Chapter 396

"Take charge of writing teaching materials?" Adam was a little interested. Writing teaching materials was a good way to consolidate one's own magic system and understand other magic systems. It could very well fill in Adam's foundation, and by drawing parallels, it was very likely to give birth to some better magic ideas.

However …

His Holiness Croft looked at Adam with a faint smile and said, "Although you are a genius, your genius is displayed in a broader vision and way of thinking than ordinary mages. In terms of the basics, you are far from the level of experienced mages of various magic systems. It is not your turn to take charge of writing teaching materials."

Adam was surprised.

"On the other hand, the new Electric Magic, which is your Electromagnetic Magic, needs you to complete the teaching materials of this magic system. The level-6 spell Static Shielding that you created can be said to have completely negated the value of the original Electric Magic. You are responsible for establishing this magic system. "

Static Shielding was a spell that Adam created based on the Faraday Cage principle after returning from his first mission.

Adam nodded. This was the right thing to do. After the successful verification of Maxwell's equations, the classical theory of electromagnetism was complete. It was enough for ordinary mages to smoothly advance to the Hyperdimensional.

This was very beneficial to Adam. Now that his life was long enough, and the end of the Fourth Era was still almost endless years away, he had enough time to nurture and wait for the newcomers to grow up and help him perfect the electromagnetic system.

"Of course, if you are willing, you can communicate with the mages in charge of writing. What you get depends on you. I have another matter to discuss with you. "His Holiness Croft paused for a moment before continuing.

Croft paused for a moment and continued, "This is a very important reform, but you know, for mages, from ancient times to modern times, no one has ever done such a thing. I want to hear your opinion on what should be done and what needs to be done."

This was indeed a rather awkward matter. When the mages lowered their high and mighty gazes and looked at the ordinary people who had been selectively ignored, they actually found that they had no way of doing it.

The ancient selection system from before was obviously no longer suitable, but if education resources were really indiscriminately invested in every ordinary life, how could they ensure that they were able to cultivate elites that could be used and not parasites that were rooted in the system?

This problem had nothing to do with strength or wisdom, only with experience. Adam did not need to think about it and said casually, "It is very simple, it can be solved by grading. There are different grades for the academy, the apprentices, and the commoners. "

"First, divide education into three classes: compulsory education, secondary education, and higher education."

Adam explained one by one, "Compulsory education is for all ordinary people, regardless of whether they have the talent to be a mage or not. It would be best if the Parliament funded the establishment of a standardized, standardized, and streamlined academy in every city of the New Academy. This type of academy needed to impart the same knowledge, and the main purpose was to open up the wisdom of the people, allowing them to move from ignorance to self-knowledge. Not all of these people have the talent of a mage, but through basic education, they can find jobs and positions suitable for themselves from the knowledge they have gained. They can break away from the old era where the nobles ruled over the mortals and the commoners could only farm and graze. "

His Holiness Croft listened attentively and recorded everything Adam said.

"As for the duration of compulsory education, I think three to five years would be the best. After this time limit, those without talent will be forced to graduate, and those with talent will be promoted to secondary education."

"At this stage, the secondary academies accommodate relatively intelligent people. Mortals with no aptitude can be trained in a targeted manner. For example, a manager in a city, or an operator in a mage workshop. For mortals with the talent of a mage, they can be taught basic magic knowledge, meditation techniques, runes, low-level magic, and so on. These people may not necessarily have the ability to become a mage, but after graduating from the secondary academies, they can also take on the jobs mentioned above. Through their training, the operation of the mage society at the bottom can be more efficient. "

"Compulsory education is completely free, and secondary education can be charged appropriately. There is no fixed time. As long as they can continue to pay the tuition fees, the students can always stay in the academy."

"At the higher education stage, the academy will only train elite apprentices who have the qualifications to become a mage. This level of academy should be directly established by the Holy Tower or the Wizard Tower to impart more advanced knowledge to them. "

At this point, His Holiness Croft asked, "The third level of education is very good, but how are the levels of apprentices and mortals divided?"

"Pass the exam."

"The exam should be made up of two parts: theory and actual combat. The compulsory education stage, or rather for mortals, should mainly be a theory exam, because we can't expect mortals to have any combat power. At most, they should have the physical fitness of a knight or grand knight."

"But for mage apprentices, the two should go hand in hand. However, it doesn't mean that we should give up on training if they are not qualified in any aspect. After all, some mages are good at research, and some are good at fighting. This is also one of the jobs of the higher academies, to train the apprentices in a targeted manner. "

Adam stopped here. What he said was a framework, and the details needed to be filled in according to the mage's situation. However, there was no problem with this framework, and it could be used directly.

His Holiness Croft thought for a moment and said, "Your plan is very good, but I have a question."

Adam listened attentively.

"Isn't this too easy? Knowledge comes too easily, resources come too easily, and guidance comes too easily. Will the new generation of mortals, apprentices, and mages cherish everything they have? If they think that all this is natural, then no matter how successful this reform is, it is essentially a failure.

This process gives them a way to rise, but whether it is the exam or the grading, it is too gentle. Will the newbies nurtured in this way be like the mages of today? Will they be like you, like all the mages who have fought in other worlds? Will they have the conviction to overcome all obstacles and be fearless in the face of victory? "

There was one more thing that His Holiness Croft did not say to Adam. His Holiness did not wish for all mages in the future to be like those free Hyperdimensional corporations. That would be a disaster, or even worse, a sign of decay.

Adam fell silent. Everyone was different.

Not everyone was a true soul who started a revolution to change the world, and not everyone had the will of Adam who only wanted to search for the truth.

There were those who pursued the path without regard for anything, and there were also those who coveted comfort and pleasure. This was something that no one could change, not even the Weave.
