Chapter 38: Hot Discussion on the Internet
On the Internet, the keywords ‘Magic’ and ‘Magic Academy’ had already rushed to the top of the trending searches on various platforms when Charlot started his speech!
Until now, the statistics of these two keywords had almost been dozens of times more popular than the third and fourth trending searches!
Everyone was crazily spamming the two words “Magic” in various chat groups and forums!
In an instant, the world followed Charlot and was immersed in the wave of magic!
Charlot’s speech was still continuing.
“Friends, I know you are all very excited right now! But as the dean of the Magic Academy and the origin of Magic, I have the obligation to give you a warning! Power has never been divided into good and evil! However, powerful power will often become nutrients for the good and evil! Gunpowder, when it first appeared, was only used by people to set off fireworks! But later, it made countless countries in the world experience the flames of War! Is gunpowder the wrong thing? No! The wrong thing is the people who use gunpowder!”
At this point, Charlot’s voice completely turned cold!
“I am the origin of magic, I am the person who pushed magic to the world! Therefore, I will also be responsible for the power of magic! From today onward, the legal punishment involved in magic crimes will be ten times or even twenty times more than other crimes! On this point, I don’t expect everyone to understand me! Because those who don’t understand me are those who want to use magic to cause trouble! Those are the people want to break the quiet lives of everyone else! Whether it’s me or the World Alliance, they will punish magic crimes severely!”
Charlot’s words were loud and clear.
Below the stage, whispers continued buzzing.
After a long while, a voice suddenly came from behind the stage!
“I support Dean Charlot! Magic can not become the power of some people who commit crimes! For such people, we must support Dean Charlot and the World Alliance in punishing them severely!”
Looking in the direction of the voice, he was so surprised that his eyes revealed a trace of gentleness.
It was Vera.
Vera, who was wearing a beige suit, was now filled with unquestionable determination!
It was as if even if the whole world was against Charlot, Vera would stand in front of him and fight against the whole world!
Below the stage, everyone was looking at the young girl who suddenly rushed out.
For a moment, the entire area was silent.
After a few seconds, a red-faced boy stood up and raised the banner that said, “Blue Star Academy of Magic, leading the future of the era!” He shouted loudly!
“That’s right! We support the Dean!”
“Support the Dean!”
“Support the Dean, we should punish magic crimes!”
With a leader, the entire venue was once again in an uproar!
Furthermore, almost all of them were “people who want to live a quiet life” as mentioned by Charlot!
One could not help but sympathize with his words!
Magic was a powerful and terrifying power!
If this power was allowed to expand on its own, if there was no restraint in the usage, then the ones who would be injured would only be everyone in the world!
This was something that everyone saw clearly in a short period of time!
As a result, the people were completely boiling!
At this moment, Charlot was like a god, leaving an indelible impression in the hearts of the people of the world!
On the Internet, in the forum, the discussion about whether magical crimes should be severely punished had already become extremely heated!
Countless people who supported Charlot expressed their opinions!
“Dean Charlot is right, magic crimes should be severely punished!”
“Only by severely punishing magic crimes can we protect everyone to the greatest extent!”
“Once the price of magic crimes is too low, the world will fall into ruin!”
“I support Dean Charlot with my real name!”
“Can you also purify the internet, the Internet is also an illegal place!”
Among these voices, there were naturally some people who did not agree with Charlot.
They believed that magic crimes should be treated the same as other crimes!
Otherwise, the fairness of the law would be violated!
“From a legal point of view, any crime should have a strict enforcement and supervision system. Otherwise, the law will become a decoration!”
“That’s right, even if it’s a magic crime, it shouldn’t be excluded from the existing law!”
“Otherwise, how can the law be fair?”
Although these voices were few, they had always been there.
The person who said these words might not have the mentality of using magic to wreak havoc, but really felt that the magic crime shouldn’t receive any ‘special treatment’.
However, there were also some who were purely bickering!
Obviously, there was no lack of bickering in any era!
On the podium, Charlot’s voice continued, “Perhaps there will be some people who feel that magic crimes should be treated the same as other crimes. What I want to say is that ten years later, twenty years later, this might be the case. But at the beginning of the magic era, magic crimes will definitely be isolated! No one else knows how terrifying and powerful it is! If all magic crimes cannot be strictly eliminated, then a single magic crime may take the lives of thousands of people!”
As Charlot spoke, her gaze swept across the entire scene.
Then, he suddenly rose into the air and floated in midair.
Without hesitation, he took out a magic scroll.
It was Ice and Storm, a beginner-level forbidden spell scroll.
Then, under the gaze of everyone and the media, he forcefully tore it apart!
Boom!
The Apocalypse!
The violent wind mixed with the blizzard!
The terrifying lightning and storm lingered in mid-air!
The terrifying power caused everyone’s expressions to change!
They stared at Charlot in mid-air and the terrifying storm that enveloped the sky. Suddenly, they heard explosions!
Boom!
Boom!
There were dark Clouds, lightning, snowstorm, ice spikes!
There were countless dangers that could kill people!
The ice storm circled above everyone’s heads!
Charlot’s hair fluttered in the wind and snow. His gaze was indifferent, and his expression was cold!
“Everyone!” He shouted loudly to everyone below!
“This is Magic! This is the reason why we must allow magic crimes to stand on their own! If this storm falls, everyone will die an unnatural death!”
On the ground, everyone’s faces turned pale!
They looked at the terrifying storm, and a sense of danger like a natural disaster erupted in everyone’s hearts!
Some of the cowardly students were even trembling with fear!
On the Internet, countless people were holding their breaths as they stared at the terrifying storm on the screen!
Even though they were separated by the screen, they seemed to be able to feel just how terrifying it was!
And this was only a magic storm in mid-air!
What if it landed?
What if it exploded in a city with millions of people?
Now, those who truly felt that magic crimes should not be treated differently fell into silent thought.
Those who had been arguing did not dare to come out and argue anymore!
The facts were so brutal that everything else seemed powerless!
