Chapter 364: Chapter 33 Dimensionism’s World_1

”...Depending on the content and the method of convergence, the resulting forbidden curses will vary significantly. For instance, global convergence vs. local convergence, conditional convergence vs. absolute convergence, and so on, if the range of convergence and divergence differs, the power of the forbidden curse will also vary.”

”Some of you may not understand the ’convergence and divergence’ I mentioned earlier.”

”Where there is convergence, there is divergence. The convergence of wizards to the origin of the world has given rise to forbidden curses, so what about their divergence from the origin of the world?”

The classroom fell into hushed silence.

Everyone was holding their pens, wide-eyed, awaiting the professor’s answer.

Zheng Qing tilted his head, casting a glance at Doctor Xiao sitting next to him.

”The World.” Xiao Xiao propped up his chin with one hand and twirled his brush with the other, replying in a languid manner.

”That’s absolutely correct!” The professor standing at the lectern seized this faint response from the classroom, swung his arm with a squeeze of his fingers, as if he wanted to trap this answer in the palm of his hand: ”The divergence from the origin of the world creates the world... To put it more accurately, it allows us to touch the infinite world!”

Immediately, the classroom was filled with the rustling sound of note-taking.

Coming to this point, the professor seemed to suddenly realize that he had strayed from the syllabus, so he paused for a moment and dragged the topic back to the introductory part of ’dimension theory’.

”Well, the concepts on the types of convergence, convergence-divergence nature and the infinite world we just discussed are complex and profound, topics that only wizards registered at a higher level should study and reflect on. You merely need to understand them superficially.”

”Now, pay attention to the following points.”

Professor Yao changed the subject, put down the topic of the principles of forbidden curses, and started knocking on the blackboard again.

A collective sigh of disappointment echoed in the classroom.

Even if they didn’t understand, sharing to widen everyone’s knowledge was a great idea.

This way, people from their class could half-heartedly lament while boasting, ”Our class didn’t go in-depth during the Philosophy of Magic lecture... The professor just demonstrated a few convergence schemes of forbidden curses... Just took several pages of notes, it was so bothersome...”

Obviously, Professor Yao had not foreseen these absurd ideas of the young wizards. He resumed incessantly stuffing various knowledge points into everyone’s ears:

”...According to the ’Abus Duo Conjecture’, there should be forty to fifty methods of dimension convergence. This means there should be forty to fifty forbidden curses”.

”...Of course, according to the ’Non-Spread of Forbidden Curses Treaty’, no individual or group shall research forbidden curses in any way... any form of dimension fluctuation experiments are prohibited... If any of you young people are paying attention to current affairs, you should have noticed the ’Dark Blue Castle incident’ handled by the Wizard Alliance at the end of this summer. What was happening in that ancient castle was an illegal dimension fluctuation experiment.”

”...So far, there are only five or six known forbidden curses in the world.”

”First University has sealed four of these forbidden curses.”

The classroom quieted momentarily before erupting into clamor.

Everybody was excitedly staring at the professor on the stage, hoping he would reveal more valuable news.

However, Old Yao was destined to disappoint them.

He looked at the excited faces below the stage with satisfaction, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, lifted the corners of his mouth to form a hook-like smile, and said:

”I know the names of these four forbidden curses...but I can’t tell you; I also know where these curses are sealed...but I can’t tell you; I also know the names and locations of two or three other forbidden curses...but I just can’t tell you!”

Immediately, the classroom erupted into chaos.

”You can’t do this! Professor!” Duan Xiao Jian shouted hoarsely: ”We are here to gain knowledge...”

This proclamation immediately resonated with many people.

”Want to know the answers to these questions?” Old Yao rubbed his bald head, lifted his chin high, his face radiating a bright smile. ”Then hurry up and accumulate your academic credits! Once you’ve earned enough credits to graduate and become registered wizards, and enter the research institute of First University, you will be able to know all the answers you want to know...All the mysteries of the wizarding world are hidden there!”

Zheng Qing couldn’t help but burst out laughing, throwing his head onto the table with his shoulders shaking profusely.

He couldn’t explain to others his laughing point.

It would make him appear somewhat foolish.

But evidently, Professor Yao’s words were forgiven by many young wizards below the stage, and the classroom quickly returned to its normal order.

”Order... truly a fascinating dimension line.” The professor squinted his eyes in admiration. But as soon as he changed the subject, he unhesitatingly continued with the lesson:

”After gaining some intuitive understanding of dimension theory, we need to delve deeper, understand the enlightenment brought by dimension theory to wizards’ self-perception and perception of the entire wizarding world.”

”Since the world is dimensional, what about society? What about wizards?”

”In the viewpoint of Dimensionism, society and wizards naturally possess their own dimensionality... In other words, Dimensionism believes that wizards are a type of dimensionalized creature; and the wizarding world is a dimensionalized society.”

Zheng Qing massaged his aching wrist, watching the feather pen bouncing automatically on Duan Xiao Jian’s desk, regretting his stubbornness.

The shorthand quills in the store only cost one bronze coin each.

For a solitary bronze coin, every word spoken by the professor in the classroom could be clearly and accurately recorded.

Compared to high school classes, college professors speak faster and the content is more complex. Sometimes, they involve new topics that freshmen have never encountered - such as Professor Yao who was currently on the stage, carelessly heaving the research content that is above the registered wizard level onto a freshman course.

And he himself, solely for the so-called ’tradition’ of brush calligraphy, solely due to people complimenting him on his good brush strokes, overlooked the necessity of shorthand quills. It was utterly absurd!

Before the next class, he must buy several shorthand quills.

The young student, subsidised by the state, licked the tip of his brush, sighed, continued to bear the pain in his wrist, while listening to the undulating sound of the professor’s voice on the lectern, furiously jotting down notes:

”...You must understand the essence of things.”

”Visible dimensions, such as a wizard’s height, weight, body shape... like a wizard’s number, and so on. These dimensions are outer appearances, and are easily understood and accepted by everyone.”

”As for the inner dimensions, the ones you cannot see, we need to understand their essence more profoundly and associate them with dimensions - like the age of a wizard, his body fat percentage, blood lipid concentrations... and the order of the wizarding society.”

”Yes, order!” Professor Yao pounded his pipe heavily on the blackboard, making a ’dong dong’ sound, emphasizing: ”Here, I need to help you all understand a concept anew.”
