Chapter 211: A New Beginning In the School of Element
Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion
Raventi’s roaring was in every arcanist’s ear. They were totally shocked, together with quite mixed feelings. Even the four members of the Arcana Review Board were no exception.
The finding of Periodic Table of Elements showed that the discovery of new elements was no longer blind and scattered or, as described by many, like a blind cat running into a dead mouse, but something that had theoretical guidance!
From now on, there was a way to proceed in the study to find new elements!
Exploring the world, finding laws among phenomena, and using the laws to explain other phenomena, this was the spirit of arcana!
”Lucien Evans X… Lucien Evans X is here!” The excited but nervous voice of a man resounded, and then one more time, this time louder, but still with certain control.
Gaston and Larry, as they were so shocked with the finding, did not realize that the young man they met before the conference began was the very author of this paper until now.
No one could believe that this great finding was from a level one arcanist, first circle sorcerer!
On the platform, Leandro, who was standing not far away from Raventi, felt supper dizzy all of a sudden, as his head was buzzing.
All the people present turned to look at the direction where the voice came from. It was Lazar who raised his hand and answered Raventi’s questions, and right now, he looked rather excited.
Lazar was deeply shocked. Every time Raventi announced the result of an experiment, his heart missed a beat. And when Lazar heard that familiar name, he was totally unable to believe his ears, since although he knew that his friend Lucien Evans was quite smart, he had no idea how Lucien could put forward the periodic table and make this prediction as if he had already seen the new element before, with his own eyes!
Behind Lazar, Lucien closed his eyes. When he heard that his paper was right on the atomic weight of the new element, Lucien knew that all his hard work paid off!
For sure Lucien felt rather excited, and deep in his mind, he was wild with joy. Meanwhile, although Lucien was relatively confident, he also found himself very lucky as he celebrated in his heart that this new element was not some strange isotope, or his paper would not be found valuable this fast. And if that was the case, this paper would bring him more trouble than reputation, as most arcanists who were regarded as being blindly arrogant with their previous papers would have a really hard time publishing their next papers, and at that time, maybe the ring of Holm Crown prize would be Lucien’s last protection.
Since the paper was finished, Lucien kept feeling quite nervous. Finally, Raventi’s experiment proved that he was right.
One would not imagine that finding the law was too difficult, however, not many could really stick to the effort if it didn't pay off in a relatively short period of time.
Raventi, Timothy and other arcanists saw the young man standing beside Lazar. Wearing black bow and long double-breasted coat, Lucien looked handsome and elegant, and his black eyes appeared to be rather deep.
”You’re… Lucien Evans X?” Raventi could not believe that he was this young.
It was the same with other arcanists present. Except for Gaston, Larry and a few other sorcerers who had already seen him, the rest of the people all thought that this author only of junior-rank should at least have many years of experience in studying elements.
However, this was not true.
Lucien tried to stay calm, and he smiled, ”Yes, Mr. Raventi.”
Squinting a bit, Raventi secretly used a magic and read the information of Lucien’s arcana badge. Then he nodded to Lucien. ”Evans, come up here. I think your paper should be the last and best play of today’s conference. The great meaning your paper is of is clear to every arcanist present, and using even a single word to explain it is a waste of time. This conference will be remembered by history because of your paper!”
”Before that, Mr. Raventi.” Gaston stood up, ”I need to apologize for my negligence when I reviewed this paper. So I would like to petition the board together with Mr. Overee for a reevaluation of this paper, so Evans could earn all the reputation, praise, arcana credits and points that he truly deserve!”
Overee also stood up and nodded.
Gaston and Overee were not stupid. After seeing Raventi’s experiments, they quickly talked to each other and made this decision. On one hand, they needed to be responsible for the mistake that their students made, since it was their students who ignored this paper, and on the other hand, they would not leave their enemies any time to take advantage of this thing and thus to kick them out of the board.
