Chapter 15 Visiting the Two Graduate Schools (Part 2)
As the magic flying car landed smoothly, the Chu family arrived at Mingxi Holy Academy. This academy was completely different from the previous Holy Light Noble Academy—there were no towering towers or elaborately decorated carved beams and painted rafters; everything before them appeared simple and understated.
The unadorned buildings, scattered across a large expanse of green space, exude a tranquil academic atmosphere.
With a faint smile, the team leader slowly introduced, "The architectural style of Mingxi Sacred Academy emphasizes practicality and functionality. We prefer to invest resources in the essence of education and the actual needs of students. This is our academy's philosophy: focusing on substance rather than appearance."
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen looked around and found that the buildings here had simple and smooth lines, and understated and elegant colors, blending into the natural environment surrounding the academy without any superfluous or ostentatious decorations. However, this simplicity did not appear monotonous, but rather exuded a calm and reserved temperament, which inspired respect.
“This place gives people a sense of tranquility and purity,” Qiu Jingya whispered to Chu Siyuan. “Perhaps this kind of atmosphere makes it easier for people to focus on their studies.”
Chu Siyuan nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval: "That's right. Compared to its outward splendor, the true value of an academy lies in the kind of talent it cultivates. It seems that Mingxi Sacred Academy is indeed unique in this regard."
The team leader overheard their conversation and added with a smile, “Although our architectural style is simple, every tree and every brick has been meticulously designed. Our goal is to provide students with an efficient and comfortable learning and growth environment. The academy’s library and combat room are our proudest facilities, with advanced functions and abundant resources, which can fully meet the students’ learning and training needs.”
Guided by their leader, the Chu family proceeded along the academy's main road. Along the way, they saw some students conducting physical training on the outdoor training field. Some students were running around the track, while others were practicing combat techniques, sweating profusely.
“A notable feature of Mingxi Holy Academy is that we place particular emphasis on the physical training of magicians.”
The team leader stopped and pointed to an area on the training field, his voice tinged with pride, "Although mages mainly rely on magic for ranged attacks, having a strong physique is equally important. An excellent mage needs quick reflexes and strong physical abilities to quickly dodge enemy attacks in battle, thereby increasing their survival rate on the battlefield."
The team leader waved to signal everyone to continue walking forward. "We have designed a variety of physical training programs, from endurance running to combat training and strength training, with the aim of helping students improve their magical abilities while strengthening their physical fitness. This comprehensive training approach is one of the characteristics of our academy."
Chu Yichen listened intently, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the trainees on the training field. Their sweat and focused expressions greatly piqued his interest.
“Physical training for mages is indeed an area that is easily overlooked.” Qiu Jingya nodded slightly. “In the face of a prolonged battle, a lack of physical strength can become a huge weakness.”
Chu Qiuchi pondered to himself: Indeed, excellent physical fitness is very important for mages; fragile mages are unacceptable. It seems that Mingxi Holy Academy's teaching philosophy is quite avant-garde. This all-round development concept is undoubtedly more in line with the needs of actual combat.
Chu Siyuan nodded slightly, looking at the students on the training ground. "Mingxi Holy Academy not only teaches magical knowledge, but also cultivates the all-round qualities of magicians. Not bad, not bad. This kind of training method will surely benefit the students here greatly in the future."
During their subsequent visit, the Chu family grew increasingly impressed with the philosophy of Mingxi Sacred Academy. In the simple yet serene campus, they personally experienced an educational spirit rooted in reality.
Guided by the team leader, the Chu family entered the academy's classroom. The interior of the classroom was consistent with the academy's overall simple style, with a layout that was simple yet highly functional.
Basic textbooks are neatly arranged on each desk, and detailed magic circle diagrams and concise and powerful mottoes such as "Wisdom is the foundation of power" and "Exploration has no end" hang on the walls, providing constant inspiration for the students.
The team leader smiled and pointed to an interactive magic blackboard in the corner of the classroom: "Our classrooms are designed to provide the best learning environment. This interactive magic blackboard is one of the academy's unique features. It can display the instructor's magic skill demonstrations and theoretical explanations in real time, greatly enhancing the intuitiveness and interactivity of teaching."
Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya carefully examined the blackboard, nodding in approval repeatedly. Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen, on the other hand, secretly thought that if they could study in a classroom like this, their mastery of magical knowledge would be much faster.
The tour leader then guided them to the library. The library's interior layout was equally understated, yet it possessed an undeniable sense of solemnity.
The tall bookshelves were neatly arranged and filled with all kinds of magical books, from precious ancient texts to the most cutting-edge research results in modern times.
The room was quiet and solemn, with only the soft sounds of turning pages and pens scratching across paper. Several students were engrossed in their reading or discussing questions in hushed tones.
"The library of Mingxi Holy Academy is a true treasure trove of knowledge," the team leader said in a low voice so as not to disturb the students who were studying. "Here, students are encouraged to explore freely, and we believe that knowledge is the key to unlocking the mysteries of magic."
The Chu family continued with the team leader to the living area. The living area maintained the college's pragmatic design, with clean and tidy dormitories and simple, cozy common areas. The cafeteria offered a wide variety of healthy meals, and the medical room was always on standby to safeguard the students' health.
At the end of the tour, the tour leader gave a special introduction to the alchemy courses and facilities of Mingxi Holy Academy. "Mingxi Holy Academy is renowned for its outstanding alchemy education. It has cultivated many alchemists who enjoy a high reputation throughout the empire and even the entire continent, and it has the only level 8 alchemist in the entire Aurora Empire."
The alchemy laboratory was filled with all sorts of strange tools and materials, from glittering alchemy tables to sophisticated energy conversion instruments.
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen were deeply attracted by the mysterious alchemy equipment in the laboratory and couldn't wait to try it themselves.
Next, they visited the Alchemy History Exhibition Hall. This hall showcased the illustrious achievements of generations of alchemists at Mingxi Sacred Academy. The walls were covered with portraits, and the display cases were filled with their alchemical works, silently recounting legendary stories of wisdom, innovation, and breakthroughs.
"Our alchemists hold a pivotal position in the fields of potion-making and magical artifact crafting," the team leader said proudly.
As the visit came to a close, the Chu family members were even more impressed with Mingxi Holy Academy. This academy not only emphasized the all-round development of magicians, but also demonstrated unparalleled advantages and profound knowledge in the field of alchemy.
After leaving Mingxi Holy Academy, the Chu family members boarded the magic flying vehicle again. The leader smiled and asked, "The tour of the two academies has come to a successful conclusion. Is there anywhere else you would like to visit?"
Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya exchanged a glance, seemingly discussing their upcoming itinerary in silence. Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen, on the other hand, excitedly discussed the famous scenic spots in the capital that they had heard of.
Chu Siyuan spoke up, his tone filled with anticipation, "If it's convenient, we'd like to visit places that represent the culture and history of the capital."
Qiu Jingya added, "By the way, the children are also very interested in the natural scenery of the capital, especially those places with beautiful legends."
The tour leader readily agreed: "Of course, the capital has many famous historical sites worth visiting. We can go to the Central Region to see the most magnificent magic tower in the Aurora Empire and feel its grandeur and magical power."
"We can also visit the Magic Sanctuary to pay tribute to the Goddess of Dawn and the heroes who bravely sacrificed themselves for the survival of humanity, to express our respect and remembrance for them."
"In addition, a stroll through Lola Park allows you to appreciate the elegance and tranquility of the royal gardens and experience the harmonious beauty of nature. If you have a particular fondness for natural scenery, François Park is also an excellent choice, where the natural landscape is breathtaking."
The tour leader paused for a moment, then added, "Finally, there's Mengyuan Lake, a popular spot for couples to date and play. The lake water is crystal clear, the scenery is picturesque, and it's one of the most romantic corners in the capital."
Under the leader's control, the magic flying car slowly ascended into the air, carrying the Chu family to one famous historical site after another in the capital, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the city's past, present, and future.
