Chapter 147: Is the Solar Corona Medal Important to Me?

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

"Lord Lynn, didn't you just prove it with your experiment? The pendulum that keeps swinging without external force is the best evidence."

"Ignorant! The pendulum has always swung in a straight line, which means that what's rotating is not the pendulum but the continent beneath our feet!"

Theresa rushed to the seminar venue, just missing the end of the discussion, only seeing the wizards leaving the venue in an orderly manner.

Excitement was evident on everyone's faces as they discussed Lynn's pendulum experiment incessantly. Throughout her journey here, Theresa had heard Lynn's name mentioned at least thirty times, making her feel somewhat uneasy.

"Kas, where is Professor Harof?" Theresa stopped a familiar male wizard and eagerly inquired.

"Lord Harof left with Lord Lynn just a while ago," Kas responded.

Theresa's expression changed, realizing that she had arrived too late. She quickly asked about what had happened during the seminar.

"It's a shame you didn't attend the seminar today. You missed seeing how Lord Lynn single-handedly refuted the wizards of the Prophecy School..." Kas enthusiastically recounted the interesting events of the seminar, unaware of Theresa's increasingly troubled expression.

"Are you saying that Professor Harof is planning to award the Solar Corona Medal to Lynn?" Theresa could hardly believe her ears. This was the highest honor in the world of magical academia, and a third-circle wizard like Lynn achieving such a feat was beyond belief.

Forcing down her academic opinions for the sake of honor was ultimately a futile endeavor.

At this point, Harof sighed, as this kind of thing wasn't uncommon among wizards.

"Do you know why I accepted you as my student a year ago?" Harof suddenly asked.

Theresa hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because of an academic paper..."

"'Exploring the Similarities and Differences Between Magnetism and Gravity.' Harof accurately recited the title of the paper, shaking his head as he continued. "I must admit that the paper was exceptionally well-written. Even without the use of force field magic, you proposed many innovative ideas based solely on the materials available in the magical library. That's why I decided to give you a chance."

"As my student, you could easily seek the help of those grand wizards and access the necessary resources to verify these theories. But now, after an entire year, how much progress have you made with your research?" Harof questioned.

Theresa's face was filled with shame, unable to utter a word.

"Instead, you wasted your time and energy attending banquets and listening to flattery," Harof's words were harsh. He handed her a parchment and said decisively, "You are no longer suitable to be my apprentice. I will have Carol take over your work."

Theresa sat on the ground, utterly deflated. From today, all her glory and status would slip away. Those wizards who had flattered her before, once they found out, would likely return the humiliation tenfold.

Theresa's empty eyes turned towards the parchment Harof left behind. It was the magical paper she had submitted a year ago, the one that had earned her Harof's approval. Now, with many annotations added, it had become her only possession that she could take with her...
