[WP] Chapter 40 Shade's Compulsory Course

Although the blonde writer Dorothy Louisa also came, the college will still deliver the items that Shade needs to receive after admission according to the original schedule. So the four people still have time to continue chatting for half an hour before that.

As the nominal host of the correspondence ring wizard group, Dr. Schneider is happy to bring up the topic.

Shade therefore knows more common sense about ring wizards, such as under normal circumstances, when contacting [relics] with unfamiliar characteristics, he will not get the prompt of "another me" the first time. Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on "another me" to find relics. The identification of [relics] is the key research content of the library management major.

Shade is abnormal.

[Stranger, your soul is extremely sensitive to the four elements, so I can easily distinguish the relics. This is not my specialness, but your specialness.]

The whispering voice in his ear explained this. Shade thought it was an excuse at first, but as he thought about it, he thought this explanation made sense.

Even he was not sure whether the specialness of "another me" was special or special because of him as a stranger.

The middle name "Suellen" can be explained as the other party knowing his core rune in advance; the "Northern Common Language Gift Pack" given can also be explained as the other party obtaining the incomplete memory of the original owner that he did not obtain because of the characteristics of "another me"; the remainder of looking at the ring was just because she found the strange relic.

Thinking like this, Shade himself was confused.

"No, why is your voice female?"

Shade was almost confused by himself.

[Perhaps even you cannot fully understand your personality].

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shade thought that the other party was hinting that he was a little feminine.

In addition to the fact that the relics could not be easily found, Shade also learned that Dr. Schneider's group usually met every Saturday afternoon to share learning experiences, ask questions, and contact the college through Dr. Schneider's manuscript pages.

Even if there were no such important things, they could share some information, exchange items, or complain about the heavy workload. The last one 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 get practical credits, then others must first consider whether they have time.

Seeing that ten o'clock was about to arrive, everyone cleaned up the coffee table and asked Dr. Schneider to put the page of the poet-level relic there. When the clock in the corner began to strike ten o'clock, a parchment roll tied with a red ribbon appeared as the light on the paper page flashed.

Shade quickly picked it up, untied the ribbon, and unfolded the paper roll. This was Shade's first-year correspondence training program.

St. Byron's College often conducts unified grade promotion assessments at the end of each winter, and Shade, who enrolled in the summer, is unable to complete all his studies this year, so it will take more than a year and a half to complete the courses in the training program tailored for him.

"The first grade usually takes 1 to 3 years to complete. After all, it is a foundation-laying course. Oh, you have a lot of work to do."

Priest Augustus sat next to Shade, so he saw the first-year compulsory courses listed in the training plan that he needed to complete:

"The Herbs We Know"

"Basic Alchemy"

"Introduction to Elementary Alchemy"

"Introduction to Astronomy"

"Introduction to Mysticism and Ritual Studies"

History of St. Byron's College and General Education

A total of 19 required courses and 53 required credits. At the end of this year, Shade can pass the year-end assessment with 15 credits and continue to study other first-year courses in the second year.

The books sent later exceeded 100, including textbooks, materials to be read, and some supplementary course documents.

Together with the other three people, Shade kept taking down the textbooks that appeared from the pages of the manuscript and piling them aside.

Looking at the height of the "mountain of books" that kept rising, the foreigner's uneasiness about his future life suddenly disappeared. He seemed to have returned to his hometown and school life.

"How about it? Is the tuition fee of 50 pounds worth it? These compulsory courses are tailored for you by the school. They are all quite basic. After all, the first grade is the time to lay the foundation. But don't worry; except for the core academic courses, there are three chances of failing the assessment of other courses. If you fail three times, you must postpone the assessment for one year, and you need to pay the tuition fee again, but you will not be expelled."

Old priest Augustus thought Shade was afraid of so many books, so he comforted Shade. In this era of the steam industry, the illiteracy rate is still high, and as an ordinary citizen, you probably won't be exposed to so many books in your life, so the priest will comfort the "unworldly" young detective.

However, the foreigner is familiar with this kind of life.

Shade has 19 compulsory courses in the first year and needs to submit several papers or course assignments after self-study, and some require exams or practical assessments.

The end-of-year assessments are at the end of the year, but the exam season is in the summer at the end of July and the winter in December. If Shade's learning progress is fast, he can also pass some exams at the end of July a month later.

The above are only the contents of the compulsory courses for correspondence ring warlocks. To complete a whole year of study, you need to obtain enough practical credits.

The practical credit requirement for the first year is 40 credits, but the history school has a hard rule for the source of these 40 practical credits. At least 10 credits must come from the "time exploration" activity.

The history school is the school with the least number of students in St. Byron's Comprehensive College, and most students transfer majors in their senior year.

The core of the history school is to rely on the relic [Time Key] of the old god [Father of the Infinite Tree] to travel through time, which requires spiritual runes related to time concepts.

Shade's core course, "Time Travel Practice Training," uses the key provided by the college to travel through time under guidance, and the course can be completed after submitting a report. However, you will not get practical credits for almost completely safe time travel through the course.

Search for or purchase relics of different levels [time keys] from the college. If you can bring back valuable information, history, and knowledge, you will get high practical credits and other rewards, such as relics, magic, spells, or precious knowledge collected in the St. Byron's Library.

Therefore, the History College and the Library Management College, Time Travel, and Relic Containment can be regarded as the colleges that are easiest to get practical credits and college rewards.

"Although these basic courses look complicated, you will know that they are not very difficult once you get started. Look, this is the list of elective courses you are allowed to choose."

After more than 100 books were finally delivered, a brand new parchment scroll appeared on the table. The doctor helped Shade open it, took a look at it, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

"Elective credits can be converted; 10 points can be converted into 1 practical credit. And these elective courses are truly valuable courses, which are the real skills of those professors. Of course, elective courses require gold pounds."

"Elective courses require gold pounds?"

Shade was shocked and then realized that this was not the past world. Moreover, even in the past, the elective courses in his hometown were free, but some schools in Western countries also charge for elective courses.

PS: You can guess whether Shade's "another me" is really special, or special because of the soul of an outsider, or both.
