Chapter 51 A New System of Professional Titles
When Leo returned to Hope Square, an hour and a half had passed. There was not much time left before the appointment with Sost, but his accommodation problem had not yet been resolved, so he had to show his membership card and enter the headquarters of the Magi's Council under the surprised gaze of the doorman. Of course, this kind of important place is not accessible to anyone who wants to.
Although the overall regulation is not much different from the magic of Kaiyan City, the headquarters is the headquarters after all, and it is not only many times larger from the outside. Entering the hall, its spaciousness dΓΉ, made Leo smack his tongue. On a closer look, there is at least 10,000 square meters of only one hall, and there are no beams and columns to support it, and it is clear that this majestic building was built by magic.
At this moment, the hall of the Magical Council headquarters was full of mages in various robes, some were asking what was going on at the front desk, and some were checking the signs around the hall. Fortunately, everyone has their own business, so that no one pays attention to him.
Soon found the counter in charge of the accommodation, and before Leo could speak, the young receptionist preemptively said, "You're here to take the exam, and you won't start until after you sign up." β
Leo directly handed over the membership card: "No, I want to request a room." β
Remembering that there was also a teenager who wanted to apply for a room just now, the receptionist immediately took the membership card and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, I will handle it for you immediately." β
A minute later, Leo got the room card with "7312" written on it. After estimating the time, he was about to go out to find Sost to rendezvous, but he didn't expect to walk a short distance before someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it was Sost.
"I've been so miserable by you!" said Sost, puffing out.
"Huh?" Leo looked dazed.
Thorst took out the green crystal card and shook it in front of Leo's eyes: "I'm also a member!
Leo then remembered that Sost was the third in the Ruhr area. I've been granted junior membership of the Magi's Council, but I don't remember it at all. Scratching his head, Leo apologized, "Haha, I'm really sorry, I forgot." β
In fact, Sost himself didn't even remember that he suddenly realized that he was a member when he was told that many hotels were full and desperate. Just as he was about to open his mouth to show forgiveness, he suddenly smelled a strange voice and asked. I couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did you go, why are you covered in the smell of alcohol?"
Leo said casually: "I just felt tired from the journey, so I went to drink a little and relax." β
Soster frowned suddenly, after a month of getting along, the relationship between the two was already very good, so he felt that he needed to admonish his friend, so he said, "How old are you, why did you get this kind of habit." Alcohol has a very strong effect on memory. If you drink like this, you'll ruin your future. β
"You think I want to drink, but I can't help it. Leo muttered in his heart, nodded again and again, "Don't worry." I don't usually drink much. By the way, which room are you in?"
Sost knew that Leo was still relatively reliable, so he didn't say anything more, and replied, "It's room 7309." β
"It's not far away. Leo smiled and continued, "I'm at 7312. I'm tired, go back, I need a good rest. β
"That's not right. He was the one who came to check in first, but why is the room behind me?" Soster was about to ask, when a commotion sounded not far away.
Both of them looked at it curiously, and immediately found that it was a group of mages discussing with each other around a notice that had just been announced. They all had good eyesight and could see what was on it immediately.
"The first academic title review of this year, the audit results of the Calente Magic Council are as follows: 104 junior magic scholars, 75 intermediate magic scholars, 34 senior magic scholars, 11 junior magic masters, 6 intermediate magic masters, and 2 senior magic masters, the above results are jointly audited by the academic audit department of the Magic Council of Calcium and the major colleges, if you have any comments, please appeal within 30 working days. In addition, the results of the Magister and the Holy Magister will be announced directly by the Lordaeron Magic Council at a later date. β
The rest is full of dense lists and major research results.
"For those who do not have a title, Elaine Gardesden, a level 3 mage, has accumulated academic points and obtained the title of junior magician due to the improvement of the level 1 magic steel heart, as well as other contributions. β
"The person without a title, the level 2 mage Ervit Searle, due to the discovery of a more effective way to collect Nier's dragon flowers, and other contributions, accumulated academic points and obtained the title of junior magician. β
"Junior Magisten, Level 3 Mage Pehin Jessit, has accumulated academic points and obtained the title of Intermediate Magischolar due to his research on the specific influence process of Level 2 Magical Mind Language, as well as other contributions. β
"Intermediate Magi, Level 5 Mage Crispin Kadogan, due to the new elaboration of the intermediate force field and flame components, and other contributions, accumulated academic points and received the title of Senior Magi. β
............
At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded beside Leo: "Wow, Benny, your comments are clear!Ha, now I should call you Mr. Senior Magior." It turned out to be a middle-aged level 3 mage, and he was saying to his companion with envy on his face.
"Don't shout here!" Another middle-aged mage named Benny noticed a lot of glances, hurriedly waved his hand, and then said to his companion: "Halsey, you are now a junior demon scholar, you also need to do more research, and strive to obtain the title of intermediate demon scholar as soon as possible." β
Halsey puffed up his chest: "Of course, I've been researching to improve the effect of a magic potion recently, and if I succeed, I can definitely get the title of Intermediate Magiist in the next review!"
Benny obviously couldn't accept his companion's statement, and said, "But alchemy is a sub-school after all, so I'd better advise you to change your direction and engage in the study of the main school." β
Halsey denied: "You are not right, the main school and the sub-school are complementary to each other, and without the assistance of the sub-school, it is impossible to engage in the study of the main school." Although the improvement in the strength of the sub-school is minimal, in fact, we are all studying the essence of things, but the main school is more advanced in terms of theory. β
Refuted by his companion, Benny immediately raised his voice: "I still insist on my point of view, the main school is the direction of magic development!
At this time, several more people participated in the debate, but most of them were inclined to Benny's main school views, which made Halsey, who valued the study of the secondary school, obviously a little overwhelmed.
While listening to the debate, Leo asked Sost curiously, "What is that academic title review?"
"I don't know. Thorst shook his head, equally blank.
Looking at the two very young members of the Magire Council in front of him, the receptionist, who was a mage's apprentice, interjected kindly: "The two of you are from the Ruhr area, and you may not know it yet, because the title of Magister is too difficult to obtain, many people give up on magic research, just to improve their strength, so Lordaeron has recently created an academic title system, which comprehensively evaluates the rank and title according to a person's magic level, ability, and research achievements, which can reflect the research level and work ability of a professional mage." β
"Is there any benefit to getting a job title?" Leo was the first to care about the practical implications.
The receptionist glanced at Benny, a senior magician nearby, and said enviously: "Of course there are benefits, the title is a status symbol, the higher the title, the more resources you can get in the magician society." And if there is any serious research project, you can still get funding from Lordaeron, and even hold a press conference in Lordaeron! β
Saying that, her face fell again: "I don't know when I will be promoted to a full-fledged mage and can start my own research." Alas, not entering the Academy of Magic, it really affects the future. β
Leo is clear that magic is divided into casting and application, of which the school of alchemy is also known as the main school, which is divided into protection, spells, prophecy, enchantment, plastic energy, illusion, necromancy, and change, which are eight conventional sub-schools, while alchemy and inscriptions belong to the application and are called the sub-schools, of which alchemy includes the three sub-schools of potions, magic equipment, and alchemy mechanics, and the inscriptions include the three sub-schools of magic array, enchantment, and scroll science. However, although the two sub-schools are different, they have a close connection, for example, if you want to make a piece of magic equipment, you must not only have alchemy knowledge, but also know a certain amount of inscription knowledge.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "Is there any difference between the main school and the deputy school in obtaining professional titles?"
The receptionist shook his head and said, "There is no difference, as long as you have a real research background and research results, you can get academic points." However, I've heard that Lordaeron's side doesn't seem to pay much attention to the sub-school, and only one of the few people who have recently received the title of Magister is engaged in the study of the sub-school. β
From the debate of the people next to him and the explanation of the receptionist, Leo can also feel that in the magic system of this world, the main school is indeed more valued than the secondary school.
There is nothing incomprehensible about this, after all, learning the main school is the true source of one's ability. And even if there is a good alchemy idea, no matter how ingenious the inscription design, if there is no corresponding ability to guarantee it, it is impossible to produce high-quality magic items and potions, invent new methods of enchantment, or conduct more in-depth theoretical research.
However, from the perspective of the public, the main school of research has no benefit in improving people's livelihood and enhancing national strength, so it is no wonder that Alice wants to promote the popularization of magic, which seems to be influenced by the academic title system. With this, although it will stimulate the enthusiasm of many people, the research direction will definitely be more inclined to the main school. Leo muttered to himself thoughtfully.
