I Pioneered Scientific Magic

"Lynn, I always thought that those so-called magical prodigies were nothing special, at most just working harder and having better opportunities, until today when I truly understood how absurd that notion is!" Kevin gazed at Lynn with a deeply complex look. He originally wanted to witness the incredible Everlasting Flame mentioned by Loude, but Lynn unexpectedly revealed another powerful and novel magic in an instant.

Philip, Tike, and the others also wore expressions of amazement. With their talents, the possibility of advancing their ranks was slim, while Lynn, on the other hand, was only a matter of time away from becoming a Grand Wizard or even a legendary wizard.

"Thank you for your praise, Professor Kevin!" Lynn nodded in acknowledgment and continued, "However, there is a point you may have misunderstood. My magical talent is far from comparable to those true geniuses, let alone the Master of the Magical World, Ogest the Great."

"Many of the improved magics are based on the theories of scholars within 'The Society of Mystical Arts.' As for the faster progression in wizard ranks, it's just a matter of having more exposure to arcane studies than the rest of you."

"I also have no confidence in reaching the Grand Wizard level within four years." Lynn shook his head as he replied.

Looking at Herlram, whose beard had turned white and had barely become a five-ring wizard, it was evident how exceptionally gifted Ogest was to break through this realm at the age of twenty-four.

Lynn wasn't going to let a few compliments get to his head. The title of the greatest wizard prodigy was just an empty one!

Boasting about this title was too arrogant, especially when he didn't possess the matching abilities. Who knows, he might be exposed one day...

Lynn's "humility" left the students and professors at a loss for words. If Lynn didn't qualify as a genius, did that mean they were all worthless?

Rol also realized that Lynn's words were likely genuine and not meant as mockery. He had never encountered someone so humble.

As for the lost battle, Rol didn't mind it. After all, the opponent was a three-ring wizard, and losing under such circumstances was normal.

"All right, now that the battle is over, I don't think anyone will question Lynn's wizard rank evaluation..." Tike surveyed the students and professors gathered on the training ground. Seeing that no one spoke up, he had his assistant bring two boxes.

In front of everyone's gaze, Tike opened the first box, revealing three badges made of pure gold. They were inscribed with intricate runes on the surface, representing the emblem of the Wizard Council.

The shapes of the three badges were quite similar, with the only difference being the number of brilliant gemstones embedded in the center.

"On behalf of the Wizard Council, and in the presence of Master Herlram, I hereby grant you the title of a three-ring wizard!" Tike took the last badge with great solemnity and placed it on Lynn's robe.

"Thank you, Mr. Tike!" Lynn nodded in gratitude.

On the training grounds, applause resounded with enthusiasm, both to congratulate Lynn on his newfound status and for the incredibly thrilling battle he had just delivered.

"I never thought Professor Lynn would be a three-ring wizard..." Elok exclaimed excitedly. Lynn didn't look much older than the students.

"I've said it before; only three-ring wizards can qualify as professors at Iyeta Academy..." a witch named Debra proudly stated, then delved into some gossip, speculating on the professor's age this year, whether he had any romantic interests, and what magic he used to defeat Rol.

"As long as they're under thirty, I'm game..." a redhead witch beside them boldly declared.

"I'm different. Professors older than me are still fine..." Debra blurted out unconsciously and quickly stopped herself. Several witch apprentices who heard this blushed, then burst into playful laughter.

Jonny, on the other hand, looked bewildered and didn't participate in the discussion. She remembered that Lynn had been practicing magic for just over half a year, and now he had become a three-ring wizard. Since their meeting in the town of Uhl, she had found it increasingly challenging to understand her former peer.

"This is your robe, Professor Lynn!" On the training grounds, after affixing the badge to Lynn, Tike opened another box and took out a splendidly adorned robe.

This robe, not only a symbol of status but also a magical item, provided slight magical resistance and a daily self-cleaning spell.

Lynn reached out and took it. He examined the somewhat flamboyant robe and the badge and thought the professor's uniform and medal awarded by Iyeta Academy were much more appealing, primarily because they felt less pretentious.

Tike handed both items to Lynn and then produced a lengthy parchment scroll to recite the rules and regulations of the Wizard's Land.

Aside from the basic standards already established in the Sekas Empire, the most prominent focus was on the penalties for wizards harming civilians. It detailed the consequences of each violation.

For example, if a formal wizard unjustly harmed a non-magic user or caused the death of a civilian due to forbidden magical experiments, they would face at least several years of forced labor or imprisonment. In severe cases, they could even be stripped of their wizard status, leading to a death sentence.

However, harming a formal wizard had even more severe consequences. They could be sent to a magical stone mine to labor for life, receive a life sentence, or face immediate execution.

"I have to ask, are you a psychic wizard, Professor Lynn?" After reciting the first hundred rules, Tike looked at Lynn and inquired.

"No, I'm not," Lynn shook his head. He hadn't yet delved into the so-called psychic magic.

"In that case, we need not discuss the regulations for psychic magic. Just remember that the Wizard Council forbids private research into psychic magic. If you're genuinely interested, you can attend formal training at the Psychic Academy in Greenryell," Tike reminded seriously.

Lynn was somewhat surprised. Although he had learned about the caution surrounding psychic magic from Phillip before, he hadn't expected there to be specific legal provisions, even regarding the mere usage of it.
