Chapter 241: Chapter 165 Sima Yangyun_1

Sima Yangyun stood at the door of classroom West 201 in the Main Teaching Building, holding her lecture notes.

She was a tall, beautiful woman with black hair cascading over her shoulders. Her skin was fair, and her figure was slender. In everyday life, she loved to wear a pair of silver-framed, frameless glasses and had a faint smile on the corners of her mouth. Even if she wore a large, black robe, she exuded an aura of elegance.

This elegance was ingrained in her lineage.

The Sima family was a renowned lineage of ’Recorders’ in the wizarding world. Throughout the long history of the wizarding world, this family had recorded countless shocking facts with silent observation and peaceful pen strokes. Some have joked that the future of the wizarding world lies in the hands of the headmaster of the Supreme Magical Institute. The present is in the hands of the President of the Wizard Union. While the history is in the hands of the Sima family.

The shadow of their ancestors cast a heavy pressure on Sima Yangyun.

She was quiet, diligent, relentless, and never gave up, but she never succeeded.

When her brother was funded for four consecutive terms at Alpha Institute and became the president of the student council, she unexpectedly entered Jiuyou Academy and became a bookworm in her family’s eyes. When her younger sister applied for the wizard registration exam with excellent grades in her second year of university, she was still worrying about her future while clinging to "Peering into the Fog of History." Even when her cousins were becoming adults and dispersing to various corners of the wizarding world, dutifully performing their duties as "Recorders," she was still lingering on campus.

Luckily, her affluent family condition gave her a helping hand.

Under arrangements from the stern old man at home, she entered the Supreme Magic Institute’s Divination Institute. She began the most tedious historical research work under the tutelage of the great scholar Qian Zhiji.

The job required wizards to use magic to trace realities in history and record the results. This includes everything from how historical figures ate, dressed, lived, and used items, to their conversations, etiquette, dealings, and social interactions. All of it must be recorded in detail for use in the divinations of the great scholars.

Finally, she had something in which she could excel.

Under Professor Qian’s guidance, Sima Yangyun spent three years publishing multiple historical research papers as the first author in the high-impact history journal "Peering into the Fog of History," representing many late bloomers in wizarding families.

Although she was only twenty-eight years old that year.

When a journalist from "Beta Town Post" inquired about her secret to success, the elegant woman pushed her long hair away from her ear, smiled lightly, and said:

"Nothing more than practice makes perfect."

Because she had a proficient grasp of ’research-type’ magic and solid historical foundation, at the invitation of the Dean of Jiu You College, Sima Yangyun began her post as a lecturer for Modern World History.

This year marked her second year of teaching.

For Sima Yangyun, becoming a lecturer means a new challenge: she must strive to break her current mold and achieve greater results to uphold the family’s honor.

For the hormonally charged young wizards, it simply means having a charmingly attractive woman instead of a dull old man teaching History.

At the Magic Institutes, attractive teachers were always in short supply.

Consequently, the number of students choosing History at Jiuyou Academy exploded. In her class, both student participation in various discussions and discipline were particularly outstanding.

Sima Yangyun became accustomed to that.

So much so that today, when standing outside the classroom and overhearing the room’s noisy chatter, she thought she had the wrong room.

A group of boys gathered at the back of the classroom, discussing something passionately and intensely. Even the girls were whispering, ears pressed together, occasionally turning around to look at the back of the classroom.

She found it very surprising.

Usually, when she walked into the classroom, the students would always sit neatly in their places with textbooks spread out, notepads, and pens ready.

But now, it seemed as if only a few people noticed the arrival of the history lecturer.

Sima Yangyun couldn’t help but turn around to look at the white paper on the back of the door.

Then she couldn’t help but smile.

A thick layer of chalk dust adhered to the surface of the white paper, covering the simple stick figure underneath.

Sima Yangyun reached out and brushed away the chalk dust.

The stick figure shook its head crazily, making its lines clearer.

Of course, it didn’t forget its duty.

"Teacher’s...here!"

The stick figure on the white paper at the back of the door shouted at the top of his lungs.

The noise in the classroom quieted for a moment, and only then did the students realize that their history lecturer was standing at the door.

Sima Yangyun tilted her head, gave the students a light smile, raised her hand, and waved, greeting everyone.

The sound of desks and chairs banging suddenly rang out.

A moment later, Sima Yangyun stood at the lectern, facing the dense crowd of freshmen, and began the third history lecture of the semester.

"At the end of the last class, I asked each of you to prepare a question about history. Now you’ll discuss them together and find answers."

Though Sima Yangyun’s voice was not loud, it was clear and pleasant:

"Are you ready with your questions?"

"We’re ready!" came the orderly response from the students.

The male students, in particular, shouted especially forcefully.

Sima Yangyun’s eyes were filled with gentle amusement as she lowered her head and opened her lecture notes.

"The essence of history is inheritance."

"Humans have accumulated many experiences in the long process of evolution. Some are etched into our bloodlines and passed down through reproduction, while others must be remembered through history, so their sacrifices are not in vain."

"Completes have their history, demons have their history, and the millions of creatures in the world, as long as they have cognitive abilities, understand the importance of recording history and passing down wisdom."

"But these histories have their own unique characteristics."

"The history of demons is a history of carnage, a darkness pieced together through their sacrifices to the unknown master."

"Completes are limited by their talents and can only fumble through the past with a few written words. Their history is a concept produced through the interconnection of time, space, and events. History must be objective. But complete’s words have never been an objective medium."

"Wizards are different."

"Wizards can feel the awe that life brings to us in the process of evolution."

"In the eyes of the wizards, everyone will gain their own understanding of the same period of history, which will profoundly affect your magic power."

"A second of history can move you, a hundred years of history will weigh heavily on you, and ten thousand years of history will make you feel awe."

"After the awe, you’ll discover where the real charm of magic lies."
