Chapter 1338: Chapter 530: Thought Fermentation (Part 2)

"When I sincerely try to understand someone, my perception ability becomes particularly sharp. If I approach with doubt or fear, the third eye instead becomes dull."

Hillas quickly records these answers, but his mind is undergoing intense inner conflict.

According to traditional theories of Enchantment, emotional states are interfering factors in the stability of magic and should be strictly controlled and eliminated.

However, the students’ descriptions suggest a completely opposite conclusion.

"Did you notice the commonality?"

Ron walks around the classroom, asking each student one by one, then returns to the podium and looks at every student:

"It’s under specific emotional states that your Elemental Affinity reaches its optimal condition. What does this signify?"

He draws a new chart on the presentation board:

"Elements are not simply ’controlled’ by your bloodline, but more accurately, they are summoned by your ’intent’ and ’emotion’.

The bloodline only provides basic compatibility. What truly determines the affinity intensity is the degree of resonance between the inner state and the essence of the element."

Hillas’s recording pen leaves a deep ink spot on the paper.

This theory is clearly classified in the traditional academic world as "emotional mysticism", a heretical thought deemed lacking scientific basis.

But Ron’s next demonstration gives his accepted cognition a fierce shock:

"Lira, can you activate the third eye with emotion of anger?"

"I...I’ll try."

The three-eyed race girl hesitates but still follows her master’s request, recalling an experience that made her angry.

When anger burns in her heart, the silver eye on her forehead suddenly opens, emitting a chaotic and glaring light.

"What did you see?" Ron asks.

"Very chaotic..." Lira frowns:

"I can feel a lot of emotions, but they’re intertwined, like a tangled mess, impossible to discern."

"Now, try with a curious emotion."

Lira takes a deep breath, suppresses the anger, and instead ignites a pure curiosity about the unknown.

This time, the light from the third eye becomes gentle and stable.

"What about now?"

"Much clearer!" Lira exclaims with surprise:

"I can accurately perceive everyone’s emotional state, and even detect subtle inclinations of thought."

Hillas quickly retrieves data from the recording device.

The device clearly shows that Lira’s perception accuracy improves by 31.7% in a state of "curiosity" compared to "anger".

This figure strikes his cognitive system like a lightning bolt.

According to traditional theory, emotions should be an unstable factor.

But the facts before him prove that specific emotional states can significantly enhance the performance of extraordinary ability.

"Emotion is the ’key’ to elemental resonance."

Ron’s summary resonates in the classroom:

"Every element has an emotional frequency that matches its essence. Fire desires passion and transformation, water seeks inclusivity and flow, wind pursues freedom and communication, earth needs stability and support."

"Finding the right emotional key can open the door to the elements. This is the true essence of Elemental Affinity."

After class ended, Hillas sits alone in the empty classroom, staring at the data on the recording device that confuses him.

In the end, he just writes in the assessment report:

"Teaching content highly innovative, theory coherence relatively high, experimental verification effect evident. The integration of tradition and innovation deserves deep research. Practical value... remains to be further verified."

The last few words are written somewhat hesitantly, the handwriting revealing inner wavering.

......

The third auditing class is scheduled for the evening.

The orange-red light of twin stars shines through the crystal windows into the classroom, coating the entire space with a layer of warm golden color.

Hillas arrives ten minutes earlier than the appointed time, this time choosing a middle-back seat.

He can clearly observe the teaching process without being too conspicuous.

Today’s class theme surprised him: "Analysis of Wizard Civilization Expansion Models."

Hillas originally thought it would be a boring lecture on historical accounts and theoretical indoctrination.

But Ron’s opening speech surprises him once again:

"Today, we’re not discussing history, we’re entering history."

The black-haired young man casually draws a simple star map on the presentation board, marking several different civilization nodes:

"Imagine you are the first batch of wizard explorers in human history to set foot in Otherworld. Before you is an entirely unknown intelligent race, possessing completely different culture, values, and technological systems."

He turns to face the students:

"Now, you need to decide how to establish relations with this civilization. Everyone must propose their own plan and bear the consequences of their choices."

The students immediately become excited.

This participatory teaching method transforms them from passive recipients to active decision-makers.

"Direct conquest is the simplest!"

Gareen is the first to raise his hand to speak, his tone carrying the distinctive enthusiasm of the youth:

"We possess more advanced magic and stronger individual combat power, which can undoubtedly establish an order of dominance through force."

"That will trigger fierce resistance." Lira immediately refutes:

"Forced conquest will only create deep-seated hatred in the opponent. Even if they temporarily submit, they will secretly accumulate strength to retaliate. Moreover, our numbers are definitely fewer than the local natives, making long-term rule difficult."

"We can utilize technological advantage for trade."
