765 The New Vacuum Model (1/2)

In the classroom, all the students focused their eyes on Ali, but he sensed none of it and simply stared at his teacher Brian, as if he were trying to confirm that what he heard just now was not his hallucination or a dream.

Brian was mostly interested in illusion and psychoanalysis in the magic school. Therefore, he nodded with a smile and repeated what he said just now, ”Yes, you are the most distinguished student in your grade in the monthly exam. Congratulations. You won the special prize.”

It's true!

It's true!

Ali's mind suddenly burst out. His clenched hands shivered softly, and his head was filled with only a few words.

The cosmic observatory!

The Atom Institution!

Jane!

The boundless space!

”Ali, are you not going to share your joy and your experience in learning with everybody?” Brian's voice made Ali back to himself.

”Yes, Ali. None of us has ever touched the basics of arcana and magic before. How can we learn it well?” Some of the students who were born as common civilians just like Ali opened their mouths.

It had only been half a year since they came to school. They hadn't suffered major setbacks or given up on themselves yet. Therefore, they were more curious about Ali's miraculous rise in rank than they were jealous.

Ali stood up and was about to say something, but he suddenly remembered the difficult journey recently and how he had been toiling. Immediately, his eyes became sour, and it was impossible for him to see what was clear around him.

”I… I was only thinking that my father is not a sorcerer, not a noble, not a banker, not a merchant, and my talents are not nearly as good as those geniuses who have been admitted by the magic school, so I can only work harder than them if I want to keep up with them…” Ali said, half sobbing. He wanted to express something, but he did so rather poorly.

...

The Month of Harvest (September) came again. None of the islands controlled by the Congress was attacked by Maltimus. It seemed that all his attention had been dedicated to uniting the sea clans. Therefore, Brook returned to Allyn in advance.

Inside the Atomic Universe, the complicated magic circles on the top floor of Babel were now gradually perfected. The ripples of space and time were spreading out in the hall.

”Are you prepared?” Natasha sensed the strangeness after she returned from the Nekso Palace.

Lucien collected the materials for the magic circle and smiled. ”I still need to modify the details. They will be completed in probably a few days.”

”It's a shame that the Shield of Truth hasn't been totally restored yet, or I would like to jump over with you and see what the real sun is like…” Natasha scratched her chin, apparently enticed. She sounded rather regretful.

Without the protection of the Shield of Truth, it was impossible for her to resist the ultra-high temperature near the sun. Therefore, she decisively held back the thought of trying, or it would've been irresponsible for her family, her father, and her subjects. After all, even Lucien could not tell whether he would reach an appropriate distance away from the sun or simply land on the sun after his teleportation.

Lucien smiled. ”You have to hold Maltimus responsible for that.”

He paused and continued, ”If I can really find the sun, you can take a look at it whenever you want to. Right now, I have a paper that I would like you to submit in Allyn for me tomorrow.”

Natasha chuckled. ”You still have time for papers?”

To seize every moment to set up the magic circles, it had been a couple of months since Lucien went to the Atom Institution.

”It's a paper that I wrote earlier.” Lucien took out a paper from the magic pouch and handed it over to Natasha.

Natasha picked it up and glanced at it, reading the title aloud. ”'Positive Electrons Discovered in Cosmic Radiations and Some Heuristic Thoughts on the Model of Positive and Negative Particles', you are ready to submit the paper?”

”Yes.” Lucien nodded softly. ”After the cosmic observatory is established, it will only be a matter of time for positive electrons to be discovered. Also, I already used 'Positron Cannon' in the battle against the Lord of Hell. It might've been caught by the elven queen… After all, the magic model cannot be built so easily.”

For a very long time, it was his unique spell.

...

At the beginning of the Month of Harvest, a group of vigorous boys and girls arrived at the gate of the Atom Institution.

”What will the Atom Institution be like?” Ali took a deep breath and said to Anderson, whom he just met. The guy was the top student of the second grade in the generic school.

While Ali was speaking, he was actually glimpsing at the girl who was wearing a daisy dress not far away. She had a delicate face, and her curled black hair dangled on her shoulder gently.

The students from all the schools had introduced themselves just now. Therefore, Ali knew that it was his pen pal, Jane.

However, under the watch of the teachers of the noble school, Ali dare not speak with Jane in case the teachers got suspicious and informed Jane's parents. In such a case, they wouldn't even be pen pals anymore. In the tales and plays of the bards, most of the relationships between the noble lady and the poor boy would be highly rejected by the noble families.

Sensing that Ali was looking at her, Jane turned around and put on a gentle smile, which excited Ali and made his blood boil.

”It definitely won't disappoint you.” Anderson had visited the Atom Institution before, but he was still nervous and excited. ”What will the real cosmos be like?”

How would the place that carried so many tales and so many beautiful wishes present itself?
