Act 8. Feedback from the world
Just as Reina was sleeping heavily to make up for his tired spirit, Xia Luo was at a loss when facing the two boxes of books placed at the door of the dormitory.
"This was sent by Mrs. Freya in the morning, and it was said that it was given to you by the principal."
Xia Luo's roommate Evanna has beautiful light blonde hair. She works in the publishing house business at home, so she has been involved in various anecdotes. Of course, the publishing house seems to be in good business conditions at present, so I will not report it here for the time being.
In her words, Mrs. Freya is like a butler at Crescent College, responsible for the students' daily life, sanitation and cleaning on campus, and handling various chores.
"Mr. Reiner?"
Xia Luo was a little confused and immediately squatted down and opened the box.
"Wow--"
Ivanna was surprised, while Xia Luo was speechless.
The box is full of heavy books, basically about alchemy, and there are academic journals from previous years. If you want to borrow these things in the library, you must at least have teacher-level authority or approval, and you have to spend a lot of money to rent them. Unexpectedly, Reiner sent them to Xia Luo directly.
In this world, knowledge is everything. Just borrowing books requires one-third of the study fund of a wizard. The value of these two boxes of books is at least equivalent to Xia Luo's three years of tuition.
I thought that what Reiner said was to support Xia Luo in learning alchemy just to talk casually, but the information was sent so quickly.
"Oh my God, Xia Luo, are you some relative of the principal?"
Ivanna had mediocre achievements in alchemy, but she also recognized the well-known academic journals and exclaimed in a low voice.
"Shhh, just a little bit."
Xia Luo didn't really want others to know about Reiner's support for her. It was her rule to act low-key, so she hurriedly asked Evanna to move the box into the dormitory, closed the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is a day off, most of the students are still sleeping in bed, and not many people have noticed in the corridor.
"You went to the principal's office yesterday and got so many things? I thought you were called to be scolded."
Evanna is good at observing words and expressions. When Xia Luo was called yesterday, Teacher Claire was obviously serious and that expression. Xia Luo was probably called to scold her, but she didn't expect that she came back safely and received such a valuable gift today, which really made Evanna feel a little incomprehensible.
"I also......"
Before Xia Luo could explain, she heard a knock on the door and subconsciously got goosebumps.
"It's me, is Xia Luo here?"
Claire's voice came from outside the door, which made Xia Luo finally relax, but began to wonder again, what was wrong with Teacher Claire looking for him?
"Here I am."
Xia Luo opened the door and saw Claire a little tired, holding a black and white uniform in one hand and a stack of parchment in the other.
"What's wrong, Mr. Claire?"
She instinctively still had a trace of fear for the director, and she pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers and looked at Claire in front of her.
"That guy asked me to give this to you."
Claire handed the parchment to Xia Luo's hand. She didn't say who it was, but from the tone, Xia Luo knew that it must be Reiner.
After taking the parchment paper, Xia Luo saw the title on the first page.
"Study on Discussion on Special Gases Generated in Limestone Heating Experiments and Several Questions on Traditional Combustion Reaction Theory".
There is no doubt that this is the content of the experiment she did yesterday.
Although Reiner said he could write a paper, how long has it been?
From last night to less than a day, has Xia Luo transformed the conjecture proposed by him into such a thick paper?
"He also said that you should read this paper carefully, and mark it if you don't understand or have any questions, and go to his office after dinner, of course, I will accompany you."
Claire told that although she didn't like Reiner, she still didn't miss anything she should do.
"Okay, OK."
Xia Luo nodded repeatedly and held the paper in her arms, like a treasure.
"Then I'll leave first."
Claire turned around and left. She had always been like this busy image. In the hearts of the students, the director seemed to have no time to rest.
Seeing the other party leave, Xia Luo returned to the dormitory and looked at the paper in his hand solemnly.
"What's this?"
Ivanna came over, but after she struggled to read the title of the paper, she gave up the idea of joining in the fun.
She basically knew the words above when they were separated, but she didn't understand what it meant when they were connected.
Nevertheless, she noticed the name of the essay writer under the title.
Reiner Ian Grey, isn’t this the name of the principal who took office recently?
"Is this written by the principal? I heard from my father that the third son of Ian Grey's family is useless except for being handsome, and he didn't expect to write such things."
Ivanna is well-informed and naturally has heard about the Reiner family.
"Well, Ivanna, let me take a look first."
Xia Luo responded, without caring about her roommate's opinion, so she sat at the desk and began to read the paper.
When Ivanna saw Xia Luo's serious and focused appearance, she did not disturb her. She quietly left the dormitory and took the textbook to study.
With the bright lights, Xia Luo was completely immersed in this paper.
Although there are not many opportunities to come into contact with the most cutting-edge academic papers, Xia Luo has read several famous papers before and has some of his own evaluation criteria for the quality of the paper. There is no doubt that this one in front of him can be regarded as an extremely excellent category.
Originally, Xia Luo thought that the experiment she had made was very simple. There might be a lot of nonsense on the more than thirty pages of Reiner, but after reading it, he found that Reiner's language was accurate and straightforward. He described the focus clearly in a few words, and the relevant content was expanded very comprehensively. Almost as soon as Xia Luo had any questions, Reiner's next words explained her confusion.
In the discussion on the combustion reaction, Reiner's words were even more deafening. They were clearly just words that described the theory, but in Xia Luo's view, they were like the most exciting and magnificent article, which made her breathing rapid and her hands tremble slightly.
The girl was sitting at a desk in the Crescent Academy at this time, but her thoughts had already flown to a farther place. She saw the burning fire. In the flames, some substance shining with bright light was guiding her direction. Xia Luo tried to go deeper, but she felt countless stars rising around her, and the stars were dying, moving along an elegant and regular orbit.
When her thoughts returned, Xia Luo felt sweating profusely, but an inexplicable force surged in her body. This was a magic power that she might not be able to accumulate after several days of meditation. She actually became aborted in her body simply because she read a paper.
In the past, whenever a mage had a breakthrough in understanding the essence of the world, this situation would happen, but Xia Luo never thought that as a mage apprentice, she would have such a day.
Xia Luo didn't know what she had seen before, but she felt that a door was opening to her in the dark.
