"Humans and animals have a significant difference in brain size, the size of the human brain is 2 percent of its body weight. As for the animals themselves smaller than that, then does the size of this brain affect the intelligence of living things?"
A teacher of our second lesson, who taught the biology and anatomy of the body of living things asked that question, after he explained a little about the difference in the size of the human and animal brains. Today is my third day at Magic Academy. The teacher who taught was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair, dark circles around his eyes. The teacher who taught us was named Rizky Abdijaya.
We know that question is not answered. So we kept quiet, letting the teacher answer his own question.
"Unfortunately, the size of the brain does not affect the intelligence of living things. Whale brains are much larger than humans, but they are no smarter than humans. Even honeybees still show little intelligence even though their brains are very small.
Analogy like this, once a computer storage device is larger than today, but the large size is only able to store data as large as megabite only, while computer memory is now only a millimeter in size, capable of storing data up to millions or even tens of millions of megabites. This indicates that size is not an indication of data storage on a device, as is the case with the brain. Size is not an indication of the intelligence of living things."
"Why then can man develop intelligence that far exceeds that of any other living thing? The answer is uncertain, there are many theories about it. We'll discuss one of those theories. This theory deals with Biocultural Reproduction."
Teacher Rizky Abdijaya explained at length about one of the theories he studied, the explanation was not too long, only the time of the second lesson was a little, but the time of the second lesson was a little, so that teacher Rizky can only discuss one theory only. When he was about to explain another theory, the lesson time was up.
Kriein!
The sound of the lesson bell ending rang, teacher Rizky immediately tidied up his belongings and then say goodbye to us.
"We'll connect at the next meeting. And also, after this you have no special lessons, the third lesson time on this day is devoted to self-study students." He said, before he finally lifted all his belongings off the table, after which he walked out of class.
"Haaahs... Fortunately, we are not learning continuously today." Said Dani resting her back on the back of the chair.
"You didn't hear what Mr Rizky said? We were instructed to become independent today." Said Alexandria to Dani who had begun to laze.
"Come on... Don't take it too seriously. We also need to rest to know."
"We can rest on the weekend, right?"
"In a week's time, we go to school five days ago and are given only two days' rest, even if there is no homework."
"From you guys arguing, you better come with the three of us." When Dani and Alexandria want to argue a longer debate, Natasha comes to mediate their debate, by inviting them both.
While on the bus, I discussed this to both of them. Actually I want to do this thing we want to do at break time, but who would have thought that we were given special lesson hours for self-study like this.
"What are you guys gonna do?" Ask Dani.
The answer to Dani's question was not Natasha, but Alexandria, who also heard my plan on the bus this morning.
"Especially if it wasn't helping Raihan." Thas right. Today I plan to help Raihan overcome his magic problem.
There was one question left unanswered in the book we read yesterday. That is about the form of transformation Raihan different from usual during the game against Android. I almost forgot about the problem. After all the reason we searched the library for information to solve the mystery, looking for answers to the reason Raihan lost control was just additional information.
But in fact we got answers to our other questions.
Before the lesson began, Natasha had already discussed this matter to Raihan, unfortunately this morning we did not have time to tell this to Dani.
Dani, who was originally intending to help her best friend, agreed to our invitation. We all went out of the classroom to the field behind the school building.
***
We could not use the field behind the school without permission from the teacher, therefore we split into two groups, he said, one group waited in the field and another went to the teacher's office to ask permission from the teacher.
For the teacher's own office to be on the first floor, it was according to the floor plan we got when we first entered this academy. But apparently there are some teachers who are special in teaching first-class students, who do not want to bother going down from the first floor of the third floor, which is not, using this special room on the third floor to create a special teacher room that teaches first-class children.
As we walked through the complex third-floor corridor, I was able to pass through several rooms, which seemed to be classrooms. I knew it because as Natasha and I passed through the room, we could hear the voice of an adult explaining a topic, for this reason I was able to second-guess the use of the room we were passing through, although the door of the room was closed, we could not confirm the inside of the room.
"It seems that only we get a special clock like this." I said as I walked through a room, which sounded from inside was someone talking like they were explaining something.
"Maybe this is a special right that we receive as the highest scorer during the entrance exam." Natasha said revealing her speculation.
"Maybe..."
Continuing to walk through the corridor, we finally reached the front of the room, which was above the doorway that read "teacher's room."
"We're up." I said, before knocking on the door a few times.
"Please come in." A woman's voice came from inside.
I held the doorknob, turned it around, then pushed the door slowly while saying. "Excuse me." When I opened the door, the whole room was revealed. This room is filled with tables with a distance of each table with another table of ten centimeters, there are some adults who wear official clothes inside, and there are some, what is clear is that their answer is a teacher who is devoted to teaching first-class students.
A cool air hit us as we entered the room, looking up at the top of the room, there were some Air Conditioners attached.
"You guys... Why are you here?"
Natasha and I looked at the voice that asked. Not far from the entrance, there was a female teacher wearing glasses with short blue hair. She is our homeroom teacher, Yukina Kirisaki.
It was impolite to answer the teacher's question with our distance slightly far from him, me and Natasha walked slowly to not stutter the focus of all the teachers in this room. When Natasha and I arrived at the exact spell of teacher Yukina, I told her about my business coming to this teacher's office.
"We'd like to ask permission to use the grounds of the building behind the school."
"Huh...? Why do you want to use the field, don't you have a third lesson?" The one who asked was not teacher Yukina, but rather an old man sitting across from teacher Yukina's desk.
"They are my students sir" replied teacher Yukina representing us. "They're from class A."
"aaa... So they get the special right to self-study."
"That's how it is, even though I don't know why they want to use the back court."
"We want to use to practice magic ma'am," I said to teacher Yukina.
"Practicing magic?"
"Yes. Can I?"
"Hmmm... Actually you can't practice magic without supervision, but you've been granted special privileges by the principal, so there's no reason I'm banning kaian. Just sec... I'm getting the license ready."
I thank the headmaster in my heart for giving a class A kid this special right. Without his permission, it was clear we were not allowed to use the back court.
Teacher Yukina took a card in her desk drawer, signed it and placed a stamp just above her signature. After he finished doing all that, teacher Yukina gave us the card. "Don't lose it! If it's gone don't make me wrong if you're punished by the school's field manager."
"Good ma'am." Answer me and Natasha at the same time.
I picked up the card, then walked to the front door together with Natasha, we thanked her before exiting the teacher's room.
Natasha and I went after our three friends who should have been in the back yard of the school.
