After all, they were evaluating the entire Mage Tower, so it was unusual for them to take such a long time to guide Gretel. The old magician was sure that Gretel's problem could not be solved in one day, and immediately withdrew his attention. He coughed hard and turned to
Master Gehrman, with a solemn expression:
"The cultivation and progress of the mage, this item, the comprehensive score——"
The old magician deliberately made a long note. When everyone around him became anxious and the naughty boy stood aside and almost rolled his eyes, he reluctantly spit out a number:
"81."
"It's so low..."
The two low-level mages complained softly. The scores were low. If they failed to pass the test, the research resources of the mage tower would be deducted next year. No one would be happy if they fell to this point.
The old magician had heard this kind of complaint many times. Remembering that Gehrman was his disciple, he looked around and said seriously:
"This is the job of the presiding officer. You can either focus on seeking breakthroughs, or you can decentralize resources and work hard to train new mages. Every mage tower is an important resource, and whoever the Magic Council entrusts it to will have to work hard to repay it.
——You all must remember this."
The mages nodded silently. Grete quickly calculated the current score. It was okay, okay, the total score was not low. As long as he got 70 points in the last item, he would be able to pass this year.
However, this last project is magic research. I heard Master Elliot and Master Karan quarreling before... It seems that the progress is not going well?
Gretel was silently worried about next year's research funding. The old magician had already closed the form in his hand and spoke seriously:
"I checked it before I came here. - Before I came, you had not published any results in journals, nor had you submitted any spell models to the parliament. Therefore, there is nothing that has been drafted and has not been published, or it has not been published in time.
Do you want to show me the results of your submission?"
What?
Does the Magic Council evaluate research results based on the number of papers published?
So how many journals have you produced?
Will it be flooded?
This senior who traveled through time before, you are from the Academic Affairs Office of the university, right?
Gretel was thinking wildly and didn't think that things like "thesis" and "results" had anything to do with him as a mage apprentice. To his right, several formal mages looked at each other with ugly expressions. After a moment of silence, Karan
The mage took a step forward and whispered:
"I've made some progress in alchemy..."
It is a pity that Master Karan's achievements were ultimately judged as unsatisfactory.
The young mage lowered his head unwillingly. Faced with the examples given by the old magician, he could not refute them. Next, Elliot worked hard to present his spell model, but this thing had not been completed before.
Later, the resources were cut off, and finally, I still got an "unqualified" comment.
There was silence. The old magician looked around and urged:
"What other achievements are there? If not, the current progress can only be rated 50 points!"
"etc!"
Master Gehrman's face was gloomy. He struggled for a second between being embarrassed and failing the assessment, and gritted his teeth and made up his mind:
"Elliot! Bring that dictionary!"
dictionary?
Grete's eyes flashed, and he looked down at his feet, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
A mage tower, a fifth-level mage, and two second-level mage. I failed the mage tower test and was forced to use this dictionary to recharge. It was already very helpless. Then let people know that this achievement came from the mage apprentice, Master Gehrman.
It's hard to believe that the evaluation of the entire Mage Tower may be lowered due to this.
The KPI form clearly stated: Deduction of resources and deduction of salary. The salary may not be deducted from him - anyway, he has never received money from the Mage Tower until now - but if the resources are deducted, next year's development will be
It’s very uncomfortable.
Master Elliot turned around and went downstairs. Not long after, he ran up panting with a big book like a dictionary. The old magician turned over a page and remained silent. He turned another page and raised his eyebrows.
I casually turned to the end, turned to Eliot and asked:
"You figured it out?"
"It's not me." Elliot said solemnly. He took a step across, pulled Gretel out from behind, and pushed him in front of the old magician:
"It was his idea, and he also compiled it. I just wrote a preface to the dictionary according to the instructions of the Master, and explained the idea of organizing it."
"Interesting gadget." The old magician stroked his beard and smiled. To his right, the naughty boy George wrinkled his nose and snorted as soon as he heard the word "dictionary." When Gretel was pushed out, he stood on tiptoe to look.
After looking at it, new and old hatreds suddenly came to my heart. I endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. I stamped my feet and shouted:
"That's the book! Grandpa, you don't know, I caught this guy secretly copying the book, and Herman not only didn't kick the person out of the Mage Tower, but also coaxed me to say that he had someone sort it out!"
"George!" The old magician frowned: "If you say one more word, you will get out!"
"snort!"
The naughty kid snorted heavily. Looking at his grandfather's eyes, he still didn't dare to speak anymore. The old magician turned around, straightened his gray beard, and smiled at Gretel:
"This little thing is very interesting, but it is not considered a magic model or a magic creation or anything like that - you understand, right? For this alone, I can only give you five points. Are there any other achievements?"
That's fifty-five points...it's still ten points away from the passing line. Master Gehrman was dumb. Elliot was dumb. Karan lowered his head and said nothing, with his brilliant blond hair hanging down his face, weak. The resources needed by the mage apprentice were originally
It's just a small amount. If you add these five points to one, you won't be able to deduct Gretel's money next year.
Gretel looked left and right, his heart skipped a beat, and he raised a hand:
"Master Master, can I... hand over the paper you asked me to write?"
oh?
paper?
The old magician couldn't help but smile. He put down the pages in his hand and looked at his disciple:
"Already asked him to write a paper? So early? - OK, go get it and let me take a look."
Grete rushed to get it. The old magician took it in his hand, glanced at it while stroking his beard, and immediately nodded in approval:
"The writing is quite good. The format is not wrong at all - your teacher put a lot of thought into it."
That’s what I can do!
Grete complained silently. After graduating from graduate school, a resident doctor was promoted to attending physician, and an attending physician was promoted to deputy director. Which level does not require a thesis!
This way of writing title-abstract-keywords, I can write it with my eyes closed, okay!
The format is correct and the sentences are fluent. As a novice, this level is enough to arouse the good impression of the old magician. He stroked his beard and read line by line, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head. Halfway through, he released a magic spell and reached forward.
"...I can't see clearly!"
"There are requirements for the level of magic items." Gretel stood upright in front of him, head held high, and assumed the posture of a graduation thesis defense:
"Please read the second paragraph on the third page to the fifth paragraph on the fourth page, which summarizes 7 cases. The conclusion is that the observation object is 5 levels lower than the level of the magic item."
"...That's useless!" Sure enough, the old magician came to the conclusion right away: "In this case, I won't be able to give you a higher score..."
