"Dear Mr. Leonard Ian Grey, I am Hans Toran, editor-in-chief of "Monthly Alchemist Griffin", and I am honored to read your paper "A Study on Discussion on Special Gases Generated in Limestone Heating Experiments and Several Issues on Traditional Combustion Reaction Theory". Our editorial department believes that your paper is of great value for discussion, so we hope to publish it in the next issue of "Monthly Alchemist Griffin", and rank first, and hope to get your reply."

Open the letter of the manuscript and write such words in neat font.

"Why did you get a letter of appointment so soon?"

Claire was curious. Although there was no problem with the judges communicating with each other with friends, it was unique in Claire's perception that the paper was confirmed and the manuscript was issued in just half a day.

"I remember that the best journal in the Alchemy Department should be "Alchemy"?"

Reiner had no doubt that as long as a mage who had a certain foundation and was in research, he would soon discover the value of this paper. What he needs to consider now is how to earn more points from this paper.

Admittedly, Reiner can get certain points based on the opinions of the reviewers, but the real big deal is still in the citation of the paper.

According to the rules established by the Advanced Parliament, the citation points should be one-third of the points obtained by the paper review, that is, a paper with nine points can be obtained by a paper with nine points once cited. At the same time, the points obtained by citation cannot exceed ten times the points passed by the paper review. That is to say, the citation points of this paper with nine points cannot generate any profit after the citation points reach 90.

On the one hand, this is also to urge mages to improve the content of the paper and expand it deeply to obtain higher review points. On the other hand, it is also to prevent some mages from being cited by infinite citations or using certain means to win points.

You should know that it is actually very simple to publish a paper to get points. In some comparison experiments, you can change to an object of similar properties, but the actual significance is very small. For papers like this, there will be very few review points, and even only one point sent, which means that you cannot get citation points.

So compared to reviewing points, Reiner values ​​citation points more. If you want to get more citation points, you must first be seen by more people. Choosing a better and more famous journal is undoubtedly the best.

He has checked the ratings of magic schools. He needs to obtain 100 academic points per year to maintain the 9th level without abandoning the school. If he wants to upgrade to the 8th level, he needs 300 points, 100 points per year to level 8 to level 7, 300 points up, and so on. If he wants to become a first-level magic school, he must obtain 1 million academic points per year.

Reiner had no intention of reaching the top, he just needed to keep Crescent Academy from being abolished.

Based on this, Reiner felt a little embarrassed about the letter of commission from the monthly Alchemist Griffin.

This is the first letter of appointment sent to me. From the time point of view, the other party reviewed his paper almost immediately and promised to publish it in the first article, which is enough to show importance.

But the influence of "Monthly Alchemist Griffin" is really not great enough, and Reiner cannot guarantee whether he can obtain enough citation points.

"Do you want to contribute to "Alchemy"? Don't joke, it's the top journal, and it's all about the research results of your senior wizards, and you haven't even achieved your rank."

Claire said without thinking, but then he seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate. He lowered his eyes and bit his lower lip lightly, looking quite worried that Reiner would mock her in turn.

But unexpectedly, Reiner chuckled softly and continued.

"That's right. I should first get the position of a formal mage."

"ah?"

Claire originally thought that Reiner realized that he was not as good as "Alchemy", but he didn't expect that he would say such words from his mouth.

"You, do you think it's easy to become a formal mage!!"

"Is it difficult? I found out that it's enough to pass the written test and the magic test. It's a problem for the guy who can't pass under such simple conditions."

Reiner naturally knew how difficult it was to become a formal mage.

Under the ancient magic system, the mage relies on the magic power obtained by his own meditation to use magic, just like a tiny ants trying to shake a big tree. The so-called high-level mages are all talented and rare.

Some mages began to take a different approach, integrating various magical magic creatures with themselves, and became the origin of the blood mage. Because this method is very efficient, it can quickly improve its own strength and be more applicable, it once became a powerful force with a large number of people.

Ancient mages and blood mages have always been tit-for-tat, and many wars broke out during this period. In the recent war, several mages led by Master Hornheim founded modern magic theory, which represents the qualitative and quantitative analysis of illusory magic, thus unifying the two schools and forming the current magic world.

Even with the popularization of modern magic education, among the 100 mage apprentices, there will be no more than 30 people who can become formal mages, and more than 90% of them will be stuck in one step and will not be able to advance in their entire lives.

In fact, most of the guys like Reiner are. Due to the development of magic, many nobles like to send their children to learn magic, but few of them can really make achievements in this regard.

High-level mages have powerful power and long lifespan. For them, the authority of the nobles is no longer too intimidating. Only the king can make them nod and salute. However, for low-level mages, they are just one of the many beings and have to work hard for life.

This is similar to aristocrats. Poor and incompetent aristocrats will be despised, and powerful and wealthy aristocrats will be surrounded by them. After all, this is a world where strength is paramount.

Claire is a first-round mage. He only passed five test failures before he could barely pass. It was considered a level lower than average, so he was so surprised when he heard Reiner's understatement.

Judging from Reiner's indicators, becoming a formal mage is probably equivalent to passing a judicial examination or a certified public accountant qualification certificate or a first-class architect on earth. It is indeed difficult to reach heaven, and this is just the first step. Mid-level mages are already at the level of academic masters in various fields. As for advanced mages, only those Nobel Prize winners can compare with them.

However, after his previous experience, his magical strength has improved a lot. If he had the chance, Reiner would still try to advance. After all, it is rare to come to a magic world. How can he not learn it?

"I'm just waiting for you to come back from a failed advancement and look sad."

Claire said gritting his teeth. Although the guy in front of him is sometimes reliable, he is very worthy of beating in most cases, which makes Claire crazy.

"I won't discuss the advanced matters for now. I have to go back and think about whether I want to accept this letter of commission. Teacher Claire, do you know what collects the catalogue of all academic journals rankings or something?"
