Chapter 335: The Comment on the Paper

Translator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion

It was close to the time when the headquarter of the Congress was about to close . Lucien took the paper which had been revised by the Lord of Storm to the Sorcerer Administrative Department .

“Good afternoon, Mr . Evans . ” Katrina was very surprised to see Lucien .

Katrina was very good-looking and in good shape . Many young sorcerers here who weren’t married often tried to get closer to her, and it was the same today, even though it was already late afternoon . Some were pretending they were just having a drink; some were talking about the latest arcana theories to show their profoundness, using hard words that most people did not understand; some who were more straightforward just directly talked to the young receptionists, making those other sorcerers quite pissed off .

Hearing Katrina greeted Lucien gladly, they all looked at the young sorcerer who just entered the hall .

Good-looking face, elegant dressing, and the dream-like purple ring on his finger… This young man was Lucien Evans, one of the most outstanding young sorcerers . It was said that he was already a level five arcanist!

The sorcerers all stood up and greeted respectfully, “Good afternoon, Mr . Evans . “

Meanwhile, they were all guessing the relationship between them Lucien and Katrina . They heard that Lucien Evans once had some students, and therefore many of them more or less envied Katrina for she could have such a famous teacher . Although Lucien Evans was still a middle-rank mage, he had been recognized as the most promising candidate for becoming a senior-rank . The several papers Lucien published had shown his profound knowledge in arcana .

Following such a teacher meant a bright future . At least, it shouldn’t be hard for Katrina to become a real sorcerer and an arcanist .

Lucien nodded to the sorcerers and then walked to Katrina, “Good afternoon, may I know who is available today? “

“Mr . Eric, Mr . David… Basically, they’re all available,” answered Katrina . “Are you here for your new paper?”

“Yes . ” Lucien nodded, “The application thing’s going to take some time . Don’t worry . Also, tell others when you see them . “

“No matter whether the application can be approved or not, being your student is still a great thing . ” Katrina knew that the other sorcerers present were all jealous of her . She knew that her choice was absolutely correct!

Lucien talked to Katrina casually for a short while and headed for the office in the back . Of course, he would go for Mr . Eric, as they were old acquaintances already .

When the other receptionist saw that Katrina felt so comfortable and at ease when talking to Mr . Lucien Evans, she was a bit jealous but also had a sense of inferiority . As an excellent graduate just like Katrina, she felt that she was like a little girl when discussing magic and arcana with the other . She tried hard to tell herself that people had different strengths, however, what she just saw frustrated her again . She wondered why Katrina was so lucky .

“Katrina, you’ve never told me that you know Mr . Evans,” the young receptionist asked Katrina and pretended that she was just asking casually, “and he’s your teacher?”

Katrina smiled, “Mr . Lucien Evans and I were on the same boat from the other side of the ocean . He taught me a lot on the way, and then, fortunately enough, I met Mr . Evans again in the magic school . He tutored me arcana . “

“This is destiny…” The young receptionist sighed . That was what the other sorcerers were thinking as well .

Katrina was still young . Of course, she was very proud . She thought to herself that Mr . Evans was also the student of the Lord of Storm, but she would not brag about it .

. . .

“One thousand one hundred and twenty-four arcana credits, sixty-five arcana points . Now you’ve become a level five arcanist . It’s a year earlier than I expected . ” Eric handed the badge with five silver stars on it to Lucien, “These years, the development of arcana is amazing . If one stops studying arcana for a short while, one would be left way behind . “

What Eric said was true . Even Lucien was also a bit confused when hearing other sorcerers talking about the latest arcana topics after coming back .

“Mr . Eric, you’ve also become a level four arcanist . ” Lucien took a glance at the badge that Eric was wearing .

Hearing Lucien’s words, Eric’s face lit up, “I’ve also contributed three credits to your total gaining . By the way, are you here to submit your new paper?”

Lucien did not mention that his magic badge could also be updated to the fifth circle, and Eric did not expect it either . So the topic had been switched to Lucien’s new paper .

“Yes . I was inspired by my mission . It’s about Illusion . ” Lucien handed the paper to Eric . In his heart, he was quite expectant . After all, half of the paper was from Lucien himself .

Eric first submitted the paper and then asked a bit curiously, “Every single one of your papers more or less have caused some stirs . What’s this paper about?”

“It proves that human brain waves can send out a special electromagnetic wave that leads to the secretion of certain hormones”, thus people’s emotions are affected and illusions are caused,” said Lucien honestly .

Eric was a bit surprised, “Is it related to Ms . Isabella’s paper? Her paper has caused a lot of discussions . Some arcanists support her viewpoint and believe that she should be the winner of Sorcerer Laurel, but more illusionists think that the paper’s too shallow and not persuasive enough . Probably your paper is also going to be involved in the debate and be attacked . But your paper could also make Ms . Isabella’s paper more complete . Perhaps you can share the Laurel with her and become the second arcanist in a hundred years who can win the highest awards in two different fields . “

“My paper is not there yet . I just wish this paper can get a good score . ” Lucien joked, “Maybe in the future I can win the Laurel with a better paper . “

Because Lucien had used the two versions of the spell, Charm Person, to support the paper, Eric told Lucien that he should be able to get the result the next day .

. . .

“… When studying photoelectric sensing, I found something strange . No matter how I enhance the power of a kind of low-frequency light, no electric current can be produced, which is contradictory to the previous inference…” Lucien was reading the letter from the grand arcanist Edwyn Brook, Emperor of Control, the Poem of the Goddess . He had noticed the unusual thing in the photoelectric effect .

Brook had not seen the nature of light current because cathode ray still remained undiscovered . However, Lucien knew that it was just a matter of time . He felt the urgency of setting up his Atom Institution .

“What do you think of Brook’s experiment, Lucien?” As usual, Fernando asked again . He did not care whether Lucien’s thoughts were right or wrong . This was just a method of teaching .

Lucien answered cautiously, “I’ve never done this experiment before, so I’m not sure . But according to Mr . Brook’s description, maybe the foundation of his inference is wrong . “

“You’re just repeating… Maybe this is a chance for Douglas . ” Fernando was more inclined to Wave Theory, but he was not the supporter of either side as there was no specific evidence yet .

Then Fernando explained the experiment to Lucien in detail, but he did not make Lucien reply the letter until he had finished part of the heat radiation experiment with Lucien . Fernando asked Lucien to send the data to Brook, and also to Douglas .

. . .

The second day after lunch, Lucien went to Eric’s office for the result of his paper .

“The result was sent back in the morning . ” Eric looked the same serious, “The result isn’t bad . The board members won’t change their review standards because of their own preferences . “

When receiving the document, Lucien was quite nervous like a young student receiving his final score .

The document wrote:

“Augustus: The paper proves the existence of human body electric currents and brain waves and how emotions and delusions are caused using the experiment the spell . The idea is well organized and presented, but the sample size of brain wave is limited and thus the paper is less persuasive . The author has also admitted this . To conclude, the research creatively leads electromagnetism into the field of Illusion, providing further support for including part of the school of Illusion in the system of arcana . The paper can lead to great discussion but it still lacks decisive evidence . Therefore, thirty arcana credits and three hundred arcana points are recommended as the reward . ”
