The male invigilator's name was Louie, and he was stunned and didn't dare to reply.

The person in front of him is the three-ring mage in charge of the mock exam this time, named Rupert, who has worked hard in the Torondo Magic Association for thirty-seven years and is quite famous.

At the same time, Rupert is also known for his severity, and during his years as an inspection teacher, Rupert has found at least hundreds of unlucky people who tried to cheat, and his resoluteness is quite awe-inspiring even for his colleagues.

The so-called inspection teacher is the supervision of the examination room during the examination, and at the same time, the inspection teacher will also supervise the invigilator, because in the past, there have been vicious incidents of students cheating with the invigilator, so the authority of the inspection teacher is much larger than that of the general invigilator, so it is more deterrent for Rupert to take responsibility.

"Mr. Rupert, the exam has just ended, and we need to pack up the papers."

The female invigilator's name was Remia, and she was a little bolder and reminded Rupert.

"It's okay, you guys continue to sort out the test papers, I'll look for Reiner. Ian Gray. ”

Rupert came to the podium, picked up the seating chart in the exam room, and soon found Reiner's seat.

The students couldn't help but whisper, no one knew what Rupert was looking for Reiner for, but according to rumors, all the exams that Rupert was looking for basically didn't end well.

"Did this guy cheat?"

James, who was in the same examination room, secretly thought that he couldn't help but be a little sad and wanted to see Reiner's ugly picture.

Dana watched with some concern as Rupert walked towards Reiner, she didn't know the old mage, but the legends she had heard before made her feel a big rock hanging over her heart.

Reiner looked directly at Rupert who was walking slowly, he himself did not violate the rules of the exam, and naturally he was not afraid.

Rupert walked over to Reiner's table and cleared his throat before asking.

"You're Reiner of Crescent Academy. Ian Gray? ”

"Yes, I am."

Reiner and Rupert looked at each other.

The air in the examination room was silent for a moment, and Rupert continued.

"Come with me."

Reiner didn't say much, he stood up and followed Rupert out of the classroom, giving Dana a wink before leaving the door so she didn't have to worry too much.

With the exam just over, the exam rooms still sorting out and checking the papers, and the hallways empty, Reiner retrieved his storage bag, secretly put on the ring transformed from the Hohenheim Gold Cup, and followed Rupert to an office on the fourth floor.

"What's the matter?"

Reiner asked, and he saw Rupert close the door softly, and after a long sigh of relief, he took a stack of parchment from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Reiner.

"What is this?"

Reiner took the parchment and found that it was densely covered with many words, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was a paper.

"This is the paper?"

Seeing Rupert's name, which was signed by the paper, Reiner was even more puzzled.

At this moment, Rupert suddenly leaned over and said in a completely different tone than before.

"Mr. Ian Gray, that's right, this is one of my papers, and it hasn't been submitted for review yet, and I'm wondering if you can help me correct the omissions......

"Huh?"

Shouldn't there be some plot here where people who are unhappy with Reiner collude with the examiner to frame themselves?

Reiner was a little stunned, and only when he saw Rupert's sincere and eager eyes did he squeeze out a smile and look back at the paper.

"Mr. Ian Gray, you sit here."

Rupertra opened the chair, sat Reiner down, and poured another cup of tea.

"I have been stuck in the Third Ring for many years, and I have given up hope of promotion, but recently I read your paper Mr. Ian Gray, and several inspirations have ......"

He explained, like a lonely old man who hadn't confided in anyone for a long time.

"I'm usually used to being serious in front of those juniors, so I can't pull my face, so I can only invite you to come over and help me review the paper."

It turned out to be an old man who loved face.

Reiner smiled, and quickly finished reading Rupert's paper.

The content of the paper is not complicated, but perhaps Rupert has not been exposed to cutting-edge academic theories for many years, or perhaps he is indeed lacking in talent, and many of the assumptions and reasoning processes of this paper have many loopholes, which is really not a qualified paper, and even if it is revised, Reiner feels that the possibility of passing the review is not high.

The paper is a first draft, and there are many traces of revision, and it can be seen that this is a paper that Rupert spent a lot of time writing, but these painstaking efforts cannot erase the flaws in the content of the paper.

It was only at this point that Reiner realized that it was not an easy task to get feedback and promotion by exploring the world, and if it weren't for Reiner's knowledge from Earth and certain experimental conditions, it would be difficult to achieve what he is today.

This world pays more attention to individual talents than the earth, and the gap between the gifted and the mediocre is not something that can be easily caught up with hard work.

Like Rupert, there are many mages who achieved something when they were young, but they couldn't break through because they fell into a bottleneck, and these people are what ordinary people in this world look like.

The hard work of mortals may not be able to defeat the whim of genius.

"Mr. Rupert, your paper ......"

Reiner thought about it for a moment, but finally decided to tell Rupert the truth.

He patiently explained the omission of the paper, and Rupert listened to it, and his face became worse and worse.

Finally, after Reiner finished explaining his thesis, Rupert sat down in another chair and was speechless for a long time.

"Hehe, it seems that I may not be able to advance to the middle level for the rest of my life."

Rupert smiled, and to Reiner, it wasn't a smile of despair, but rather a feeling of relief.

"Thank you, Mr. Ian Gray, in fact, I have given up a long time ago, as a mage, I am at the same level, I just want to fight hard in the end, so that my life can be regarded as no regrets."

He stood up and saluted Reiner again.

"I'm sorry for delaying you."

Rupert opened the door and motioned for Reiner to leave as he pleased.

Reiner nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Rupert before leaving the door.

"Mr. Rupert, I think that the value of a person is not only reflected by the level of magic, the decades you have worked here are not meaningless, this is an achievement that you can boast about, you are a mage worthy of respect."

With that, Reiner saluted and left.

When Rupert heard this, he froze in place for a long time before he let out a long sigh.
