The girl was a little skeptical: "There are only so many basic textbooks. How long will their school career last?"
"I heard from the dorm manager that the normal graduation period is at least 80 years," Farid recalled the information he had heard.
"Eighty years?!" The girl's raised foot froze in mid-air, "Can I live to that time?"
"If you are extraordinary, it should not be difficult to live for eighty years. Look, Xuxian from China has lived for more than ten thousand years." The middle-aged man comforted her.
"I don't know of a way to prolong my life yet."
"Number 17 will teach you."
"I hope..."
It was very difficult to read all these textbooks in three days, not to mention that the five of them had other courses to attend, so time was very tight. They didn't waste any more time and quickened their pace to the dormitory.
When they walked into the dormitory building, they were surprised to find Tefan, whom they hadn't seen for more than a month, standing at the stairs, seemingly waiting for them.
"Hey, fellow juniors, how have you been lately?"
"Senior Tefan." The girl trotted over with the cart and pointed at the textbooks on the cart, "We had a pharmacy class today, and the honest man asked us to finish reading these books."
"What are these books?"
"Basic textbook of pharmacy," Farid came over and explained.
"Hmm? The number is wrong." Tefan reached out to check the titles of the textbooks piled high.
The girl's eyes lit up: "I said the librarian got the wrong one!"
Knowing that they didn't have to study so many textbooks, the four people's frowned brows finally relaxed.
After checking, Tefan piled the books back up and said with a smile, "Strictly speaking, it's not the wrong one."
The five people felt uneasy, and the girl asked hesitantly, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
Tefan placed his palm on the top book: "Maybe the administrator was a little careless and only gave you the catalog."
"Catalog?" A question mark appeared above the five people's heads at the same time.
At this moment, not to mention the four people who had little experience in difficult situations, even Farid, who was not afraid of danger and had an iron will, felt his scalp tingling when he looked at the stack of books level with his chest.
Holding on to the last bit of luck, hesitantly confirmed with Tefan: "Senior, what does the catalog mean... I actually want to ask, are the Seventeen catalog and the Russian catalog the same thing?"
Tefan tilted his head. "If my memory serves me correctly, isn't the Russian catalog a summary of refined content?"
"Your memory is very clear. The Russian catalog does have this function."
"That's right, the directory for number 17 has the same function."
The five people suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes.
Table of contents?
You tell me that so many books are catalogues?
The girl said with a bitter face: "Senior Tefan, do you have to study for decades to become super-normal students?"
Tefan counted on his fingers, "Before entering No. 17, I had studied with my teacher for more than a hundred years. After entering No. 17, it will take at least another eighty years.
Well, in fact, it must be more than that. Eighty years is the record of the shortest graduation time for No. 17, and no one has been able to break it so far."
The girl was stunned for a while, then came to her senses and asked in surprise: "Isn't Senior Tefan 17 or 18 years old?"
"When did I say I was seventeen or eighteen years old?" Tefan asked in confusion.
The girl and Farid looked at each other, then at Tefan's youthful appearance.
"Senior Tefan, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding we've been having."
Chapter 378 Anti-theft Chapter (Replace the main text in a few hours)
Upon learning that Tefan was nearly 200 years old, Farid and the girl were shocked beyond words because they were completely unprepared.
Asahito and Dumbledore were a thousand or even ten thousand years old. Although they were dazed for a while when they first learned about it, they quickly came to their senses and reluctantly accepted the fact before them.
After all, these two extraordinary people either have silver hair and young faces, or have white hair and beard and look old, but their physical conditions are stronger than young people. Their appearance is consistent with the characters who have survived for many years in the myths of various countries.
It is hard to believe that they are very old, but it is consistent with the cognition of extraordinary "common sense".
"So, Senior Tefan, how old are you this year?" Farid and the girl were in a daze. The young woman felt that Tefan was not difficult to get along with, so she bravely asked tentatively.
"How old?" Tefan looked hesitant.
"If it's inconvenient to disclose, just pretend I didn't ask." The young woman thought that age was an important privacy of Chaofan and that she had caused trouble for Tefan, so she quickly added.
"It's not inconvenient, it's just..." Tefan lowered his head and thought about something. After a few seconds, he said, "I forgot."
"Ah?" The five of them were all stunned.
Tefan smiled and said, “When I first remembered things, I did remember my age, but as time went by, I didn’t care much about it.
Well, plus my teacher told me that age doesn’t matter to us, so I just forgot about it completely.”
His tone was very relaxed, as if he was talking about the dishes for tonight's dinner. However, the five people who heard it could not calm down.
"Immortality" has always been the ultimate dream of mankind since the beginning of human intelligence.
Not to mention ordinary people who live an ordinary life and have an immense desire for it, even many emperors in ancient times were no exception. In their dying years, they were shrouded in the fear of death and did all kinds of ridiculous things such as "alchemy".
Even such a huge empire was burned down.
But the obsession that has plagued mankind for thousands of years is just the most common ability in the extraordinary world, just like breathing, which is innate.
Farid couldn't get over the fact that what he longed for was something others were born with, and he couldn't get over it for a long time.
Fortunately, I will become one of them.
His eyes regained their former brilliance: "Senior Tefan, why do extraordinary people have such long lifespans?
Is it because of the special energy?"
It is well known that the energy required for extraordinary practice does not exist on Blue Star. He guessed that this is probably the reason why human lifespan has always been limited to around a hundred years.
"Well... you will know it later." Tefan ended the topic about age and talked about the purpose of this trip, "I came to see you today, first of all, to check on your academic performance.
Besides, I heard that the new students at Hogwarts and the Mountain Gate had a holiday soon after the start of the school term, so I suggested to the headmaster that we should follow suit."
"You mean, we have a holiday?"
"yes.
However, considering the freshmen's enthusiasm for learning, the director allows you to freely choose where to go during the holidays. You can go home or stay in No. 17 to study."
Everyone hesitated for a moment.
In the future, I will have to stay at No. 17 for a long time, and I will have few opportunities to go home. If I don’t go back this time, the next time may be many years later.
If I think deeply, when I return home after a long absence, my parents may have become nothing but dry bones.
But if they really decided to go back, they were worried that it would leave a negative impression in the eyes of No. 17. In addition, they were really eager to make further progress in their practice and were unwilling to waste a second.
Tefan noticed the difficulties faced by several people and explained, “It is normal to go home during the holidays, and many of your seniors choose to go home.
In addition, if you want to stay at No. 17 to study on your own and miss your family, you can go to the Education Office to apply to bring your parents over to stay for a few days. "
The five of them immediately looked up, and the girl asked excitedly, "Really?"
If this is true, then it has indeed solved my dilemma.
"Of course." Tefan nodded affirmatively.
"I want to apply!" The girl raised her hand first.
"Don't worry, and I don't have the authority to approve it." Tefan waved his hand and continued, "The holiday date will be notified to you one week in advance, and then you can go to the teaching department to apply."
"Where is the teaching department?"
"Ask the dorm manager." After saying that, Tefan turned around, pushed the door and left.
The five people who were freed from embarrassment became cheerful, and even the stack of catalogs on the trailer did not seem so scary anymore.
They happily went to the library to get the textbooks, then returned to the dormitory, put aside their boasts of "studying hard", and started reading in the study room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
Time passed quietly and it was dinner time in a flash.
After reading for an entire afternoon, the five people's confidence was completely shattered. They stood up dizzy and walked towards the restaurant on the first floor.
“I feel…” The girl stumbled and nearly fell, subconsciously holding onto Farid’s shoulders to steady herself, “All I can see now are those strange words.”
At first they thought that no matter how many books there were, they could always finish reading them if they worked hard, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even recognize the words in the books.
In order to read the textbooks, they must first learn this language.
As for the learning difficulty...
This kind of writing did not come from Blue Star, but was brought by Zhang Mu from the Sol Continent. And even in the Sol Continent, it was not an easy common language to learn. It was an extremely unpopular language that was only used by a few small kingdoms in the corners of the continent.
The five of them ran to the library to get a "first-grade Chinese textbook" and studied diligently on their own, but they couldn't even fully master the most basic "pinyin letters".
"Farid." The girl shook her dizzy head.
"Ok?"
"I think... it's not realistic to finish the textbook in three days. What should I do for the next pharmacy class?"
The other three people obviously had the same concerns. They all stopped and looked at Farid with frowns.
Farid was a little confused. Why do you think I have a solution?
However, looking at the expectant eyes of the four people, the words were on the tip of his tongue but he didn't say them in the end.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Our situation is rather special. Unlike other seniors who have been exposed to supernatural knowledge since childhood, we will tell the truth in class. I believe the teacher will understand."
It's not a solution, but it's the only way right now.
Well, cheating is one idea, but few people are sure they can hide it from the teacher.
The most important thing is that even if they typed out all the contents of the textbook, they would not be able to understand the words.
Farid isn't too worried about it.
He asked the dormitory manager and was told that there was no rule that No. 17 would be expelled for poor grades. If he took his time, he would be able to keep up with the class progress.
The only thing that makes him feel difficult is how to explain to the president next time he sees him.
I studied on Seventeen for half a year and got to know some unpopular texts?
