"Sirius was once a brilliant mage, but he went astray, obsessed with mathematics that didn't make any money, and in his fourth year of school, he still didn't submit a dissertation that could pass in any academic journal, and he left school."

Vice Principal Puerdo, looking at Reiner with some sighs.

"In the mage world, there are too many examples of this, and every year many young mages show their potential, but in the end, very few can be promoted to the middle rank."

"So, Siris's paper is about mathematics?"

Reiner heard what Vice Principal Puerdo's words meant, but he didn't care, but asked persistently.

"Yes, I can't remember the specific content of that paper, after all, ten years have passed, I only know that it is a paper on mathematics, although the proof process is very complete, but the final result is too ridiculous, I didn't pay attention to it."

Vice-Chancellor Puerdo's over the years has led hundreds of students and reviewed thousands of papers, so it is naturally impossible to remember the specific content of Siris's papers, which he has only read once.

"Actually, I saw Mr. Siris's thesis cited in one of my graduation theses, but unfortunately, in the archives of your university, that paper entered the archives because it was a monetary transaction, and it has been cleared and destroyed a few years ago."

"Money deals?"

Vice Principal Pudoldo frowned slightly.

"I also know about the clean-up of the archives a few years ago, but Mr. Ian Gray, you mean, that Siris paid for the school's archives to include his own papers? This was a bit more than I expected. ”

"Why?"

Reiner asked, what he was saying about Siris. Oldman's interest was already greater than his dissertation, and although there was some vague speculation about the content of Cialis's research, Reiner wondered why Cialis had fallen from being a brilliant genius in Portoldo's mouth to not even being able to graduate, and what was going on.

"Well, Cialis is a very upright and stubborn guy, and he won't change what he believes, and it stands to reason that he will definitely not do this kind of behavior of spending money through the back door."

Vice Principal Podoldo said that it was precisely because of Ciris's quality that he was relieved to hand over his daughter to the other party, but unfortunately, the two young people eventually parted ways.

"He's not so much a mage as a scholar, and if he lives in a world without magic, he'd probably be a scholar of knowledge, and he'll spend his whole life exploring, money, fame, these things don't matter to him, so I think it's a little strange that he's paying for the archives to include his papers."

Of course, Vice Principal Bodoldo can't deny that when Siris fell into that wrong path, his personality has also changed a lot, if originally, Cirith was still a persistent and serious mage, then many of his behaviors after that seemed a little paranoid, including Vice Principal Bodoldo's kind persuasion of Siris to switch to the elemental system to quickly improve his magical strength was quickly rejected by Ciris, which is one of the reasons why Bodoldo was disappointed in him.

Therefore, it is not entirely incomprehensible that Siris was spending money to try to preserve his papers in the school archives at that time.

"This aside, Mr. Ian Gray, do you think that Ciris's paper is really useful, it seems to me that it is a paper full of delusions and absurdities, trying to prove that there is no such thing as this world, and it is a pity that the process is so perfect."

Vice Chancellor Puerdo's sigh that Reiner's visit reminded him of bad memories.

"Whether there is practical value or not, you may need to find this paper to decide."

Reiner said, but then added.

"But Vice President Puerdo, I don't think practical value is the only criterion for judging whether a theory is good or not."

His words made the vice principal of Puerdodo frown slightly, as if he saw the figure of Siris who was arguing with reason that day.

"You are really similar to him, they are both the same young and promising, the same talented, and their views on the world are also the same pure and straightforward."

Vice Principal Puerdo wanted to say something, but finally sighed and said in such a low voice.

"Vice-Chancellor Puerdo, I would like to know, Siris. Where is Oldman now, the information in the student registration office shows that his whereabouts are unknown, and the staff told me that I can ask Siris's tutor, you should be clear. ”

Reiner didn't say much about Vice Principal Portoldo's assessment, he asked, looking into the old man's eyes.

But Vice Principal Pudoldo shook his head.

"I don't know, Mr. Ian Gray."

He took a sip of the black tea on the table, and then said.

"Ciris disappeared after he left school, and he hasn't been in touch with me for 10 years."

Perhaps, to some extent, Vice Principal Puertoledo thought that he was ashamed of Siris, and he failed to pull him out of the quagmire, so after the other party left the school, he also subconsciously did not inquire about Siris's whereabouts, and gradually, buried it in the corner of memory, until today, it was rediscovered by Reiner.

"I guess he may have found a place to continue his research, because if he would have given up, he would have given up a long time ago."

Thinking of something, Vice Principal Puerdodo sighed.

"So, Vice Principal Podoldo, do you know anyone who knows the whereabouts of Ciris?"

Reiner asked, since Siris had been in school for four years, there must have been some classmates and friends who might know his whereabouts.

"Well...... this"

The vice-principal of Puerdodo thought for a moment, and seemed to have a clue, but after a moment's hesitation, he fell silent again.

It was a moment before he spoke.

"Siris doesn't have any friends, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his classmates, and the only one who may have some connection is probably Percival."

"Director Percival?"

Reiner leaned forward, a little surprised at the coincidence of events.

"Yes, Percival used to be my student too, and he entered the academy in the same group as Siris, but Percival didn't rise until Siris dimmed."

When Vice Principal Puerdo mentioned his son-in-law, his voice was noticeably brighter.

"The two men had some communication while they were studying under me, and perhaps he knew it, but I had never heard Percival mention of Siris in all these years."

"Is that so......"

Reiner bowed slightly, but his heart was even more confused.
