Chapter 287 - 211: Why Not Communicate With Thoughts_1

Chapter 287: Chapter 211: Why Not Communicate With Thoughts_1"When you learn Magic Scripts, the first thing you need to understand is what Magic Script is."

Standing at the lectern, Professor Emma first set the tone for this class:

"In the previous few classes, you have already briefly understood the origin, development and current situation of Magic Scripts; you know how to use Magic Scripts in various situations; you have seen how I communicated with a devil elder through Sky Script and eventually reached a consensus."

Zheng Qing heard up to here, struggling to suppress his urge to roll his eyes.

Reached a consensus?

Just as the great devil barely stuck its head out of the magical door, Professor Emma beheaded it with her spell and then bricked up the door again.

Then, that poor head endured a bombastic bombardment of spells, from its neck to the tip of its hair, from its eyelid to its nose hair, all of it sealed by multi-colored spell.

Only at this point, did the Professor begin to speak harmoniously to this unknown visitor about Sky Script.

This big demon, who might have been causing great trouble in Hell, fully demonstrated to the young wizards in the classroom what it means to make the best of a situation, to be adaptable, to bear insults and loads, and to be unyielding in the face of this terrifying old witch.

Zheng Qing was very skeptical of Professor Emma’s dedication to answering every question and fulfilling every request. He considered, if it wasn’t for its tail being locked on the other side of the magic circle, it would definitely demonstrate to each student how a minion was created.

"In this class, we return to the source and talk about the fundamental origins of Magic Scripts."

Perhaps sensing the weird atmosphere in the classroom, Professor Emma enhanced her tone, posing a question to everyone:

"Who can tell me, what is script?"

Zheng Qing sat upright, pondering with a furrowed brow.

This is a big topic.

Slowly, people began to raise their hands in the classroom.

Xin Fat Man’s chubby elbow stood out amongst the rest, claiming the most eye-catching spot.

The Professor approved of this proactive attitude, nodding her head in sign for Xin Fat Man to answer this question.

"Script is a symbol system used to record language and is a product of human civilization having developed to a certain extent." Xin Fat Man said seriously, his usual playful expression completely absent, appearing quite professional ,"It can be understood as, under a convention system, possessing a prescribed form and containing a prescribed meaning. Modern analysis believes that the main development direction of script is phonogram and semiotics."

"Mundane script is reportedly like this." Madam Emma adjusted her huge black-framed glasses, nodding her head without expressing surprise, "But for Magic Script, script is everything! It’s the foundation of magic inheritance! Magic Scripts not only contain a fixed form and have a fixed semantic and fixed combination, but also include other features... which we will gradually touch upon in later classes. Aside from one point, Magic Script has only one line of development."

"The second question, what script do mortals use?"

Zheng Qing felt he needed to redeem himself in the eyes of Madam Emma, so he quickly raised his hand and she, flipping through the class register, gave a nod of approval.

"It should be the two main types of phonetic script and pictographic script." Feeling the stern gaze from the platform, Zheng Qing was somewhat nervous, desperately

"I hope!" Professor Emma heavily paused from her thick class notes, invigorating everyone in the classroom.

"Through one academic year of study, each student can proficiently grasp twenty Magic Scripts, the remnants of 365 standard characters! Do you all have confidence!"

"Yes!" The young wizards responded with a surge of energy, full of confidence.
