When the Headquarters of the Magic Council was about to be closed, Lucien came to the Sorcerer Administrative Department with the paper edited by the Lord of Storm.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Evans." Katrina, who was standing behind the reception desk, was pleasantly surprised to see Lucien.
Katrina was tall, beautiful, and young. She was very attractive to many unmarried sorcerers. Therefore, even though it was almost evening, there were still several young men in the hall of the Sorcerer Administrative Department. Some of them pretended that they were enjoying the wine here, and their every movement was elegant and graceful. Some purposely exchanged the latest arcana theories and used words that ordinary people could not understand to show their arcana and magic abilities. Some of them were bolder and simply took the opportunity to talk to Katrina and the girl next to her, making the other sorcerers glare at them angrily.
Hearing Katrina's voice, they all turned to Lucien, including the girl who was in charge of the reception.
Lucien's handsome face, neat and elegant clothes, as well as the beautiful purple ring on his right index finger, attracted their attention.
"That … That's the Holm Crown ring? Mr. Evans? Lucien Evans?! " They soon realized that Lucien was one of the two most outstanding young sorcerers of the current generation, and it was said that he was already a level five arcanist!
Therefore, many sorcerers stood up and bowed to Lucien, "Good afternoon, Mr. Evans."
At the same time, they were all guessing the relationship between Lucien and Katrina. According to the way Katrina addressed Lucien, Lucien and Katrina should be master and disciple to some extent. However, they were sure that Katrina was not Lucien Evans' formal disciple yet, or she would call him master directly.
Even so, they were still jealous of Katrina. Although Lucien Evans was still a middle-rank sorcerer, he was already recognized as one of the most promising senior-rank sorcerers. The Holm Crown prize and his several papers had fully demonstrated his attainments in arcana, and the improvement of his magic level also meant that his arcana level was not just a sudden jump, but a solid foundation.
Learning from such a teacher would definitely have a bright future. At the very least, it should not be difficult for Katrina to become an official sorcerer or arcanist. The fact that Katrina was recommended to this position meant that her arcana and spiritual power talents were both outstanding. What she lacked was a good teacher and a good accumulation of resources.
Nodding to the sorcerers around, Lucien walked to Katrina and said with a smile, "Good afternoon, Katrina. Who are the deacons today?"
"Mr. Eric, Mr. David... are all here," Katrina said six names in one breath. "Mr. Evans, are you here to submit your paper?"
Lucien nodded slightly. "Yes. The application may take some time. Don't worry, tell the others about it. "
"Regardless of whether the application is successful or not, it's a great thing to be able to learn from you." Katrina sensed that the sorcerers were looking at her enviously, and she believed that she had made the right decision. If she did not fight for such an opportunity, she would regret it very much in the future.
Lucien chatted with Katrina for a while, and then he walked to the office in the back with a faint smile. Of course, his target was Mr. Eric.
Seeing that her friend was chatting with Mr. Lucien Evans so casually, the girl who was responsible for the reception beside Katrina felt a strong sense of jealousy and a faint sense of inferiority.
Although she was also an excellent graduate of another magic school, Allyn, and was also very talented in arcana and spiritual power, and she also had a lot of admirers, when she saw Katrina for the first time, she felt like an immature little girl standing next to her. When they talked about arcana and magic, Katrina's insights were even more profound, and the girl often had the illusion that she had wasted three years of her study. It wasn't easy for me to adjust my mental state and comfort myself that everyone had their own strengths. However, when I saw such a scene, I instantly felt that Katrina was favored by fate and that the Gods loved her. I couldn't compare to her at all.
"Katrina, I didn't expect you to know Mr. Evans, and he's also your teacher." The girl pretended that nothing had happened, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.
Katrina put on a relaxed smile. "Mr. Evans and I came from the other side of the continent on the same ship. He taught me a lot on the way, and then I was lucky enough to meet him again in Douglas Magic School, where he taught me arcana in private."
"That's fate …" The girl sighed and said what the sorcerers around her wanted to say.
As a young girl, Katrina still had the mentality of a little girl. She slightly raised her head and bragged in her mind, "Mr. Evans is also the disciple of the Lord of Storm. I won't tell anyone about this."
…
"One thousand one hundred and twenty-four arcana credits and sixty-five arcana points. Evans, you've become a level five arcanist one year earlier than I expected." Eric handed the badge with five silver stars to Lucien, and there was still a smile on his face. "The development of arcana in the past few years has made me feel breathless. If I slack off a bit, I'll find that I can't understand the contents of the journals anymore."
In the past ten years, new discoveries and theories had been made in the field of arcana. Even Lucien, who had been away for more than a year, found that the topics discussed by the sorcerers were a bit ahead of their time.
"Mr. Eric, you've also gained a lot in the past year. Your arcana level has already reached level four." Lucien glanced at Eric's arcana badge and noticed that there were now four silver stars on it.
Hearing Lucien's words, Eric's face lit up, "Evans, I've contributed three arcana credits to you. By the way, are you here to submit your paper? "
Lucien didn't mention anything about upgrading his magic badge, and Eric also didn't expect that he could reach the fifth circle from the third circle within a year. Therefore, he changed the topic to the parchment in Lucien's hand.
"Yeah, I got the inspiration from this mission. It's a paper in the field of Illusion." Lucien handed the paper to Eric, feeling quite excited. After all, this was his first semi-original paper, and he didn't know what kind of comments he would get from Eric.
Eric submitted the paper step by step, and then asked curiously, "Evans, every paper you've published has more or less caused a sensation. I wonder what kind of research is this paper about?"
"It's mainly about how the human brain can produce special electromagnetic waves, which can lead to the secretion of hormones, emotional changes and hallucinations." Since Lucien had already submitted the paper, and he had the support of the Lord of Storm, there was no need for him to hide it.
Eric was a bit surprised, "Is this the prelude to Ms. Isabella's paper? This has caused a lot of controversy in the field of Illusion. Some arcanists thought that Ms. Isabella's paper could win the Laurel of Sorcerer, but most of them didn't think that her paper deserved the Laurel. I'm afraid that your paper will also be attacked, but at least you've indirectly increased the value of Ms. Isabella's paper. Maybe you can share the Laurel with her and become the second person in the past hundred years who won the highest honor in two different fields before reaching the senior-rank. "
"If I want to win the Laurel of Sorcerer, I still lack something decisive. I just hope that I can get a good result." Lucien knew that, and he said half-jokingly, "I also hope that one day I can win the Laurel without any controversy."
Eric told Lucien that he would receive the result the next day, since there were two spells in the appendix, Charm Person, as the proof.
…
"… When I was studying photoelectric induction, I found a strange phenomenon. For light with a frequency lower than a certain frequency, no matter how hard I tried to increase its intensity, I could not make the metal produce electric current. This contradicts my previous deduction …"
The letter that Lucien was reading was from Edwin Brook, the Emperor of Control and the Poem of Goddess, to his teacher, Fernando. Lucien had already noticed the anomaly of the photoelectric effect.
However, since cathode ray had not been discovered yet, Lucien had not noticed the nature of photoelectric current yet. But at this rate, it was only a matter of time before he discovered the electron.
Thinking about this, Lucien felt that he needed to establish the Atom Institution more and more. The development of arcana in the magic world was indeed quite different from that on Earth, but it would be strange if they were the same. Lucien had to work harder so that Fernando would support me in establishing the Atom Institution, or he wouldn't have enough conditions to complete the experiment that I need.
"Lucien, what do you think about the experiment that Brook described?" As expected, Fernando asked Lucien's opinion again. He did not care whether Lucien's idea was wrong or naïve. What mattered most was that Lucien should think and give him some guidance according to his knowledge level.
Lucien answered very cautiously, "I've never done this experiment, so I don't know the details. But according to Mr. Brook's description, I can see a problem. Maybe it means that Mr. Brook's deduction is wrong."
"It means that he didn't say anything … Maybe this is an opportunity for Douglas." Fernando himself was more inclined to the wave theory, but unlike other people, he would not blindly believe any side when he could not solve many problems.
Then, Fernando explained the experiment to Lucien in detail. However, he did not ask Lucien to write a reply right away. Instead, he waited until they finished part of the thermal radiation experiment and sorted out the preliminary data and wrote it in the letter. In the meantime, he also gave Douglas a copy of the data.
…
After lunch in the headquarter of the Congress, Lucien went directly to Eric's office to get the arcana review result.
"They came back in the morning." Eric's face was still serious, "The review is not bad. At least the members of the Congress won't change the review standard for their own preferences."
Lucien took over the file and wondered how many arcana credits he could get for his first semi-original paper.
Lucien opened the file and read:
"Mr. Augustus commented, 'This paper proves the existence of natural electric currents and electromagnetic waves in the brain through experiments and magic. It also proves how brain waves affect hormone secretion, which leads to emotional changes and hallucinations. The structure of the paper is rigorous and the logic is clear. However, there are not enough brain waves for comparison. It is hard to believe that only a few kinds of brain waves can produce such complicated emotional changes. Even the author of the paper has expressed his regret in this regard. There are many other similar shortcomings. '
'My comment is that this paper has pioneered the introduction of electromagnetism into the field of illusion, and it has made a breakthrough in incorporating part of illusion into the arcana system. This paper is highly debatable and important, but there is no conclusive evidence. I suggest that thirty arcana credits and three hundred arcana points be rewarded.'
