Greetings, Mister Principal: Awards

The annual meeting continued as usual for the next two days, but the shock caused by Reiner on the first day has not dissipated. At least several mages who published papers based on the old combustion theory gave up their lectures for some reason, leaving a gap in the meeting. It became a bit more.

No one came to Reiner to discuss magic easily. People seemed to be afraid of this mage apprentice. Or maybe it was because Reiner was chatting and laughing with high-level mages that everyone felt distant from him and did not dare to Communicate rashly.

This freed Reiner up and he could focus on understanding the content of the meeting.

Although when it comes to specific calculations, Reiner cannot complete them without the assistance of the calculation array, but it is not difficult for him to have a simple qualitative understanding of each theory.

The feedback from the world also worked on Reiner. The night after the meeting the next day, Reiner lay on the bed and could feel the rushing magic power constantly stirring in his body, and the rising starting point of the inner lake was dotted with starlight. , filling the night.

Using the metaphor of martial arts novels on Earth, Reiner is a person who unexpectedly gained deep internal strength but doesn’t know any martial arts moves. He looks super fierce, but in fact he doesn’t know how to fight.

It is very difficult to interfere with reality simply by releasing magic power. Magic is like a lever, allowing the mage to use weak magic power to leverage the laws of the world. This is why many people have weapons that can carry two or even three rings. The magic power reserves of magic, but they cannot be promoted because they cannot successfully construct the corresponding magic.

If you lose the formula of magic, then no matter how much magic you have, it is just a number.

On the third day of the meeting, there were fewer speakers, but for some reason, everyone was sitting upright, as if waiting for something.

Reiner didn't care too much. He carefully recorded the previous mage's instructions on how to improve the heating device in a more precise way. At this time, Lanchester stood up.

"Everyone, this is the end of the speech session of the meeting. As usual, the next step should be the time to judge this year's Hohenheim Gold Cup."

His words completely silenced the venue where there had been some low-pitched discussions. Even Reiner stopped writing because of the atmosphere and looked at the majestic legendary mage on the podium.

“This year, His Excellency Cornwall Penzance discovered that the power of thunder and lightning can be used to completely dissociate active elements. The electrolysis method he invented has brought several precious elements to us. ”

Lanchester said, he looked at Penzance sitting aside, and then said.

"Her Excellency Maria Einstein discovered the element 'Gamuel' in a special ore. Similar to the previously discovered element 'Raidil', this element also has the property of releasing energy outwards. , the research on this type of elements is still shallow, but she has undoubtedly opened a door for us."

Everyone's eyes focused on the woman on Lanchester's left. She looked to be only thirty years old. She was graceful and graceful, but she had higher achievements than most of the male mages present.

"...We should be grateful for their efforts. It is because of their excellence that we can get closer to the truth."

Lanchester then mentioned several more mages, including high-level mages and mid-level mages, as if he was counting down the achievements Mercury Balance had made in the alchemy department this year.

After saying this, he paused and then spoke.

"But although these achievements are outstanding, the person I am about to describe next is even more groundbreaking."

Lanchester's eyes swept across the conference hall and saw the figure. He smiled slightly and continued.

“For a long time, we have generally believed that wind, water, fire, and earth are the four basic elements, which constitute the basis of all things. Many discussions derived from them, including the combustion theory, form the cornerstone of alchemy. However, with the discovery of new elements and the development of the alchemical environment, we gradually realize that these theories are not the truth, and there are many loopholes in them that are difficult to repair."

After hearing Lanchester's words, everyone fell into thinking.

Masters are people who pursue the truth, but have some people become conservative defenders and abandon the correct path?

"I am very fortunate that in our era, there is such a master. Although he is only an apprentice, he uses his meticulous observation and subversion of traditional thinking, bold assumptions, and careful verification, thus bringing us to the past Perception: Water is the basic element to break."

When Lanchester said this, everyone already knew who he was referring to. Many eyes focused on Reiner, but the mage apprentice remained unmoved and continued to listen attentively.

"It can be said that his discovery completely broke the foundation of alchemy that had lasted for three hundred years, but on top of it, he established a more stable and accurate foundation. More importantly, he It shows us a kind of thinking, a way of thinking constructed from pure reason and logic. Many mages, even though they have studied magic for many years, still do not have this kind of thinking."

As he spoke, Lanchester took out a small, golden wine glass from the black box at hand.

"So, although he is only a mage apprentice and not even a formal member of the Mercury Scale~IndoMTL.com~, based on the discussion of our committee, we decided to award this year's Hohenheim Gold Cup to him. He is Reiner .Iain Gray."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause.

For the first time in three hundred years, the Hohenheim Gold Cup was awarded to a mage apprentice.

Leiner made history.

He was a little surprised. He didn't even know what the Hohenheim Gold Cup was for before, so he could be so calm.

Judging from Lanchester's words, this award should be awarded to mages who have made achievements in the field of alchemy, and may have a status similar to the Nobel Prize on Earth.

Winning the Hohenheim Gold Cup as a mage apprentice is as shocking as a college student winning the Nobel Prize.

However, considering that Reiner discovered two new elements, completely renovated the old theory, and proposed the law of conservation of elements, he deserved this award.

Leiner stood up slowly, and amid continuous applause, he walked to the podium. This was the second time he came here in three days. Facing the kind Lanchester, he bowed slightly He saluted and then took the Hohenheim Gold Cup that was handed to him.

The golden cup is much lighter than it looks on the outside. It is decorated with a circle of complicated patterns, with the element names of "Ocles" and "Hydra" written in cursive characters. On the bottom of the cup, there is a line engraved on it. Small print - This is dedicated to Rainer Inglen, who discovered the secrets of water and fire.

As soon as it touched the palm of his hand, a power flowed out of the golden cup and gradually seeped into Reiner's body.

Obviously, this is a magic item.

"Tell me about your acceptance speech, Rainer."

Lanchester took a step back and handed the podium to Reiner.

Looking around the hall, Reiner took a deep breath and spoke.
