Greetings, Mister Principal - Chapter 135
“Teacher?”
The two students looked shocked, not because their teacher chose to take an apprentice into the high-level mages’ meeting instead of them.
The content discussed by the high-level mages was unpredictable and involved many basic aspects of cognition. If one didn’t have a deep understanding of magic, it was easy to be shaken and affect one’s own cognition. Even if the two of them could get the opportunity to enter the conference room to listen, they would probably still hesitate.
But now, President Demetrius actually wanted an apprentice of mage to listen, they didn’t understand the intention of their teacher.
“Your Excellency Demetrius, as an apprentice of mage, is it appropriate for me to participate in meetings between high-level mages?”
Reiner was still extremely humble, he asked.
“There is nothing wrong with this paper. This essay is enough to give you such a qualification.”
President Demetrius said, and the praise in these words made his two students look at Reiner with envy.
“You Excellency Demetrius, I don’t deserve such praise.”
Reiner lowered his head. It seemed that President Demetrius had already decided, so he did not refuse anymore and walked out of the lounge behind the Mercury Balance president.
The mages outside the lounge all greeted President Demetrius when they saw him, and at the same time, they also noticed Reiner following behind.
Many people showed puzzled expressions until they saw President Demetrius open the door of the meeting room, and then Reiner followed him in and closed the door.
At this time, they were all shocked.
“Who is he and how can he enter the meeting room of high-level mages?”
“He doesn’t have an official mage sign on him. This is a mage apprentice?”
“Is this a student of His Excellency Demetrius?”
“I seem to have met him before. But where?”
But Reiner could no longer hear these questions. He looked at the people in the conference room. All these mages all looked at him at the same time, their sharp gazes made Reiner suddenly feel a chill in his heart.
“Frederick, you are late,” said a handsome mage wearing a pair of spectacles sitting at the corner of the round table.
“Sorry, Pluto, I just received two papers, and it took some time to read them.”
President Demetrius smiled slightly and waved the papers in his hand.
Reiner quickly understood that the mage called Pluto should be the ninth-ring mage Pluto Alterac, the leader of the Storm Council, and one of the authorities of the elemental studies.
Taking a short glance at the other mages in the meeting room, Reiner roughly understood the ins and outs of this meeting.
Most of the mages here were the alchemy mages of Mercury Balance and the element mages of the Storm Council. There were some mages of law and astrology. According to the meeting minutes dictated by President Demetrius, probably this meeting was about the discussion on the nature of light.
“Papers? I didn’t expect His Excellency Demetrius to have this kind of free time.”
A young man sitting next to Pluto Alterac said. He had slightly longer hair and his bangs covered half of his eyes.
“Broly, understanding of these emerging ideas can sometimes give us more inspiration, doesn’t it?”
President Demetrius smiled, and cleverly responded to the other party’s somewhat challenging speech.
Reiner noticed that although there was a round table in the conference room, it was clearly divided into two parties, one was headed by Pluto and the other was headed by Demetrius. The people in these two parties were not distinguished by their respective specialties and factions. There were several high-level mages of Mercury Balance that Reiner had seen before near Pluto, and on the side of President Demetrius, there was also Ludwig Stein, a playboy of the elemental studies.
It may not be understood by others, but Reiner immediately understood that the reason why they sat this way was due to the topic of this meeting, the nature of light, and these two parties should be the two schools of light wave theory and light particle theory.
“Everyone, I think our debate about the nature of light can be put aside for a moment. I have two exciting papers to share with you.”
President Demetrius did not sit down, but spoke directly.
“Exciting paper?”
Pluto frowned. He turned his gaze to Reiner behind Demetrius and asked aloud.
“Who is this gentleman? I don’t seem to remember meeting him before. The paper you mentioned is related to this gentleman?”
“This is Reiner Ian Gray. Although he is a mage apprentice, he is also the youngest Hohenheim Golden Cup winner in history.”
President Demetrius patted Reiner on the shoulder and introduced him to everyone.
“The one who overthrew the fire element theory and established the combustion theory is really young.”
The Broly next to Pluto looked Reiner up and down, admiringly.
These high-level mages were at the forefront of academics, so they admired people like Reiner who had put forward new theories. In their eyes, no one is superior or inferior, as long as they had knowledge, then they were worthy of respect.
“Do you mean that Mr. Reiner Ian Gray wrote two more shocking papers?”
Pluto also aroused a little curiosity. Although he and President Demetrius disagreed with each other on the nature of light, in other ways they were kindred spirits. Since President Demetrius believed that the two papers were worth discussing at this conference, he certainly would not refuse to hear them.
“Reiner, I think it is more appropriate for you to answer this question yourself.”
President Demetrius pushed Reiner forward, as if to give him courage.
“Okay, Your Excellency Demetrius.”
Reiner took another step forward and looked around at the crowd. There were 31 high-level mages here, and each of them was one of the authorities in their field, and they were all learned academic masters.
And at the moment, he was going to state those amazing discoveries in front of them.
He cleared his throat, then spoke.
“Dear Excellencies, I’m standing here because of the discovery made by a father who worked hard to save his daughter. The results he obtained are as brilliant as the starry sky. However, due to an accident, he passed away and the results were not published. I got these experimental data by accident, and later verified and sorted them into a paper. I think this paper needs the evaluation it deserves.”.After explaining how he got the data, Reiner continued.
“In addition, it is also about my own paper, the paper about the order of elements and the law. Here, I will take up some of your time and explain to all the Excellencies what I have discovered.”
He paused, then continued.
“The first one is a paper on new elements.”
