Lucien did not expect to encounter such a thing. He concentrated on magic experiments and analysis of magic. Except for the occasional chat between Rock, Jerome, K and a few familiar teachers in the same office, he was always quiet and calm. He is focused and not eye-catching, but even though he is so low-key, he is still being complained about. It is inevitable that he will be a little depressed and angry for a while.
However, as a person who is used to working hard, how could Lucien give up so easily and admit his mistakes? After thinking about it, he said sincerely: "Mr. Principal, I think my method of teaching the basics of arcana and magic is very effective, 'thorn tree.' The level of knowledge of ancient magical languages, infernal language, and common knowledge about magical creatures in both the class and the 'Bloodbird' class has improved significantly, and their evaluation of my style is said to be good."
"I know." Donald's answer was short and powerful, which once again surprised Lucien. He actually admitted that his teaching method was effective?
After Donald affirmed his evaluation, he changed the topic: "But Lucien, 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 dignity. But your teaching style is... Encouraging apprentices to disrespect teachers and classroom order is a serious violation of school rules and tradition."
"Many methods may be very effective, but they are based on breaking the rules, which we do not allow. For example, whether a magic item is obtained by completing the task yourself, or snatched from the hands of the weak, the difficulty of the two is different. Likewise, which one should we encourage and teach our apprentices to choose?"
"Lucien, I hope you will reflect hard and understand these truths."
Lucien was speechless. Even if he proposed to compare the apprentices' assessment results of three courses and then punish them, Principal Donald would definitely not accept it, because what he cares about is not the teaching effect at all, but the inheritance. The maintenance of a strict and distinct hierarchical order between apprentices and official magicians in the ancient magic empire. Although old-fashioned, it is indeed in line with the conditions of this world, so its infinite rise is impeccable.
Seeing that Lucien was silent, Donald thought he understood the seriousness of the matter, so he smiled and gave some encouragement: "Lucien, I know that young people are always full of ideas, some of which are bad and some good, like you I really like the method of strengthening the practice of test questions, and decided to promote it throughout the magic school."
This is to abandon the welcome part of the apprentices. Only the Tihai tactics they hate are left. Lucien rubbed his temples, feeling that he would be turned into various cursed items by the apprentices. Even if he just kept practicing every day, Test once a week.

After leaving Donald's office, Rock came over as if he had heard something and patted Lucien on the shoulder comfortingly: "How is it?"
"Suspended for one month, and your salary will be halved. You will retain the right to use the magic laboratory, the school library and purchase materials at low prices. If you violate it again next time, you will automatically resign." Lucien had no idea about the suspension, so that he could still I focus on consolidating myself after advancing to the second ring, but half the salary is heartbreaking.
After hearing this, Rock cursed in a low voice: "It's all done by those small-minded bastards from the electromagnetic system Beate. They also teach the 'Thorn Tree' class and the 'Bloodbird' class, and they were secretly taken away by the apprentices. Let’s compare with you. I felt that their electromagnetic basic courses were rigid and boring, and the results were not good. Later, these comments were secretly told to them by some apprentices. They thought that you had ruined the atmosphere and seriously violated the school rules, so they went to Donald The principal is filing a complaint against you. Assholes, if I find an opportunity in the future, I will never let them go!"
"So that's it." Lucien finally understood the origin of his "unreasonable disaster". Any new thing is always resisted by the old order. No matter whether it is good or bad. At the same time, Lucien couldn't help but feel a little sense of absurdity.
Criticism: "Those guys are really annoying. Do I have to be hostile to the electromagnetic faction just because my name is "x" and my nickname is "professor"? Beate seems to be taciturn. I would never expect to do such a thing."
Beate has black hair and black eyes, and an ordinary image appeared in Lucien's mind. However, he was able to enter Douglas Magic School and he also has a good level in the field of electromagnetic magic. He is currently a first-level arcanist and a second-level magician.
division.
Rock and Lucien were walking side by side on the stairs of the magic tower. He said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Lucien, you are rated by the apprentices as the coolest and most personable teacher. Even if the exercises you assign every day this week make
They hate it very much, and their popularity exceeds mine. But if you say, "I don't need to listen to lectures or practice in my class, as long as I can pass the final assessment," how can you just talk nonsense? Even if you are really doing it, in
You should not say it out loud if you acquiesce to it. The reason why their complaint was successful was mainly because of these words, not your humorous teachings."
"Thank you, Rock, I understand." Lucien nodded slightly, thinking that this was his own disaster.
Roque put away his serious expression and said with a smile and a bit of indignation: "Actually, what kind of order and what traditions are not decided by the big shots? If Lucien, you are the great arcanist, even if you say such words and use this
Do they dare to complain about your teaching style? Do they dare to criticize you for violating tradition and school rules? I am afraid they will loudly praise His Excellency Grand Arcanist Lucien for his enlightened humor and lack of rigidity, which has greatly improved the effectiveness of apprentice teaching. It is us
A role model for learning.”
"Haha, Rock, you are so funny, but there is a point." Lucien laughed.
…………
When it was lunch break, Jerome, K, Vernia and other magic teachers came to the garden villa one after another to comfort Lucien and have lunch together.
Lunch had just ended when Annick, Leylia and Heidi hurried over after hearing the punishment decision.
What surprised Lucien was that Splinter and Katrina were also following them, as well as monitor Grant and a beautiful and quiet girl whom Lucien didn't know. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old and had unique seaweed green hair.
hair.
"Mr. Evans..." Annick, Heidi and Leylia wanted to comfort Lucien, but they didn't know what to say. After holding back for a long time, they said together, "We will always support you!"
Splinter lowered his head, his dark red hair swaying slightly. He seemed to be nodding, while Katrina and Grant also imitated Annick and the others and clenched their fists and waved: "Mr. Evans, we think your lecture is great.
Yes, I will always support you!”
After speaking, Grant muttered in a low voice: "It would be better if we didn't practice every day."
"Thank you, I will return to class soon." Lucien did not encourage them to fight for themselves, because in a serious and traditional magic school, they would definitely be expelled if they did so.
The majesty of magic schools and official magicians for a long time also prevented Grant and others from having this idea. After a few casual chats, Heidi suddenly said: "Mr. Evans, several of our magic apprentices come from across the Storm Strait, in Austria.
There is still a big gap between the subtleties of magic and the basics of magic and the apprentices here. It is quite difficult to learn and analyze magic every day. I feel like I can't catch up. You just have a month to spare, can you spare some time to guide us?
"
"We won't let your guidance go in vain, Mr. Evans. Some of the small things we successfully refined in the alchemy class these days were recycled by the school and saved some silver!" Leylia childishly added.
"Take some time, cram school? Arcane cram school?" Lucien suddenly felt ridiculous.
Annick, Heidi, Leylia, and Katrina nodded seriously: "Yes, please help us with tutoring, Mr. Evans."
Before Lucien could answer, K on the side smiled honestly and said: "Lucien. They are able to discover 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
I will give you some guidance when I have time."
"Okay, I have to do experiments every night, and you have to take classes and practice magic during the day, so it will be fixed on Saturday afternoon. And why would I be so shameless as to ask for money from you kids? It would be best for you to become official magicians.
Reward!" After receiving K's help, Lucien also consciously wanted to do something to give back to the society. Anyway, he had a lot of time this month.
"But the arcane cram school is really giving back to the society. Isn't it taking revenge on the society?" Lucien thought divergently, and then asked, "What's coming?"
"Me, me." Heidi raised her hand, and Leylia and Annick also nodded excitedly.
Katrina's cheeks turned red, but she boldly looked directly into Lucien's eyes: "Mr. Evans, I want to participate too."
"I want it too..." Splinter's voice was very weak, and you could see that his side face and ears were already 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 pretty and quiet girl kept looking at Heidi with an anxious expression.
Heidi suddenly understood, pointed at her and said: "Mr. Evans, this is Cherry from the Seagull class, my and Leia's roommate. She has just been able to meditate and can't understand most of the courses, so she also wants to come for tutoring.
"
"Cherry?" Lucien looked at the girl in surprise. Judging from her hair color, was she the Miss Cherry he met on the sailboat? If so, Viscount Wright's relationship with the Magic Council would be intriguing.
.
Cherry probably understood Lucien's surprise and nodded slightly: "Yes."
She was quiet and calm, and didn't say a word.
Lucien held his forehead and thought: "The magic apprentice and the knight's squire are dedicated to Sylvia. They are such a fitting couple. I hope they will have a good outcome."
When Lucien nodded and agreed to Cherry's request, Rock, who had gone out after lunch, ran back with a very excited expression: "Lucien, Lucien, your arcane paper was quoted by the Grand Arcanist! "Magic"
"The first article in the journal!"
All the magic teachers in the living room stood up. Grant, who understood the importance of "Magic" and the lofty status of the Grand Arcanist, also looked at Lucien with wide eyes. Mr. Evans's paper was actually cited by His Excellency the Grand Arcanist?! He
There is no official arcanist level yet!
Lucien himself was equally surprised. The Ordinary Arcanist Monthly was only published, so why was his paper quoted?
"Lucien, look at it, it's the first article!" Rock handed the opened journal to Lucien.
Lucien took it and took a look. The title was "Some Discussions on the Application of Electromagnetic Waves in Magic". The author: Fernando Balista, Grand Arcanist, Level 3 of the legendary profession "Storm Master".
And at the beginning of his completely unformatted essay, he wrote: "My student Tang Pu is a member of the Affairs Committee. When he was reviewing the application together, he found an interesting essay. A person who has not yet had the official level of arcanist
The magician proved through a simple and rigorous bat experiment that high-frequency sound waves have the ability to locate and detect. After I saw this paper, I inspired some inspiration. We cannot limit magic to the realm of pure electricity or pure magnetism. Electromagnetic waves should
It also has miraculous effects.”
"High-frequency sound waves have the ability to locate and detect, but what capabilities do high-frequency electromagnetic waves have? What about low-frequency electromagnetic waves?"
"They are both waves. Sound waves can transmit sound information, but what about electromagnetic waves?"
"Next let's explore it using magic experiments."
Lucien couldn't help but open his mouth a little. This great arcanist's ability to associate is so abnormal. He actually thought of many applications that he planned to use to cheat points in the future!
A future with vigorous development of electromagnetic wave applications seems to be unfolding before Lucien's eyes.
But after sighing, Lucien suddenly became alert. Being named by the Grand Arcanist in the paper did that mean that he would arouse the curiosity of more magicians? Will they care about his name and the reason why he does not have an official arcanist level?
