Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Shock from Exam-oriented Education
The teaching continued, and Lucien also temporarily suppressed some thoughts in his heart.
"Instructor Lucien, I have already figured out the content concerning the Gills Vortex on my own!" Carly confidently raised her hand not long after Lucien had started speaking and slightly lifted her head, appearing somewhat self-assured.
Lucien looked at Carly, and his words paused involuntarily.
"At least... I feel like I've understood it." Being gazed at by Lucien, Carly, who had been standing straight, gradually slumped, and her voice grew increasingly feeble until it finally sounded somewhat unconvincing.
"I remember you seemed quite confused about this part just now," Lucien thought to himself.
"I... when I just went to fetch water..." Carly explained in a low voice, which also allowed Lucien to learn indirectly how the system's teaching prompts functioned.
Simply put, the teaching prompt didn't directly infuse knowledge into Carly's memory; instead, it indirectly provided hints and stimuli to the prompted person, thereby allowing them to be inspired and achieve a sudden enlightenment.
After listening to Carly's explanation, Lucien inwardly gave a silent thumbs-up to the teaching prompt function.
One could only say it was worthy of a master teacher system.
Professional.
Lucien praised inwardly. The next moment, he thought of another teaching prompt in his hand that he hadn't used yet.
"What about the part on the use of the Moss Triangle?" Lucien asked Carly, starting to question the next knowledge point.
"Uh..." Carly had completely wilted by now. Her gradually changing little expression almost shifted from "piece of cake" to "dear."
Lucien smiled gently, "All right, then first tell me your understanding, hm, it's okay if you get it wrong, I mainly want to see where you made a mistake."
"Oh." Carly looked at Lucien, slightly timid, seemingly unsure how to begin.
After hesitating for a long while, just when Lucien was becoming somewhat impatient, Carly finally began to speak very softly, very slowly.
"I think..." Carly said cautiously, fearing to make any major blunders that might make Instructor Lucien laugh, but as she spoke, she suddenly froze.
As she slowly narrated, the related knowledge points seemed to slowly organize themselves, and what had initially felt confusing became increasingly clear as she kept talking, as if being unraveled thread by thread.
"I... I think I understand now!" Carly looked at Lucien, who still wore a serene smile, and after the excitement subsided, she gradually calmed down.
"Instructor Lucien, you seemed to know that I would understand as I kept talking. Or should I say, having me discuss this knowledge point was your intentional guidance?" Carly couldn't help but feel admiration, and looking at Lucien, she felt his figure loom even larger now.
[Your student Carly holds you in high esteem, esteem value +1]
"Hmm, the progress has increased by 1.74%?" Lucien looked at the panel in front of him and his gaze towards Carly also grew more appreciative.
"Alright, there's no need to continue, you probably have figured this part out by yourself." Lucien looked at Carly, showing a smile.
…
"That's all for today." Outside, the stars were already hanging high in the night sky.
Lucien glanced at Carly, who was struggling not to fall asleep by now, feeling quite pleased inwardly.
At this point in the teaching progress, they had reached 23.47%. According to this pace, Carly would be able to complete her learning of the Meditation Method in another day or two and could begin the subsequent lessons.
"Thank you, Mentor Lucien," Carly said, gently rubbing her head. Though exhausted, she felt very fulfilled and satisfied.
"Don't forget to come over tomorrow morning, we aim to finish the Meditation Method by tomorrow," Lucien encouraged.
"Then I'll head back now," Carly's face blushed slightly, thinking about the profound Meditation Method "torturing" her again tomorrow. At the moment, she was both anticipating and slightly painful.
"Digest what you've learned after you go back," Lucien waved his hand, watching Carly leave before he sat back in his seat and began pondering the plans ahead.
Although he was also enjoying the relaxing sensation of teaching Carly, he would not forget that the original purpose of taking in a student was to enhance his strength and protect himself.
"With the new Meditation Method, give me some time, and I have absolute confidence in advancing to a Formal Wizard. But unfortunately, a good Meditation Method is not very helpful in solving my current predicament," he reflected.
Lucien slightly furrowed his brow.
To put it unpleasantly, in the eyes of some Third-level Wizard Apprentices and Second-level Wizard Apprentices, he was now a piece of juicy meat, making them stir in the shadows.
Nolian was only the first to come forward, but he would not be the last.
If he couldn't demonstrate enough strength to shatter their covetous gaze in a short time, he would end up being devoured by them in the end.
At this moment, he had to show his tough side and, if necessary, kill the chicken to frighten the monkeys to achieve a sufficient deterrent effect.
A hint of ruthlessness and decisiveness flashed in Lucien's eyes.
"However, if I want to improve my strength, I will need to rely on the system's feedback or, rather, Carly's training, especially in teaching her some combat witchcraft. That way, I could harvest powerful modified witchcraft spells and thus increase my combat power," he thought.
Lucien quickly identified the key to breaking the situation, but soon, his brow furrowed again.
Because witchcraft and the Meditation Method were different, before teaching witchcraft, he first needed to teach Carly some foundational knowledge, such as anatomy and energy regulation. With this foundational knowledge, Carly could then learn and study the witchcraft that followed.
This was like learning English, where a substantial vocabulary was necessary. Without vocabulary accumulation, mastering English would prove incredibly difficult.
But this would undoubtedly slow down the teaching pace, as these foundational courses primarily featured tedium.
And right now, what Lucien lacked the most was time!
"How can I improve Carly's learning efficiency?" Lucien pondered, supporting his chin with his hand.
"I cannot simply let Carly attend public courses like other instructors. That way, it would take her at least three months just to grasp the most basic knowledge," Lucien's fingers intertwined, his eyebrows tightly knit.
However, suddenly, Lucien's eyes brightened.
He was a transmigrator after all! Before transmigrating, he had gone through the gauntlet of the Dragon Kingdom's national examinations!
What was the fastest and most solid method to master tedious foundational knowledge?
Lucien's lips curled into a smile.
It was time for little Carly to experience a bit of shock from the test-oriented education system.
