Chapter 31 Janna is with you
The content of students' discussions would evolve into what it is today, and even gradually become a science fiction exchange conference. This was something that Victor, the main speaker and host, had not expected.
But he is now certain of:
Compared with what and why, how is indeed a hundred times more difficult question.
After all, this world is what it is, and there is no dispute at all.
The method of understanding the world introduced in the article is itself a scientific theory that can withstand questioning and testing, so there is no disagreement on the question of "why".
But after understanding the world and knowing the what and why, we will run into big trouble when it comes to the question of "how to do it".
To change or not to change?
In what way?
What will it be changed to?
Who needs to be united and who needs to be overthrown?
To what extent will it be overthrown?
Just change Zaun, or the whole world?
…
The problems are too big and the differences are too numerous.
Victor had just thrown this question to everyone when it caused an uproar.
The students naturally split into different factions, each holding their own opinions and refusing to give in. They went from discussion to debate, from debate to swearing at each other...they were almost fighting each other.
This question is too big and there is no standard answer.
Victor himself didn't know what the correct answer was, so he had to let the students discuss freely.
As a result, the direction of the discussion became more and more outrageous, and the solutions proposed became more and more imaginative... After all, this is a world where supernatural powers exist, and some things are not groundless.
But then again, for some reason, Victor was inexplicably interested in the plan of "turning humans into robots."
If I use a Hextech core to fuse the brain, maybe it will work. I just don't know if the human body can withstand this kind of evolution...
"Ahem..." Victor used reason to dispel his crazy scientific fantasy.
He didn't know what to do now.
He needs someone who can point out the most feasible path for him and these students, help everyone unify their thoughts and see the future clearly.
Otherwise, if this continues... the quarreling alone would be enough to tear these enthusiastic students apart.
Like now:
"What does it mean to focus on scientists' work and improve productivity... and intelligent robots and unlimited hextech energy... If technology really develops to that point, all the people of Zaun would have died long ago!"
"Fuck you! Isn't your proposal even more unreliable?!"
"Armed struggle? Don't you have any idea how many Zaun people the law enforcers killed on the Sungate Bridge ten years ago?"
"I think you are a spy sent by Piltover to lure everyone to their deaths!"
"...Fuck you! It's better to die than to lie down and do nothing! I think you just want to use the name of 'developing productivity' to continue to be a scientist in Piltover and be your master of Piltover!"
“…”
As the argument went on, they had evolved from discussing the plan to swearing at each other in Zuan dialect, and even expelling each other from their ancestral home.
Victor knew that if this continued, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
But who can suggest the most feasible path?
Who has this ability?
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say!"
Suddenly, the classroom door was opened.
A young man in plain work clothes walked in.
He had a wound on his face, a bluebird was standing on his shoulder, and a delicate pink-haired lady ?
"Who are you?" Everyone was curious.
"Brother!" Lina called out his identity.
"Brother, why are you here?" Looking at Levi and Seraphine beside him, she was full of questions.
But now didn't seem to be the time to answer her question, because everyone present was concerned about another thing:
"Levi?"
"Are you Lina's brother and the author of this article?"
"Yes." Levi took the initiative to stand in the middle of the sight.
"Are you Mr. Levi?!" Victor walked down the podium quickly, leaning on his cane.
With a desire for knowledge and a respectful attitude, he solemnly extended his hand to Levi:
"Hello, I'm Victor, a professor at Hextech College—"
"Of course, I am also a loyal reader of your article."
"Victor?" Levi was slightly surprised:
It turned out to be him. Three hands that said “Hey hey hey” every day popped up in his mind…
"Ahem..." No wonder Janna said his mental strength was extraordinary.
"Hello, Professor Victor." Levi straightened his expression and extended his hand solemnly.
When the two hands were about to hold together, under the attention of the whole audience, Levi added in a serious tone as if he was leading Victor into some sacred realm:
"Welcome, my friend!"
As he spoke, Levi shook Victor's hand.
At this moment, through the two people's clasped hands, the invisible power of faith was transmitted into Levi's body in a more efficient way.
The power of their faith resonated, allowing him to temporarily gain more powerful strength.
The bluebird on his shoulder flapped its wings slightly, and then a breeze appeared out of nowhere, blowing around the two of them.
The wind was so weak that it could only blow up a few sheets of manuscript paper.
But it was obviously not the wind that formed naturally in this classroom.
"Is this... magic?"
Victor was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
Magic is not something rare in Runeland. This little bit of wind won't scare anyone.
but……
"Brother!" Lina shouted in shock: "When did you become a mage?"
"No." Levi shook his head: "I have never been a mage."
"What about you?"
"This is just the power Goddess Janna gave me."
"Janna?" Victor was finally surprised, and so were the students present: "Wait... the goddess Janna mentioned at the beginning of your article actually exists?"
"That soul that has been wandering in Runeland for thousands of years, it turns out that it is not just a writing technique of yours?"
"Huh?" Janna was slightly shocked.
She was shocked to find that under this new belief system, believers did not even have to believe in her existence to become her "believers."
So is she a god now, or is she also... a follower of this great faith?
Janna was a little confused.
Levi didn't have time to discuss this issue with her for the time being. He just faced the gazes of everyone present and solemnly announced to everyone:
"Yes, Janna is real!"
"The reason why I can understand those ideas is all due to the enlightenment of Goddess Janna. Otherwise, how could I, a barely literate Zaun apprentice, write such an article--"
"You can ask Lina about this. She should know that just the day before yesterday, I was still a confused and semi-illiterate person."
This statement again caused surprise, and of course, some doubt.
Levi tried his best to blow up such a breeze, and openly publicized his miracle of turning from an illiterate into a wise man overnight... These practices are actually no different from the methods used by those charlatans.
It’s just that the god he pretended to be was real, not fake.
And Levi had to do the same.
From the discussions just now, he had heard many voices of compromise, concession, and improvement, and even the idea of giving up hope in the real struggle and relying solely on fantasies of science and magic to solve the problem.
At first, Levi thought that the students had too rich imaginations and too big ideas.
But if you think about it carefully, the fundamental reason behind this phenomenon is that these students are afraid.
Yes, although they are full of enthusiasm, they are essentially afraid of struggle, dread struggle, and are very pessimistic about the outcome of the struggle.
They don't believe that they can change the world through their hands.
Therefore, we must have mechanical ascension, psychic ascension, technological leap forward...all kinds of crazy ideas that seem to have some potential in Runeterra but are extremely difficult to achieve in the short term , in order to answer their questions.
This is not the fault of these Zaun students.
The enemy's power is too strong.
The Zaun people have resisted in the past 200 years, but every time they resisted, they were only slaughtered mercilessly. The law enforcement officers of Piltover never showed mercy, and every time they killed people, corpses were scattered all over the ground and blood flowed like a river.
They were already afraid of being killed.
So Levi must show his extraordinaryness.
He must convince these students that they are powerful and have hope.
They need to know that Janna is real. And Janna...
"Goddess Janna——"
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, Levi slowly walked up to the podium:
"Always stand on the side of the suffering!"
