Greetings, Mister Principal: Vulnerabilities

Agnes’ hand holding the wine glass was hanging in the air, while Edgar smiled coldly and said nothing.

As for the other students, after hearing Reiner's words, they all looked at Baptiste. Perhaps only Emilia did not raise her head and was still eating from her plate. food.

The children on the side were not aware of the situation at all and were still enjoying their lunch happily, which was in sharp contrast to this place.

Jian opened her mouth, thinking that even if Reiner Ingle was really as sharp as the rumors said, would he be too showy?

Although their magic expedition team was nominally here to examine Baptiste's thesis, it would have to be a matter of a few days until sufficient observations were obtained before making a conclusion.

Besides, Baptiste is a fourth-circle mage, at the same level as Agnes and others. No matter what, we must show some mercy, and the results of the inspection will not be too ugly.

But Reiner said that he had different opinions. Isn't it a bit disrespectful?

Baptiste kept smiling and asked calmly.

"I have heard before that Mr. Iain Gray has a profound understanding of magic theory despite his young age. I wonder what your insights are on the evolution of living things?"

He did not appear angry, but calm and composed, as if his theory was very complete and he was not afraid of any doubts.

Hearing Baptiste's question, Reiner shrugged and said, as if you asked me to say it.

“The core point of the use-it-or-lose-it theory is that organisms will continue to evolve themselves in order to adapt to the environment. The internal cause lies in the organisms themselves. In order to fly faster, birds have evolved stronger wings because they do not need to fly. Running on the ground, the legs gradually degenerate into claws, which seems to be in line with the current situation."

Reiner first explained Baptiste's theory to show that he had indeed read the paper carefully, then changed the topic and continued.

"At the same time, this theory shows us an inference, that is, humans can determine the direction of evolution according to their own will."

This is an inference not mentioned in Baptiste's paper, but it is easy to understand.

If living things really evolve due to frequent use, then humans can naturally train for the abilities they want and eventually gain the corresponding power.

Edgar was stunned. This inference seems very difficult to accept, but indeed, if Baptiste's theory is true, then this inference is easy to obtain, because even animals can obtain it due to long-term use. Evolution, so why can't humans evolve in the same way?

“For example, humans who have been active in the water for a long time should be able to gradually evolve their bodies to adapt to the underwater environment. However, in fact, in addition to being able to swim faster and being more familiar with water, the body structure of these people is different from that of ordinary people. What is the difference, and how can this be explained by the theory of advance or lose?"

Reiner's words caused everyone to fall into deep thought. Indeed, according to Baptiste's theory, since living things can evolve in a short period of time due to the frequent use of certain organs, then those fishermen who have lived by the sea for a long time should It has long been different, but so far, there have been no reports of such a thing.

While hesitating, people looked at Baptiste one after another, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

Baptiste still maintained a kind expression. He nodded slightly and did not immediately deny Reiner's statement.

"Indeed, I have discovered this vulnerability before, so I have made some experimental and theoretical improvements for this purpose. You can see the results in this research institute in the past few days."

"Having said that, I am looking forward to it even more."

Agnes hurriedly smoothed things over. She raised the goblet with more than half of the red wine in it and said immediately.

"Let us drink to Mr. Baptiste's warm hospitality."

Others quickly understood Agnes’s intention and also raised their glasses.

Reiner smiled and did not continue. Since Baptiste said that he had made corrections to the theory, it would not be a bad idea to observe more. He gently raised the wine glass and shook the red liquid in it. .

Almiya glanced at Reiner and said nothing more.

……

Late at night, Reiner came to the window sill with a cup of black tea.

Outside the window, the storm is still there, and the raindrops are hitting the glass, making a continuous knocking sound. This kind of rain screen is annoying at first, but once you get used to it, it will become a suitable background sound for falling asleep.

Reiner used to like this kind of rainy weather. He was in the room with a lamp, a book, and a cup of tea. The night would pass quickly, but at this time, many things lingered in his mind. The thought in his heart made it difficult for Reiner to sleep.

He thought of the children he saw during the day. These children who were destined to die young did not know whether they understood their fate. Their cheerful and lively laughter became the biggest contrast, which made people sigh.

Reiner doesn't have much knowledge about medical research. He doesn't know whether there is a possibility of curing this disease, but he still has some respect for Baptiste who is willing to take in these children and continue to research treatments.

However, this has nothing to do with whether Baptiste's paper can pass the review. Reiner does not completely deny the use it or lose it theory, but from what he has learned so far, this theory does have major flaws. If Baptiste had not made the appropriate revisions, the paper would have been difficult to pass.

In addition, according to Baptiste, the demiplane of Erasmus is at the transition point between the rainy season and the dry season. This heavy rain will be the last rain of this year. In the next six months, Erasmus will There would be no more rain in Zimas until the following year.

The rain in front of him showed no sign of stopping, and Reiner was a little curious as to how the rain would end. ~IndoMTL.com~ He stood in front of the window and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no change in the rain, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon.

……

In a laboratory in a corner of the institute, Windsor was drowsy. There were piles of information on the table in front of her. The student seemed to be organizing research materials for his teacher so that he could prepare them for the next day. It is for everyone in the Magic Expedition Team to check at any time. This information was obtained after submitting the paper, so it needs to be handled with more care.

But obviously, Windsor, who had eaten too much for dinner and drank some wine, could no longer hold on.

She fell down on the test bench with a plop and fell asleep. The heavy rain outside the window seemed to no longer exist, and only the golden dreamland warmed her.

At this time, the door of the laboratory was gently opened, and Baptiste walked in. He wanted to call his student's name, but found that she was already asleep, so he remained silent.

Looking at the information on the table, Baptiste nodded slightly. Then, he took a thin blanket from the lounge next door, draped it on Windsor, and then slowly left the laboratory.
