Chapter 842 – #176_Thesis

One.
‘The First Red Roof Salon’ in Ars Magna Town.
This place, which has been replaced by the red salon or salon, because of its long name, is a community that promotes friendship among high-ranking witches who have a lot of money and a lot of time.
As one of the social events, it is a daily salon to compete for ‘Who decorated more beautifully?’, But today the atmosphere was quite different.
Intellectual discussions and excited hums can be heard throughout the salon.
It may be because witches hold thick academic journals in their hands instead of elegant fans.
The girls here are essentially ‘witches’ who seek the ultimate in magic.
4 pm.
In keeping with the creed that the heroine appears late, her followers gathered around Baron Demer, who appeared late during the peak hours of the salon.
“Baron Demer, have you seen this academic journal?”
“Sure, ah… Is that why there were so many people today?”
“Yes, yes, that famous male witch has published a thesis!”
“Is that so?”
Although he responded with a cultured smile and a gentle tone, Baron Demer’s innermost heart was rather plain.
The rumors were so riotous that as soon as I woke up, I was able to hear the rumors from her lady-in-waiting.
I was surprised at first, but when I think about it, it’s a trivial story.
It is true that the Academy Journal is one of the top 3 Gehenna academic journals.
Its authority and effectiveness are still acknowledged, and witches always take care of it every day it is issued.
“You haven’t read it yet?”
“No, I haven’t read it.”
“Aha.”
Baron de Mer’s lukewarm response gave one of her followers a vague smile.
It is a salon where fights of nerves and wits are a daily occurrence.
Reading displeasure wrapped in culture is like reading the palm of your hand.
“Male witch, was your name Shin Si-woo? He’s a disciple of Duke Tiphareth. In addition, Daryl is the son-in-law of Count Zemanai and an honored guest of Count Yesod.”
“Yes.”
“It’s not that I deny the need for power to maintain the witch society, but it’s a sacred place of learning. The famous Trinity Academy is not the same as before.”
The source of Demer’s displeasure was also here.
“Anyway, Count Gemanai seems to want to make Daryl’s son-in-law’s nameplate shine.”
“Just…”
The followers, who had been aware of the war of nerves between Count Gemanai and Baron Demer from before, did not readily speak out and only glanced at each other.
At that time, someone appeared, overtaking the cloud-like group of witches.
It was the celebrity of the salon, Count Albireo, clad in a black dress.
It’s a grinning smile even though the scene of the behind the scenes was caught.
“Baron Demer, are you saying that I stole some money from you?”
“Please. But I just know that the Countess of Gemanai is competent in many ways.”
Baron Demer, who was cleverly sarcastic, responded with a smile like a flower.
There was a hidden thorn that the Countess of Gemanai could exert enough pressure even if it wasn’t necessarily back money.
“To say that you haven’t read it yourself and spread gossip about it. Have you had anything bad happen lately? You don’t look like Baron Demer.”
“Excuse me. It’s because he has a disposition that he can’t stand when he sees injustice from before.”
Albireo took out an academic journal that was close to a thick book.
What do you say when your mouth hurts? I mean read it for yourself.
“I hope I am not wasting my time.”
“Sure.”
Baron Demer sat down, opened the journal, and began reading the part the male witch had written.
“Joy.”
Baron Demer, who snorts at the grandiose title.
Actually, it wasn’t too strange that she reacted this way.
Only the people around Si-woo know what level Si-woo has reached.
Isn’t it clear that she has at least the level of a great witch and various combat experiences?
However, ordinary witches did not have much information about Shin Si-woo.
At best, that she was caught up in the scare of COEX in Seoul, that she lived against the Witch of Greed, that she escaped from being captured by Hexen Nacht…
There are only floating rumors about her abilities that cannot be judged.
This was because the two Counts and the Duke of Tiphareth worked together to control the information.
Therefore, to a witch who doesn’t know the truth, Shin Si-woo is nothing more than a ‘wild witch’ who is ‘strong against bad luck’, ‘attracts attention because of the peculiarity of being a man’, ‘has some excellent personal connections’.
Not to mention, no one highly valued his skills as a scholar, who could stand out only after spending enough time.
“…”
However, Baron Demer’s face, which had even a faint tinge of contempt, turned white.
It was almost certain that it would be a similar paper with only a crude assortment at the very least, without even a fair review.
No, I had to.
However, novel and impactful claims and esoteric techniques that cannot be understood at once, no matter how many times you read them, are splendidly embroidered on academic journals.
Of course, it is a very condensed content in a relationship that needs to be listed in an academic journal, so the commentary is unkind.
The information presented here could not fully prove whether the theory he was proposing was true or false.
But Baron Demer is a legitimized archwitch.
It is immediately possible to distinguish between the dreamer’s absurd delusion and the level of professional hypotheses derived from in-depth knowledge.
Baron de Mer took another look at the atmosphere around her.
When you first enter the salon.
I thought the identity of the fuss heard from all sides was a mockery of Trinity Academy, which published an absurd paper, or a backstory about the Count Zemanai family, who pushed for a handshake.
But now I can hear the chatter around me.
“Does this really work like this?”
“I tried, but I can’t prove it.”
“A male witch wrote this… ?”
“It’s been less than 10 years since I became a witch.”
“Isn’t the truth unverifiable? The last part is just a play on words.”
The witches were all talking about the same subject.
‘The Force Field Theory’ by Count Yesod, which was evaluated as the most excellent and innovative paper in the past half a century.
It was just as big of a stir when it was first revealed.
It is a thesis that even Baron Demer, who is located at the top of the witch society, admired.
Everyone is putting their heads together to spread the sails in front of the southeast wind that presents a new realization.
Discuss what you don’t understand, marvel at enlightenment, and immerse yourself in new inspiration.
Also, she brings her mouth together and praises Xin Siu.
“That’s amazing…”
“I saw her at a host bar before, and her face is so handsome. Well-mannered and humorous.”
“It’s embarrassing, when I was that young, I was rejected more than 20 times in 10 years…”
“Talent is dead.”
The nasty Count Albireo’s grin caught my eye.
It seemed very elated.
“How is it? Isn’t our son-in-law good?”
In my mind, I want to retort, ‘Is this enough?’, And I want to show off my composure while covering the academic journal right away.
But Baron Demer is also a witch.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the new knowledge that broadened the horizons of knowledge.
Unable to hide his jealousy, Demer clicked his tongue and turned his gaze back to his thesis, ignoring Albireo’s smirk.
Shin Si-woo’s thesis boasted an atrocious difficulty as much as it was innovative, so even Baron Demer could not understand it at once.
In addition, the proof of ‘phase coincidence’, which is the core theory of the backlash control model, has not been clearly verified.
The proof of the theory is different from the crankshaft that drives all these research materials normally.
If that’s proven, you’ll be able to effectively use the Gnosis egg you just got…
“What! Are you kidding me?”
Baron Demer, swollen with such anticipation, hit the table.
For this moment, he forgot his dignity and culture as a baron.
The witches who looked at the thesis before Baron Demer did as expected, shed small smiles.
But Baron de Mer didn’t have the energy left to take care of her surroundings.
“I have discovered a surprising proof for this, but it is not written down due to the lack of quantity… ?”
It was because the final proof that would complete the main point of the thesis was cut off.
His arrogant attitude is hard to believe for a novice writing his first journal article.
The most resentful thing is not resentment at that attitude, but rather the self who feels curiosity and longing.
Why, why, why didn’t I tell you everything?
The body heats up.
I want to meet him right away and have an in-depth discussion and hear his opinion.
“My son-in-law is a bit playful.”
Albireo looked up from the side and smirked.
Baron Demer snorted as if to listen.
“Do you think I can’t even do this? I will prove it once.”
Baron Demer took out a piece of paper and a fountain pen.
And, just like the other witches gathered in the salon, I buried my head in Xin Siu’s desk to prove her theory.
2.
“Sophia, can I do this?”
One day before publication of the thesis.
After receiving the final copy from Sofia, Siu tilted his head.
“What?”
“I wouldn’t be able to use it without this. It is difficult to prove.”
Sophia’s proof of the ‘phase coincidence’, which is the core of the magnetic magic combination, was completely missing.
Even though I gave feedback on the logical fallacy at best.
What’s more, the words that he puts out as an excuse are ‘not enough because the quantity is not enough’.
Wouldn’t it just be enough to add 5 more pages?
My face is burning as if I’m doing a genius cosplay.
Sophia grinned.
“You need showmanship in your thesis too. More attention brings more honor and attention.”
“I think it’s okay to stop receiving attention, putting honor aside.”
It started because of a secretarial high school, but I wonder if I’m doing something useless.
But it’s also like saying something different about the corrections made by head professor Sophia, who must have written dozens of papers like this…
“Of course money comes in.”
“Money?”
“If it’s a paper like this, everyone would be in a frenzy because they want to talk to you. There will be many customers who come with nice gifts. Isn’t it too much to release them all for free?
The basic contents are released as open source, but the core is taught in exchange for a price. This is also how witches earn research funds.”
I don’t know about other things, but money is always needed.
I still hadn’t paid off the donations I had borrowed from my eldest mother-in-law, and I had no intention of living alone in the future.
I wondered if Sophia had arranged it wisely.
“Well, Sophia-sama must be right.”
Siwoo did not take it seriously and signed the final consent to Sofia’s review copy.
