On the fifteenth floor of the Congress Magic Tower, in another room.
The crisp sound of the bell was pleasant to the ears. A puppet heard the sound and hopped over. It then picked up the paper and flipped through it. "Sound wave paper? Apprentice level? My master told me that only senior-rank spells or the latest arcana should be reviewed by him. My master's students are not here today, either. Well, I guess I have to give them to the arcanists who reviewed Common Arcana. "
After identifying the magic level, the puppet waited for another five minutes until 'Bat's Scream' was identified and sent over. It was not until then that the puppet asked a beautiful bird with red beaks and green feathers to land from the window. It rolled up the few papers that he had accumulated today and asked it to fly to another magic tower in Allyn with the ribbon in its mouth.
It was difficult to teleport the papers in different magic towers.
The bird flew very fast, and its feathers could create a light green shield to block the wind. Soon, the bird disappeared from the puppet's sight.
…
On the third floor of a magic tower that was as blue as the sky, in a crowded and messy room full of books.
A middle-aged man with a golden mustache was reading a journal in front of him, frowning.
Learning the latest research results in their own fields was one of the main ways for sorcerers at his level to make further progress.
Suddenly, he heard something pecking the energy shield outside the magic tower. He put down the journal in his hand and pressed a magic button on the table in front of him.
The energy shield was removed, and the window was opened. The bird with red beak and green feathers flew in. It took a few steps on the table proudly and put down the papers in its mouth, "Mr. Woods, these are today's papers. Please review them as soon as possible."
The voice was as pleasant as the bird's chirp.
Woods took out a handful of strange white particles and threw them to the bird, "Selina, do you have them for review? If not, come and get them tomorrow at this time. "
Selina pecked the particles in satisfaction and murmured, "Yes, Mr. Woods. Please review them as soon as possible."
Hearing that, Woods untied the ribbon and found the parchment on which the new spell was written.
"Bat Scream, an apprentice-level spell … Interesting." Woods, who was not paying much attention, was pleasantly surprised when he read the rest of the paper.
When he finished reading, he couldn't help but knock on the table with his fingers and murmur, "Well, well, well … There should be a corresponding paper, right?"
As he spoke, he flipped through the other parchments.
"'Exploring the Application of Sound Wave in the Field of Magic Detection from the Flying Bat Experiment'? Lucien Evans? This is it. "
He took out the thesis and read it carefully from beginning to end.
"… He's a mage with a great sense of exploration. He has the potential to become an arcanist."
"In the past, the Magic Empire and the Congress of Magic mostly focused on magic creatures and human beings. Few people studied ordinary creatures. Even if there is, it is obvious that it is similar to the strength of a bear or the agility of a cat. No wonder no one has discovered that small bats fly by hearing instead of sight. "
"… The design and elimination process of the control experiment was very interesting and rigorous. Although it did not involve much arcana knowledge, the way of thinking and the way of thinking are worth learning. It's very similar to the spirit of arcana exploration … Wait, there's only one first-circle sorcerer? This young mage had no arcana level? How surprising! "Woods couldn't help but turn to the front and read the author's name and level.
"Lucien Evans. This name is so common that it's hard to know who it is. But I'm sure I'll see his name a lot in the future. I have to suggest that he should add a letter after his name when he publishes his paper."
After carefully reading the paper, Woods stood up and ordered his apprentices to catch two small bats.
Although he didn't know why Woods wanted bats, he couldn't disobey the request of a level-four arcanist and fourth-circle sorcerer. Luckily, bats could be used as the formula of several magic potions, so Woods was able to find two bats in ten minutes.
Woods repeated Lucien's experiment in a very short time and became more and more excited, "It's true that we can locate the target through high-frequency echolocation. This means that we can use the Sound Wave Magic to break the limitation of the past. We can no longer only use it to intimidate, destroy and kill people!"
Most of the Sound Wave Magic belonged to different schools. For example, Homan's Coughing Series belonged to the school of Force Field, and Banshee's Howl belonged to the school of Necromancy.
Holding back his desire to write a paper about the application of the Sound Wave Magic, Woods sat back in his seat and wrote down his review on the front of Lucien's paper.
"Groundbreaking …"
The same thing happened in another magic tower, but this time, it was the headquarter of Sound Wave.
…
In the hall of Sorcerer Administrative Department, Lucien was sitting on the sofa and drinking Sky Blue, a non-alcoholic drink highly recommended by Lazar. It was sweet and moist, and Lucien liked it a lot.
In the transparent glass, Lucien swayed the blue liquid slowly. While drinking, Lucien and Lazar talked about the general knowledge of the Congress of Magic leisurely.
It was almost 5: 40 pm, when the magic tower in the headquarter of the Congress of Magic was about to be closed, but the two sorcerers were sitting in the hall and drinking. Both Cindy and Dona were very curious, so Cindy, who was more active than Lucien, asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lazar, Mr. Evans, do you have anything else to do in the department?"
Lazar pointed at Lucien and smiled, "I'm accompanying Evans to wait for the review result of his new spell. Hehe, and the review result of his paper. However, it usually takes three days for the review result to come out. Cindy, you know that the gentlemen in the review committee are all big shots. They're always very strict when it comes to their work, so they're very slow. "
"Of course, the gentlemen in the review committee have their own research, exploration and family entertainment to do." Cindy answered Lazar's question first, and then she looked at Lucien in surprise, "Mr. Evans' paper?"
Lazar nodded affirmatively.
Both Cindy and Dona were surprised, "Mr. Evans, you've studied arcana before?"
"I've been studying arcana for more than a month. Although I feel that I've made great progress, the paper I've written is just some of my experience in improving spells." Lucien took a sip of the Sky Blue.
The two girls nodded, and Cindy smiled, "Although the paper might not pass, I'm sure that the new spell will definitely help you activate your arcana badge, Mr. Evans. Also, Mr. Evans, you're the first person I've ever seen who had the courage to submit a paper on the day he joined the Congress of Magic. Congratulations, you've entered the history of Cindy! "
Lucien chuckled and said, "It's my honor to be with such a lively girl."
Lazar took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It's five forty now. Mr. Evans, let's go to Mr. Eric's office to check the result. I hope you can activate your arcana badge."
"I hope you can get arcana credits, Mr. Evans." The two girls also wished Lucien well.
…
In Eric's office.
"The result of the review hasn't come back yet. Are all the gentlemen in the review committee busy today?" Even Eric, who always paid attention to his appearance, couldn't help but ask. Normally, the result of the review of apprentice-level spells would come out in twenty minutes. After all, everyone knew that the members of the review committee would never evaluate the apprentice-level spells by themselves.
Lazar was a bit worried about Lucien, "Mr. Eric, it'll be six o 'clock in twenty minutes. Can we wait here for the result?"
"It's fine. Take a seat." After Eric recovered from his confusion, he took out a magic tome and began analyzing the spell with the help of the support magic array. He did not waste any time.
Lucien, on the other hand, was quite calm, because it meant that Bat's Scream had passed the review of Magic Exchange Library. Otherwise, it would only take five minutes for the review to be rejected. Lucien had at least one arcana credit now.
Since Eric was concentrating on his study, Lazar was a bit worried, so the office was a bit quiet.
In this atmosphere, time passed second by second. Lazar's pocket watch was about to cross the boundary of the third last square and enter the last ten minutes. The bell rang and the iron cage lit up with a milky white light.
Eric turned off the auxiliary magic circle and put down his quill. He stood up and shook his head, "Finally."
When the light disappeared, Eric was a bit confused, "Why are there three documents?"
"Bat Scream, apprentice-level spell. Mr. Garfield and Mr. Geoffrey both commented that this is a groundbreaking spell, but there are serious flaws in the structure of the spell, and there are many things that need to be improved. Therefore, three arcana credits and four arcana points are awarded for this spell, including its level, principle, effect, structure, and meaning." Lucien took out a copy and read it carefully.
Eric looked back at Lucien in surprise. "Groundbreaking?" He murmured to himself, "Groundbreaking? Three arcana credits? That's an apprentice-level spell … "
Normally, a new first-circle spell would only be awarded two arcana credits, and Eric knew very well what the word "groundbreaking" meant.
Everyone present was a sorcerer, and their spiritual power was not weak. Both Lazar and Lucien heard Eric's murmur.
"Mr. Eric, are you saying that Evans's new spell was awarded three arcana credits and groundbreaking?" Lazar tilted his head and looked at Eric.
Lucien, on the other hand, was quite calm. He didn't quite understand the meaning of the three arcana credits and groundbreaking, but he thought that since Lucien's new spell could get such a high rating, his paper should be good as well.
Eric had calmed down. After all, it was just an apprentice-level spell, and he didn't know the details. He took a deep look at Lucien and said, "Yes, Evans' apprentice-level spell, Bat's Scream, was awarded three arcana credits and groundbreaking. It's hard to believe."
As he spoke, he threw the document to Lazar.
Lazar caught the document and read it over and over again. He stared at Lucien as if he was looking at a monster, "Is this a spell that mimics bats?"
"Yes," said Lucien, "it's a detection spell that mimics bats."
Lazar put his hand on his forehead and sighed, "I'm so jealous. By the way, Mr. Eric, what are the other two documents? "
Eric was reminded that he still had two documents, so he picked up another one.
The look on his face suddenly froze. When Lazar called him in a low voice, he said in a low voice, "The review result of Evans' arcana paper is out."
"So fast?!" Lazar couldn't believe that the members of the committee were so diligent in reviewing the paper.
The look on Eric's face was a bit bitter, as if he was reminded of the situation when he submitted his first arcana paper.
"Yes, this is the review result. Mr. Garfield's comment was: 'Groundbreaking application of sound waves, rigorous experiment design, amazingly sharp observation and thinking style … This paper is valuable for further research and discussion. Four arcana credits, six arcana credits, and six arcana credits are recommended. Also, the author of the paper is recommended to add letters after his name to distinguish himself from the others.'
Both of them looked at Lucien. They had never seen such a comment from a sorcerer who had just started learning arcana! And they had never seen such a comment on a sorcerer's first arcana paper!
