Professor Medea looked calm and smiled: "Looking at the essence through the surface is the core of prediction interpretation. Death in astrology does not only mean the end, it can also be the beginning. Even from the word 'death', you can find 'birth'. My words today have no significant meaning, so please don't keep it in mind."

Meaning: I'm talking nonsense, don't over-interpret it.

But for the little magisters, it didn't really matter if the content was true or false, as long as it sounded ominous, they would assume that it was a bad sign.

This was an inescapable fact, and it would be considered bad luck.

Doron on the other side couldn't help but cast a pitying look.

Robert was soon surrounded by sympathetic gazes, making him a little bit startled.

...

After seeing this scene, Dark noted down the "prediction" about Robert and deduced as follows:

Professor Medea's prediction seems to be ominous. But life is like a chess game, and everyone is a pawn in the game.

But people would eventually die, and when they died, the pawns representing them would die too.

Isn't this one of the interpretations of this prediction?

So does this really count as a prediction? If it counts, doesn't it mean that everyone can be a fortune-teller?

Emmm...

"White Gawd!" Before White sat down, Professor Medea had already called his name directly.

White was shocked, his face subconsciously tense.

He thought for a while and said, "Professor, I'm a first-year student at Knight House. If I had to say something I liked, Magic Chess should be one of them. My future goal is to become a hero just like my father."

Professor Medea nodded and said, "Bright Gawd is your father, right?"

White: "Yes."

Medea became a little serious, the silver moon in the depths of her eyes gradually became fuller, and her voice became a little more ethereal: "History repeats itself, the circle of life is never-ending."

White: "What does that mean?"

Medea smiled: "Everyone has their own interpretations."

White sat down with a bewildered face.

After a long while, he asked Robert, "Is she saying that I will repeat the way my father walked?"

Robert still looked glum: "Isn't that very bad?"

White wondered: "Why?"

Robert said casually: " Didn't your father sacrifice his own life?"

White: "..."

...

The identity of the son of the Brave One was different after all.

The prediction Professor Medea made about White obviously caused a wave of commotion, which spread quietly among the students.

The way they looked at White changed again.

"History repeats itself, the circle of life is never-ending. Does Professor Medea mean that White will eventually become the Brave One?" Dianna was unexpectedly smart once. She turned and asked Dark in a low voice.

Dark smiled and said, "Maybe."

After all, White was indeed the protagonist in the original game. If his fate didn't change, then he would definitely become the Brave One.

Although Dark didn't see it for the time being, White must have the unique potential of the Brave One.

As for what it would be in the future, no one could say for sure.

Even the fortune tellers were divided into two factions.

One faction believed in the theory of linear fate.

They believed that the future direction was a linear line, everything was determined and couldn't be changed, and people could only move forward slowly according to the trajectory of fate.

So-called fortune-tellers were just observers of fate's trajectory.

Another faction believed in the theory of divergent fate.

They believed that the future direction had multiple lines, and it was uncertain.

What fortune-tellers could observe was only a fragment of one of the lines, but from the time that fragment was observed, the world line would've changed.

Therefore, this faction also believed that fortune-tellers were fate-changers independent of the world line, and they were great and noble.

The former was more friendly to the people.

The latter was relatively arrogant.

The former had a longer lifespan.

The latter had a shorter lifespan.

That was pretty much how they were categorized.

Although Dark was not a fortune-teller, he clearly preferred the latter faction.

He also believed that fate had already changed since he "observed" part of the future, and everything was still uncertain.

...

Professor Medea on the podium captured the eyes, expressions, and whispers of the children.

She knew that this year's students were very special.

The son of the Brave One, and the son of Valkyrie.

The bloodline of the Golden Generation was very attractive to fortune-tellers.

A large number of fortune-tellers, both true and fake, had made predictions about this year's students, and some predictions were similar, and some were completely opposite.

But that was what the prediction was.

Even if some elements that predicted the future were observed, these elements needed to be carefully interpreted.

And the same element, in the eyes of different fortune-tellers, usually presented completely different meanings.

So no one could know whether their own predictions were correct, let alone someone else's, until they were corroborated by a definite future.

The Tower Master of Star Tower once tried to add "probability theory" to divination, but the calculation of probability was too complicated, and they lacked the proper model, so it could only be superficial in the end.

Medea was an astrologer from the Star Tower.

The real reason why she agreed to Arte's invitation and came to Saint Marian as a substitute professor was actually to observe this year's students closely in order to decipher a prediction.

A prediction about the stars, the dark mist, and the abyss.

...

"Eudora Envy."

"Yes, yes!" The girl with the pink doll hair hurriedly stood up, lowering her head a little timidly.

Medea's eyes flashed slightly, and she encouraged, "Be brave and raise your head."

Eudora raised her head, her big eyes with extremely long eyelashes twinkling slightly.

But when meeting Medea's eyes, Eudora suddenly froze.

There were actually stars emerging in the depths of her eyes, competing with the silver moon in the depths of Medea's eyes.

At this moment, Medea's face suddenly showed ecstasy!

She did not expect that among the students of this class hid such a good talented student!

-The Eye of Stars!

Those who had the Eye of Stars could see the trajectories of the stars and glimpse into people's destinies.

Every star-eyed owner was a born astrologer!

If she could make Eudora her disciple, even if she failed to decipher the prediction, it would be a worthwhile trip.

But in this classroom, it was obviously not the time to act so eagerly.

Medea quickly restrained her expression and said softly, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"I." Eudora hesitated for a while, then said, "I'm Eudora, I like the starry sky, and my dream is to become a bride."

Medea was dazed for a moment, then sighed: "It's a good dream. Your eyes contain stars, and the dark night will bless you."

Few astrologers were able to get married.

Eudora looked slightly happy, and said loudly, "Thank you!"

...

Time passed bit by bit.

Dark thought that this astronomy class might be spent in self-introductions and "predictions" when he heard his name.

"Dark Demon."

He got up calmly, looked up at Medea, and started to introduce himself casually: "Hello, professor. I don't have many hobbies or ambitions...mhm, if I had to choose one, it would be I like cats, and I hope to inherit the family business after graduation."

→Relieve his worries, inherit Duke's title, gain billions of wealth, pet cats, and have fun.

Mhm, that was the dream of Dark Demon right now.

After he finished speaking, he calmly faced the gazes around him, waiting for Medea's "prediction".

But Medea almost got blinded by staring at him a little.

She quickly turned her eyes to the side, lingering in fear.

In fact, this was not the first time she was almost blinded by looking at Dark.

Since entering this classroom, she couldn't help but look at that corner several times.

And every time she glanced over, her eyes would be dazzled by him once.

"I didn't expect Valkyrie's son to be Child of the Stars..." Medea couldn't help but murmur.

The moon was also one of the stars.

Medea's "Eye of the Silver Moon", like Eudora's Star Eye, was a type of "Eye of Stars".

But her Eye of the Silver Moon was noticeably more mature, and she could see more in-depth!

In her field of vision, Dark was simply an aggregation of stars!

Hot sun.

Soft moon.

Calm Saturn.

Resolute Venus.

Restless Jupiter.

...

The stars, big and small, came together to form a dazzling star map.

In historical accounts, people with this kind of sight were called "Children of the Stars", and it was said that they could use the power of the stars to create miracles.

...

The first time she saw Dark, she thought that he should be the key to interpreting the prediction she wanted to find.

But then, she found more "great people" in this classroom.

Thus expanding the scope of "stars" to several students.

...

Medea closed her eyes, concealed her silver moons, and then opened her eyes again to look at "Child of the Stars".

She opened her mouth with a unique voice: "Don't worry, and don't hesitate, embrace all the stars, and embrace all."

...

Dark was dazed suddenly.

Professor Medea's "prediction" surprised him, even startled him a little.

He sat down slowly, and then realized that he might be thinking too much.

As long as he continued to walk on his own path, some future branch lines would not exist, and it would be impossible to appear in the prediction at all.

So there was no need to worry about that.

But the new astronomy professor seemed to have some special abilities.

...

Unlike some other "predictions" that were more indicative, the prediction about Dark actually rather vague, and without personal experience, it would be difficult to understand its meaning.

But the reason why Medea said this sentence was completely different from what Dark understood.

In terms of other students, they were even more confused.

Some people thought that Professor Medea meant that Dark would definitely be able to inherit the Duchess' wealth and get everything he wanted.

And that was the life of the Duchess's son, which it was pointless to envy him.

But it also showed that this sentence couldn't be more pointless.

...

Among other students, only Eudora seemed to hear something else and couldn't help covering her hot cheeks.

And Rose, who got the "prediction" of "above the stars, your destination", was quite sensitive to the word "stars" in it, and thought of something else in another sense.

She couldn't help but look away.

In addition, the "prediction" that Dark obtained was not as impressive as that of the son of the Brave One.

Some people even speculated secretly: "I heard that the Brave One Bright was not a particularly top student in his student days. Could this also be that history repeats itself and White will really become the Brave One?"

But fortune-tellers would always say: "Since ancient times, whenever the Brave One appeared, it was the time when mankind needed him."

If White really became the Brave One, doesn't it mean that disaster would really come?

Speculations of all kinds were spreading in the classroom, and the little magisters whispered to each other and speculated about each other.

Medea's roll call and "prediction" continued.

...

The entire roll call process was finally over with a few minutes left before class ended.

The process was long, but the students did not find it boring.

Professor Medea's "prediction" was still very interesting. Some students who had obtained a good prediction even noted it down, preparing to make amulets and other accessories later.

And some students who got bad predictions, although they complained noisily on the surface, deep down they didn't care too much except for being a little frustrated.

There were only a handful of people who felt as if something was stuck in their throats.

For example, Doron and Robert, just could not let go.

In the last few minutes of the class, the atmosphere became more and more active after the little magisters found that the roll call was finally over, and the class would be over in a few minutes.

But Professor Medea suddenly waved her wand, drew a purple heart in the air that remained for a few seconds, and then said a little loudly: "Today is my first lecture, but I didn't teach much knowledge."

You didn't teach anything at all.

Dark in the last row couldn't help but complain silently. He brought little Eevee to the class hoping that it could learn something, but in the end... Well, Eevee-chan only learned the faces of all the first-year students.

Professor Medea continued: "I know that astronomy is just a hobby class in the first year, but now that I'm here, it will no longer be a hobby class. We have at least one semester to get to know each other, during which time, I will teach you some astrology-related knowledge, and tonight is just the beginning. I hope that when you go back, you can try to interpret the sentence I gave during the roll call, which will be our first homework. Do you understand?"

"Understood… my butt!"

The classroom was instantly filled with noisy complaints!

Not everyone had the habit of taking notes.

Most people even just listened to it, and then focused all their attention on the "prediction" about others without thinking much.

So they turned their heads hurriedly, wanting to ask if their tablemates had made any notes, but they often saw the same confused expressions on their tablemates' faces.
