City Of Witches 855

Chapter 855 – #178_Thesis Appreciation (3)

#849

One.
“Well done, Lee Seine doesn’t disappoint her either.”

Baron de Mer greeted Lee Seine with a smile saying that it was according to her plan.

“I’m sorry, I arbitrarily accepted the additional conditions.”

Lysenne looked at Baron de Mer and lowered her head.
The procedure dragged out as she wanted, but in the process she accepted the offer from Xiu Xin.

Since there are 100 people in the audience, if you lose in this battle, you will have to pay a considerable amount.

Of course, Lyceine doesn’t have that kind of money, and Baron de Mer has promised to take care of her afterlife, so if things go wrong, she’ll be her expense.

“It’s okay, she must be bluffing anyway. Or maybe she was conceited because she only took “Come and Come” All the time.”
“Is that right?”
“Sure.”

Of course, to Baron Demer, who was confident of victory, it was not important how much the indemnity was.

In her view, Xin Siu’s response to her coordination of opinions was one of two things.

Either a bluff, hoping that Lee Seine would get intimidated by her amount and back off.
Like a young witch, she was intoxicated with the honor made by others, and acted out of control.

Either way, there’s nothing to think about.
Even if Shin Si-woo wins, the cost of a home visit is not a big deal.

“Oh ho ho, I hope tomorrow comes soon. Right, Lisenne?”
“… Yes.”

Baron de Mer laughed loudly as he caressed her pretty bracelet, unaware of Lee Seine’s disapproval of her.

2.
“Are you very clever?”

Hearing what had happened in her reconciliation, Sophia couldn’t contain her inner admiration.

It was through this thesis that I became aware of his outstanding ability as a scholar.
However, I didn’t know that she was the type to roll her hair well like a fox.

Siu, whom Sofia had been watching, was one of the typical geniuses who was as tactless as Amelia and not as good at managing things as Duke Tiphareth.

But what is this?
He bravely entered into the coordination of opinions alone, and even brought a plausible negotiation result as a trophy.

“You get paid to bet unilaterally.”
“That’s right.”
“I have to take a lot of money to fill my castle.”
“Are you going to buy me a present too?”
“Sure, you helped.”
“Thank you? There was a fountain pen that caught my eye.”

Siwoo chewed on his cigarette filter, showing a displeased look.
It’s been low pressure since yesterday, but Sophia looked pretty cute.

In fact, this audit was close to one-sided coercion.

Even if being accused is unpleasant, it is unavoidable, and it is the unpleasant Lee Ji-sun-da who carries the risk of Siuman if he fails in his calling even in the unlikely event.
Conversely, the whistleblower side has virtually no risk.

However, Siwoo attracted the other party with rice cakes called ‘audience guests’ and ‘free discussion’ and made them bear the risk of ‘compensation money’.

“But did you know that I would accept it lightly?”
“Of course. From their point of view, she must be a foolish witch drunk with the former guardian’s power. Would you save face if you didn’t mess around with just this much stake? It wasn’t even a duel.”

While not paying much attention to the gaze of others, he knows how to skillfully use that prejudice.
Up to that point, he would just be a sprinter who is good at drawing lines, but the source of his overwhelming confidence lies in his ability, so it’s cool.

“Why didn’t you turn in your research notes?”
“I think that would make it look a little easier. It must be such a shame because there is something to hold on to.”
“You mean for bluffing?”
“That is also the case, but my research notebook itself is so heavy that even the part that I didn’t want to submit as a thesis was included.”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“If the paper I submitted was an early model of the 1st generation, the magic I am using now is about the 5th generation. However, the research notes are all mixed up. There is no need to disclose everything.”

Sophia had to take a moment to understand what he was saying.

Heck, even if witches share data, they tend to leave out the really essential parts.
However, the paper that is already causing a craze in the academic world is only an early model?

“…”

Sophia, who was temporarily irritated by the inevitable jealousy, but she soon managed to capture it.

“Great. How was the atmosphere? If you’re an inexperienced, inexperienced young witch, you might feel quite pressured.”
“It just seems like a collection of witches who study hard.”
“Well, there must be a lot of eminent people around you. Will you be able to do well tomorrow?”
“Sure.”
“Can’t I prepare?”
“You can’t do it. I already did a lot of similar things on home visits.”

Sophia raised her thumb.

“I like confidence. I will help Cody that day.”
“Cody?”
“The moment you bring in the audience, the image is also important. The people gathered there can always be your enemies or allies. I will also coach you so that you can exude as cool and sharp charisma as possible.”

3.
“Did you hear that?”
“It’s about auditing fraudulent research, right?”
“I heard that Senior Librarian Lysenne stabbed you?”
“Oh my God… The liver is also big.”
“I bet Count Gemanai would be offended.”

Gehenna was once again stirred up by a hot issue.

These days, the name that I hear so often that a scab lands on my ears.
Siwoo Shin.

It was because the news that he appeared with a thesis that threw a difficult problem that was not easily solved and was engaged in a fraudulent audit battle at the secretarial high school was quite stimulating.

In addition, the election of audience members who can see the research presentation and the twisted magic papers without the need to prepare expensive gifts was also raised as an issue.

The Audit Committee of the Secretariat announced that 30 seats will be assigned to the Truth and Truth Conference first, and 30 seats to the Emerald Tablet, and the remaining 40 seats will be selected randomly for applicants only.

“Did you apply for the selection of the audience?”
“It fell. Too bad.”
“Anyway, Shin Si-woo seems confident. I heard that the free discussion was also suggested there.”
“Wow, you’re not playing with the guts either.”
“Is there a corner to believe, or is it just that I can’t make sense…”
“You’ll know when you see the results.”
“Ha, I should have gone…”

So now, the attention of many witches has been focused.

The witches who were lucky enough to participate as spectators sat in the 2nd hall and waited for the fun magic thesis battle to begin.

His interest in the accuser, Lisenne, was rather pale, but his gaze toward the author, Si-woo Shin, was stinging.
There was a gaze of suspicion, a dogmatic gaze, a gaze of vague reluctance, and a gaze of pure interest.

However, as if he was accustomed to attracting attention, his attitude was calm and relaxed.
Shin Siu, a sharp handsome man, smoking a cigarette with his legs crossed with his hair pulled back in a loose suit jacket.

There was a slight touch, but it was not a problem as it was before the appreciation started.
Rather, because of that attitude, she seemed more confident than Licennes, who was sitting stiffly.

While the witches from the two giant societies were conscious of each other and saving face, the randomly selected audience shared their opinions without hesitation.

“The person is tall.”
“Smoking a cigarette sexy…”
“Was it originally like that? I think I was a little more gentle.”

Of course, not all random audience members are friendly to Siwoo.

In particular, the witches belonging to the Jinrijinmyeong Society and the Emerald Tablet were looking down on him with a much stricter gaze, as there were many conservative orthodox members.

“The blue-eyed young guy looks a bit lackluster.”
“It has to be quite easy to trust the background and install it. You might see the gold leaf peeling off today.”

5 p.M. Sharp.

“From now on, we will begin the 1444th audit of research fraud. Everyone, please be seated.”

The commotion subsided with the declaration of Chief Librarian Gremory, who was looking at the watch.

“As it may have been communicated, today’s audit of research misconduct will proceed with in-depth argumentation. Author Shin Si-woo.”
“Yes.”

At the call of the chief librarian, Xin Siu adjusted his clothes and climbed to the podium with a huge blackboard.

The thesis published in this journal intentionally omitted the outline and proof of phase coupling.
Before Q&A, discussion, and argument went back and forth, it was necessary to explain that part.

“…”

As Shin Si-woo climbs onto the podium while holding a chalk, an even heavier silence flows through the already quiet venue.

It is the writer himself who writes the answer to the question that attracted attention and made many witches suffer.

He went straight to the old-fashioned large blackboard without saying anything fancy or introducing himself.
And I started writing about the proof.

– Just right!

Neither the motion of writing down the formula nor the gesture of drawing a magic formula where necessary did not stop for a second.
Not only was it fast, but it was a graceful handwriting that could be easily recognized even if it was written on a person’s buttocks.

In no time, one side of the blackboard was filled with white writing.

Without hesitation, Siwoo moves to another board and writes down the remaining minutes.

– Tak tadak tadak

With only the clear sound of chalk hitting the board, exclamations flowed from the audience as well as from the committee.

“Ah…”
“That way…”
“So the meaning of phase coupling is…”

As it was a thesis that attracted attention from the witch academia, there was no one gathered here who did not cling to the proof.

Even the accuser, Lycene, stared at the blacksmith with his mouth open at the proof that presented a groundbreaking idea comparable to Columbus’s egg.

The audience is busy.

Even if you don’t understand it, you copy her proof formula and diligently play with her hands to make it your own.

Lisenne, who was watching this, became impatient.

On the side of both giant societies, not a few great witches were elected and sat as spectators.
Until she checked that aspect for the first time, she thought it was fortunate in her heart.
This is because about half of the 60 people were eminent celebrities or great witches in their respective fields.

Such tricky questions will rush towards Shin Si-woo, and he will fail to answer with a high probability.

However, the atmosphere changes when the writing begins.
It is an atmosphere that can only be seen in a lecture inviting a famous witch rather than an audit of research fraud.

“… I can’t do this…”

This audit is not a place to show the excellence of research achievements, but a place to judge whether or not to steal.
However, the audience seems to have forgotten the essence and is simply focusing on the performance.

– Tak Tak Tak

After writing the last letter of Shin Si-woo, I turned around.

“This is the proof ceremony.”
“Accuser Lysene Erbat, please proceed with the questions and answers I have prepared.”

Lycene rose from her seat.
First of all, you need to change the flow of the intestines.

“It is an outstanding proof. However, the issue of this audit is not to judge the excellence of the thesis, but to test his ability. Even an apprentice witch can memorize a writing like that and write it in front of others.”

The mouths of the audience who were engrossed in magical contemplation or simply admiring were silenced.
Some nodded at Lee Seine’s words as she pointed out the essence of her that she had been missing.

“It would be right for him to prove how much he understands his thesis right here. We have prepared several questions for you.
Please, I hope this appreciation is a place to celebrate the birth of a new talent, not a place to criticize a young witch who committed research fraud blinded by honor. Author, let me ask you the first question first.”

To say congratulations on the birth of a new talent on the subject of the theft controversy.
The intention of bringing out the title “Young witch” Is obvious.

Shin Si-woo, who had been expressionless until now, laughed ferociously, probably because it was so funny.

“Wherever you try, try it.”
“The author calls for attention to the remarks.”

With Metis’ dry warning, a full-fledged in-depth argument opened.
