Chapter 448 The True Meaning of Divination
Without a doubt, this was Yang Tian's first time attending Professor Trelawney's class, and also his first time meeting Professor Trelawney. How should I put it? It was consistent with the original book, but it was this venting roar that made Yang Tian feel that the professor was somewhat real. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it...
But Professor Trelawney continued as if she had no scruples: "I can feel your divination magnetic field, child, believe me, you have the potential to become a prophet. I know... I know you may not care about this. There are many shining points in you. A seemingly insignificant title means nothing to you. But have you ever thought about it? When you encounter a major decision, a foresight can save many people and many things."
Professor Trelawney's words were like a hammer, hitting Yang Tian's heart hard, but he soon came to his senses.
"Professor, I understand what you mean, but this kind of prediction seems to have its limits." Yang Tian paused, looked at the person in front of him seriously, and said, "For example, I failed when I used the crystal ball for the first time just now. It was only after I changed the question that I succeeded. In other words, predictions are not omnipotent and can be obscured; of course, they can also be easily changed, and the future is inherently uncertain."
Hearing this, Professor Trelawney was not disappointed, but showed a happy expression. She clapped her hands and praised, "Very good, child. The fact that you can think this way just proves that you have extremely high talent and keen insight. The future is indeed full of uncertainty, and divination only shows the greatest possibility... At the same time, if you want to change the future, you just need to have a strong power of change and nodes that are closely related to the event; the combined power must be far greater than the inertia of history... As for the failure you mentioned, it is even more interesting. This actually shows that there are experts in divination among your opponents... He successfully cut off the 'line' you imposed on certain things..."
Yang Tian frowned and asked in confusion: "Isn't it because the other party is an awakened one? Professor Sinistra once told me that divination cannot predict the fate of another awakened one."
“Hahaha…” At this time, Professor Trelawney laughed heartily, and even tears almost came out of her eyes. “All astronomers are like this. They are obviously in decline, but they are still high and mighty, looking down on others… The Awakeners are indeed in decline, but their number is not small, especially in the past era, when prophets had a lofty status. But if, as you said, as long as they are Awakeners, they have the ability to conceal divination, then the prophets should be unemployed. Remember, child, the Awakeners have the ability to ‘passively’ conceal divination, but that is not absolute. Divination is originally a game of games, just like unlocking a password, it requires progressive steps to unveil the mysterious veil…”
Professor Trelawney had opened her mouth and couldn't stop talking... But when she was about to continue her speech, she found that the little wizards around her were looking at her and Yang Tian with doubtful eyes. Finally, she realized that she had lost her composure. Without any preparation, she slammed on the brakes: "Okay, okay, let's continue the class... As for our business, Yang Tian, we will talk privately after class."
This time, Yang Tian did not refuse like he did before. He nodded slightly and sat back at the table.
In the following time, Professor Trelawney began to answer the questions raised by the students one by one. Compared with before, her attitude seemed to have changed a little. She was no longer so deliberately mysterious, but more sincere...
Finally, after checking the time again, Professor Trelawney said in a vague voice: "I think today's class will end here... Please pack your things..."
The young wizards returned the teacups to the professor silently, packed up their books, and left quickly...
When she and Yang Tian were the only ones left in the room, Trelawney finally got straight to the point and said sincerely: "How about, little one, learning divination with me? Although I can't predict the fate of the awakened, I know how to let you do it... No one is more suitable to be your teacher than me. You have excellent talent, but you only lack complicated divination methods and logic. But if we only talk about these, then it must be the Trelawney family, which is famous for its family of prophets. I am your best choice..." Her eyes were shining with expectation and enthusiasm, and her voice was full of temptation.
Yang Tian was also thinking a lot at this time. Originally, he had no feelings for prophets. After all, Professor Sinistra's words had left a deep impression on him. However, today, he seemed to see a different world.
After pondering for a long time, he finally made up his mind and said solemnly: "Professor Trelawney, I am willing to learn divination from you... But please understand that I will not devote all my energy to divination. As for the nature and connection between divination and astronomy, I will explore the truth in my own way."
“Of course, kid. From today on, I will be your teacher!” Trelawney seemed extremely excited after hearing Yang Tian’s response: “Look here, these are our family’s introductory books and notes on divination. You must read them by heart first.” As she spoke, she actually brought out thousands of heavy books in one breath…
Looking at the pile of books in front of him, Yang Tian couldn't help but be stunned. It was only the introductory stage, and he had to face such a huge amount of information. Was divination so cruel?
Professor Trelawney seemed to have noticed Yang Tian's reaction, and she said smugly, "Humph, don't think I don't know what those astronomy experts do. Isn't it just collecting books? Is there anyone who has a richer collection of divination books than our Trelawney family? Well, it's almost time for lunch. If you're late, you'll be hungry... Remember, I'll teach you divination every Thursday night, so spare some time."
Hearing this, Yang Tian nodded and bowed deeply, then he rode on the somersault cloud and left the classroom quickly. But he still remembered that Hermione was still waiting for him.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Tian walked out of the classroom, Hermione rushed over and grabbed his arm: "Let's go, the next one is the Arithmancy class. Compared with that unreliable Divination class, I am more optimistic about this course." As she said that, she turned the time converter in reverse...
