Greetings, Mister Principal - Chapter 143

The promotion ceremony presided over by President Demetrius was simple. Reiner didn’t even notice any changes in himself before and after. It was like President Demetrius said, it was just a formality.

The quill floating next to President Demetrius quickly wrote a document with a magic signature and then floated toward Reiner. This was a document proving that Reiner had the first-ring mage level. He can bring it to any Magic Association and would be able to receive the official gown and related certificates.

“Reiner, now you are officially a mage. I will write an application to join Mercury Balance for you. How about you sign it as well?”

President Demetrius continued to write. Since Reiner had promised before that he would join Mercury Balance as long as he was successfully promoted to an official mage, then President Demetrius directly resolved the joining procedures here.

“Of course, Your Excellency Demetrius.”

Reiner naturally nodded in agreement and took the application form handed over by the other party. He scanned it carefully before signing his name with a quill pen and leaving a magic signature on it.

Putting away the application form, President Demetrius stretched out his hand to Reiner.

“Congratulations, Reiner, from now on, you are a member of our Mercury Balance.”

Reiner shook his hand and smiled.

“After becoming a formal mage, you need to perform certain obligations in accordance with the regulations of the association. Generally speaking, most of the tasks given to low-level mages are to serve as a teacher in a school on the main plane or to serve as a magic consultant next to a certain lord. In a few cases, there will be magic crime investigations.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Eagles Ferdo continued.

“As for joining Mercury Balance, you can perform tasks related to our organization, such as refining potions, but I think there is a more suitable position for you.”

“May I know which position it is?”

Reiner asked. It seemed that the Magic Association’s rule was quite relaxed. Low-level mages generally would not come into contact with dangerous things in the demiplanes other than the main plane, although it would slow down the promotion of mages to a certain extent, it allowed more mages to survive.

“Paper review committee.”

Eagles Ferdo replied, surprising Reiner.

“This…Your Excellency Ferdo, I am not trying to be humble, but I am only a first-ring mage. I am not qualified to review other people’s papers in any case. It is really inappropriate to serve as a paper reviewer.”

Reiner said. As a paper reviewer, one must be at least a fourth-ring mid-level mage. This was because the reviewer must have a solid foundation and the ability to reproduce the experiments mentioned in the papers. Not to mention a first-ring mage, even the example of a low-level mage serving as a paper reviewer was unprecedented.

If it weren’t for the other party’s serious face, Reiner would’ve thought that Ferdo was just joking.

“Just call me Eagles. In fact, after the disturbances caused by your papers, we have decided to reform the paper review committee. The most important thing is to establish a special review mechanism for controversial and extremely innovative papers. ”

Eagles said, telling Reiner about the reform direction of the paper review committee.

“Like your previous papers, they were undoubtedly a challenge for ordinary reviewers. It may be that even middle-level mages may not be able to correctly evaluate these papers. But if every paper has to be reviewed by a high-level mage, the efficiency will be too low.”

For this reason, this new special review mechanism would select some knowledgeable mages as special reviewers. Whenever other reviewers encountered innovative papers that were difficult to evaluate, they would automatically be transferred to those reviewers for review.

“And you, Reiner, your papers have shown your creativity. I think this is the most suitable job for you.”

Moreover, Eagles also added that the special reviewers could do their own work at their own residence. He only needed to go to the office once a month.

Hearing this, Reiner fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if he had to choose a job, errands like this that could be done at home were very suitable for him and relatively safe. Moreover, being able to read innovative papers in advance was very useful for his academic development.

Of course, this offer was made based on the fact that the major discoveries of Reiner were quite innovative. Otherwise, letting a low-level mage touch these things rashly would only collapse a lower-level mage’s cognition and ruin their future. It might even cause the low-level mage to lose their lives, just like the mage of the hapless Francois family!

“You will not come into contact with those papers that are judged as ‘dangerous’. Due to rank reasons, you should serve as an assistant reviewer, responsible for the integration and final supplementary comments after other reviewers have reviewed it. The papers you will see will have long been read by more than one mage.”

In order to dispel Reiner’s concerns, President Demetrius added. Obviously, he and Eagles had discussed these things long before.

“Sounds great.”

Reiner nodded. Of course, while everyone at Mercury Balance would not murder him, but since they all recommended this post to him, it would be a bit rude if Reiner didn’t appreciate it.

“Back then, I also served as a paper reviewer for more than three years. I got a lot of benefits from that post. I hope you can also gain valuable experience from this job.”

Eagles smiled and said nostalgically.

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Reiner replied. To be honest, Mercury Balance had left a very good impression on him. This organization was different from what he had imagined. Most of the members were actively exploring the world and were enthusiastic about helping the younger generations. He was a little grateful that the first paper he published was an alchemy related paper. After all, from what Miss Phoenix said, the Storm Council of the elemental studies did not provide much benefit.

“You must be very tired from the long trip. Why don’t you go back to the hotel and have a rest? Remember, you will also need to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting. I will be contacting His Excellency Steinen later and tell him about today’s meeting. So you may need to speak on the stage again tomorrow.”

President Demetrius smiled and patted Reiner on the shoulder.

“By the way, Your Excellency Demetrius, regarding the submission of the spell mentioned today to the Magic Association, I still have some thoughts…”

Reiner said, speaking out the thought that had been brewing in his heart for a long time
