437 The Undercurren (2/2)

Raventi had a high expectation of Lucien, so he was trying to give him some suggestions. He knew that Lucien's cognitive world was preliminarily substantial. With Lucien's age and arcana ability, reaching senior-rank shouldn't be a problem, what he needed was the foundation of reaching the legendary level.

”Yeah, Lucien, you can leave the new geometric system to the arcanists of Tower. You can just use the systems after they find the actual meaning of them,” K added, as a friend.

There were many people who were jealous of Lucien's relationship with the organization and talent and some even tried to trick him, but that was not the only problem — Lucien also had a lot of pressure on him from the people who cared about him and might even receive wrong advice. Many talented people lost their path to success because the people who cared about them gave them the wrong suggestions.

Sometimes, one might do the wrong thing even with good intention.

”I'm already trying to learn more about this field.” Lucien nodded and responded, ”however, I always think that we should pay more attention to the math. It's like we need better equipment before a battle. We don't know what's waiting in front of us so we need more math tools, even if we can't find the arcana meaning of them at the current moment.”

”Well…” Raventi was going to say something else but Florencia stopped him. ”After reading Nature, Oliver agreed with your point. He had trouble finding the correct math techniques for the field that he was researching until he saw the two new geometric systems.”

Since the grand arcanist agreed, Larry and K decided to remain silent. Lucien seized the chance and changed the topic. ”has the War between Wave and Particle spread into the organization?”

”Yeah, there are many arguments going on and I can see sorcerers arguing every day. Some of them were so angry that they started fighting. Thankfully they were stopped in time and no one was hurt.” Gaston sounded a bit frustrated.

The fact that there were still many sorcerers who supported the wave theory of light in the Will of Elements, the base camp of elementalists, proved the dominance of the wave theory of light.

It seemed like Gaston was not interested in the War between Wave and Particle as he had seen too many situations like this and this group consisted mostly of particle theory supporters. He looked around and said, ”the Hand of Paleness did not send any members are not here.”

”Why?” Lucien was a bit curious. He knew that they definitely received the invitation.

Florencia checked the surroundings and lowered her voice, sounding a bit hoarse and sexy. ”The Highest Council and the Affair Committee are investigating the relationship between Heidler and the solid world of black and white. The Hand of Paleness was causing trouble for them and they had some conflicts, so the members of the Hand of Paleness are probably trying to show their altitude in this way.”

Lucien's brow furrowed. He didn't expect that after discovering the mysterious existence in World of Souls and the hidden threats, the Hand of Paleness would still try to keep it as a secret. It was such an unwise decision! He wondered if Thanatos and the demi-god liches wanted to explore it by themselves.

But they were weaker than Alterna and the mysterious being. As grand arcanists, they should not make mistakes like this. Maybe, there was something else going on.

He wondered if he could learn something from Felipe.

At this moment, Annonis the Astrologer walked to the stage and invited Levski up, as he was going to award Levski first.

Annonis was holding a wavy dark staff. He looked at Levski and said seriously, ”it has been over ten years, yet no one discovered the true value of your thesis. You were looked down and attacked. It was Tower's mistake and it was also my mistake. I've never even thoroughly read your thesis before throwing them aside.

”Luckily, we still have a chance to make up for it. We'll use the 21st Arcana Scepter, Levski Geometry, to honor the new geometric system you created and to honor your contribution to the field of math. You passed through the difficult challenges and you insisted on what you believed. This is the true spirit of arcana and magic!”

Levski took over the scepter with many emotions going through his mind. He almost cried and he spoke briefly.

”First I would like to thank Evans. Without his proof and his logical insights, I would not be able to receive the scepter today.

”Also, I want to tell everyone that the field of math is different from other arcana fields. In this field, we need to make purely logical thoughts that are not based on reality. We need to be brave.”

His emotion got unstable as he talked and his voice was a bit blurry.

”It might not be a happy thing to believe in your own belief, but it is definitely a worthy thing!”

Everyone was clapping, not only as congratulations but also as apologies.

After Levski finished the speech, Annonis asked Lucien to get on the stage.
