The World of Deities

There was complete silence in the hall.

The ordinary students did not know Palos personally and they did not feel anything, so they naturally did not speak.

Those who knew Palos’ identity never expected that she would actually testify for Su Ye at the arbitration meeting.

Previously, there was a rumor that Palos slapped a noble girl for Su Ye, but everyone did not really believe it. Perhaps it was simply because she hated that noble girl.

However, now that she was testifying for Su Ye in public, its significance was too great.

Could it be that Palos’ family supported Su Ye?

When this thought came to mind, most of the nobles shut their mouths forcefully, like children with goldfish in their mouths.

The moment Carlos saw Palos raise the magic book, it was as if he had fallen into a pile of flour. His face instantly turned pale, and he could not recover for a long time.

Hort squatted on the ground and giggled.

Squatting was really comfortable.

On the highest seat, Cromwell looked at the blue-eyed girl wearing an old golden medusa necklace, then looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye’s expression was calm, while Carlos’ face was as white as ash.

Before Cromwell could ask, Su Ye took advantage of the situation and said, “Everyone can actually see it. It is not important that Carlos and I both knew, many years ago, about the embryonic form of Feynman’s technique. Then, what is important? What is important is who was the first to make it public! Let’s consider a hypothetical situation. Even if Carlos was the first to discover Feynman’s technique, if he didn’t make it public, how could I steal his method? I don’t know him at all. I’m just a commoner. Could I have gone to the fifth-grade classroom to peek at his magic book, or could I have gone to his house and hid in a corner to steal his method?”

“This…”

Cromwell wanted to interrupt Su Ye, but he only said one word before Su Ye opened his mouth again. Like a bolt of lightning, Cromwell’s words were cut off.

Su Ye said loudly, “All the evidence shows that I publicised this method on the second and third day of school, and Carlos only announced it seven or eight days after school started. This also means that only Carlos could have stolen the method from me, and it’s not I, Su Ye, who stole from him. As for the time of submission to the Magic Council, it’s not important at all! Students, teachers, and arbitrators, the truth is already obvious. Thus, I implore the Congress of Magic and Plato Academy to expel Carlos!”

The smile on Cromwell’s face completely disappeared.

He could not rebuke Su Ye for interrupting him at this time.

He was not used to being interrupted by a magic apprentice, and it had never happened before.

When Su Ye finished speaking loudly, the attitudes among the students quietly changed.

This was because anyone with just a bit of rationality could tell that it seemed like Su Ye was the first to publicize, and that Carlos was much more suspicious than Su Ye of stealing other people’s methods.

Cromwell asked, “Carlos, do you have any other arguments?”

Carlos said, “If what he said is true, then it’s another possibility. We both discovered a technique that uses teaching as learning. They were originally unrelated to each other, but he later found out that I was also using this technique, so he was certain that his method was correct. Only then did he want to go to the Magic Council to exchange for the Mana Source Badge. However, he didn’t expect that I had already submitted my application. However, no matter what, since I was the one who submitted it first, then the Magic Council can only admit that my article is valid. It has always been judged like this in the past.”

Cromwell nodded and said, “You’re right. In the absence of concrete evidence, the Magic Council can only give priority to the person who first submitted the article.”

Many people frowned. There was nothing wrong with Cromwell’s words. Although the evidence was more in favor of Su Ye, it was not solid evidence. Neither side could obtain solid evidence of the other stealing the method.

Cromwell continued, “The evidence submitted by either side is not enough to prove themselves, and neither is it enough to prove that the other side is the thief. So, let’s put aside the dispute of evidence for the time being. I would like to hear the two of you explain this method in detail so that we can help the arbitration commission identify this new theory.”

Some bold students let out strange coughs and other strange sounds to express their dissatisfaction. Cromwell’s protection of Carlos was too obvious.

Some mages from Plato Academy frowned, but in the end, he did not say anything.

The students from class three wanted to support Su Ye, but they were afraid of those nobles and Cromwell.

“Carlos, tell me how to use your method first,” Cromwell said.

Carlos immediately smiled and said confidently, “I have used this method for many years, and this month, I have summarized it. There are already clear steps.”

“The first step is to first determine what knowledge we need to learn.”

“The second step is to find a patient person and tell him.”

“The third step is to relearn if we are not able to explain it well enough to the other party. Then, try explaining it to them again.”

“The fourth step is to let the other party ask related questions. If you can answer them, it means that you truly understand the knowledge. If you can’t answer them, it means that you don’t understand the knowledge and you need to repeat the third step.”

“These four steps are my ‘teaching as learning’ technique,” Carlos said.

Cromwell nodded and said, “Good. It’s a very good learning method. It’s very ingenious and is indeed surprising.”

The teachers sneered. If this method was called ingenious, then the teachers’ lectures would simply be godly.

Cromwell turned to look at Su Ye and said, “Explain your method. I’ll see how you defend yourself.”

Niedern and some other teachers looked at Cromwell unhappily. Cromwell’s tone was extremely malicious. His choice of words for the two people was completely different. It was as if he had been hinting that there was something wrong with Su Ye.

Su Ye did not care about Cromwell’s words at all. He smiled slightly and looked at Carlos, he said, “When I heard you use the term ‘teaching as learning’, I was indeed shocked because the Feynman technique is indeed ‘teaching as learning’. However, after reading your article, I had a feeling that you did not master this learning method, but you merely described the process of me teaching Hort. After listening to your detailed steps today, I am even more certain. Let me ask you a question, what is the key point of this method of yours? Do you dare say it!”

Carlos also had a smile on his face, he said, “What’s there to be afraid of? Since my method is ‘teaching as learning’, then there are two key points. One is ‘teaching’, and the other is ‘learning’ in the process of teaching. If you can’t teach it properly, you have to learn. This is the key point of teaching as learning.”

“Big mistake! You indeed stole my method and. You have only skimmed the surface and not mastered the essence!” Su Ye said sternly.

“Don’t talk nonsense! This is the main point of ‘teaching as learning’,” Carlos retorted loudly.

Because it was Andrei who helped Carlos secretly find a master to determine the main point, he believed in the master’s conclusion.

Cromwell said, “Su Ye, you need to explain your method now, not refute the other party!”

Su Ye said, “Alright, then I’ll talk about the real Feynman technique.”

“The first step is to determine the knowledge point. That is to first learn about some information.”

“For example, the Divine Realm Light.”
