The Whispering Verses Chapter 40: Shad’s required courses
Although the blond writer Dorothy Louisa has also arrived, the college will still deliver the items that Shad needs to receive after enrolling as scheduled according to the original time. Half an hour before that, the four of them had time to continue chatting for a while.
Dr. Schneider, as the nominal moderator of the correspondence group of ring wizards, was happy to stir up the conversation.
As a result, Shade learned more common sense about ring warlocks. For example, under normal circumstances, when you come into contact with [Relics] with unfamiliar characteristics, you will not get the prompt of "another me" immediately. Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on "another self" to find relics. The identification of [relics] is a key research content in the library management profession.
Shadow is obviously not normal.
[Outlander, your soul is particularly sensitive to the four elements, which is why I can easily distinguish the relics. It's not my specialness, it's your specialness. 】
The murmuring voice in his ears explained this. Shade thought it was an excuse at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that this explanation made sense.
Even he himself is not sure whether the specialness of the "other me" is really special, or whether it is special because of being a foreigner.
The middle name of "Su Lun" can be interpreted as the other party knowing his own core runes in advance; the "Northern Common Language Gift Package" given can also be interpreted as the other party obtaining his own due to the characteristics of "another self" The incomplete memory of the original owner was not obtained; the reminder of looking at the ring was only because she found that strange relic.
Thinking like this, Shade himself became confused...
"No, why do you have a female voice?"
Xia De was almost confused by himself.
[Perhaps, even you yourself cannot fully understand your own character. 】
"Don't talk nonsense."
Xia De thought this was a hint that he was a bit effeminate.
In addition to the fact that the relics cannot be easily discovered, Shade also learned about Dr. Schneider's group, which usually meets every Saturday afternoon to share learning experiences, ask questions, and communicate with the academy through Dr. Schneider's manuscript pages. connection.
Even if there are no such urgent matters, you can still share some information, exchange items, or complain about the heavy workload of studying. This last item is usually the main content.
The group will not give members mandatory tasks, but if someone needs help, such as doing some college tasks that can earn practical credits, then others must first consider whether they have time.
Seeing that ten o'clock was coming soon, everyone cleared the coffee table and asked Dr. Schneider to put the page of the poet's relic there. When the clock in the corner began to ring the first bell of ten o'clock, as the light on the page flashed, a parchment rolled into a tube and tied with a red ribbon appeared.
Xia De picked it up with quick eyes and hands, pulled away the ribbon and unfolded the scroll. This was Xia De's first-year correspondence education training plan.
St. Barrons College often conducts a unified grade promotion assessment at the end of each winter. It is definitely impossible for Shad, who enrolls in the summer, to complete all his studies this year, so it will probably take more than a year and a half to complete his studies. Courses in tailor-made training programs.
"Actually, the first grade usually takes 1 to 3 years to complete. After all, it is a basic course... Oh, you are very busy."
Priest August sat next to Shade, so he clearly saw the first-year compulsory courses he needed to complete listed in the training plan:
"Herbs We Know"
"Basic Potions"
"Introduction to Elementary Alchemy"
"Introduction to Astronomy"
"Introduction to Occultism and Ritualism"
"Theoretical Basis of Spiritual Runes (Part 1)"
"Basic Course for Ring Magicians - Thaumaturgy"
"Basic Course for Ring Sorcerers - Spells"
"Introduction to Ancient Languages (Fifth Age 0~2000)"
"Introduction to Ancient Languages (Fifth Age 2000~4000)"
"Introduction to Ancient Languages (Fifth Age 4000~5793)"
"Ancient Literature" (choose one from three, serious literature, popular literature, and others. Complete before fifth grade.)
"Folk Customs, Religion and Civilization"
"History (1)"
"Basics of Time Travel Theory" (Academic Core Course)
"Time Travel Practical Training" (Academic Core Course)
"Containment and Management of Relics" (Academic Core Course)
"Basic Theology (Part 1)"
"St. Barrons Comprehensive College History and General Education"
There are 19 compulsory courses and 53 compulsory credits. At the end of this year, with 15 credits, Xia De can pass the year-end assessment and continue other first-year studies in the second year.
The number of books subsequently delivered exceeded 100, including textbooks, required reading materials and some course supplementary literature.
Xia De, together with the other three, kept taking down the textbooks that appeared from the pages of the poem manuscript and stacking them aside.
Looking at the ever-increasing height of the "book mountain", the foreigner's anxiety about the future life suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to have returned to his hometown and school life.
"How about it, the 50 pounds tuition fee is worth it, right? These required courses are tailor-made for you by the school and are quite basic. After all, the first grade is when you lay the foundation. But don't worry, in addition to the core academic courses, There is a chance of failing the assessment three times in other courses. If you fail the exam three times, you must defer the assessment for one year and pay the tuition again. You will not be expelled. ”
Old priest Augustus thought that Shade was afraid of so many books, so he comforted Shade. In this era of steam industry, the illiteracy rate is still high, and as ordinary citizens, they probably will not have access to so many books in their lifetime, so the priest will comfort the young detective who has "never seen the world."
It’s just this kind of life that outsiders are familiar with.
The 19 compulsory courses for first-year students at Shard require the submission of several papers or coursework after self-study, and some require examinations or practical assessments.
The end-of-grade assessments are all at the end of the year, but the exam season is in the summer at the end of July and in the winter in December. If Xia De learns quickly, he can pass part of the exam one month later at the end of July.
The above are only the contents of the compulsory courses for correspondence ring magicians. If you want to complete a whole grade of study, you need to obtain enough practical credits.
The first-year practical credit requirement is 40 credits, but the School of History has strict regulations on the source of these 40 practical credits. At least 10 of these credits must come from Time Exploration activities.
The College of History is the college with the smallest number of students among St. Barons Comprehensive College, and most students change majors in their senior years.
Because the core of the History Academy is to rely on the relic [Time Key] of the old **** [Father of the Infinite Tree] to travel through time, which requires spiritual runes related to time.
Xia De's academic core course "Time Travel Practical Training" is to use the key provided by the academy to conduct a time travel under guidance, and then submit the report to complete the course. However, no practical credits will be awarded for nearly completely safe time travel through the course.
Look for relics [Time Keys] of different levels from the academy on your own or purchase them from the academy. If you can bring back valuable information, history and knowledge, you will receive high practical credits and other rewards, such as relics, St. Byron Thaumaturgy, spells or precious knowledge collected in the Great Library.
Therefore, the School of History, School of Library Management, Time Travel and Relic Storage can be regarded as the easiest schools to obtain practical credits and college awards.
"Although these basic courses seem complicated, once you start, you will know that they are not very difficult. Look, this is a list of elective courses you are allowed to choose."
After more than 100 books were finally delivered, a brand new parchment roll appeared on the table. The doctor opened it for Shade, took one look at it, and stuffed it into him:
"Elective credits can be converted, and 10 points can be converted into 1 practical credit. And these elective courses are the truly valuable courses and the real skills of the professors. Of course, the elective courses cost gold pounds... ...."
"Elective courses cost gold pounds?"
Xia De was shocked and immediately realized that this was not the world of the past. Moreover, even in the past world, elective courses in hometowns were free of charge, but elective courses in some schools in Western countries also cost money.
