Chapter 261 Silvermoon Witch's Prophecy (2 in 1)
Early in the evening, the first year students were notified of the start of the astronomy class.
There was some buzz in the library at the time.
When people were still children, they were always full of yearning for the starry sky.
Curling up in the arms of their parents, looking up at the starry night sky, and counting the bright stars with a childish voice, a faint sense of happiness would arise within them spontaneously.
But as they grew older, the starry sky became more and more out of reach.
There was a saying in astrologer circles that went like this:
Children can see stars in their eyes.
Once they grow up, their potential will diminish.
If they don't get started in childhood, there is no possibility of learning astrology in adulthood.
...
The first year students were actually very interested in astronomy, especially after taking the astronomy class of Professor Didi, that interest was stimulated, and then… They were left hanging for three months!
So they showed great interest in the suddenly reopened astronomy class.
In fact, a few days ago, it was rumored that a new professor of astronomy would come to the academy, and the little magisters were secretly looking forward to it for a long time.
...
Next day, Wednesday.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the twelfth floor of the Spiral Clock Tower was already full of people.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the class time at 7:30, but the students learned the lessons of the first class, and most of them chose to come early.
Like White and Robert, who had been deducted points for being late, they came earlier than anyone else.
But the new professor didn't sit in the classroom early like Professor Didi.
Students started to chat with each other after they found out that the new professor hadn't arrived yet.
Some were guessing who the new professor would be.
Some were wondering what would be taught tonight.
Would the new professor's temperament be good or not, would they deduct points randomly?
Would the content of the class be interesting and how does it compare to Professor Didi?
At the end of the last astronomy class, Professor Didi showed the students the full moon at a very close distance, which shocked them for a long time.
They wondered what kind of surprises this new professor would bring?
...
Dark didn't arrive at the classroom until about 7:15.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Dianna beckoning to him, so he walked over and took a seat behind the two of them.
"Dark, have you met the new professor?" Dianna asked excitedly.
Dark shook his head: "No. But the professors hired by the academy won't be bad. At least in terms of level."
Dianna: "That's true. I hope the new professor's class can be more interesting, simpler, and not too difficult."
Dark smiled without saying anything. He took out a note and a pen from his school bag, put a small stand on the table, and took out a magic card.
The little Eevee in the card was glancing around with its big eyes, full of curiosity.
Dark placed it on the stand, facing the blackboard.
When Dianna found out, she wondered, "What's this for?"
Dark pointed to Eevee-chan and said, "It has some interest in astronomy."
"( ⊙o ⊙) Oh!" Dianna nodded slightly, seemingly understanding what Dark said.
After she turned back, she suddenly tore out a piece of paper from the notebook, folded it into a tripod, carefully picked out two cards from the deck, and placed them on the tripod like Dark.
Seeing her following what Dark did seriously, Rose at the same table couldn't help covering her mouth giggling.
Dark opened his mouth, but was speechless for a long time.
Those two magic cards should be [Gaia Bear] and [Bear Spirit], right?
……
"Coo coo, coo coo." A Cuckoo bird suddenly popped out of the wall clock above the podium.
The students were dazed for a moment, and then suddenly realized that it was half past seven, but the new professor still hadn't arrived yet.
"So the new professor is late for the first class?" Dark gathered magic energy at his fingertip and scratched Eevee's chin in the card, causing it to blush slightly.
The noise in the classroom dropped a little at the moment the class bell rang, but then it became louder than before.
The students were surprised and puzzled that the new professor was late.
It was not that no professors had been late before. In fact, some professors were even often one or two minutes late for the classes. However, this was the new professor's first class, she had to show a serious attitude, right?
Robert complained: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have come so early."
White: "Could it be that something came up last minute?"
Robert: "I doubt it."
...
As time passed, the patience of the students was gradually worn away.
It took a full five minutes before the ceiling of the classroom suddenly became transparent, just like when Professor Didi was teaching.
But the distance between the ceiling and the night sky had not been shortened.
What immediately appeared after was a pumpkin carriage that seemed to have come out of a fairy tale!
But unlike the ordinary horse-drawn carriages, this carriage was pulled by two dark and fuzzy animal shadows on a winding glowing road extended from the dark sky to the classroom.
The ceiling suddenly split from the middle and retracted to the sides.
The pumpkin carriage flew down along the road, arrived at the classroom amid the exclamations of the students, and stopped next to the podium.
As the pumpkin carriage stopped, a witch dressed in dark purple lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
Medea Bartholomew lifted her slender legs tightly wrapped in purple stockings and stepped from the carriage to the ground, making all the students' hearts tremble.
"Clack!" It was the sound made by the sharp high heels touching the ground.
Medea took off the pointed witch hat and shook her head slightly, her long dark purple hair falling like a waterfall, and a strong fragrance spreading out.
That mature woman's demeanor made the boys in the front row blush.
She grabbed the brim of her hat and waved it at the pumpkin carriage. The carriage suddenly turned into thick billowing black smoke and flew into the hat.
She then took out a thin wand from the witch's hat, and pointed it at the hat, the witch's hat suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"(*@o@*) Wow~" the audience exclaimed in amazement!
...
"Does she think this is a circus show?" Dark couldn't help covering his forehead.
The new professor didn't give him a very good impression. He always felt that this professor was too showy.
But the little magisters seemed to like this show and even ignored the fact that she was late for the class.
Dianna was still clapping her hands vigorously even at this moment. Her face flushed with excitement making Dark want to pinch it!
After a while, Medea seemed to have had enough of the compliments from the students, and finally raised her hand and pressed it down.
When the classroom quieted down a little, she began to formally introduce herself: "I think you all should have already known by now that I am your substitute professor of astronomy this semester. But you probably still haven't heard my name yet. Let me introduce myself. I'm the Guide of Destiny, the Star-eyed Fortune-teller, and the Witch of the Silver Moon - Medea Bartholomew!"
The Guide of Destiny!
The Star-eyed Fortune-teller!
The Witch of the Silver Moon!
The little magisters didn't know what these three titles meant, but it still didn't prevent them from being amazed by them. All of them clapped their hands vigorously, and for a while, the atmosphere of the class became like that of an idol meeting her fans.
The corners of Medea's mouth curled up slightly, showing a hint of triumph.
Sure enough, when feeling lonely, I should go out for a walk. The Star Tower is still too deserted.
...
But Medea came to Saint Marian to teach after all, not to perform.
After introducing herself, she walked up to the podium, took out a roll call, and said with a smile, "Now it's my turn to get to know you all. So those whose names were called, please stand up. If possible, it is best to use one sentence to simply introduce yourself so that I can get to know you better. Then, the first one, Emma Mortis!"
Emma was dazed for a moment.
She remembered that her name was not first on the roll.
But now that Professor Medea Bartholomew called her, she had to stand up.
"So you are Miss Mortis?" Medea nodded and asked, "I heard you are the disciple of the Sage of Mysteries?"
Emma was dazed again, then shook her head and said; "No. Although my mother is a student of Sage of Mysteries, Sage of Mysteries has many students, and she is just one of them. I have nothing to do with the Sage of Mysteries."
Medea squinted slightly, looked at her carefully, and then suddenly said: "Your throne stands in the land of gold."
Emma blinked her eyes in confusion, not knowing what she meant.
But Medea didn't seem to want to explain what she meant. She directly skipped Emma and called out the second student's name.
Every time a name was called, she would say an inexplicable sentence.
A student asked her if it was a prediction, but she shook her head in denial.
...
"Sara Swati."
"Yes."
Sara put down her pen and stood up, intrigued by the specious "prediction" of the new professor.
She first introduced herself in one sentence: "Hello, professor, I am a knowledge seeker who aspires to be a hard-working scholar."
Medea said, "It's a very good ambition. Look forward to it, drink with the ancient gods on the river Styx."
Sara rolled her eyes and said, "Professor, I'm still young."
Medea was dazed for a moment, then smiled: "I'm not cursing you."
"That's good." Sara sat down, feeling relieved.
...
"Teddy Doron."
"Here."
Doron stood up abruptly, he was very interested in what the professor called the "Fortune-teller" had said, and wanted to know what kind of "prediction" she would make about him.
Professor Medea Bartholomew looked at him with a smile.
After three seconds, Doron woke up and said quickly: "The Wall of the Kingdom, the Doron family, the Noble House, Gentleman!"
"Okay, my little gentleman." Medea smiled and said: "Time will heal wounds "
"Huh?" Doron's excitement disappeared in an instant: "Professor, what does this mean?"
Medea comforted: "Don't worry too much, people will always experience trauma in their lives. As I said, this is not a prediction."
Doron : Then why did you say it? Ahhhh!
Doron sat down feeling heavy in his heart.
...
"Rose Rothrock."
"Yes, Professor." Rose stood up under Dianna's envious gaze.
She thought for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Hello, professor, I have an orange cat grass."
Medea's expression changed slightly. She looked at her carefully, and her pupils slightly expanded, reflecting a silver moon.
After a few moments, she opened her mouth, uttering in a distant and ethereal voice: "Above the stars, your destiny."
Rose half-opened her mouth: "Professor, I'm just an ordinary..."
Medea waved her hand and smiled: "No one is ordinary. Remember my words, great people are born great."
Rose sat down in confusion, but still noted down two sentences from Professor Medea.
Although Professor Medea repeatedly stated that what she said was not a prediction, the more she denied it, the more students felt like she was lying.
This may be a verbal skill.
Or maybe she was just telling the truth.
Who knows.
...
Prophets or fortune-tellers throughout the ages, whether they were real or not, always liked to speak in riddles to decorate their "predictions".
There were naturally necessary reasons for this, but it did greatly reduce the credibility of the "prediction", and it also allowed some imposters to take advantage of this.
The "predictions" of Professor Medea were also obviously the same, and she always used some high-sounding vocabularies.
For example, "Throne", "Ancient God", "Time", "Stars"...
But if one analyzed it in depth, one may be able to parse something that was completely different from the literal meaning.
But under the current situation, the little magisters didn't think that much about it at all.
They were not surprised by the grand-sounding predictions about Emma and Sara, but they did not expect that Rose, who was inconspicuous in all aspects, would get such a "high praise"!
"Above the stars", and "great people", was it really appropriate to use those words to describe her?
Many students couldn't help but look back at her with various meanings in their eyes.
But Rose herself was confused and even felt a little helpless.
She subconsciously held Dianna's hand. Only then did she calm down a little.
"Dianna Great Bayer." Professor Medea called Dianna's name at this time.
Dianna originally wanted to hear what prediction the new professor would make about her, but she was a little unhappy when she saw that Rose was troubled by the "prediction".
She pouted and said, "I'm Dianna, I like bears, I want to be a heroine, and my idol is Valkyrie."
Professor Medea nodded slightly and said, "Your name will be engraved on the Heroic Spirit Stele."
What is Heroic Spirit?
The heroic spirits are those who have done great deeds when they are alive, and become the objects of belief after they passed away.
In other words, she would be a heroine in the future!
...
Professor Medea's straightforward "prediction" made the students shift their attention to Dianna.
Among them, White's eyes were the most ardent.
Because Dianna's goal was very similar to his goal.
Becoming a hero and becoming the real Brave One was his wish after learning that he was the son of the Brave One.
He really wished that Professor Medea would make the same "prediction" about him.
...
"This is very interesting." Dark put down his pen and looked at the names and "predictions" written all over the page.
Starting with Emma, he wrote down every "prediction" that Professor Medea said.
Even if he knew very well that these "predictions" of Professor Medea were not reliable.
After all, no fortune-teller would give so many predictions at once.
One must pay a price to look into someone's fate.
But that didn't stop him from having fun.
