Except for Rock, Jerome, K, and a few familiar teachers in the same office who would occasionally chat a few words, he had always been quiet and focused, and there was nothing noticeable, but even if he was so low-key, he was complained about, which was inevitably a little depressed and angry for a while.
However, as a person who is used to working hard, how could Lucian give up so easily, admit his mistakes, and after thinking for a while, he said sincerely: "Mr. Principal, I think my method of teaching arcane and magic basics is very effective, and the mastery of ancient magic languages, hell languages, and magical creatures in the 'Thorn Tree' and 'Blood Bird' classes has improved significantly, and their reputation for me is said to be good."
"I know." Donald's answer was short and powerful, and once again to Lucian's surprise, he actually admitted that his teaching method was effective?
After Donald's affirmative evaluation, he changed his subject: "But Lucian, didn't you read the school rules? Apprentices should maintain absolute respect for the magic teacher and classroom order, and the magic teacher should also show enough majesty. And your teaching style encourages apprentices to disrespect the teacher and the classroom order, which is a serious violation of school rules and traditions."
"Many methods may work well, but they are premised on breaking the rules, which we are not allowed, such as a magic item, whether to complete the task yourself or snatch it from the weak, the difficulty of the two is different, we should encourage and teach the apprentice to choose which one?"
"Lucian, I hope you will reflect on yourself and understand these truths."
Lucian suddenly had nothing to say, even if he proposed to punish the apprentices for the assessment results of the three courses, Principal Donald would definitely not accept it, because what he cared about was not the quality of the teaching effect at all, but the maintenance of the strict and clear hierarchical order between apprentices and formal magicians inherited from the ancient magical empire.
Seeing Lucian silent and not speaking, Donald thought he understood the seriousness of the matter, so he smiled and gave a little encouragement: "Lucian, I know that young people are always full of ideas, and there are bad and good things in them.
This is the part that abandons the apprentices' welcome part, leaving only the sea of questions they hate, Lucian rubbed his temples, feeling that he would be made into various cursed items by the apprentices. Even if I just maintain the frequency of practicing every day and testing once a week.
…………
After leaving Donald's office, Roque, who seemed to have heard something, patted Lucian on the shoulder comfortingly: "How is it?"
"Suspension of classes for one month, halving salary, reserving the right to use magic labs, school libraries, and low-priced purchase materials, if you violate it next time, you will automatically resign." Lucian had no idea about the suspension of classes, so he could still concentrate on consolidating after advancing to the second ring, but half of his salary was heartbreaking.
After Roque heard this, he cursed in a low voice: "It's all done by the careful bastards of the electromagnetic Beyat. They also teach the "Thorn Tree" class and the "Blood Bird" class, and the apprentices privately compare them with you, thinking that their basic electromagnetic courses are old-fashioned and serious, uninteresting, and the effect is not good. Later, these evaluations were secretly told to them by some apprentices, who thought that you had brought bad customs and seriously violated school rules, so they went to Principal Donald to complain about you. Bastards, if I find a chance in the future, I will never let them go!"
"So that's how it is." Lucian finally understood the reason for his "unwarranted disaster". Anything new is always resisted by the old order, for better or for worse. At the same time, a little sense of absurdity also made Lucian can't help but scold: "Those guys are really annoying, is it because I have X after my name and my nickname is a professor, I will be hostile to the electromagnetic faction? Beat seemed taciturn, and he didn't expect such a thing to do."
Beat had black hair and black eyes, and an ordinary image appeared in Lucian's mind, but he was able to enter the Douglas School of Magic, and he also had a good level in the field of electromagnetic magic, and was currently a first-class arcanist and a second-ring magician.
Roque walked side by side with Lucian on the stairs of the Magic Tower, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Lucian, you are the coolest and most characterful teacher evaluated by the apprentices. Even if the exercises you assign every day this week make them hate it, they are more popular than I am. But how can you talk nonsense if you don't need to listen or practice in my class, as long as you can pass the final assessment"? Even if you are really doing it and acquiescing, you shouldn't say it. Their complaints are successful mainly because of these words, not your humorous teachings."
"Thank you, Roque, I understand." Lucian nodded slightly, he was a disaster.
Roque put away his serious expression and said with a smile and a little indignation: "Actually, what kind of order and tradition, it's not the big people who have the final say? If Lucian is the Great Arcanist, even if you say such things and teach in this style, would they dare to complain about you? Dare to criticize you for violating tradition and school rules? I'm afraid I will loudly praise Your Excellency Lucian for being open-minded and humorous, not rigid, which has greatly improved the effectiveness of apprenticeship teaching and is a model for us to learn from."
"Haha, Roque, you're so funny, but there is some truth." Lucian laughed.
…………
During the lunch break, Jerome, K, Vernia and other magic teachers all went to the Garden Villa one after another to comfort Lucian and have lunch together.
Lunch had just ended, and Annick, Leiyria, and Heidi, who had heard the penalty decision, hurried over.
To Lucian's surprise, Sprint and Katrina followed them, as well as the squad leader Grant and a beautiful quiet girl that Lucian didn't know, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with unique seaweed green hair.
"Mr. Evans......" Annick, Heidi, and Leilia wanted to comfort Lucian, but they didn't know what to say, so they held back for a long time, and they said together, "We will always support you!"
Sprint lowered his head, his dark red hair swayed slightly, as if nodding, and Katrina and Grant also clenched their fists and waved their fists like Annick and the others: "Mr. Evans, we think your lecture is great and will always support you!"
After saying that, Grant muttered softly: "It would be better if I didn't leave practice every day."
"Thank you, I'll be back in class soon." Lucian did not encourage them to fight for themselves, because in a serious traditional magic school, as long as they did this, they would definitely be expelled.
After a few casual chats, Heidi suddenly said: "Mr. Evans, a few of our magic apprentices are from the other side of the Storm Strait, and there is still a big gap between us and the apprentices here in the subtleties of arcane and magic basics. You happen to have a month of free time, can you take some time to guide us?"
"We won't let you, Mr. Evans, guide you in vain, these days some of the small things we successfully refined in our alchemy class have been recycled by the school and saved some silver nar!" Leilia added childishly.
"Take time, tutoring? Arcane cram school?" Lucian suddenly felt ridiculous.
Annick, Heidi, Leilia, and Katrina nodded seriously: "Yes, please Mr. Evans, please help us tutor."
Before Lucian could answer, K on the side smiled and said: "Lucian, they can find their own shortcomings and have the courage to look for opportunities, which is very admirable. If you are free, why not help them? I have time, and I will also guide you."
"Well, every night I have to do experiments, and during the day you have to take classes and practice magic, so it's fixed on Saturday afternoon. And how could I have the cheek to ask for money from your children? You can become a full-fledged magician is the best reward!" After Lucian received help from K, he also consciously wanted to do something to give back to the society, anyway, he had a lot of time this month.
"But arcane cram school is really giving back to the society, isn't it revenge on the society?" Lucian thought divergently, and then said, "What are you coming?"
"I, me." Heidi raised her hand, and Leilia and Annick nodded excitedly.
Katrina's cheeks turned red, but she boldly looked Lucian in the eye: "Mr. Evans, I want to participate too."
"I want to ...... too" Splinter's voice was very weak, and he could see that his side face and ears were red.
Grant shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Evans, I think I can still keep up with others...... He has always been the leader.
The other beautiful and quiet girl kept glancing at Heidi, looking eager.
Heidi suddenly pointed at her and said, "Mr. Evans, this is Cherie from the 'Seagull' class, my roommate with Leilia. She was just able to meditate and couldn't understand most of the courses, so she wanted to come to tutor."
"Cherie?" Lucian looked at the girl in surprise, and from her hair color, could it be the Miss Cherie he met on a sailboat? If yes. The relationship between Viscount Wright and the Magic Council is intriguing.
Cherie probably understood Lucian's surprise and nodded slightly: "Yes."
She was quiet and calm, and didn't say a word.
Lucian held his forehead and thought: "Magic apprentice, knight attendant, dedicated to Sylvia, is really a suitable couple, I hope they have a good result."
When Lucian nodded and agreed to Cheri's request, Roque, who had gone out after lunch, ran back, looking very excited: "Lucian, Lucian, your arcane thesis has been quoted by His Excellency the Great Arcanist! The first article of the journal "Magic"!"
All the magic teachers in the living room stood up, and Grant, who understood the importance of "magic" and the high status of the Great Arcanist, also stared at Lucian with wide eyes, Mr. Evans' paper would actually be quoted by His Excellency the Great Arcanist?! He doesn't even have an official arcanist level yet!
Lucian himself was also surprised, why was his paper cited when it was only published by "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly"?
"Lucian, look, it's the first one!" Roque handed the open journal in his hand to Lucian.
Lucian took a look, the title was "Some Discussions on the Application of Electromagnetic Waves in Magic", author: Fernando Barista, Great Arcanist, Legendary Profession "Storm Master" Level 3.
At the beginning of his completely unformatted paper, he wrote: "My student Tang Pu is a member of the Affairs Committee, and when he reviewed the application together, he found a very interesting paper, a magician who has not yet been officially an arcanist has proved that high-frequency sound waves have the ability to locate and detect through simple and rigorous bat experiments. After I saw this paper, I was inspired that we can't limit magic to the realm of pure electricity or pure magnetism, electromagnetic waves should also have magical effects."
"High-frequency sound waves have the ability to locate and detect, so what are the capabilities of high-frequency electromagnetic waves? What about low-frequency electromagnetic waves?"
"They are also waves, sound waves can transmit sound information, but what about electromagnetic waves?"
"Next, let's use magic experiments to explore."
Lucian couldn't help but open his mouth a little, this great arcanist's associative ability is too perverted, many of the applications he prepared to cheat points in the future were actually thought of by him!
A future where electromagnetic wave applications flourish seems to have unfolded before Lucian's eyes.
But after sighing, Lucian suddenly became vigilant and was named by the Great Arcanist in the paper, does that mean that he will arouse the curiosity of more magicians? Would they care about their names and the reasons for not having an official Arcanist rank?
