Chapter 857 – #178_Thesis Appreciation (5)

#851

One.
Principal Librarian Gremory has completed discussions with the audit committee, which consists of senior librarians and senior librarians.

There wasn’t even enough discussion.
As the result is indisputable, we just had a 3-minute conversation and sorted out the issue.

“The 1444th, research fraud audit. I will reveal my final opinion on the allegations of theft of the author Siwoo Shin’s ‘Combination of different magnetic magics: Discussion on the repulsion control model using phase matching’.”

Strictly speaking, the Secretariat was not a judicial institution, so it used an expression of “Expressing an opinion” Rather than a judgment.

However, considering the influence it had on both societies, it was virtually no different from a sentence.
It feels like, ‘We don’t have judicial authority, but if you want to object, try it.

“First of all, it is stated again that the 1444th audit was an accusation for which there was not enough evidence regarding the allegation of theft, and that the author and the accuser adopted the form of in-depth argumentation as the explanation method under mutual agreement after coordination of opinions.

This audit committee judges that the author Si-woo Shin’s research on the thesis has proven his competence.
Therefore, it is judged that there is no charge for suspicion of theft.

Complainants are advised that they may request up to two additional audits for this. Lysenne Erbat, would you like to request additional thanks?”

Other witches’ eyes are drawn to Lee Seine, who has been treated as a background with her shoulders hanging down ungainly.

It is the look in the eyes that the witch’s words that touched my mother’s planting as much as possible, and raised the suspicion of her theft without clear evidence.

Licennes answered in a voice almost tearful.

“… I will surrender.”
“All right. At the time of opinion coordination, the accuser promised potential revenue compensation that would decrease due to the audit if the author’s side fully explained the allegation of theft. Are there any parts that are not true?”
“Doesn’t exist…”

“A notice will be issued to your home sometime tomorrow morning. Please pay the compensation within 3 months.”
“All right.”
“Above, this concludes the fraudulent research audit.”

Contrary to the long-winded argument, the research audit ended blandly with a short round of applause.
Siwoo feels relieved and picks up his jacket.

“Can we talk in my lab for a minute?”

To Siwoo, the head of Metis approached him.

“Of course.”

The witches who were hanging around in the audience licked their lips in regret.
Perhaps if she hadn’t come first, she wouldn’t have been baptized with countless handshakes?

“Sit comfortably.”
“Thank you.”

Upon arriving at her lab, Siwoo was served black tea and simple cookies.
The head of the Métis librarian placed her hands neatly on her lap and bowed her head before lifting the teacup.

“I want to apologize for my earlier rudeness and hasty judgment.”
“I don’t keep it in my heart. You did what you had to do.”
“No. I can’t say with certainty that I haven’t been caught in the slightest bit by narrow stereotypes in dealing with Shin Si-woo. I am learning once again that I am no different than a child in front of the mystical path of magic, even though I have lived this long.”

Metis politely apologized, but she didn’t have any feelings of resentment left in the first place.
She was a little upset at first, but on reflection, she wasn’t quite wrong with what she said.

Rather, the appearance of Metis in this fraudulent research audit was very favorable.

She also expected that due to Gehenna’s tendency to subtly look down on men, it could be an unfair audit, but contrary to such concerns, the Metis librarian led the audit more fairly than anyone else.

She may be a little inflexible, but she was just as fair as a witch.

“If you don’t mind, I would like to give you the right to read the thesis that Siwoo Shin published in this journal on the condition that it be kept in the secretariat.”
“Would you be okay with just that one?”
“More than enough.”

“Thank you if you do. Oh, by any chance, the entrance cut with me before… Wouldn’t it be okay with a witch who has been restricted from viewing it?”
“You mean the Witch of the Deep?”
“That’s right.”

At that time, she had her donation refunded because L’ruhe, who had a high spirits, cursed Metis all over the place.

Metis slightly frowned her eyebrows as if she was thinking hard, so she didn’t respond readily.
She was, but she was very arrogant in the way Leruye saw her at that time, so she might still have her remnants left.

“Great. However, please keep in mind that you must always be quiet in the secretariat.”

Siu was slightly taken aback.
Didn’t she get cut at the entrance because L’ruyet messed with Jean, the Métis librarian?

“She wasn’t offended then, was she?”

When asked about this, the Metis librarian tilted her head as if rather puzzled.

“My feelings have nothing to do with reading rights or donations. But, of course, quietness in the library is a basic requirement.”
Haha…”
“Why are you laughing?”

Somehow, I felt like I had a little more understanding of what kind of witch Count Metis Gremory was.

2.
Siu came out after hearing the encouragement of Metis, asking her to continue to contribute to the witch academia through her good activities.

She was in a good mood.
The sound of thunderous applause that soaked my whole body for the first time in a while was still lingering in my ears with a faint shudder.

Reputation as a scholar, papers that make the academic world buzz, recognition from others.
Isn’t that what you’ve always dreamed of?

Even in the witch society, papers become money.
There were 100 spectators, and half of the loss was compensated by Lisenne…

“Is it about 40 billion won?”

It is an amount that makes my head go blank even after calculating and spitting it out.

Before she came to Gehenna, she had been wishing for just one lottery win.
After tax, the amount that should have won first place more than 20 times came into my hands at once.

There really wasn’t any sense of reality.
I had to see it with my own eyes to half believe it.

Even after paying off the money I borrowed from my eldest mother-in-law, I still have a huge amount left over.

I was indebted every time, so I wanted to use it meaningfully because it was a lump sum of money that I had been looking for.

First of all, prepare gifts for lovers.
Save the remaining money and spend it wisely.

“Hmm?”
“Hey, over there!”
“Here they come!”

At a glance, it seemed that at a glance, there were more than 50 witches waiting for Siu as assistants.

Everyone’s face is familiar.
It was only natural that I was a guest of appreciation today.

They scrambled, but they approached Siwoo one by one as if they had decided in some way.

“I was really impressed with this appreciation. It would be nice if we had the opportunity to conduct research together.”
“I would be very happy if I could invite Shin Si-woo to our Golden Dawn.”
“I was amazed at the depth of insight. I’ve been reminded of the status, so could you arrange a place where we can communicate?”

“This is my business card. Please call me if there is anything you need for research.”
“Our Emerald Tablet always welcomes new researchers.”
“Do you remember me? I was a full professor at Trinity Academy…”
“Call me if you need help with your research.”

Some offered a handshake, some left business cards.

In fact, this situation itself was something she had been through since she became a witch.

But it was very different from before.

Most of the witches who had approached Siu had only curiosity.
It was a curiosity stemming from the desire to research and possessiveness for a rare creature called a male witch.

Was it to the extent of asking for a one night stand with a beautiful face?

But now, their handshake shows goodwill, and the hand that hands them a business card shows respect for those walking the same path.

“Can we meet tonight, just the two of us late at night?”
“I am really good at it. Do you want to play dirty things together?”

Of course, there were still many hot witch sisters.

Siwoo smiled bitterly and brushed aside the blatant flirtation, feeling deeply moved that the rejected witches weren’t offended at all.

I just wanted to see you as an equal opponent.

Anyway, to sum it up, the income gained from this audit was not just cash of 40 billion won.
His reputation as a scholar and the ‘infrastructure of human relations’ derived from it are included as gifts.

Although it is a gift, it cannot be ignored.

If Siwoo expresses his desire to become a member of the academic society, any academic society will offer great conditions to take Siwoo.

Quite a few witches would be willing to ask for help when they’re in trouble.
Since she has already proven her ability and potential, it becomes an attractive investment destination.

In the end, after accepting all the witches’ business cards, Siu’s pockets became as thick as duelists.
A smile never left her lips.

3.
The results of the research fraud audit caused another wave.

If there hadn’t been any thanks, it wouldn’t have been strange if someone later said, “So, is that really what he did?”
It was such an outstanding achievement.

However, no one questioned the results of the audit led by Metis Gremory as the chairperson.

The secretarial certification “SSS-level thesis without theft, plagiarism, or manipulation” Was marked.

Moreover, since more than 100 witches from different affiliations attended as audience members and applauded, it can be said that the controversy has disappeared in many ways.

Audience members chattered long into the night and spread reviews of their appreciation for research here and there.

For example, in a private salon in Lennoment Town that only members can come and go.

“The face of the accuser was spectacle.”
“Are you tired of being very white?”
“Isn’t it true that people who don’t see other people doing well always put candles on like that?”
“It became funny. Count Gemanai and Duke Tiphareth will see it with white eyes.”
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to carry your face around for a while?”

For example, in the various societies of Ars Magna Town.

“I have decided on the subject of this study. I’m thinking of proposing a joint research to Shin Si-woo… Will it be difficult?”
“If it was in the past, I wouldn’t have known, but now prominent figures will line up.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I also had an egg that I bought at an auction with great enthusiasm. It should hatch well.”
“Should I report to the dean?”
“I heard you’re already moving…”

For example in the first red roof salon.

“Count Albireo, you are so amazing! The noble recognizes the noble! He was such an outstanding man that he was taken in as his son-in-law.”
“Oh ho ho, what is this? Is that why he was so great?”
“Sure! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a warm applause at a lecture! My heart was so full of grandeur that I stood up without even realizing it? So, by the way… Can I request a home visit?”
“Sure. Although there is a lot of waiting… Hmm, since there’s a lot between that time, I’ll specially speed it up a little.”
“Really? Thank you! I will never forget this grace!”

In the midst of everyone being surprised, astonished, and having fun.

“Ehh…”

Lisenne, who was about to die, put on her witch hat and opened the door to Baron de Mer’s mansion.
