In the perception of ordinary people, magic is a gift from the mother goddess to the nobility, and the miracle that manifests itself after inducing mana through the excellent and noble blood belongs to the realm of pure senses.

Actually, that's a very subtle misunderstanding.

Magic is the realization of the steps of induction mana - imagination and construction of techniques - manifestation of phenomena, induction mana is only the initial step, through the acquisition of continuous efforts to exercise and learn to recognize various phenomena and techniques, after accumulating experience and knowledge, before using magic smoothly.

In the process of learning and exercising, in addition to the ability to sense, various disciplines and sciences also occupy a very important position. As the foundation of science, mathematics has an important influence on the performance of various techniques beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that mathematics is a watershed in the quality of magicians.

When learning basic techniques, the application value of mathematics is not obvious. However, mathematics becomes indispensable when you learn advanced magic, how to use two or more techniques on top of each other, and how to use self-discipline with them.

As a talented woman of the royal family, Minerva's mathematical talent was unquestionable, and all of her examinees, except Roland, turned in their papers early, and none of the questions answered incorrectly would prove her talent.

But compared with Roland's results, the two are too much worse.

25 minutes to hand in the paper, all the questions answered correctly, the extra question "calculate pi, the more accurate the more points" is an amazing result of 39 digits after the decimal point. In the face of such exaggerated results, Minerva's excellent performance also seemed bleak.

"How can this be? Are all the people in V.E who are tossing around the numbers monsters?"

Muttering to the posted test papers, Minerva felt a desire to smack his tongue in his heart, and Roland, who was surrounded by all kinds of sights not far away, could only smile bitterly.

Not long after the exam, Roland figured out something.

It's not that Li Lin stuffed the money, it's just that the mathematics of the human world is too simple and primitive, and this competition is meaningless.

High school students who study calculus will not lose to elementary school students who are figuring out the chicken-rabbit equation in the same cage, not to mention that high school students use decimal Arabic numerals. Elementary school students are still counting with Roman numerals with a total of 7 numeric symbols, and they are writing with letters and words.

Roland finally realized that Roland had introduced Arabic numerals and multiplication formulas. How important it is to be almost coercive to order all schools to teach this new knowledge.

Until now, human numbers have been written with alphabetic symbols and grammatical words similar to Roman numerals. Whether it is a businessman's account book or a government's tax bill, there are dense letters and words. That sea of bars and letters. Anyone who looks at it will have a numb scalp. It's okay to look at them one by one, but if a lot of numbers are put together, it will take a lot of time.

This kind of tedious mathematical writing not only causes inconvenience in life. It also restricts the development of mathematics and social progress.

In contrast, the advantages of Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of the four operation symbols, and multiplication formulas are easy to see at a glance. Not only is it easier to read and write, but ordinary civilians can also learn and master it quickly, and they can learn the simple four arithmetic within two or three years.

The elf students in the second grade of primary school who receive compulsory education have no pressure to explode human children regardless of pen arithmetic, mental arithmetic, and abacus. Roland, who has received a full set of elite education, has no suspense about passing the pediatric exam like guò, in fact, in the exam just now, if it weren't for the cumbersome writing. At the age of 7, Roland was taught by Li Lin to sing the song of pi. It can also make the results a little more scary.

A thousand decimal places will make many teachers foam at the mouth......

"I want to take on a serious challenge, but this can't be considered a battle at all, right?"

"You...... Say what?"

The girl's voice trembled, and her fists clenched tightly under the cloak.

Roland may have just sighed unconsciously, but this unintentional word was harsh from the mouth of the onlooker, and it was said by him, the victor. It's just mocking and showing off unscrupulously.

Blue-white sparks flickered and crackled, and the stench of burning air poured into their nostrils, and the candidates screamed as if they were retreating, leaving only Roland and the pale-faced princess.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess!!"

A female examiner in charge of the order of the scene let out a mournful cry, in addition to being a great being who is responsible for governing the country, the royal family is also the most ancient family of magicians. In a world where the power of the mage family is measured by a strong bloodline and a long heritage, the royal family is the symbol of the apex of the mage.

As the love soared, the arc of electricity around Minerva became more and more intense, and a few dead leaves and confetti were swept up by the wind and blown towards the girl with a bad face, and in an instant, the arc exploded those things to pieces.

As Mana gathered around Minerva, the arc became more and more intense.

"Your Royal Highness, please calm Mana, it will hurt the other students"

The female teacher shouted again, if Minerva continued to go crazy, not to mention that the candidate was dangerous, the entire examination room could be blown up.

Whew――

Minerva, who heard the admonition, took a deep breath, the thunder gradually subsided, and relying on the examiner's reminder and her own self-control, Her Royal Highness finally restrained the anger that almost burned people.

Her Royal Highness has inherited the magical bloodline of the Wang family very well, and before the age of 16, she has a strength close to the quasi-pentagonal level, and even her unconscious emotions are enough to interfere with Mana and inspire terrifying powers that can hurt others.

I have to say that she was almost born to become a magician, but this kind of excellent bloodline that is too strong is really a bit dangerous.

"I'll admit you're pretty good at math. ”

Minerva nodded almost invisibly, and before the audience could recover from the shock of her sudden change of attitude towards her and her confession of defeat, Minerva, who had regained her strength, stretched out her hand to the bewildered Roland.

"However, if you think that the exam is nothing more than that, then you are very wrong, and the next subjects are the real ones! Get ready!!"

Leaving behind the harsh words, Minerva hurried out of the hallway.

It was only then that Roland seemed to react, and let out a long sigh, losing the vigor he had when he accepted the challenge before, and the sigh at this moment seemed to be as heavy as condensing the melancholy of a hundred years.

Looking up at the exam schedule, the next step is memory, the principles of surgery, and the identification of various substances......

If nothing else, the results of the remaining test items will probably still be the same as they are now, with a huge score gap and Miss Minerva's rampage.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Roland made a prediction of the ending for all the written test items in one sentence.

"No matter how you do it, you're not going to win......" (To be continued.) )

PS: Guess the small theater

Li Lin: The winners of the last issue are Dawnbreaker Herald, Fans Owner, Arashi Dancer, Poor Nameless, and Little Night God, congratulations!

Nidhogg: Today's Question 1. What was the prototype of the Humboldt University, which was funded by V.E....... And so on, the great prime minister of this dynasty, Zhou Gong, worked at the university. Question 2.What is the source of the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage? (Hint: The things of the ancestors of the Celestial Empire...... The rabbit's scientific talent was developed very early. Let's do it, everybody!
