"Mr. Evans' record is unbreakable. Mr. Brook was in his forties when he became a grand arcanist …" Another lady, Patricia, had blonde hair and blue eyes. She looked like Katrina's sister. Her voice was full of admiration and admiration. "Mr. Evans, you're a grand arcanist now. Mr. Brook's record will never be broken again …" Patricia's voice was full of admiration and admiration.
Katrina was woken up by her friends' words. With a brilliant and excited smile, she said, "As a matter of fact, after 'new alchemy' was proposed, we had been speculating when our teacher would become a grand arcanist. The general consensus was that he would be around thirty. Hehe. Even so, our teacher's record would've been too astounding for us to catch up. But as it turned out, he was only twenty-six. Twenty-six …"
Because they met their teacher when they were thirteen, the age gap between them was like a generation. Therefore, they had always regarded him as a senior. Later, they became his students, and naturally, they respected and feared him even more. Also, their teacher was mature and steady. It was hard for them to remember his real age when they spent time with him. After Lucien's identity as a musician was revealed, he had changed his age back.
It was not until today, when they heard that he had won the title of grand arcanist that they suddenly remembered that he was only twenty-six! They were almost twenty-two years old, and they only had a chance to become a middle-rank sorcerer. They were of the same generation, but the gap between them was so huge that they could only look at his back in admiration!
"Haha. I'm a grand arcanist's student now!" Heidi was relatively simple and straightforward. She did not disguise her pride at all.
Lanka, who had black hair, looked at Heidi, Layria and the rest of them with complicated feelings and said with a smile, "Mr. Evans must've had his own legendary class. Perhaps in ten years, you will be a legendary sorcerer's student."
"With Mr. Evans' talents and abilities, he will advance to the peak of legendary in forty years at most," Patricia said with a smile. Patricia congratulated them with a smile. "By then, with his guidance and help, you will have reached the advanced level. Don't forget about us, your friends."
In the Congress of Magic, the reason why grand arcanists were more important than legendary sorcerers was that with this title, they would be able to enter the realm of legends in the future. Also, they would have fewer obstacles than regular sorcerers, and it would be easier for them to become top figures.
"In fact, it doesn't make any difference now. Teacher's guidance won't change …" Layria said in delight. But in her mind, she thought that maybe the problem sets and exercises would be even crazier.
Patricia forgot to drink the black tea. "How can there be no difference? Now that Mr. Evans has become a grand arcanist, it will be much more convenient for you to do anything. For example, the hidden dangers of the annual compulsory missions are almost gone. When other magicians are exchanging items or rewards, they will definitely choose you if the conditions are the same. Sometimes, they would even be willing to suffer a little loss … These hidden benefits will fill every corner of your lives. "
"But it doesn't change our teacher's strictness. The monthly progress report, the 'mountain' of exercises, the piles of papers, and the repetitive and boring magic exercises … I feel dizzy just thinking about it." Chelly rubbed her forehead. Thankfully, she was nourished by love and was not as exhausted as before. After all, she was not as talented as Katrina, Heidi, and Layria. She was not selected by the Congress but entered the magic school through connections. So, she had to make up for it with her hard work.
"I'd rather suffer like that." Lanka blurted out. Then, she covered her complicated feelings with a smile. "I'm saying that many sorcerers and apprentices are willing to accept Mr. Evans' tutelage and bear the pain for you. Their number is enough to circle Allyn multiple times. You must cherish it."
Heidi nodded solemnly. "Although we complain, we never stop trying. Meeting our teacher and becoming his student is the luckiest thing in our lives right now. We must not squander our luck."
"Well said." Katrina and Layria looked at Heidi in surprise. Heidi, who was so lively and carefree, could also be so serious?
After being serious, Heidi put on a hideous smile and clenched her fists. "So, after I become a senior-rank sorcerer and have my own students, I will let them understand what 'luck' is, what Evans' analysis exercises are, and what puzzles are. No, I can't just let my students' enjoy 'it. I have to promote it to the magic school and the middle-rank and low-rank arcanists! It's only when everyone is happy that they are happy! "
The smiles on Katrina and the other sorcerers' faces froze. Was that what their teacher meant by 'benefiting society'?
Patricia's eyes glittered. "Heidi, you want to promote the exercises that Mr. Evans taught you in the future? Can you let me have a try first? I'm very curious about the exercises that intimidate you so much. "
Patricia had always been craving for the guidance that they received. However, such private lectures were the secrets of every teacher, and it was very likely that they would lose their friendship if she asked recklessly. Therefore, she had to hold back her desire. Now that Heidi had mentioned it voluntarily, she naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to test her.
Heidi thought for a moment. Her teacher said that he would compile the exercises into official books in the future. So, she said with a creepy smile, "Do you want to have a try? I'm very strict. They must be completed on time! "
"Can I really have a try? I'm willing to do it however strict you are! "Patricia said in delight.
Lanka followed. "Can I have a try, too?" Her voice was shivering.
The other ladies expressed the same desire. Katrina and the other sorcerers, on the other hand, were full of sympathy.
When Heidi sorted out the preliminary exercises, Lanka said in both satisfaction and sadness, "Why did we enter the Alburg Magic School at the beginning? If we had met you earlier, our lives would've been completely different …" They wouldn't have struggled to become official sorcerers until now.
"Our teacher said that this is an era of change. Whoever is less bound by the views of the past and not limited by the intuition will gain a lot of glory and improve their strength rapidly. So, you still have a lot of opportunities. This era has just begun." Layria encouraged them.
Patricia nodded solemnly. "Mr. Evans is right. Perhaps that's why most of the breakthroughs in the past ten years were made by young arcanists, such as Felipe, Larry, Ulysses, Jurisian, Jerome, and you, who have already won the Silver Moon medal, the highest honor in the field of electromagnetism."
"We were just lucky. Although young people are less bound by the experience of the past, it's hard for them to make good achievements without a solid foundation. The accumulation of knowledge is the foundation, and it can't be neglected." Katrina reminded them, "Those seasoned arcanists, after digesting the achievements in the past ten years, may change their way of thinking and their understanding of the world, bursting out unimaginable sparks of wisdom. We must not underestimate them."
"The Congress has decided to establish an award that represents the highest honor in arcana and magic. The standard will be stricter than the Holm Crown prize. The prize will be a level-eight perfect-rank item. Because of the sponsorship of Mr. Evans, the award has been named the Evans Prize. It is divided into the Evans Prize in Arcana, which represents the laws of the world and the mysteries of matter and energy. It represents …"
"Evans Prize in Arcana, Magic, Mathematics, and Medicine. I wonder who will be the first to win it …" Heidi, Chelly, and the rest of them looked at the magic radio with great desire.
… …
"… Today, Mr. President, on behalf of the Highest Council, has awarded Mr. Lucien Evans the title of grand arcanist in recognition of his world-changing contributions to the new alchemy. The compliments for him are …"
In the magic radio, Nightingale's sweet voice, Lark's crisp voice, and the other broadcasters read the news in their magnetic, deep, and old voices.
"The youngest grand arcanist in history, and perhaps the youngest legendary sorcerer …" Gaston, who had dark yellow eyes, broke the weird silence in the library and sighed softly. "Who could've foreseen that the first-circle sorcerer I met years ago would become a grand arcanist? When he verified the periodic table of elements, I only appreciated his potential and thought that he could become a senior-rank sorcerer in the future. Hehe. As it turned out, when my arcana and my magic were only improved by one level, he was already completely different from before … The eighth grand arcanist, Mr. Evans … "
Eight years was like one year for an ordinary person for a senior-rank sorcerer.
Larry, who was sitting opposite him, smiled helplessly. "A few years ago, I was very envious of him. I was even a bit jealous in private. But now, both envy and jealousy are gone. I've found the wrong target. We are not on the same level at all. I can't even see his back anymore. I can only sigh in admiration."
"It's good to know yourself, but you can't feel inferior. The new alchemy and the relativistic system have opened the gate of a new era for us. There must be countless mysteries ahead. As long as we explore them dutifully, we will achieve great things in the future. "Gaston comforted his student with a smile.
Larry nodded in agreement. "I'm going to study the orbits and arrangements of electrons in the new alchemy."
"Me too." Gaston was satisfied with his student's keenness.
… …
In Heidler City …
Listening to the broadcast on the magic radio, Felipe looked out of the window absentmindedly like a wax statue.
"Grand arcanist … Grand arcanist …" The same word, but different emotions. Felipe was confused and frustrated at first, but then his pride and fighting will were refreshed. He could not be left too far behind.
"Lucien once said that his future improvements would be based on the diffraction of X-rays …" Felipe decided to study electromagnetism and Light-darkness on his own instead of waiting for Lucien to make further improvements to the magnification spell. Only by doing it himself could he meet his needs.
… …
In a desert near the coastline of the north, there was an unusually secret cave that was decorated comfortably and glamorously.
Sitting on the couch, Kritonia listened to the magic radio solemnly. "Lucien Evans has become a grand arcanist. Chances are that he will advance into legendary in a couple of years …"
With his level-three legendary strength, he didn't need to hide so well, but Hathaway, who was at the peak of legendary in the Hoffenberg royal family, forced him to keep a low profile and be cautious.
At this moment, the fire burning in the fireplace suddenly grew into the shape of a human being.
"The Original Fire." Kritonia sensed it the moment the fire changed. He secretly praised the mysteriousness of the sorcerers with ancient heritages. The Original Fire was only level-one legendary, yet it could fool his intuition and not be discovered until it was close.
Although it wouldn't expose him to an ambush, it was still very alarming.
A coarse voice came from the fire. "He has become a grand arcanist. We have to plan our operation as soon as possible. If we delay it for six or seven years, we will be faced with legendary sorcerers, which will be much more difficult."
"However, we have to wait until the Congress of Magic is less vigilant." Kritonia nodded.
… …
In Babel, Lucien received Natasha's electromagnetic message.
"I heard the radio. You have become a grand arcanist. Does it mean that you don't need to cooperate with the review of your paper anymore?" Natasha said delightedly.
Lucien smiled. "You want me to go to Renstadt?"
"Hehe. You just ruined the pope's scheme a few days ago. It will be very dangerous outside of Allyn. Also, I've been curious about your Atom Institution and your magic tower for a long time. So, I'm coming to Allyn tomorrow!" Natasha knew the situation very well.
Lucien chuckled. He was planning to discuss the school, the labor laws, and Kritonia with her, and she came to him cooperatively.
"Am I not welcome?" Hearing Lucien's laughter, Natasha joked.
Lucien replied with a smile, "Of course you're welcome. My friends and students have long wanted to meet Her Majesty. I have something to discuss with you, too."
