Chapter 201: Monitoring
Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion
Holding the journal in his hand, Lucien was a bit lost in his own thoughts.
If anyone was interested in the young sorcerer who had no arcana level, and thus decided to investigate him in Sorcerer Administrative Department, the person would find out that the young sorcerer came from the continent and shared the same name with the great musician in Aalto.
It would be even worse if anyone in Allyn had ever seen Lucien in Aalto before, and if he was recognized by someone from the Hand of Paleness, it would definitely be a great trouble for him. Because of what happened in Djibouti, Lucien was afraid that many people would directly connect him to Professor.
Thinking of these, Lucien started feeling unsafe. He was regretful that he carelessly used his real name when he submitted the paper, as he never expected that his first paper ever would be cited by a grand arcanist and thus gained that much unnecessary attention. Now, he felt that he was standing under a giant spotlight.
He knew he was being overly relaxed and incautious ever since he arrived in Allyn. Again, he drew an important lesson from it.
In a couple of seconds, lots of thoughts flashed through Lucien’s mind.
”Hey… Hey!” Rock nudged Lucien lightly, ”Are you being too excited?”
The last junior-rank sorcerer whose paper got cited by a grand arcanist was Ulysses when he was about twenty. Although Felipe’s paper on the relation between cell memory and healing divine power spells won the Immortal Throne Award jointly set up by Colette Royal Magic Academy and the Hand of Paleness following Holm Crown Prize, at that time he was already a level two arcanist, third circle sorcerer. As a sorcerer having no arcana level, Lucien’s achievement was definitely very impressive.
”Ah… a bit…” Lucien forced a smile on his face. ”Quite surprising…”
Then, Lucien hurriedly read through the paper from Lord of Storm, and he was deeply shocked with the grand arcanist’s great intelligence:
”Summarizing all the experiments and statistics, we can draw the conclusion that electromagnetic wave can for sure be used in searching and locating, and it’s much faster than high frequency sound waves. However, since the feedback is not clear enough, a special magic structure needs to be produced to filter and emphasize information received. The structure requires lots of calculation, thus I would consider this future magic as a forth of fifth circle spell, and here I name it beforehand - ‘Eye of Thunder’.
”At the same time, we can also see that when the vibration of electromagnetic wave reaches a higher frequency, with enough power and energy, internal molecular of the experiment target start colliding with each other and high heat is thus produced. This experiment phenomenon could be turned into another powerful spell to defeat someone who is skilled in defence from inside. I expect it to be a fifth or sixth circle magic, and following the tradition, I call it ‘Fernando’s Lightning Smelter’.
”Improving the frequency to the next level, using the great heat produced in the reaction, another powerful magic can thus be created, which is also a fifth or sixth circle magic. I call it ‘Invisible Crematory’.
”If we wanted to improve the frequency to an even higher level, we would enter the field of light.”
Lucien was very impressed, as the grand arcanist basically found all of the major applications of electromagnetic wave at different frequencies. If the grand arcanist had not stopped in front of the world of light, Lucien was sure that Fernando would come up with more spells!
Without doubt, grand arcanists were great geniuses. Even when they made mistakes, it was not because of their lack of intelligence, but very often they were deceived by their previous experiences, and as long as they were inspired, they would have the ability to change the world!
”Bye bye… my future arcana credits and points.” Lucien sighed, ”The grand arcanist did not leave me much to further explore in the application of electromagnetic wave.”
Lucien handed the journal back to Rock.
When the other teacher started carefully reading the article, in the corner, Lucien was still bothered by the thought that his identity had already been exposed.
However, feeling anxious could not do much help. Right now the best solution for Lucien to take was to gain the attention of the Will of Element. If the Will of Element could see the great value in Lucien, they would definitely protect him to stand against the Hand of Paleness.
When Lucien came to himself, he saw Rock, Jerome, Vilnia and other people present were looking at him with a mixture of emotions. Only K was still reading the paper.
”Yes?” asked Lucien confusedly.
Vilnia frowned a bit and then put on a wry smile, ”I can imagine what Beate and other sorcerers in the school of Electromagnetism would say. They will proudly announce that the future of the world is in the hand of Electromagnetism. However, it is you who inspired Mr. Fernando Brastar, the author of the great paper supporting their assertion…”
