"Do you really think that the continent beneath our feet is a planet that is constantly rotating? That's incredible."

"Didn't Mr. Lin En just prove it with an experiment? The pendulum that keeps deflecting without any external force is the best evidence."

"Foolishness! The pendulum has always swung back and forth in a straight line, which means that it is not the pendulum that is moving, but the continent under our feet!"

…

Theresa, who rushed to the seminar, missed the end of it completely and could only see the wizards walking out of the venue in an orderly manner.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement, and they kept discussing Lynn's pendulum experiment.

On the way here, Theresa had heard Lynn's name no less than thirty times, which made her feel vaguely uneasy.

"Cas, where is Mr. Harrov?" Theresa stopped a familiar wizard and asked anxiously.

"Lord Harov just left with Lord Lin En." Cass responded.

Theresa's expression suddenly changed. She realized that she was still late, and hurriedly asked what happened at the seminar.

"It's such a pity that you didn't come to today's seminar. You didn't see that Mr. Lin En refuted the entire school of prophecy wizards by himself..."

Cass excitedly recounted all the interesting things that happened at the seminar, and did not notice that Theresa's face was becoming increasingly ugly.

"You mean, the teacher is going to give that Lin En the Corona Medal?" Theresa couldn't believe her ears. She felt a strong sense of jealousy in her heart. That was the highest award in the magical academic world. How could a three-ring wizard deserve such a high achievement?

"Yes, Lord Lin En's research on stars and gravity is probably ahead of everyone else. I wonder which adult in the [Society of Secret Arts] has such a high level of attainment in the theoretical research of magic!" Cass said with emotion. Although the other party was just a formal wizard, he was more knowledgeable than many great wizards.

Theresa's head was buzzing. She originally thought that Lynn's research could at most provide some help to the teacher's theoretical doctrines.

But this was not the case in Cass's description. It was more like the other party had sorted out and summarized the theory of gravity one step ahead, and it was very complete. Even the teacher had to ask him about the question of stellar gravity.

But...how is this possible?

This was a topic that the teacher had spent several years researching but still hadn't figured out. The final answer to the question of stars and the universe! After bidding farewell to Cass, Theresa returned to the manor in a state of despair.

Harof had also returned a long time ago, and was now thinking about what opening remarks to make at the evening gathering so as not to bring disgrace upon the Wizarding Land.

"Teacher..." Theresa called out in a low voice, racking her brains to think about how to keep her current position.

Harov came back to his senses, looked at Theresa, and said coldly, "From now on, you don't have to call me that, Theresa."

Because of the other party's arrogance and prejudice, he almost missed the opportunity to perfect the theory of gravity.

You have to know that there are more than one legendary wizard in the parliament. Lin En can find another person to explain the three laws of star orbits and the formula of universal gravitation.

"Teacher, please, give me another chance..." Teresa knelt down on the spot in fear and cried.

"It was Lin En who took away the honor that should have belonged to you. The law of free fall should have been studied by you, teacher..."

"Corona Medal, yes, there is also the Corona Medal. You have been studying the theory of gravity for many years and will publish the results soon. But then Lin En suddenly appeared again..."

Theresa became more and more excited as she spoke. In addition to making excuses for her behavior of making things difficult for Lynn, she also seemed to be sincere. Last night, she really felt that the other party wanted to join the research on gravitational theory and share the glory with one or two novel ideas.

"Do you think the Order of the Corona is important to me?" Harrov shook his head.

Theresa stood there in a daze, tears still on her face, not quite understanding what Harov meant.

"That is indeed the highest honor in the wizarding world, but the fundamental purpose of the parliament in establishing these awards is to encourage wizards to explore new areas, make their researched magical theories public, and promote academic exchanges in the entire wizarding world." Harrov said indifferently.

"I think you probably forgot one thing, Theresa. For wizards, the so-called glory, money, and status are just derivatives of power. Only knowledge is the source of power!"

Suppressing academic speech that is not beneficial to oneself in order to gain glory is completely missing the point.

At this point, Harof couldn't help but sigh, because in the land of wizards, this kind of thing was not uncommon.

"Do you know why I was willing to accept you a year ago?" Harov suddenly asked.

Theresa hesitated for a long time before speaking. "It's because of an academic paper..."

"'A Discussion of the Similarities and Differences between Magnetism and Gravitation.'" Harov repeated the title of the paper in full, then shook his head and continued.

"I have to say that the article is very well written. Even though you can't use force field magic, you have come up with a lot of innovative ideas based on the information in the magic library. That's why I'm willing to give you a chance."

"As my disciple, you can easily seek help from those great wizards and mobilize sufficient resources to verify these theories. But what about now? A whole year has passed. How much research have you completed?" Harof questioned.

Theresa's face was full of shame, and she stammered and couldn't speak.

"You've wasted all your time and energy attending banquets and listening to flattery." Harov's words were harsh, and he threw down a piece of parchment and said resolutely. "You are no longer suitable to be my disciple. I will transfer Korol to take over your job."

Theresa sat down on the ground with her whole body limp. She knew that from today on, all the glory and status would be gone from her. Once those wizards who had flattered her before knew the news, they would probably return several times the humiliation to her.

Theresa turned her eyes to the parchment with empty eyes. What Harof left behind was the magic paper that she submitted a year ago and won his appreciation. But the difference was that there were many more annotations on it. Now it has become the only thing she can take away...
