Chapter 2400 Level 14 Mage
Woke up feeling refreshed.
Qiao An habitually turned on the "Inner Vision" to check his own status, and was relieved to find that the hard work of the past six months was not in vain. The mage profession was upgraded to level 14, and the spell slots of the 6th and 7th rings were increased by one each!
That afternoon, Joan took the time to go back to Midgard University, first went to the old man Franklin's office to have a cup of tea, and then ran to the library with Mr. Dean's written instructions and showed it to the administrator.
"Dr. Vader, let me confirm again. Are you looking for the seventh-level spells in the collection?" the administrator asked respectfully.
Joan nodded frankly.
"plz follow me."
The administrator took Joan to the top floor of the library, a library not open to students, and then brought a slightly yellowed old sheepskin scroll, and asked Joan to check it.
Joan took the scroll and browsed through it, and found that it was a catalog, including the names and functions of dozens of 7-level spells. He had already learned most of the spells, or mastered better versions.
From the beginning to the end, Joan only found three 7-ring spells of interest from the catalog, and asked the administrator to show him the corresponding scrolls.
The administrator cast a spell to open the enchantment of the safe, and it took a while to find the three scrolls Joan wanted.
"21 credits?" Joan was about to pay.
The administrator smiled and waved his hand.
"Dr. Vader, a scholar of your level does not need credits for transcribing high-level spell scrolls."
This was an unexpected surprise. Joan put away the credit card and said to him half-jokingly: "It would be better if ordinary students don't spend money to copy spell scrolls."
"Well..." the aged librarian pushed the frame of his glasses and said solemnly, "When you become the new dean of our college in the future, I hope you can still remember what you said to me today. I will definitely pay attention to the reform plan you proposed, and students majoring in Austrian law will also benefit from it."
Joan knew that the old gentleman was joking with him, but he couldn't help but feel his ears burn with embarrassment.
"Don't talk about the dean, I may not even be competent as a lecturer. You are making too much of a joke."
"Dr. Vader, I'm really not joking." The administrator said seriously, "I have been impressed with you since you first came to the library five years ago."
"At that time, you were just a level 5 mage who had just passed the postgraduate entrance examination for arcane magic, and the scrolls you borrowed were only level 3 spells. Who would have thought that you would have been promoted to a level 14 archmage in just five years, becoming the current The most high-profile genius scholar in the academia of Austrian law, the pride of Midgard University."
"I admit that I have a little talent in arcane research, but it's different from leadership. I don't have the ability to manage a college with more than a thousand students and teachers!"
Joan shook his head and smiled wryly, he still had some self-knowledge.
"You are only 18 years old, and most of your peers haven't even graduated from college! Except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one is born to be a leader. You can slowly develop your professional skills in administrative positions."
The librarian smiled, and turned the conversation to a tidbit.
"Dr. Vader, I don't know if you have heard that Mr. Franklin will officially announce his retirement after presiding over the Austrian Law Annual Meeting in September this year."
"I really don't know about this, but Mr. Dean has indeed reached the age of retirement and recuperation."
"If there is no accident, Mr. Franklin will recommend to the school board your mentor—Professor Trofim Moriarty—to succeed the post of dean of the Austrian Law School." The administrator revealed in a low voice.
Joan was stunned for a moment, and asked half-believingly: "My mentor will succeed Dean Franklin...I'm afraid there will be many people who are not convinced?"
"Looking at it now, Professor Moriarty's achievements and qualifications are indeed not up to standard, and the reputation of teaching laziness is also a shortcoming. Fortunately, the smallpox epidemic that is breaking out in the western region has helped him a lot."
"If Professor Moriarty can publicly publish the smallpox epidemic prevention paper that has attracted worldwide attention before the annual meeting, and with the halo of being the keynote speaker of the annual meeting, other professors will not be able to publicly oppose him even if they are jealous of him. to succeed Mr. Franklin."
The administrator pushed his glasses, and then said: "This is not my own idea, everyone is talking about it in private, it should be more or less the same."
Joan nodded, feeling complicated.
He admitted that the administrator's analysis is very reasonable, as long as the supervisor publishes the thesis on vaccination against smallpox, the annual meeting in September will be more spectacular and create momentum. After the old man Franklin retires, the next dean will really Professor Moriarty is the best.
But is this really a good thing for mentors?
If he really became the dean, he would have to spend a large part of his energy on administrative management in the future, how much time would he have for scientific research?
Furthermore, after becoming the dean, as a model for the teachers and students of the whole school, the professor has to lead by example, and he can no longer openly skip work to engage in financial speculation... and his little hobbies of eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking have to be set as an example. Hold back.
Qiao An knows that the mentor is a person who advocates pleasure, and being forced to be a teacher will make his life less fun.
However, Joan would not conclude that his mentor was not qualified for the post of dean based on this.
Professor Moriarty is the kind of genius who has great potential but is too lazy to make progress. Someone must whip his ass and force him to work like old man Franklin in order to maximize his potential.
If the old man Franklin held Professor Moriarty's head by force before retiring, and kicked and kicked him to the position of dean, he might not be able to extract leadership from him and benefit the teachers and students of the school. .
Joan was afraid that when Professor Moriarty retired in the future, he would follow the old man Franklin's example and play tricks on his students, forcing himself to exercise his damn "administrative skills".
Thinking of this, Qiao An suddenly realized the real intention of what the librarian said to him just now, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly ended the topic, and quietly hid in the reading room to copy the scrolls.
The three scrolls selected by Joan recorded the spells "Spiritual Vision", "Phase Gate", and "Instant Summoning".
The Prophecy School's seventh-level spell "Spiritual Vision" is actually a "Legendary Mastery" with simpler spell-casting rituals and more complete information collection.
In just three seconds after casting the spell, you can learn about various major events and related rumors that have happened in a certain place. It is optimized with the No. 4 rune Ansuz, and you can also filter information in a targeted manner, and only search for topics that the caster is interested in.
