Chapter 840 – #175_Deneb’s Circumstances (4)

One.
“What kind of rootless city treats the queen of a country like this. This makes no sense! Not to mention Jim’s government book became a witch, but he was treated as half a penny. I will never forget this humiliation!”

Leruhe’s cheeks were puffy.
It seemed very resentful that mana shimmered every time he stomped his feet.

Just 5 minutes ago, Lerue got on good terms with Siu and got an entrance cut.

Leruye protested against Metis’ decision by uttering lines almost similar to those above.
The problem is that the protest method was arrogant and disrespectful to the level of civil petitioners.

Sharon had to stop it, but it didn’t mean much.

‘Is that so? There’s nothing we can do.’

Even at Rruhe’s tyranny, Métis did not take offense or blush at her.
Instead, without blinking an eye, she returned Rruyet’s donation on the spot, and then even withdrew her right to read Rruyet.

In the end, she was kicked out of the secretary high school alongside Siu.

“Siwoo, who is Jim?”
“You are the rightful heir of the great Nukelabi Dynasty, Mr. Leruhe Nukelabi.”
“Yes. So just ask Jim one thing. I will bury that cheeky curly-haired witch with her library intact.”
“Please bear with me even if you look at me.”
“Ugh!!! Hurry up please!”

Le Hue pursed her lips and let her shoulders droop, as if tired of her selfishness.

“I’m sorry. Jim wanted to help too…”
“No. I don’t know how you felt that way.”

While patting Rruye’s back to calm her down, the gentle Sharon was also cheering beside her.

“What kind of rules are there? How great is Siu? Without knowing anything… ! I thought all the real counts were great, but they weren’t like that!”
“Why are you so angry?”
“Of course I am angry! They don’t even recognize you as a witch!”

I know what it means.

The noblest lineage in the witch society is ‘witch’.
Other human beings, no matter how good they are, look down on their eyes.

Among the naive orthodox witches, there are bound to be those who look down on her so much that they won’t admit it even with a conversation partner.

For Sharon, it was like being racially abused by her boyfriend right in front of her eyes.

“I’m going to write a complaint! Can I put it in City Hall? Isn’t it run on my taxes?”

For reference, Gehenna City Hall doesn’t have much power.
The operating fund of the secretariat is also covered by donations.

“It’s annoying! It gets completely blocked… Siwoo, let’s not even go to places like that!”

Sharon, who rarely gets angry, shrugged, and Amelia’s shoulders shrank a little.

It was because the appearance of Count Metis didn’t seem like someone else’s business.

In fact, in the past, Amelia had a history of bullying Siwoo with such a naive, inflexible, and witch supremacist appearance.

Siu, who hadn’t noticed her shrinking since he was originally a quiet Amelia, comforted Leruhe and Sharon, who were very angry.

“It’s okay, I was going to go with you anyway, but it was tomorrow, and I was the only one who noticed that I was the only one who fell in love.”
“Still…”
“Because I’m really fine. Well, I’ll find another way.”

Earlier, she naturally thought of ‘Kkondae’ out of the frustration of Count Gremory, but she wasn’t completely wrong with what she said.

Siwoo has not actually contributed anything to the secretarial high school.
There is no money to donate.
Borrowing someone else’s help to put a spoon on it might have seemed undesirable to the proud Count Gremory.

I just had a question.

“Miss Amelia.”
“Yes, Siu.”

Amelia answered in a strangely gloomy voice.

“Is the chief librarian’s authority that great?”

“Yes, half of the books in the Secretariat and Collection were collected by the ‘Witch of the Palace’, Countess Gremory, from generation to generation.
It was Count Metis Gremory who opened the Secretariat for the sake of witch development… Even though he passed ownership to the two societies, he still has a lot of authority.”
“Okay…”

Having said that, there are two options.

One is to give up the position neatly and entrust the investigation to Sharon and Amelia as secretaries.
In the meantime, Siwoo only needs to focus on improving his specs and research.

Another is to submit a thesis.

There is nothing difficult.

I just didn’t submit it, but isn’t the amount of research data accumulated so far?
If you refine it a little and submit it, you might get the qualification to enter the secretary high school, so there is nothing wrong with trying it.

At the same time, the overall foundation of magic is systematically organized.

“For now, I’ll ask Amelia-nim and Sharon to serve as secretaries.”
“Are you Siwoo?”
“I will go to Trinity Academy for a while.”

For the first time in a while, his passion for learning as a scholar flared up.

2.
The flower of academic thesis.

Since magic is also a science, it can be said that the pinnacle of magic research lies in the thesis.

An astute person here will come up with this question.

‘What? Witches are each studying magnetism magic? Do you need a thesis written by another witch?’

On the one hand, it makes sense.

Self-renewal magic is a unique magic that literally works on its own.
The magic passed down from generation to generation leaves no room for others to interfere.

Even if a 20th-level high witch sees the magnetism magic of a 15th-level witch, most of them cannot understand it.

But I can tell you for sure.
Knowledge sharing between witches is useful.

If we were to represent the current status of many witches’ magnetic magic research in one picture, it would be the shape of a sea urchin.
It is a shape in which several thorns rise sharply in different lengths and directions around a single sphere.

If one ‘thorn’ is the achievement of an independent witch, the base knowledge that the thorn feeds on is ‘gut’.

The sharing of papers increases the size of the ‘sphere’.
It means that approaches to magic that can be used in common, inspiration, and formulas are enriched.

It is a crude analogy, but as ‘natural science’ develops, it is like astronomy, architecture, biotechnology, and other applied sciences in various fields.

“Well, whatever. Will this be enough?”

Therefore, Siu, who stopped by the laboratory in the Mansion of Gemanai, pulled out a research material that seemed to be universally useful.

In each field, the length of the thesis varies from a few pages to the length of a book, but in the case of magic, it is particularly thick.
The research material Siu chose was close to 400 pages in A4 size.

After a little bit of refinement, you just need to make the title as plausible as a light novel.

“Then once…”

Siu immediately went to Trinity Academy’s Sofia Abene.

If you do a thesis, aren’t you a professor?
If it’s a thesis, you have experience writing it, but for a witch’s thesis, it would be better to get help from an expert.

Sophia Abenega is the Head Professor, and she’s the Archwitch, so she’s a good fit for help.

“Very little has changed here either.”

I found it after a long time, but the academy hallway brings back old memories.
I always think about it, but it feels like visiting a military base after being discharged.

The memories of crying and laughing are fresh, how that tree was pruned, and how that drainage was dug.

“Excuse me.”
“Come in.”

I wondered what to do if the roads diverged, but luckily the answer came back at the same time as I knocked.
Well, it’s no wonder that most witches spend most of their day researching.

As she opened her door, the purple hair of her big sister, Amelia’s best friend, Sophia, who used to help her sister-in-law when she was a slave, was revealed.

“What is this? How have you been? I get caught up in too many incidents to ask.”

Sophia greeted Siwoo with a happy expression.
Looking at it for the first time in a while, the bust that fluctuates aggressively with only small movements is still the same.

“There is something I want help with.”

Upon hearing Siwoo’s answer, Sophia jumped up from her seat.
He looks like an intern who just sat there watching and finally found his job.

“I’ve been waiting for this day. Would you like to sit down first? Which do you like, coffee or tea?”
“Ah, black tea, please.”

Sophia is indebted to Siu.
To be precise, Sophia had a one-sided sense of debt.

Sophia is the starting point for Amelia and Siu’s bad relationship.
But without her, she wouldn’t have the relationship she has now.

Moreover, she is the one who secretly took care of Si-woo when he was her slave.
For Siwoo, who doesn’t dwell on the past, she never really thought, ‘I need to get a reward!’

“Here, I brewed the best tea leaves. Do you like milk tea?”
“Yes? No.”

Juseomjuseom I untied the hem of my clothes, so I got tired and dried it.
Because she guessed what kind of milk she was going to put in.

At first glance, she looks like her joke, but it must be her own sign of sorry.

“You are still mischievous.”
“I was just trying to repay a debt I couldn’t repay, even with my body.”
“I don’t think of it as a debt. And will Amelia-sama be very angry?”
“That’s right.”

Sophia covered her mouth and laughed.

“So what do you want to ask of me? Feel free to say anything I’ll do my best.”

Siu explained everything to Sofia, who actively stepped forward.

Meeting Metis at the secretarial high school and getting cut at the entrance.
That’s why I’m trying to submit a thesis to get the right to read.

However, even though she has read the material several times, she has never written a magic thesis that meets the format and standards, so she wants Sophia’s help.

“I wondered if I could submit a good thesis to the secretarial high school.”
“Aha, is that kind of help? Well done.”

Sophia nodded her head.
However, unlike the moment before, when she seemed full of a desire to help, she showed a little perplexity.

“Is it difficult?”
“Hmm… If it’s difficult, it’s difficult, if it’s easy, it’s easy, but if you put the average difficulty, it’s on the difficult side.”
“In what ways?”

Sophia caressed her mouth with her charming gestures, and then she opened her mouth with difficulty.

“The question is whether contributions worthy of entry into the secretariat exceed the cut-off. It’s a strict evaluation system.”
“Is that difficult?”
“If it is an innovative and sensational paper, the right to read it is granted even if it is only one page. But usually it’s hard, so I push it with quantity.”
“Approximately how much?”
“In very, very general cases, uhm, about 100 episodes or 200 episodes?”
“Oh…”

Her confidence plummeted.

Although 100 to 200 papers may seem like an absurd number, it is not a big problem for witches who pass on from generation to generation.

For example, if you have the same ‘witch name’ in this way, 50 previous generations and 50 previous generations, it would be recognized as a contribution history.

However, Siwoo is a fledgling witch.
Of course, there is no teacher who has submitted a thesis, and even if I roughly organize the details of my research so far, there are around 20 pieces.

Absolute time was also a problem.
There is already a lot to do, but the cost is too high compared to the return to focus only on thesis writing.

But, on the one hand, do you have the confidence to write a dissertation that is so good that the right to read it is recognized?
Not even that.

“I guess I should give up. The tea was good.”

It’s a bit unfortunate, but I have to let go.

“Still, I came this far, so show me.”
“Maybe?”
“Yeah, don’t you know?”

I’m trying to help like that, but I think it’s a waste of time, so stop… What’s the point of saying ‘.’
Siu put the manuscript with the grandiose scribbled title on the table.

“Here it is.”
“Coupling between different magnetic magics: Discussion on the repulsion control model using phase matching. It’s a good title.”

Sophia’s long fingers opened the first page of the paper.
