As soon as the video was opened, a dense stream of chat messages flew across the screen. After hesitating for a while, Gui Bin chose not to close the pop-ups.
In a site with pop-up messages, closing the pop-ups would decrease the fun.
“66666, even magic can be learned online now.”
“The era of everyone breathing fire and water is coming. This will be a milestone in the history of the world.”
“Guy in front, is that real magic and not just special effects?”
“OOOOOO, coach I don’t want to learn magic, I want to cultivate immortality!”
Cultivating immortality is simple. Don’t sleep for seventy-two consecutive hours. Do that and you’ll ascend to immortality!”
“This is the era of the internet. It seems that even the mystical world is moving with the times and knows how to share knowledge instead of sweeping it away.”
“……”
All kinds of strange pop-ups filled the screen, but the people inside the room pretended not to see them, so even Gui Bin ignored them and returned to his seat to watch the video lecture.
Whether it was the elderly politicians or the business executives, everyone had silently pulled out writing materials to take notes.
Gui Bin looked at everyone indifferently and want to laugh. The business elites who were always on the covers of business magazines, the professors with high prestige in universities, and the sports stars who were always on TV were all sitting upright like elementary school students, ready to learn.
The screen continued showing a magical scene. The dark tower felt ancient and profound but also had exquisite details. Looking up from the classroom, the ceiling seemed open and the night sky was clearly visible. Countless candles were lit in the classroom, creating an endlessly mysterious atmosphere.
“This scene is 100% legit. Hollywood movies could never do this!”
“This deep atmosphere… holy shit, is this really a video about teaching magic?! I thought it was going to be a joke video!”
“Stop spouting nonsense, prepare to take notes, the teacher is coming!”
Theft is never good, try looking at shorturl.at/mCEOX.
“High energy ahead!!!”
“All rise, good day teacher!”
“Good day teacher!”
“Good day teacher!”
“……”
In line with the pop-ups, a bearded white-haired old man mounted the podium. He wore a floor-length pitch-black robe. There were countless mysterious shimmering magic runes embroidered onto the robe. On his right hand was a powerful-looking long staff that was as tall as him.
“This outfit looks filthy. It’s obviously just a cheap product.”
“Holy hell, everyone should pay attention. That the old man is floating! This is too pretentious.”
“What about strings? Where are the strings? Let’s look for the strings hanging from his shoulder.”
“Tch, so it’s a black-robed mage. I thought it was a white robe.”
“How do mages earn points? Waiting online, urgent request.”
“Seeing this thick and long staff, I believe that he is a qualified mage. Only such a thick and long staff could knock people to death. In Harry Potter, those tiny wands count as farts. If you encounter a giant, it would only serve as a toothpick!”
“Don’t say nonsense. This is a real wizard. Did you forget the mages that appeared in Buckingham Palace? This old man was among them. Everyone should take notes.”
“……”
Ignoring the pop-ups, Gui Bin, at this time, duly stood up to introduce the old man, “This old man introduced himself as Marches. He previously appeared in Buckingham Palace. According to his own account, he is someone from the Victorian period, so he’s probably around ninety to a hundred and twenty years old.”
“According to our sources, this mage is a member of the Order of Merlin and is also the president and chief mage. This means that he should be the strongest in the group of mages.”
“However, according to the discussion of experts from various countries around the world, we have roughly ranked the people who have appeared in this world who have mastered supernatural powers.”
The strongest is naturally Christ who sent the great red dragon back to hell again and the Torch Dragon who was summoned by the alchemist in Tokyo. Those existences could be fully called ‘gods’.
“Second has the Chinese alchemist. The Catholic Church once revealed the news that they had asked Christ about this, who informed them that he should be called an angel. An angel should be a warrior under the seat of god, so they should be the strongest ones after the gods.”
“The Tuatha De Dannan named Connacht Rhys also falls under the second rank. Their community is not a group of true gods, but perhaps some of them were true gods while the other members were only equivalent to angels.”
“The last rank at the moment was the School of Magic that recruited students. By all accounts, these magicians might possess mystic powers and might even be better in some aspects compared to modern technology. Nonetheless, in the face of the Tuatha De Dannan, they still had to grovel, indicating that there is a huge gap between the two.”
“The predecessor of these mages were druids, who were bridges between humans and gods, and this god was not a true god, but a divine race like the angels.”
“Perhaps the founder of this order, the great mage Merlin who appeared in the legend of King Arthur could rival the existence of the Tuatha De Dannan, but he should most likely be only at the second level and not yet a god-level existence. However, we can make contact with these individual mages.”
“As for the gods and angels, they are already beings above humans. Our technological weapons are like toys to them. With this huge difference in status, we dare not have the same kind of communication with them.”
Gui Bin stood in front of many elites and spoke eloquently. The contents were a simple mode of classification made by experts of all countries around the world using many ancient texts. Although they knew that this was not an absolute classification, this simple division into three classes made a lot of things understandable.
“In the mysterious realm, class is also bound to exist. While class is divided by money and authority in our world, in the supernatural world class should be decided solely by pure power.”
The crowd unanimously agreed with Gui Bin’s words. After mastering the power that could turn the clouds into stars, money and authority were simply ridiculous. Those were things that the strong will inevitably have and were innate to them.
With immortal power, holding the sun and moon, picking the stars and turning them into chess pieces, and turning space into their battlefield, things beyond the limits of human imagination could easily be accomplished.
Now that Earth’s supernatural beings were divided into three categories, the top should be the rulers of the universe who are completely beyond the limit of human imagination. They have even reached the point of a completely unscientific true god.
The second rank was able to slaughter cities and destroy countries with just the power of a single person. They could easily turn the world upside down and modern weapons would not be able to do anything about them.
The last were those who grasped supernatural powers but were not strong enough to affect the functions of society. Human technology and weapons could fully cope against them.
Unfortunately, the strength shown by Earth’s technological civilization was only at the last level.
