Chapter 138: The Morning Star, Silver Moon, and Solar Halo!

Chapter 138: The Morning Star, Silver Moon, and Solar Halo!

"Lynn, Professor, where were you last night? I was hoping to discuss today's agenda with you, but I waited for over an hour, and you didn't show up," Philip complained, standing in front of the hall of the Greenhol City's Magical Research Society. He had worked tirelessly yesterday afternoon and evening to help Lynn win this debate.

"I went to see Lord Harof to verify a theory," Lynn replied.

"And then? Did you meet him?" Philip asked curiously.

"No, I didn't. In fact, I was stopped at the door," Lynn replied casually.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"That's normal. Even Master Herlram would require an appointment to meet that legendary wizard when he's available," Philip laughed. Harof was known for his obsession with research, and Lynn's impromptu visit was quite audacious.

Lynn shrugged, not too concerned about this setback. He turned to Jonny and the others, asking if they had everything ready as needed. Once they confirmed, they entered the hall of the Magical Research Society together.

The hall was beautifully decorated and spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people. Rows of red chairs were arranged in a tiered fashion, ensuring that even the wizards at the back could see the debate clearly.

Philip led Lynn and the others to a table belonging to the Iyeta School. However, this time, they were assigned seats further back. Philip knew that this was due to the impact of Master Herlram's death. The Iyeta School was no longer a magical faction with great wizards.

After Lynn and Philip took their seats, the conference began quickly.

Raphael and Ougust were among the moderators.

The first to take the stage was a tall male wizard, a shaper from the Sky and Swiftwind School. After signaling to a few senior wizards, he turned to the audience and began his presentation.

During the break, Philip explained the three major awards in the world of wizards: the Morning Star, Silver Moon, and Solar Halo medals.

The Morning Star Medal was awarded to wizards who had made new discoveries, improvements in magic, or alchemical arrays. Not every type of magic qualified. For example, the improved magic demonstrated by Yasos earlier was too limited in its application and didn't even qualify for a nomination.

The Silver Moon Medal had stricter criteria, only awarded to wizards who made outstanding contributions in a specific field of magic. Even Adra, the great wizard who created the Fire Elemental Theory twenty years ago, hadn't received a Silver Moon Medal because the theory had yet to be fully validated.

As for the Solar Halo Medal, it was the highest academic honor in the wizarding world. Only a handful of great wizards who established mainstream disciplines and profoundly impacted the magical theories of the wizarding world could receive a nomination.

"If you can prove your Planet Theory during the debate and correct the star maps of the Astrology School, you might be able to get a Silver Moon Medal," Philip said, excited and hopeful.

Lynn didn't care much about awards. Instead, he turned his attention to the seats not far from the Iyeta School, where the Astrology School had gathered. A group of male and female wizards stood up and walked towards the podium.

The leader, clad in a gray robe, had a slightly emaciated face with sunken eye sockets, appearing as if they hadn't slept for several nights. However, their spirit was exceptionally high as they addressed the audience.

"Esteemed Masters, gentlemen, and ladies, I am Yulande from the Astrology School. Today, I'm not here to present new astronomical research, but I have some questions that I hope Mr. Lynn, from beyond the Wizarding World, can help us clarify."

Yulande's words weren't particularly sharp, but their tone carried a hint of provocation that anyone could detect.

The wizards in the audience turned their gaze towards Lynn, wearing expressions of curiosity and amusement. They had guessed that the Astrology School would openly challenge Lynn's Planet Theory during this conference, but they had no idea how Lynn would respond.
