New students.
Theoretical knowledge took up a large part of the curriculum.
Each student’s own understanding of this world at home would definitely be very narrow, and they would not be taught as much as in school.
At this moment, Lin An and the others were being taught some theoretical knowledge by Sophia.
Sophia stood on the podium and asked, “Do you know how big the Star Continent Is?”
None of the students below stood out to answer, so Sophia could only continue to say, “The Star Continent is incomparably vast. There are hundreds of kingdoms and five empires. In addition to these countries, there are also countless magical beasts and special races. Comparatively speaking, we humans are still relatively weak.”
Hearing this, Lin An was also very interested.
Previously, Lin An could understand that the biggest country was only the Scott Kingdom.
But just like what Sophia said, there were hundreds of kingdoms like Scott, and there were even empires above kingdoms.
And besides the human countries, there were other races and magical beasts.
A student raised his hand and asked, “Teacher, I have a question. Are humans very weak? You must know that we humans have divine-level experts.”
Faced with this question… Sophia only said calmly, “That’s right, divine-level experts. It’s precisely because of the existence of divine-level experts that we humans are so prosperous. However, do you know how important we humans were on the road before the appearance of divine-level experts?”
The middle-aged man was puzzled, but Sophia continued, “Orcs are good at fighting. They have the physique of magical beasts and a strong physical body. We humans can’t compare to them. They are even more immune to magic than the Mongol Orcs.”
“Elves are good at magic. An adult elf doesn’t need to cultivate to become a qualified sorcerer. The powerful elven queen can even cast forbidden spells with ease.”
“Dwarves are good at forging equipment. Their craftsmanship is exquisite, and they have even forged several divine artifacts. Moreover, dwarves are born swordsmen, and there are no lack of sword gods in their race.”
“Dragon race… Wolf race… Vampire race… There are many races that possess talents that we humans can not compare to. Do you still think that humans are very strong?”
Hearing everything that Sophia said, the students below started breathing rapidly.
Orcs, elves, dwarves, dragons, wolves, vampires… These kinds of races were rarely heard of. Some students even thought that these races were all imaginary.
But since Sophia told them about them, they were real.
Seeing the students’ reactions, Sophia nodded with satisfaction and said, “I’m telling you this not to make you afraid, but to let you know that the rise of human beings was not smooth sailing, but through many difficulties.”
One of the students asked, “Teacher Sophia, do these races still exist? Will they pose a threat to us humans?”
Sophia replied, “Of course they still exist. But they rarely come into contact with us humans. What we need to be wary of is not these races, but the magical beasts!”
“Do you see how peaceful the Scott Kingdom is now? It has not suffered the ravages of war, and the people are living a very happy life.”
“But these are just appearances. The Scott Kingdom stationed 300,000 soldiers at the southern border to defend the Heaven’s End Valley to prevent the magical beasts inside from invading the Scott Kingdom.”
“Northern Snow City. The kingdom’s only grandmaster sorcerer stationed here all year round because outside Snow City, there are countless magical beasts that have coveted our kingdom for a long time, preventing them from invading.”
“As for the east and west, they are connected to other countries. There’s no need to guard against them too much. Otherwise, our Scott Kingdom wouldn’t be able to defend against them at all.”
What Sophia said was beyond everyone’s understanding.
In the past, no one had ever considered so much, nor did they know that the outside world was actually so dangerous.
Lin An was the same. He had just transmigrated to this world not long ago, and his understanding of this world was even less.
“Teacher Sophia, are magical beasts that scary? There’s a magical beast forest near our Rand Town. The magical beasts inside aren’t that powerful,” someone asked.
“The magical beasts in the kingdom aren’t that powerful. The powerful magical beasts have already been killed. The magical beasts that remain aren’t that powerful.”
“Next, I’ll explain the magical beasts to you in detail.”
Sophia then displayed her powerful control over the elements.
She used magic to condense the appearances of the magical beasts using water magic.
“Magical beasts are divided into nine levels. level-1 magical beasts are the weakest, level-9 magical beasts are the strongest, and above that is the most powerful beast god.”
“In the kingdom, the most powerful magical beasts are only level-5 magical beasts, but outside the kingdom, there are many level-5 magical beasts.”
A level-5 magical beast was equivalent to a human’s grandmage.
Such an existence was enough to easily destroy a town.
Sophia continued, “Let me explain to you about low-level magical beasts. Before long, when you go to the Magical Beast Forest to train, you will come into contact with them.”
“A level-1 magical beast, the Illusionary Light Rat, has speed. Its teeth can bite through steel. If you encounter it, it will be very dangerous.”
“A level-2 magical beast…”
“A level-3 magical beast…”
One magical beast after another was condensed under Sophia’s spell. All the students were very engrossed in listening.
In the past, they had never received such detailed teaching.
At this moment, Lin An was also listening seriously. Under Sophia’s teaching, Lin An seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
It was Lin An’s first time hearing about many magical beasts, and he was filled with curiosity.
Moreover, Lin An also realized that it wasn’t so easy to be a magic sorcerer.
In the past, Lin An thought that as long as he became a magic sorcerer, he would be able to enjoy excellent treatment in the kingdom and not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.
But now, Lin An felt that this world was too dangerous.
Not only were there many magical beasts, but there were also many terrifying races.
If he was ordered to go out and fight one day, it would be much more dangerous than ordinary people.
However, Lin An wasn’t too afraid. No matter how strong the enemy was, could they withstand the forbidden spells?
As long as he had a high enough level, he could keep throwing forbidden spells without even a cooldown time.
If he threw out a few SSS-level forbidden spells, even an archmage might not be able to withstand it.
