Finding Dean Manan with the freshly printed exam papers, Xia Lin explained to him his idea of working with the Royal Academy of Magic to expand enrollment and train more mages to become researchers.

"Graduate students? Xia Lin, does your research institute really need so many mages to study together?"

Dean Manan was a little surprised by Xia Lin's idea, in the past, mages usually studied by themselves and a few apprentices.

For example, Xia Lin had previously asked more than twenty students to act as assistants during night research, but this time it was a bit shocking to set up a research institute in one go, recruiting hundreds of mages to conduct research at the same time.

Even if it's a magic association, everyone just exchanges research results and ideas, and it's basically impossible to get together to conduct research.

"Of course! At present, the Karl Institute has set up three directions, namely spell research, alchemy and golem.

These three directions are the focus of my future magic research, and each direction will be allocated three or four topics that I think may be able to produce some results, and each research group will need at least ten researchers, so that the number of people will be almost a hundred."

Xia Lin said affirmatively.

"Is that so? Your ambition is truly impressive!"

Dean Manan nodded with some emotion:

"I don't have any problems here, the records of the last time the child who reached the age of twelve are still kept in the Royal Library of the Academy, and we are now in time to enroll.

It's just that I'm just the dean of the Royal Academy of Magic, and this matter is more important than opening the library to Karl's lab before, and I don't have the authority to make decisions, I think you have to ask for Your Majesty's permission through Her Royal Highness."

"I've met Archmage Strach, and with his influence and that of His Royal Highness, His Majesty Sassen XVII shouldn't object to something that could strengthen the Empire's magical world.

Dean Manan might as well make some preparations first, and I will inform Archmage Stretch and Her Royal Highness about this matter, and ask them to take care of it.

When the time comes, with the consent of His Majesty the Emperor, we can start recruiting students immediately, and now that half a year has passed, there is no delay in such a thing as education."

Xia Lin took out the Royal Mage Badge given to him by Archmage Strachrich and showed it to Dean Manan.

"You've met Archmage Straggy and gobothered with him?! That's surprising news, but I don't seem so surprised that it happened to you, and in that case, I don't have any problems, and that's it.

But what are you bringing these papers for? Twenty-three of the second-year sergeant students were snatched away by you, and when the time comes, Her Royal Highness will come forward to communicate with the military in the north, is it possible that you still want to pull the remaining students of the academy away?"

Dean Manan released his spiritual power, felt the spiritual power remaining in the badge, nodded, and then pointed to the test paper held by Xia Lin and asked inquiringly.

"That's not true, it's just that the graduate students recruited in the future can't solve the current shortage of manpower in the institute, so I want to recruit a group of temporary researchers among the first-year students of the college, so that it will not affect the teaching order of the college."

Xia Lin saw Dean Manan's smiling expression, and said with some embarrassment.

It doesn't seem good to always catch a sheep and make wool, but who said that the entire imperial capital, or even the entire empire, has only such a relatively modern magic academy?

In other regions, the training of mages is still in the primitive apprenticeship stage, and it is simply impossible to find so many low-ring mages to act as researchers in the research institute.

"Hehe, you still care about the teaching order, forget it, you can do what you want! Anyway, it's not for me to come forward and explain to the military in the north when the time comes."

Dean Manan shook his head helplessly, and began to gather first-year students for Xia Lin to conduct Xia Lin's test selection.

Due to the fact that Xia Lin's "Rune Variants and the Four Basic Rune Theories" involves a lot of mathematical knowledge, the college has now set up a mathematics course in the curriculum, and has begun to gradually try to adopt scientific thinking to teach, learn and learn magic

Study.

The effect has also been quite remarkable these days, and the professors of various departments have generally reported that the students have mastered the new runes much faster than before, so the third-year students who have already started the spell training class have also had to go back to the furnace to retake mathematics, in order to master the first ring spell faster and become a one-ring mage.

Xia Lin naturally knew about these changes through the researchers in the laboratory, so he made the difficulty of this test paper much more difficult, although the main content is still focused on geometry, but there is also a lot of algebra content.

If it weren't for Luna's amazing mathematical talent and finding the hidden patterns in a pile of data, Xia Lin would still be looking beyond the threshold of the rune connection.

This also made Xia Lin think that it is necessary for the institute to establish a data analysis center in the future, and at this stage, some researchers who are talented in algebra can be directly responsible for processing these experimental data full-time, but it is better to develop computers in the future.

Although Xia Lin doesn't know much about the computer major, he still knows the general working principle of the computer, and he already has a mature alternative aversion in this direction, that is, the Golem Soul Core.

The Golem Soul Core, which can follow the instructions of the mages and perform them, is sure to have a similar effect to the CPU of a computer.

After an exam, Xia Lin selected sixteen people with relatively good mathematical talents from the ignorant first-year students to sign a contract to become temporary researchers at the Karl Institute, and in the future, they will spend the rest of their time in the research institute on magic, except for the necessary courses.

If you want to take a class, you can go to the R&D center dock and take a specially equipped boat all the way to the East Side, and then go to the academy to take classes.

After taking them to recognize the way and arranging dormitories for them in the Karl Institute, Xia Lin gathered all the members of the institute and read out the rules and regulations and confidentiality regulations of the Karl Institute that he had formulated himself, and then disbanded the security department led by Cook and the cleaning and maintenance department selected from the employees of the industrial park.

Instead, Sophia chose her favorite apprentice from the forty people to fill the alchemy and golem directions.

Sophia's way of selecting apprentices is also quite simple, she used some potions to prepare a basin of dark black potion, and then asked the researchers to try to inject their spiritual power into the potion one by one, with the injection of spiritual power, many silver points of light and silk threads will gradually emerge in the potion, forming all kinds of strange diagrams.

Among them, the more light threads and the smaller the person, she chose to go to her alchemy and golem direction, and became an apprentice.

"Sophia, what is the principle of your potion?"

Xia Lin also tried it, and found that his points of light and silk threads were definitely up to the standard of Sophia's seemingly gifted person, and asked with some curiosity.

"This is the Styx Elixir, it is said that the ancient alchemists concocted it according to the composition of the water of the long river where the soul returns after death, this potion is very sensitive to spiritual power, and various patterns will appear according to the spiritual power it comes into contact with, among which the more delicate and heavy the spiritual power, the more suitable it is to become an alchemist."

Sophia managed to find four talented apprentices in the research institute, and finally had a handyman under him, and she was in a good mood, patiently explaining to Xia Lin.
