I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 115: Have the Wizards of the Society of Mystical Arts Gone Mad?

"Does he want to become... a Grand Wizard?" Barbara exclaimed, her face showing a hint of desire.

This was undoubtedly the dream of every Tier 3 wizard. In the entire world of wizards, there were thousands of official wizards, but the number of those who could truly become Grand Wizards was only a few dozen.

But the problem was, how? Rely on the blood of the Eye of Death?

"This is just our speculation," Hank said with a bit more reason. If advancing were that easy, they wouldn't have been stuck at Tier 3 for so many years.

"Speculation or not, I'm going to ask Nos," Barbara said, her emotions running high. Just like them, Nos was also a talentless individual, and he had no hope of breaking through to become a Grand Wizard in this lifetime.

If the other person could advance using this method, then she could too!

"Ask... how do you plan to ask?" Lynn smirked.

Barbara's face turned pale instantly. According to Hank, Nos was currently unfindable, probably intentionally avoiding them while working on some secret plan.

What worried her even more was that by the time she found him, Nos might have already completed his breakthrough, putting them at a severe disadvantage.

"Perhaps we can enlist some help," Hank's mind couldn't help but come up with a devious plan. There were more than just one or two Tier 3 wizards aspiring to become Grand Wizards.

In a sense, they had many allies!

Since Nos was hiding like this, perhaps he wasn't using any legitimate means for advancement. They could potentially use this as leverage to force Nos to share this method with them, or else have their trusted aides spread the news throughout the entire wizarding world.

For a possible advancement method, Hank and Barbara were coming up with cunning schemes, even carrying a touch of madness in their intentions.

Listening to them, Lynn broke into a cold sweat, casting a gaze at the two with a hint of pity.

Although Hank and Barbara were prestigious Tier 3 wizards, at this moment, they were not much different from the apprentices who worked tirelessly to advance to official wizards...

But this was the cruel reality of the wizarding world, where each level represented power and authority.

After discussing various methods to interrogate Nos and establishing a temporary alliance, Hank and Barbara couldn't wait to take their leave.

They were both eager to return and study the vial of blood they had obtained in the Misty Sea, to understand what made it so special.

Once the two left, Lynn contemplated and took out a vial filled with green liquid.

During these days, he had naturally conducted some research on the blood of the Eye of Death. However, the results of his experiments were terrible. The power contained in this blood was extremely mysterious, with a strong repulsion that made it impossible to use for brewing shape-shifting potions.

The rats that consumed the blood directly mysteriously died within seconds, and even dissecting their bodies revealed no apparent cause of death.

Lynn suddenly remembered that Nos had mentioned using this blood in some kind of alchemical formation...

Maybe that could be a starting point.

...

While conducting his research in secret, Lynn didn't forget that he was still a teaching professor. In fact, his one-week vacation had already ended.

Faced with the reopening of his math classes, the group of wizard apprentices were both excited and troubled.

During the break from math classes, they had been working on the assignments left behind by Lynn, which contained various bizarre problems.

For example, a wizard had many chickens and rabbits in a cage. There were a total of thirty-five heads and ninety-four feet. The question was, how many chickens and rabbits were in the cage?

And then there was another wizard who spent ten silver coins to buy a camel, sold it for twelve silver coins, bought it back for fifteen silver coins, and sold it to another person for twenty silver coins. The question was, how much did he earn in the end?

Besides these, there were snails that ran up trees and took breaks, frogs that always slipped back into the well when trying to jump out, carpenters who couldn't figure out how to match keys and locks, and the area of intersection of two squares, and more.

Eilok couldn't understand how Professor Lynn's mind worked and why he had so many strange questions.

And what about those wizards from the Society of Mystical Arts? Why did they insist on keeping chickens and rabbits in the same cage? They even had to determine the quantity by counting heads and feet. If they had the time, they could have separated the chickens and rabbits.

"Very well, it seems like you've all got a good grasp of it," Lynn roughly reviewed the collected assignments.

Although there were many questions, they were all about the most basic equations and geometry knowledge. The only difference was the variety in the question styles, all of which Lynn had found through searches on his intelligence brain, which contained some classic problems.

One had to admit that the minds of these wizard apprentices were much more effective than those of ordinary people. Eilok, Johnny, and the others were indeed elite class students. In just two months, they had already mastered some of the fundamental knowledge.

After hearing Lynn's words of praise, the faces of the apprentices couldn't help but show expressions of joy, especially Pierce.

As one of the apprentices with the longest tenure at Iyeta Academy, his magical power was overflowing, but he had no talent in elemental magic, alchemy, potion making, or shapeshifting studies, which had kept him at the academy.

However, the subject of math was different. Although his talent was not as good as Eilok, Johnny, and the others, it was much better than the rest. This was his only hope for graduation!

"Professor Lynn, does this mean we've completed this math course?" Pierce asked with great excitement.

"We're far from done. What you've been learning so far is just the very basics," Lynn shook his head and said, feeling a bit helpless.

This was just the basics?

Eilok, Pierce, and the others found it hard to believe. They thought they had already learned everything they could. After all, they could now perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and calculate the dimensions and surface areas of various complex objects with precision. They even knew how many days it took for the lazy snail to crawl up the wall, how many jumps the frog needed to leap out of the deep well, and they could easily solve the bizarre chicken and rabbit puzzle.

What more was there to learn?

"And there's trigonometry, probability, linear algebra, plane vectors, inequalities, infinite series, and more... Have you all mastered these as well?" Lynn asked with a smile.

Lynn's trademark smile sent a shiver down the spines of the apprentices present, and his words left them in a state of confusion.

The only thing they recognized was the word "triangles" in trigonometry!
