Moreover, this also serves as Academic State's compensation for the previous "little unpleasantness."
"Gladly at your service!" Kegi nodded seriously, imdiately taking out a notebook and feather pen for recording, "May I ask what your research topic is?"
Luo Yan thought for a mont, then smiled and uttered a word he just ca up with.
"——Magic Science."
Kegi's hand holding the pen paused for a mont.
He understood the term "Magic," but what is "Science"?
Is it so sort of lost Ancient Magic School?
A trace of bewildernt appeared on his face, but his good professional conduct prevented him from asking more, so he hurriedly nodded and noted down this novel concept.
Approval is the council's concern; as an assistant, he doesn't need to worry about such matters.
"I understand, Your Highness! I will handle it for you right away!"
"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."
Luo Yan smiled as he took out a piece of Demon Crystal, placing it in the ecstatic Kegi's hand as a tip for providing information and guiding him around.
Just a single Demon Crystal could excite him so much, it was truly demanding for these little mages who served the sages as dogs.
...
A few days later, Prince Colin's second "Science class" arrived as scheduled.
The number of people in the large lecture hall was fewer than last ti, although it was still fully seated, the exaggerated scene of crowding the corridors was finally absent.
Obviously, so students who purely joined the commotion or were not interested in "Prince Colin's tricks" had automatically withdrawn.
Those who remained were truly curious and had a thirst for knowledge, or else were determined to earn credits or win over Prince Colin himself.
Before the class started, the assistant returned the already graded assignnts to everyone, with the scores written on the scrolls.
Looking at the assignnt in hand, Skein was slightly stunned.
Sixty points.
Although he anticipated that Prince Colin's assignnt wouldn't be that simple, he didn't expect that Professor Arist's answer barely reached the passing mark.
It seed that even the venerable "president" could have monts of oversight...
He could only rely on himself.
Skein smiled and shook his head, placing the failed scroll aside.
He decided to listen attentively to the lecture in the upcoming class, carefully examining what "Science" ant according to this Prince.
On the other side, Barrett looked at his test paper with a frown, sighing at the re score of sixty.
He seed to always be a step behind in catching a warm piece.
However, fortunately, kind Prince Colin still gave him the credit, which made him wonder if it was possibly on account of his na.
anwhile, at a corner of the classroom.
When Ilana received her scroll, she was completely stunned.
In the blank space at the top of the scroll, an elegant script had inscribed a bright red number — "99." And beside the score, there was a clear mark indicating that a credit had been duly recorded.
She instinctively looked around and observed that everyone who turned in an assignnt was brimming with joy; without exception, they all received that valuable credit.
As she inadvertently glanced at Finn's answer sheet, she found that his score was "80," whereas on the other side, Kurs only scored a barely passing "60."
Ilana's expression was sowhat incredulous; Kurs had stayed at the Tower of Great Sage for over three years and had already earned the title of Mage.
How could he score only sixty?!
Clearly, not only Ilana found it strange, Kurs himself was visibly disgruntled, muttering if the assistant graded his paper incorrectly.
Evidently, this sort of grading couldn't have been done by the Master himself, otherwise they wouldn't have ignored his impeccable answers.
But seeing that he ultimately secured the credit, he rely pouted and consoled himself.
"Sixty isn't too bad... Anyway, high scores don't offer any extra rewards."
This was indeed true.
Everyone who submitted an assignnt scored a minimum of sixty, equivalent to each person securing this almost given-for-free credit.
As the bell rang, the class began, and the apprentices ceased their chatter, turning their attention towards the podium.
Luo Yan walked to the podium with a smile, without saying anything, he wrote two thought-provoking lines on the blackboard behind him——
[Science is not a conclusion.]
[Science is seeking truth from facts.]
Then, without further explanation, he profoundly guided the apprentices sitting in the classroom from the world of optics into a brand new world concerning "Acoustics."
"We often consider sound as a form of matter, like the desk in front of . But in fact, it is a form of energy——"
"Or rather, a wave that relies on a dium for transmission."
These were re basic physical theories, even without players assisting with lecture preparation, Luo Yan could easily demonstrate them through various small experints combining magic and props to explain the relationship between sound and dium, the concept of chanical waves, etc. to the magic apprentices in the class.
Ilana listened attentively, deeply engrossed.
She had never imagined that the phenona she always took for granted actually concealed such profound mysteries!
Just as Prince Colin stated, understanding these doesn't require highly advanced magic or transcending mortal powers, only a pair of eyes adept at discovering!
They actually all possess these eyes, but the dazzling Holy Light causes them to shut their eyes, only busily searching for the treasure buried beneath the snowy plains.
She felt a window opening before her, and the scenery outside was more vibrant and colorful than any magic light could ever be.
