Chapter 152
“Did the trainer actually ask us to analysis bats?”
“I dont need to, theyre so soiled…”
“Are you silly? Ive seen the analysis of that echo magic: groundbreaking, however restricted by the creators energy, theres a whole lot of room for enchancment. Theres no simpler magic to attain factors with! And its an apprentice-level magic, excellent for our analysis!”
“After dinner, lets go purchase bats!”
“Depend me in! Nicely go collectively!”
The younger girls and boys walked out in teams, discussing the analysis subjects left by the good mage. Garrett trailed behind, listening to that about half of the seventy or eighty folks deliberate to get bats, inflicting him to interrupt into a chilly sweat.
After the category on sound-related magic, the good mage assigned a job to everybody: enhance the echo detection magic or discover their very own distinctive magic by referencing the concepts from bat flight experiments. A phrase was spoken, and lamentations arose.
The coaching programs schedule was versatile, with one main class per day, leaving the remainder of the time for self-study, experiments, and analysis. Ten days for every of the eight faculties, with two days off, and on the eleventh day, it began another time.
A month-to-month quiz assessed psychological energy development and magic studying progress. A quarterly examination evaluated college students magic analysis outcomes. Though not all of the post-class assignments needed to be accomplished, anybody who had carried out analysis knew:
Having a mentor level out the path on your matter in analysis is invaluable!
Particularly in a path with a low entry threshold, wealthy concepts, and relevance to present scorching subjects!
The scholars eagerly rushed in the direction of the chance. Garrett additionally needed to provoke analysis associated to ultrasound, however as he searched and inquired alongside the best way, when he reached the magical supplies middle within the academy, the salesperson regretfully knowledgeable him:
“Sorry, bats are out of inventory.”
“Not even one?” Garrett was shocked. His classmates had been actually good at clearing out stock… However maybe bats had been a distinct segment magical materials, and the middle didnt have a lot in inventory?
He thanked the clerk and went out to inquire. Their coaching course was on the Bridge Magic Academy, proper on the foot of the Magic Council headquarters. It was a bustling space. Garrett walked lower than 5 hundred meters after leaving the college gate and located a small store specializing in magical supplies. When he entered, somebody was inquiring concerning the worth of bats:
“Bats? 5 gold cash for a stay one, 1 gold coin for a lifeless one. Huge or small, identical worth.”
“5 gold cash?” Garrett was shocked. He did have some financial savings items obtained in the course of the hospital opening, allowances obtained after the battle, and the lecturers secret fund earlier than coming to the Magic Council. It added as much as over 100 gold cash. It appeared like a substantial quantity, but when used to purchase bats, it could disappear instantly.
“In these few days… what number of bats have been offered available in the market?!” Garrett had a rising sense of unease.
Glancing across the store, seeing no signal of the proprietor, he prolonged a finger and silently pushed a silver coin throughout the counter. The clerk glanced at him, quietly took the coin, and continued to shake his head.
“Laborious to say. Our retailer is common, possibly two or 300. Simply on this avenue, a minimum of three shops are bigger than ours. As for the academy, council headquarters, and locations like that…”
He paused, tilted his head in thought, then made a sucking sound, clicking his tongue.
“Laborious to say.”
Garretts ominous feeling intensified.
One retailer, two or 300 bats; 4 shops, over a thousand. Add within the academy, the Magic Council, and the like, and it’d double…
How many individuals had been messing round with bats? With so many mages, what number of modern methods would there be to experiment with bats?!
This factor was a strolling virus! In his previous life, he had examine bats carrying over 4,100 forms of viruses, together with over 500 coronaviruses!
Was Ebola not terrifying sufficient when it killed folks? Was the ability of SARS inadequate? Or did Center East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) lack presence?
Even the less-known Marburg virus, Nipah virus, Hendra virus, Hantavirusone after one other, they weren’t straightforward to cope with…
It was high-quality when issues had been calm, however now, with dozens and even a whole bunch of mages all speeding to review bats, with out latex gloves, with out protecting masks, with out protecting eyewear, with out positive-pressure protecting fits, with no P4 laboratory able to successfully isolating the virus…
No expertise, no safety, and so they nonetheless needed to review stay topics.
If even one among them received contaminated, by some stroke of unhealthy luck, it might unfold individual to individual, and the epidemic might sweep by the council headquarters!
Garrett took a deep breath, then exhaled deeply. The joy of wanting to review ultrasound from the lecture had utterly light, changed solely by a way of unease.
How might he cease this bat analysis pattern and get rid of the potential danger of an epidemic?
