Chapter 854 – #178_Thesis Appreciation(2)
#848
One.
Lysene Erbat bit off her fingertips in nervousness.
At 10:00 am, an hour later, the second hall of the secretariat begins to coordinate opinions for the audit of research misconduct.
A total of 11 participants participated.
Count Gremory, the chief librarian who oversees corruption audits, three senior librarians and five senior librarians from the Secretariat High School.
Shin Si-woo, the author of the thesis as a reference, and Lysene Erbat, the accuser.
“This is really crazy…”
She is a lisenne, who was forced to take on the instructions of Baron de Mer because of a huge debt, but she really did not want to do this.
It is a problem even if Shin Si-woo cannot prove that the thesis is his achievement.
If proven, it is an even bigger problem that cannot be compared with the former.
During the audit process, Baron Demer prepared materials necessary for objections and workshops, and he was promised that he would take care of it in case something happened later.
But no matter how much Baron Demer, how could he deal with the angry Earl of Zemanai and the Duke of Tiphareth?
If that was possible, Ji would have come to the fore.
In the end, when things go wrong, she means that it is Risennu who ends up using the poison.
“Will I live in sadness…”
By the time Lee Seine was calming her mind, sipping her black tea with her trembling hands.
Baron Demer appeared.
“Did the Lysene preparations go well?”
“Yes.”
“Do you remember the plan?”
“Yes, do you mean to push forward with in-depth argument unconditionally?”
In fact, there is no set framework for negative audit.
When there is an ethical problem or indispensable evidence, it proceeds according to a procedure like a trial, but in case of ambiguous evidence such as theft, various methods are adopted under the agreement of the accuser and the author.
Therefore, it is to coordinate opinions before gratitude like today.
“If Shin Si-woo’s thesis was helped by others, he would not be able to answer questions he was not prepared for.”
“That’s right, no matter how well the manual is written, there are limits.”
“If you drag it toward free discussion like in-depth argumentation, it’s obvious that it will eventually hit bottom.”
Lisenne nodded her head as she clenched the thick material in her hand.
It is a collection of tricky questions that Baron Demer and her aides put their heads together.
“Even if he can’t answer even 3 out of 10 questions correctly, Chief Gremory will raise our hand. So don’t worry too much.”
Baron de Mer is confident that he knows what kind of person Métis librarian is.
She is an orthodox witch who is no less boring than Duke Erelim.
It is clear that extremely conservative standards will be applied to the thesis on the male witch that appeared out of the blue.
“Is it really so… ?”
But Lisenne wasn’t sure.
It’s not that Baron de Mer’s words were absurd at all, but it was because I couldn’t imagine the head librarian being trapped in her preconceived notions and making misjudgments.
“Of course, trust me.”
“Yes, I believe.”
“If this goes well, I’ll forgive you all the interest you’ve owed, and I’ll cut your debt in half.”
“… Yes.”
But in a situation where she is riding on her tiger’s back, is there any point in doubting it now?
I just hope and believe as much as I can.
2.
The second hall of the secretariat was a large auditorium with rows of chairs surrounding the pulpit.
Normally, it is used for seminars, so it has an academic atmosphere, but today it was different.
“From now on, we will begin to coordinate opinions for the dissertation negative audit.”
In the solemnity reminiscent of a courtroom, Metis Gremory opened her mouth.
“Accuser Lysenne Erpad.”
Lee Seine, who was called out, first greeted Metis, who was sitting on the podium in the middle, and then took her seat.
Until she stepped in, Lisenne had an expression that looked like she was going to burst under the pressure, but now she has a calm poker face.
She is also a warrior who survived in the red roof salon where all sorts of tricks and fights are rampant.
“Author Shin Si-woo.”
However, as soon as Xin Siu, who was wearing a nice suit, sat down at the table across from her, Lisenne lost her composure for a moment.
As much as she was a celebrity, she was never seen from afar.
Until then, ‘handsome, a bit mild-looking’ was the impression of Lysene.
However, with a cold mouth and a cold stare, he gave off a sense of intimidation rather than a young witch, rather like an elder scholar who had been beaten.
She doesn’t stare at Lee Seine openly, but her cold expression in her eyes stings even her 70-year-old witch, Lee Seine.
“This audit proceeds with Shin Si-woo’s ‘Combination of different magnetic magic: Discussion on the repulsion control model using phase matching’.
The accuser raised suspicion that the author’s thesis had stolen the achievements of others. Miss Lysene Erbat, do you have anything else to submit besides the one you submitted the other day?”
“No.”
“Shin Si-woo, the audit committee judged that the evidence of the theft submitted by the accuser was insufficient. Therefore, if the author does not wish to be called, the gratitude ends here.”
Lysenne swallowed her saliva.
Rather reject it, reject it, I pray hard in my heart.
That alone would satisfy Baron Demer.
Even if the audit ends in failure, rumors will circulate that Shin Si-woo did not respond to the request for negative audit because he was not confident.
As for Lee Seine, she had no desire to get deeply involved in an unintentional fight.
However, Shin Si-woo silently nodded his head, putting his expectations to shame.
“I will accept an explanation.”
“Then I will proceed.”
Metis, wearing glasses, fluttered the papers.
The chief librarian of Métis tilted his head for a moment.
“Shin Si-woo, you didn’t submit your research notes. Maybe it hasn’t been delivered yet? You may submit it now.”
“No. There are no plans to submit.”
“Since Shin Si-woo has revealed his request for clarification, this audit must thoroughly verify the allegations of theft. Research notes are an important factor in determining suspicion of theft.
The author has the option of whether or not to submit, but refusal to submit may adversely affect the audit. Are you aware of this?”
“Yes, I will not submit.”
“All right.”
Licennes clenched her fist under her table.
Do you want to submit your thesis but hide your research notes?
Also, there is something catchy.
“There is no set procedure for proving suspicion of theft. Therefore, we will arrange an agreement regarding the argumentation procedure between the author and the accuser. By convention, the authors should present it first.”
It is a position where even Risene feels burdened, but Shin Si-woo, who has been calm and weak since earlier.
He got up from his seat
“It calls for in-depth argumentation.”
Lysène felt a shudder run through her uneasiness.
Done.
Today is the day to be.
If the story of cross-validation through reference materials or internal self-review of the audit committee came out, it could have been rather troublesome.
Indeed, if this thesis is part of the son-in-law driving project of Count Zemanai, it is not difficult to supplement the paperwork workshop without shortage.
That’s why she was trying to move towards a free discussion format somehow.
While worrying about how to sprinkle groundbait to get a bite, a large fish swallowed the fishing hook whole.
“However, there are two conditions.”
“Tell me.”
“I want to have an audience.”
“The audience?”
A little commotion broke out in the quiet Audit Committee seats.
It is not unheard of to have an audience as much as an auditor related to theft, which is ambiguous to distinguish between right and wrong.
However, it was not common for the author to request this.
In the case of an in-depth argument accompanied by an audience, there are opportunities for questions not only on the part of the accuser but also on the audience, but it is difficult to say for sure that they can answer perfectly.
No matter how much the author of the thesis is, there are times when the barrage of questions poked at from different angles is desperate.
If you give an overly long or vague answer, it will lead to aggravation of your heart.
No matter how you look at it, it was a self-killing beast for an inexperienced, fledgling witch to choose.
“Instead, I would like the complainant to compensate the potential revenue that would decrease because of this audit, if fully vindicated.”
The Metis librarian, who showed her a curious look, nodded her head as if he understood Siu’s meaning.
At first glance, a look of interest passed over her eyes, which seemed to show no emotion.
He is receiving home visitors through his recent thesis.
However, if an audience member is elected and an audit is held, the number of “Potential customers” Who will visit the home will decrease.
In the process of clarification, Shin Si-woo will comment on the thesis.
It is said that the compensation for the damages will be turned over to the accuser.
In a word, it was a raise to raise stakes.
The burden of reparations would be passed on to Lisenne’s side as well, but if she failed in her calling with the audience in attendance, her reputation would really fall to the bottom of the pit.
After talking with the librarians around for a while, the head of Metis declared.
“Great. However, the number of attendees is limited to 100, and the potential profit is calculated by half of the average gratuity paid for home visits. Shin Si-woo, do you have any objections to the adjustment?”
“Doesn’t exist.”
Home visits are detailed one-on-one coaching.
On the other hand, it was a reasonable calculation since the audience would not be much different from listening to a lecture.
“Miss Lysene Erbat, would you accept the author’s offer?”
Meanwhile, Lisenne was agonizing as she touched her nails.
Something is strange.
Shin Si-woo’s attitude is too confident.
It’s not enough to present an in-depth argument, and even invite the audience.
Siu gave her ultimatum to her troubled Lee Seine.
“Despite the lack of evidence from the accuser, we responded to the allegations. I think I showed enough respect for Madou. If this proposal is rejected, I will leave it to the internal review of the audit committee, not in-depth argumentation. “
Seeing Siwoo finish her words resolutely, Li Seine’s head flashed.
Let’s go.
Isn’t this pure bluff?
In-depth debate can most clearly explain the allegation of theft, but it is a way that the defense side is at a disadvantage.
Even mature witches sometimes stumble upon unexpected questions.
Perhaps he wanted internal vetting from the start.
The best picture for him is when the whistleblower side gives up on a rather burdensome proposal and decides through an internal review.
In this case, you can give the impression that you are proud because you did not insist on internal review from the beginning.
In other words, it is a bluff that skillfully takes care of practicality and heart.
Lysene judged that.
“I will accept your offer.”
“All right.”
The head librarian of Metis organized the coordination.
“I confirm that there is a consensus between the accuser and the author. The calling method is in-depth argumentation. The author’s request is to have one hundred audiences and to charge the accuser for potential loss of revenue only if the claim is successful. Do you have a different understanding?”
“Doesn’t exist.”
“Doesn’t exist.”
“The research irregularity audit will be held at the main hall at 5:00 pm the next day. Please show up on time. This concludes the coordination of opinions on research misconduct audits.”
Lisenne looked at Shin Si-woo’s face for the last time.
“…”
I couldn’t read the expression.
