people were gathered there. After they squeezed in, they were immediately stunned.
Because in front of them was a whole row of headless training dummies...
"Twelve, exactly twelve..." Debra counted, and then an extremely ridiculous idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Alok also thought of this, turned his head to look at the apprentices beside him, and asked anxiously, "Daka, what happened to these dummies?"
"We don't know either. Just now when we were practicing magic, several magic missiles suddenly fell from the sky and hit the heads of these training dummies. We all got scared." Daka also had a confused expression on his face.
"In the sky? Do you know which direction this thing came from?" Alok asked hurriedly.
"It should be over there!" Dhaka pointed behind him.
Elok and Debra looked at each other and their expressions changed immediately, because behind them was the towering [Howling Tower]!
Could it be that Professor Lin En was in front of the Olympiad Mathematics classroom, across an entire tower, across a distance of hundreds of meters, and with no vision at all, he was able to accurately hit the training dummy that could be on the training ground...
How can it be?
"What is going on?" Dhaka and others gathered at the training ground couldn't help but ask when they saw the two people looking startled.
"If I'm not mistaken, this was probably done by Professor Lin En." Alok swallowed and said in disbelief.
Only then did the two realize that Lin En did not ask them to move the training dummies over to experiment with magic, but to take these damaged dummies back to demonstrate the effects!
……
At the same time, Lydia and others who were waiting in front of the classroom were already getting impatient.
Where were Alok and Debra? They were just picking up some training dummies. Why haven't they come back in so long?
Were they trying to make the professor look bad on purpose?
This is too bad, Peirce complained in his heart, but a smile could not help showing on the corner of his mouth. It was because the professor always liked to give them some weird math problems to embarrass them.
Just as he was thinking about it, Pierce saw Alok and Debra, leading Dhaka and others walking towards him. Each of them was holding two headless training dummies in their hands, looking particularly terrifying.
Then, without waiting for them to ask, Debra immediately came up to Lynn and asked with great curiosity.
"Professor Lin En, how on earth did you do this? This is incredible!"
"What's so incredible?" Pierce couldn't help but interrupt.
Alok had no intention of keeping them in suspense, and quickly recounted what they had seen on the training ground. Daka and the others also talked about how the magic missiles had fallen from the sky and smashed off the dummy's head when they were practicing magic...
Chapter 116: Lin En: Time is running out, let’s get down to business
After listening to the stories of several people, Pierce and others were a little bit unbelievable, and even suspected that Alok was fooling them.
