The new young Potions Teaching Assistant at Hogwarts quickly became the attention of the house.
The young teaching assistant first broke the record for the best score on Dean Carmen's perverted test list.
Then Dean Carmen, the head of the cadets who was above the top, actually broke common sense for him, hired him exceptionally, and appointed this newcomer who had just arrived on the first day of reporting as an assistant teacher in Potions!
Don't underestimate the position of this teaching assistant, this position of teaching assistant means that Dean Carmen thinks that this young magician has the ability to teach in the Academy of Magic. Attention, not a post, but a real "teach"!
The difference in one word can make a big difference!
Then, on his first day in office, when he was temporarily substitute teaching, he inadvertently broke out three new magic potion recipes!
You must know that in the magical world of Roland Continent, the magical civilization has certainly developed to a certain level of civilization. However, as this civilization matures, it means that all fields of magic have entered a period of slow development.
In today's magic world, there is basically a very complete and fixed magic system, and all subjects and fields have been basically perfected, and it is almost difficult to find any blanks.
At this time, if you want to make a breakthrough, make an invention and innovate, it is definitely not something that ordinary masters can do, you must be that kind of master-level master to achieve something.
Carmen, for example, invented a new formula for the antidote to petrification two years ago, a groundbreaking invention that made her name appear in the latest edition of the Magic Pharmacopoeia. Officially from a famous contemporary great magician. Transformed and promoted to become a master who can leave a name in the history books.
And Darling Chen, a young magician who is only twenty-four years old on this material. Actually......
I actually threw out three new recipes at once!!
It's not just a title of "young genius"!
You must know that if you want to innovate and break through in any subject in the field of magic, you must have extremely solid and profound professional knowledge. At the same time, only the kind of master-level characters who have been immersed in their lives can finally make a breakthrough in the end, and this kind of thing must not be faked. There are no shortcuts!
This young Darling Chan ......
Not to mention his real magical strength and combat power.
Just from the fact that he was able to invent and create three unprecedented potion recipes - it is no exaggeration to say that this achievement alone is enough to establish his status as a "master of potions"!
In the future, he will definitely be on the new edition of the "Magic Pharmacopoeia"! From then on, he will be able to become a celebrity in the history books and become a master figure that future generations of magicians will worship!
Relying on this title, even if Chen Daolin doesn't do anything from now on, just hanging this title is enough for him to be drunk and dreamy in the Roland Empire, eating, drinking, and having fun for a lifetime. And wherever you go. will be enshrined high!
Although he can't be called a master of magic for the time being. But the title of Potions Master is absolutely impossible to escape.
......
In fact, when that Potions class had just ended. Chen Daolin fled in despair - he had to run because he had written down the three new recipes. The whole classroom is already completely boiling!
The students began to scramble to ask him all kinds of questions. These young students were extremely excited, and some of them were even almost fanatical, worshipping ......
They asked Chen Daolin how he came up with this formula, how he discovered the relationship between medicinal properties, mutual restraint, fusion, neutralization, timeliness of medicinal effects, pharmacology, and magic decline period...... And so on and so forth.
After asking professional questions, these young students couldn't resist the nature of young people after all, and began to gossip wildly.
They asked him where he came from, how many years he had been studying potions, where he had studied, who he had studied with, how he found the inspiration, when the three formulas were invented, and finally began to interrogate Chen Daolin with many personal questions.
For example, how old Chen Daolin really is--it's not that no one doubts his age, because in the eyes of most people, it should be an old magician who can have such a deep foundation in potions. Maybe this Mr. Darling assistant used magic to change his appearance and hide his real age.
Some people are also concerned about whether Chen Daolin will continue to teach, and many students can't wait to say that if Chen Daolin wants to teach alone, they must take it as soon as possible - everyone thinks that Darling teaching assistants with this kind of performance should definitely be given the qualification to teach independently!
How many of the magic teachers in the entire magic academy have their own inventions?
The enthusiasm of the students made Chen Daolin run away after class. However, the three recipes he left behind were still copied after all.
And just when Chen Daolin returned to his residence and was faintly worried in his heart, a debate had already sparked in the academy over this matter.
......
The Management Committee of the Academy of Magic, commonly known as the Council of Elders of the Academy of Magic, put Chen Daolin's matter on the agenda at the regular meeting that afternoon.
Originally, not all the elders of the academy would attend this kind of daily meeting. Many of the academy elders are highly respected magicians, and they are very busy on weekdays.
In normal times, no more than half of the elders can attend daily meetings, except for three important meetings per month.
But today's regular meeting, almost all the elders were present, except for two who were absent because they were not in the imperial capital.
The meeting of elders of the Academy of Magic was placed on a round table.
This is to reflect the concept of equality advocated by Du Wei when he founded the Academy of Magic. However, this idea is too idealistic after all.
Even in the real-world Arthurian Knights of the Round Table, the so-called equality is just wishful thinking.
Since there are so many people, sitting together to discuss, there is naturally a master and a secondary. There are leaders and being led.
As the de facto number one person in the academy, Carmen served as the chief commissioner, and sat at the round table in the position symbolizing the number one: her seat, facing the door of the conference room.
And by her side. Almost all of them are arranged according to the identity of the college, Dean Hugo of the German Branch, Dean of the Carleton Branch, and the Modena Branch......
Although everyone doesn't talk about it. However, the arrangement of seats was cleverly arranged in the order of the status of each branch in the college.
"I don't think this can be done so hastily!"
It was a gray-haired old man, dressed in a white magician's robe, spotless, as white as his hair. The white-clothed old mage supported the table with one hand, and the fingers of his right hand tapped on the tabletop, and said loudly in his mouth: "This matter needs to be verified!!"
"Dean of Culche. Carmen spoke.
She was still wearing the sleek red trench coat - she was the only one in the room who didn't wear a magician's robe.
Carmen sat in the midst of a group of older magicians, looking more and more delicate as a flower. But the people here are all her long-time colleagues. Naturally, Carmen's true age is known.
Carmen spoke. The gray-haired Dean Kurche immediately frowned, "What? Dean Carmen." Do you have to keep doing it?"
"I'm just trying to say that there's really nothing to verify about this matter. Carmen's eyes looked at Kurche level, and he said slowly, "Those three recipes." I want to include you, all of you. Everybody has seen it! I think it's clear to everyone that these three formulas are true, effective, and feasible! What else can be verified? Since the recipe is correct, not false, and not made up, then I don't understand what else to wait for in this matter? Don't forget, we are a magic academy, not a magic union! Only those guys from the union will be full of 'verify, verify, verify,' and 'apply for and apply'!"
Kurche's face froze, but then he took a deep look at Carmen, then took a breath, as if he was also suppressing his feelings, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Dean Carmen, of course I don't mean to question the authenticity of these three formulas! Although I am not a major in Potions, I can at least judge whether these three formulas are correct or not. It is impeccable from the combination of magical elements, pharmacology, and I admit that these are three new formulas with creative properties. β
Speaking of this, Kurche saw that Carmen was about to speak, he tapped his fingers the tabletop, and said loudly: "What I suspect is that these three recipes may not have been made up by that little guy!"
As soon as these words came out, most of the dozen or so elders in front of the table suddenly showed expressions of deep sympathy.
Carmen's face suddenly sank, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a line, and she stared at Kurche: "I need you to explain this!"
"Very well, then I don't have to go around in circles anymore. The people in this room are all people who have studied magic all their lives. I think Dean Carmen should know very well that the road to the study of magic is rigorous, and there are no shortcuts! Of course, there are geniuses in this world, but it is impossible to take such a thing as academics! How old is that kid this year? Twenty-four years old! Even if he starts learning magic at the age of ten, it will only be fourteen years of magic career at most! Fourteen years! The standard process of our academy, the theoretical foundation of magic, needs to be studied for four years, even if this kid is a genius, he can learn it in three years! Then there is the theoretical mastery of the various elements, and it will take him at least two years to master this subject! Then there are the basic theories of Potions, the various existing formulas, the existing magic potions, the medicinal properties, the properties of the elements, and ...... I would like to ask, Dean Carmen, how long did you go from being a naΓ―ve little girl to a qualified magic apothecary?"
"......" Carmen didn't speak.
"In other words, a person who knows nothing about magic, even if he is a genius, needs at least ten years to grow into a qualified magic apothecary!
At this point, Kurche's tone gradually revealed a hint of certainty: "This fellow named Darling Chan is only twenty-four years old, and he has only been studying magic for a dozen years - we don't even know how long he has been studying. On top of that, he doesn't seem to be a professional potions maker. I've heard that he's also good at earth magic and wind magic. Think about it! A magician, more than ten years of magical career. Able to study potions to the level of a master, while also being distracted from cultivating earth magic and wind magic...... Is this possible? Isn't his day twenty-four hours, two hundred and forty hours?"
"So...... What do you mean?" Carmen lowered her eyelids.
"It's simple, I personally have a guess...... These three formulas. He probably got it from somewhere else. β
Carmen laughed and said, "Don't forget, Mr. Courche, it's not the closed age of magic a hundred years ago! It will be revealed as soon as possible, and every magician wants to be famous in the annals of history! Every magician wants to make his invention a sensation all over the world! Do you think that in this day and age, there may be some important invention that is not known? And there are still three at once? Or do you have actual evidence that you have seen these three formulas elsewhere before?"
β...... This, of course not. Courche shook his head: "I'll admit, I've never seen these three formulas. β
"That's fine. β
But that doesn't mean that these three formulas were invented by Darling Chen. β
"Then just by your reasoning, you can conclude that he didn't create it?" Carmen sneered.
"Perhaps, it's some of his teachers or elders...... Courche said.
"Hahaha!!" Carmen burst out laughing.
The woman stood up. Just stand at the table. And then condescendingly. Swept his eyes over everyone present one by one, and finally his gaze fell on Kurche's face: "This is your conclusion?
"Nope. I'm not accusing him of plagiarism, it's just. Maybe he's inherited the legacy of another magician, maybe it's his teacher, maybe it's some of his elders......"
"And who do you think it is?" asked Carmen coldly.
Courche was stunned, he opened his mouth, unable to answer.
"Mr. Courche, everyone, I think everyone is familiar with the wizarding world now. In fact, we have to face the reality that in the past few decades, the magical world of the empire is facing an era of withering talents! I would like to ask you, please think about it in your hearts, and recall that there are only a few mages who are still alive and have profound attainments in potions! Can you count five, or six? I think everyone knows these people, and even knows them very well! Of course, this includes Dean Hugo of the German branch here. β
An old man in white, who was sitting beside Carmen, nodded modestly and said with a smile: "Su Li, you are too polite, and you are one of them." β
"Yes, I can assure you that these three recipes are not the ones of my Sully Carmentron. Dean Hugo can also affirm that this is not his masterpiece. So who else?" Carmen sneered: "There are two in the Magic Guild, but I know both of those gentlemen, I have asked them in the afternoon, and they don't even know Darling Chen!"
Carmen finally looked at Kurche with a sneer: "You said that Darling Chen's recipe was obtained from other magicians, but other magicians, the masters we know, are not involved in it at all! So Mr. Kurche, please tell me, where did your so-called 'other Potions masters' come from? Do you think that in this day and age, there will still be such a great master who is isolated, free, and never known? I want to remind you that this is not the time of barbarism!"
Kurche muttered, "Perhaps...... If there really is a hidden potions master that we don't even know, maybe ......"
"Very well, since you admit the hypothesis, maybe there really is a Potions master whom we didn't know before. So, why can't this person be Darlingchen?!" Carmen's tone suddenly became sharp, and her eyes widened, her gaze as sharp as a knife, and she stared at Kurche coldly.
"Because...... He ......"
"Just because he's too young?" Carmen sneered deliberately, and then her tone became more and more unpolite: "Mr. Courche, I feel sorry for you! You have completely rejected the achievements of a brilliant magician without any actual evidence, just because of your frivolous reasoning! Is this reasonable!!"
"Dean Carmen!!" Kurche was furious, he also stood up, his eyes widened and shouted, "Please respect me!!
"Respect?" Carmen's tone grew more and more disdainful as she looked at Kurche, who was standing there menacingly. Instead, she sat down slowly, looked at her slender fingers, and said lightly: "Respect is to be earned by yourself, not by others." Dean of Curche. You questioned me as a member of the Hogwarts Sorting School without any evidence, do you respect me?"
"You, you......" Coulche pointed at Carmen, his fingers trembling slightly, he seemed to want to say two cruel words, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them.
Carmen raised her eyelids and looked at Kurche and watched him get angry. I watched him suppress his feelings and didn't dare to continue to roar at himself. Then Carmen sighed softly: "What a pity...... If you really said something to me just now. I might really respect you. Pity...... Dean Kurche, it seems that you have lost not only your judgment, but also your courage. β
Speaking of which. Carmen paused deliberately, then said slowly, "Mr. Courche." I'm not as cowardly as you, and I can tell you right now, because your unwarranted accusations against my Hogwarts Sorting faculty have offended me and offended Hogwarts' honor! I hope that your house will keep that pitiful point, otherwise, I think this time next year, the committee should consider whether you are still fit to serve as branch president. β
As she spoke, she shook her head, as if she was very sorry, and muttered to herself, but in a volume that everyone could hear: "No wonder...... The Carlton branch has not produced any talent in recent years. Hmph......"
Kurche's old face turned red at first, then gradually white.
But Carmen did this, but no one at the round table dared to openly contradict her, and Courche looked around, and found that none of the elders had any intention of speaking for him, and he finally sighed sullenly and sat down slowly.
"So...... I think it's time for us to talk about some practical issues. Carmen sat up straight: "For this Master Darling Chen, we should give such a person the treatment that matches his achievements!"
"But...... He's still too young. "It was Hugo, the head of the German branch.
The Devon Branch is second only to the Hogwarts Branch in the entire Academy of Magic, and Hugo himself is a respected and powerful alchemist, so Carmen can't treat him the same way he treats Kurche.
Carmen glanced deeply at Dean Hugo, looked at his round face, and then sighed softly: "Dean Hugo, what do you mean, you also question him......"
"No, that's not what I meant. Hugo smiled, he was already born fat, but when he smiled, he was even more smiling and quite relatable, and he said slowly: "I agree with your point of view, without conclusive evidence, we cannot deny the achievements of a magician out of nothing." So I don't want to question the achievements of this Darling Chancellor, my concern is that he is too young after all, and we have never had such a young full-fledged faculty member in the Academy of Magic! He is now a teaching assistant, but if he is to be qualified to teach alone, he must be given a higher salary...... Is it possible to confer the title of full professor on a young man of twenty-four......? Wouldn't it be too ...... I think that such a talented young man should perhaps be given a lenient illusion so that he can have more energy to continue his magical studies. Perhaps, you can give him the status of a formal scholar of magic research, give him some good treatment, and then stay in the academy to study the real ......"
"Young. Carmen suddenly perked up, and she looked at everyone: "Dean Hugo's Jian, do you agree?"
Hugo's identity was different after all, and soon, someone seconded it. At the round table, several elders spoke in support of Hugo's proposal.
"Young...... Young ......" Carmen looked at Hugo's supporters, and then shook her head helplessly: "Because he is young, can't he be a full-fledged professor at the academy?"
Carmen stood up again, and then she abruptly left the table and walked slowly to the side window.
Wow!!
Carmen suddenly stretched out her hands and pulled the huge floor-to-ceiling curtains on the window hard!
The sunlight outside immediately shone into this solemn conference room.
Carmen was standing in front of the window, and she turned her back to the window, facing the round table.
The sun shone on her body, reflecting her figure on the table, and at this moment, the body of Dean Carmen seemed to be bathed in sunlight, with an aura......
"Who said that you can't be a professor when you're young?" Carmen's voice was not loud, but her tone was resolute and firm: "And what Dean Hugo just said, the academy has never appointed such a young full-fledged faculty member...... What I'm trying to say is, I'm afraid that's not true, right?
Her voice raised a few points, and then she said in a deep voice, word by word: "More than a hundred years ago, when this college was just founded, His Royal Highness Du Wei, the great Duke of Tulip, served as a member of the house committee at the age of less than twenty, and was also the head of the Hogwarts branch and a full professor!
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze.
But soon, someone said, "This ...... Dean Carmen, you compare this Darling Chan to the great Duke of Tulip, which, perhaps, ...... Maybe ......"
"Darling Chan is certainly not as good as Duke Tulip, at least not now. Carmen's face actually showed a faint sense of perseverance: "But he is also young and full of talent! Gentlemen, as I just said, our current era is a sad era! It is an era of withering talent! I think that a large part of the reason for this state of affairs is that our generation has begun to gradually ossify our thinking!! Some of us have gone through the era of the great His Highness Du Wei, and we have also experienced the era of the later Tulip Dukes, some of us have experienced that great golden age, and some of us are still reminiscing and remembering that great era! Then, we began to sit on the wealth of our predecessors, and gradually became conservative, timid, and unenterprising...... Stubborn and stupid! Just like the Magic Guild that we have always looked down upon! Our Magic Academy has changed from an enterprising new Magic Academy to an increasingly old-fashioned and gloomy place! This place is becoming more and more like the Magic Guild! Our way of thinking is becoming more and more outdated!!
That's why there are fewer and fewer talents in our academy now, because we are becoming more and more timid, less and less innovative thinking, and more and more afraid to break the conventional rules! I want to ask, when the great Duke Tulip ushered in that golden age more than a hundred years ago, did he follow any fixed rules to do it step by step? No! No! No!
Carmen's tone became more and more excited, more and more excited, and she finally took a deep breath: "I think that there are times when we should properly break some outdated concepts! Why can't young people be promoted out of the ordinary? I think that as long as he has enough talent to match, we should give him the corresponding treatment and status! A professor? I can tell you that if this Darling Chan is able to display such amazing talent as he continues in the next three years, I will even nominate him as the Vice-Dean of Hogwarts in three years' time!"
