PS: There is a supplement today ~ ask for a monthly pass

Approaching the closing time of the Magic Council headquarters, Lucien arrives at the Wizard Management Department with a paper that has been revised according to the Storm Master's instructions.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Evans. Katrina, who was standing behind the reception desk, was pleasantly surprised to see Lucien appear.

She was tall, bright, well-built, and youthful, and had a strong attraction to many unmarried formal magicians, so that even if it was close to evening, there were several young men lingering in the hall of the Wizards' Management Department. Some of them pretended to be here to enjoy wine and leisure, and their every move was extremely elegant, some deliberately exchanged the latest arcane theories, and occasionally popped up words that ordinary people could not understand to show off their arcane and magical abilities, while others were more daring, simply taking the opportunity to ask Katrina and the girl beside her, causing the other magicians to look sideways and angry.

Hearing Katrina's distinctly joyful voice, they, along with the other girl in charge of the reception, turned their gaze to Lucien.

The handsome and quiet face, the neat and elegant clothes, and the beautiful and dreamy lilac gemstone ring on the right index finger instantly caught their eyes.

"Well, that's the Holm Crown Ring?Teacher Evans?Lucien?Evans?!" They quickly reacted, this person in front of them was one of the two most outstanding young magicians of the current generation, and it was rumored that he was already a fifth-level arcanist!

So many magicians stood up and saluted, and said respectfully, "Good afternoon, Mr. Evans." ”

At the same time, they are all speculating in their hearts about Lucien's relationship with Katrina, according to Katrina's name. The two of them should have some kind of master-apprenticeship, but it is certain that Katrina is not an official disciple of Lucien Evans, otherwise she should directly be honored as a teacher and not given a surname.

Even so, they had a strong envy for Katrina, who, despite being a mid-level mage, was already recognized as one of the most promising mages to advance to the higher ranks. The Holm Crown Award and several of his papers fully demonstrate his attainments in the arcane, and the increase in the level of magic also shows that his arcane level is not simply a sudden rise, but has deep roots.

Learning from such a teacher is definitely bright for the future. At the very least, it shouldn't be difficult to get promoted to full mage and arcane - to be recommended for this position. It shows that Katrina's arcane and spiritual talents are outstanding, and what is lacking is the teaching of good teachers and the accumulation of resources.

Nodding back to the magicians around him, Lucien walked up to Katrina and smiled, "Good afternoon." Katrina. Which deacons are there today?"

"Mr. Eric. Mr. David...... "Katrina said six names in one breath, "Mr. Evans, are you here to submit your paper?"

Lucien nodded slightly: "Yes." The application may have to wait for a while, so don't rush. Tell others about it, too. ”

"Regardless of whether your application is successful or not, it is great to be able to learn from your teacher. Katrina noticed the envious gaze of everyone, and felt more and more that the decision she had made was correct and appropriate, and if she didn't fight for such an opportunity, she would probably regret it and want to cry in the future!

Lucien greeted him with satisfaction, and walked to the office behind him with a faint smile, naturally targeting his acquaintance, Mr. Eric.

The young girl beside Katrina who was in charge of the reception looked at her companion and Mr. Lucien Evans talking and laughing, and a strong envy and a faint inferiority complex spontaneously appeared in her heart.

Although he is also an excellent graduate of another magic school "Alinge", he has excellent talents in arcane and mental power, and he is also beautiful and has many suitors, but when he first saw Katrina, he felt that he was standing with her, he was like an immature little girl, discussing arcane and magic, she was even more insightful, and often gave herself the illusion that she had studied for three years in vain. I finally adjusted my mentality and comforted myself that everyone has their own strengths, and when I saw such a scene again, I suddenly felt that Katrina's fate favored her, and the powerlessness of the gods' love could not be compared.

"Katrina, didn't you know Mr. Evans, and he's your teacher?" the girl asked, pretending to be nonchalant, with mixed emotions in her heart.

Katrina smiled lightly: "Teacher Evans and I came from across the continent on the same ship, and we received a lot of guidance from him on the way, and later we were lucky enough to reunite with him at the Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and privately received his arcane tutoring. ”

"This is fate...... the girl sighed softly and said what the other magicians around her wanted to say.

As a young girl, Katrina still had a little bit of a little girl's mind, and while raising her head slightly, she couldn't help but show off in her heart: "Teacher Evans is still a disciple of Your Excellency the Storm Master, so I won't talk about this kind of thing everywhere." ”

............

"One thousand one hundred and twenty-four arcane points, sixty-five arcane points, Evans, you will become a level 5 arcanist a year sooner than I expected. Eric handed Lucien the badge that already had five silver stars, still with that suspicious smile on his face, "The development of arcane in the past few years has made people feel breathless, and if you slack off a little, you will find that you will not be able to understand the content of the journal." ”

In the past ten years, in the field of arcane, new discoveries and new theories have appeared dizzyingly, even Lucian, who came back from a trip for more than a year, found that the issues discussed by everyone were a bit "ahead of their time".

"Mr. Eric, you have gained a lot in the past year, and the arcane level has been raised to level four. Lucien saw Eric's arcane insignia turn into four silver stars.

Hearing Lucian's words, Eric's face seemed to light up: "Evans, I contributed three of your arcane points. By the way, you're here to submit your paper?"

Lucien didn't mention updating the magic badge, and Eric didn't think that he would be able to move from the third ring to the fifth ring in just over a year, so he shifted the conversation to the magically processed parchment that Lucien was holding.

"yes, the inspiration from this mission, a thesis in the field of illusion. Lucien handed over the paper to Eric in anticipation. After all, this is my first semi-original paper, and I don't know what kind of evaluation Lu Dao will have.

Eric submitted the paper step by step, and then asked with a little curiosity, "Evans, every paper you published has caused more or less sensation, I wonder what kind of research this illusion paper is?"

"It mainly proves that the human brain can produce special electromagnetic waves and cause hormone secretion, causing mood changes and hallucinations. Now that the paper has been submitted, and he has the Storm Lord behind him, Lucien has nothing to hide.

Eric was a little surprised, "Is it the precursor to Lady Isabella's paper? This has caused a lot of controversy in the field of illusion, with some arcanists believing that she can earn the wizard crown, while most illusionists feel that the paper lacks deeper research. Unworthy of laurels. I'm afraid your paper will also be attacked. However, it also indirectly increases the value of Ms. Isabella's paper. Perhaps you can share the crown with her and become the second person in the last hundred years to receive two top honors in different fields before the high ranks. ”

"If I want to win the laurels for this paper, I still lack something decisive, and I only hope to get a good evaluation result. "Lucien is more self-aware. At the same time, half-jokingly authentic. "I also hope that one day I can win the crown without controversy. ”

This is evidenced by two "seductive human" spells in the appendix. Eric told Lucien that he would receive the results of the audit the next day.

“...... When I was studying photoelectric sensing, I noticed a strange phenomenon, for light below a certain frequency. No matter how much it is strengthened, it cannot make the metal produce an electric current, which contradicts the pre-derivation......"

Lucien was reading the letter written by Edwin Brooke, the Grand Arcanist "Emperor of Control" and "Poetry of the Goddess", to his teacher Fernando, who had noticed the anomaly of the photoelectric effect.

However, since cathode rays and other rays have not yet been discovered and measured, he has not yet noticed the nature of photocurrent, but if this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before electrons are discovered.

Thinking of this, Lucien felt more and more the urgency of the establishment of the "Atomic Research Institute": "The arcane development process of the Wizarding World is really quite different from that of Earth, but if it is the same, it will make people feel strange. Well, I have to step up my performance and let the teacher support me to set up the Atomic Research Institute, otherwise there will simply be enough experimental conditions to complete the experiments I need!"

"Lucian, what do you think of the experiment described by Brooke?" No surprise, Fernando asked again about Lucian's opinion. He doesn't care if Lucian's ideas are wrong or naïve, the main thing is to motivate him to think and give guidance according to his level of knowledge.

Lucien replied very cautiously: "I have not done this experiment, and I do not know the specific situation, but according to the description of Lord Brooke, I can see a problem, and perhaps it shows that the basis of derivation presupposed by Lord Brooke is wrong in a sense. ”

"It's the equivalent of saying nothing...... Maybe this is an opportunity for Douglas. Fernando himself is more inclined to fluctuate, but unlike others, he does not blindly trust either side when many problems cannot be solved.

Then, Fernando explained the experiment to Lucian in detail, but did not ask Lucian to write a reply immediately, but waited until the two of them had done some thermal radiation experiments, sorted out the preliminary data, and wrote them together. At the same time, such data was also given to Douglas.

............

After lunch at the council's headquarters, Lucien went straight to Eric's office to collect the results of the arcane audit.

"Returned in the morning. Eric still had a stern and serious expression, "The evaluation is not bad, at least the committee members will not change the evaluation criteria at will because of their own preferences." ”

Lucien, who was a little nervous when he received his grades, took the document, wondering how many arcane points he could have for his first semi-original paper?

The file opens and it reads:

"The evaluation of Commissioner Augustus is: 'This paper confirms the existence of human autogeneous currents and brain electromagnetic waves by experiments and magic, and verifies by magic how brain waves affect hormone secretion and causes emotional changes and hallucinations. There are many similar shortcomings. ’

'My evaluation results are that this research result has pioneered the introduction of electromagnetism into the field of illusion, and has made a breakthrough in incorporating some illusions into the arcane system, which is very discussable and has a certain importance, but there is a lack of conclusive evidence, and it is recommended to reward thirty arcane points and three hundred arcane points.
