Chapter 336 Evaluation of the Paper (First Update)
Near the time when the Magic Council headquarters was closed, Lucian came to the Magician Management Department with the revised papers according to the Storm Lord's guidance.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Evans." Katrina, who was standing behind the reception desk, was pleasantly surprised to see Lucian appear.
She is tall and bright, has a good figure, and is full of youth, and has a strong attraction to many unmarried formal magicians, so even if it is close to evening, there are several young men staying in the hall of the magician management department. Some of them pretended to be here tasting wine and leisure, and their every move was extremely elegant, some deliberately exchanged the latest arcane theories, and from time to time popped up words that ordinary people could not understand, so as to show their arcane and magical abilities, and some were bold, simply taking the opportunity to ask to talk to Katrina and the girl beside her, causing other magicians to glare.
After hearing Katrina's voice that was clearly full of joy, they, along with another maiden in charge of the reception, turned their attention to Lucian.
The handsome and quiet face, neat and elegant clothes, and the beautiful and dreamy lilac gemstone ring on the index finger of the right hand instantly caught their eye.
"Then, that's the Holm Crown Ring? Mr. Evans? Lucian Evans?!" They quickly reacted, the one in front of them was one of the two most outstanding among the current generation of young magicians, and it was rumored that he was already a level five arcanist!
So many magicians stood up and saluted, saying respectfully: "Good afternoon, Mr. Evans."
At the same time, they were all speculating in their hearts about the relationship between Lucian and Katrina, according to Katrina's title, the two should have some kind of master and apprentice status, but it was certain that Katrina was not yet an official disciple of Lucian Evans, otherwise she should directly honor her as a teacher without using her surname.
Even so, they were filled with envy for Katrina, and although Lucian Evans was still a mid-level sorcerer, he was already recognized as one of the most promising sorcerers to advance to a higher level. The Holm Crown Prize and several of his papers fully demonstrate his arcane attainments, and the increase in his magic level also shows that his arcane level is not simply a sudden jump, but has deep roots.
Studying with such a teacher, the future is definitely bright, at least it should not be difficult to be promoted to official magician and arcanist - being recommended to this position shows that Katrina's arcane and spiritual talents are outstanding, and what is lacking is the teaching of a good teacher and the accumulation of resources.
Nodding in return to the surrounding magicians, Lucian walked up to Katrina and smiled, "Good afternoon, Katrina, which deacons are there today?"
"Mr. Eric, Mr. David...... It's all there" Katrina said six names in one breath, "Teacher Evans, are you here to submit your paper?"
Lucian nodded slightly: "Yes. The application may have to wait for a while, don't worry, tell others."
"Regardless of whether the application is successful or not, it is a great thing to learn from you." Katrina noticed everyone's envious gaze, and became more and more convinced that the decision she had made was correct and appropriate.
Lucian exchanged a few pleasantries with satisfaction, and walked to the office behind him with a faint smile, naturally targeting his acquaintance Mr. Eric.
The girl in charge of the reception next to Katrina looked at her companion and Mr. Lucian Evans chatting and laughing, and a strong envy and a faint inferiority complex arose in her heart.
Although she is also an excellent graduate of another magic school "Alinge", she has excellent talents in arcane and mental power, and is also beautiful, and has many suitors, but when she first saw Katrina, she felt that she was standing with her, like an immature little girl, discussing arcane and magic, she was even more insightful, and often gave herself the illusion that she had studied for three years in vain. Finally adjusted her mentality and comforted herself that everyone has their own strengths, and seeing such a scene, Katrina's fate immediately rose, and the powerlessness of the gods' love was incomparable.
"Katrina, I didn't expect you to know Mr. Evans, and he is still your teacher?" The girl asked pretending to be nonchalant, her heart with mixed emotions.
Katrina smiled lightly: "Mr. Evans and I came from the opposite side of the continent on the same boat, and I was guided a lot by him on the way, and later I was lucky enough to reunite with him at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and received his arcane tutoring in private."
"This is fate......" The girl sighed softly and said what the other magicians around her wanted to say.
As a girl who was still an underage girl, Katrina still had a little bit of a little girl's mind, and while raising her head slightly to be proud, she couldn't help but show off in her heart: "Teacher Evans is still a disciple of His Excellency the Storm Lord, so I won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"One thousand one hundred and twenty-four arcane points, sixty-five arcane points, Evans, you became a level five arcanist a year earlier than I expected." Eric handed Lucian the badge with five silver stars, still with a suspicious smile on his face, "The development of arcane in recent years has made people feel breathless, and if you slack off a little, you will find that you can't understand the content of the journal."
In the past ten years, in the field of arcane, new discoveries and new theories have emerged dizzyingly, even Lucian, after more than a year of going out, found that the issues discussed by everyone were a bit "advanced".
"Mr. Eric, you have gained a lot in the past year, and the arcane level has been raised to level four." Lucian glanced at Eric's arcane badge and turned into four silver stars.
Hearing Lucian's words, Eric's face seemed to light up: "Evans, I have contributed three of your arcane points. By the way, are you here to submit your paper?"
Lucian didn't mention updating the magic badge, and Eric didn't expect that in just over a year he could go from three rings to close to five rings, so he shifted the topic to the magically treated parchment in Lucian's hand.
"Yes, the inspiration I got from this mission, the paper in the field of illusion." Lucian handed the paper to Eric, looking forward to it, after all, this was his first semi-original paper, and he didn't know what kind of evaluation it would be.
Eric submitted the paper step by step, and then asked with a little curiosity: "Evans, every paper you published has caused a sensation to some extent, I don't know what kind of research this illusion paper is?"
"It mainly verifies that the human brain can produce special electromagnetic waves and cause hormone secretion, causing emotional changes and hallucinations." Now that the paper has been submitted and he has the Storm Master behind him, Lucian has nothing to hide.
Eric said a little surprised: "Is it the precursor to Ms. Isabella's paper? This has caused great controversy in the field of illusion, with some arcanists believing that she can receive the Wizard Lail, but most illusionists feel that the paper lacks deeper research and is not worthy of the laurel. I'm afraid that your paper will also be attacked, but it can be said that it indirectly increases the value of Ms. Isabella's paper. Maybe you can share the crown with her and become the second person in the last century to win the highest honors in two different fields before the senior level."
"If I want to win the crown for this paper, I still lack anything decisive, and I just hope to get a good evaluation result." Lucian was more self-aware, and at the same time half-jokingly said, "I also hope that one day I can win the crown without controversy."
Since the appendix has two "charming humans" magic as evidence, Eric tells Lucian that he will receive the review results about the next day.

「…… When studying photoelectric induction, I found a strange phenomenon that no matter how much the intensity of light below a certain frequency is increased, the metal cannot generate an electric current, which contradicts the pre-derivation......"
The letter Lucian read was written by Edwin Brooke, the great arcanist "Emperor of Control" and "Poetry of the Goddess", to his teacher Fernando, who had noticed the anomaly of the photoelectric effect.
However, since cathode rays have not yet been discovered and determined, he has not yet noticed the nature of photocurrent, but if this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before electrons are discovered.
Thinking of this, Lucian felt more and more the urgency of the establishment of the "Atomic Research Institute": "The arcane development process of the wizarding world is really different from that of the earth, but if it is the same, it will be strange. Well, I have to step up my performance to get the teacher to support me in establishing the Atomic Research Institute, otherwise there will be no enough experimental conditions to complete the experiments I need!"
"Lucian, what do you think of the experiment described by Brooke?" Unsurprisingly, Fernando asked Lucian again for his opinion. He doesn't care if Lucian's thoughts are wrong or naïve, the main thing is to mobilize him to think and give guidance based on his level of knowledge.
Lucian replied very cautiously: "I haven't done this experiment, and I don't know the specific situation, but according to Lord Brooke's description, I can see a problem, perhaps it in a sense shows that Lord Brooke's default derivation basis is wrong."
"It's equivalent to saying nothing...... Maybe this is an opportunity for Douglas." Fernando himself is more inclined to fluctuate theory, but unlike others, he does not blindly believe in either side when many problems cannot be solved.
Then, Fernando explained the experiment to Lucian in detail, but did not ask Lucian to write a reply immediately, but waited until the two had done part of the thermal radiation experiment, sorted out the preliminary data, and wrote it to the letter. At the same time, such data also gave Douglas a copy.
…………
After having lunch at the council headquarters, Lucian went directly to Eric's office to receive the results of the arcane review.
"I'll be back in the morning." Eric still had an old-fashioned and serious expression, "The evaluation is not bad, at least the committee members will not change the evaluation criteria at will because of their own preferences."
Lucian, who was a bit anxious when he received his grades, took the document, wondering how many arcane points he could have in his first semi-original paper.
The file opens and reads:
"Commissioner Augustus commented: 'This paper uses experiments and magic to confirm the existence of the body's spontaneous current and brain electromagnetic waves, and verifies through magic how brain waves affect hormone secretion to cause emotional changes and hallucinations. There are many similar shortcomings.'
"My evaluation result is that this research result pioneered the introduction of electromagnetism into the field of illusion, and has made breakthroughs in incorporating some illusions into the arcane system, which is highly discussable and has a certain importance, but lacks conclusive evidence, and it is recommended to reward 30 arcane points and 300 arcane points." 」
