Chapter 211: Progress. (1)

Relin sat in front of Deculein like a student called to the Principal’s office. His fat body was crouched and curled up like a bug. Epherene felt she had seen this situation in her dreams.

“Yes… those sections have been referred to in the thesis paper by wizard Zora.”

“But there’s no citation.”

“Oh, that’s… I was going to add it, but there wasn’t enough time….”

“Aside from that, I also noticed that other parts referred to other wizard’s papers.”

Then, Relin laughed as he wiped away his sweat. But, he seemed a little angry because his pride as a professor had been insulted.

“Haha… what parts are you talking about….”

Epherene watched in a daze. The door to the study on the right side of the office suddenly opened, and some documents and books rushed out under an invisible hand.

“The theme of your thesis is to imprint specific supportive magic into a mana stone so that it would always operate as a security system. But your technique, the circuit of Engraving on Objects, is borrowed.”

Deculein pointed it out, giving Relin physical proof. Relin’s mouth fell open.

[Circuit of Engraving on Objects]. It was published five years ago by an unknown wizard in the university, but it had been discarded due to its poor performance and a lack of research support.

“Ah… uhm…”

“Is this also a part of the citation? If it’s not cited, it would be a problem.”

“Oh, of course… it’s cited. Haha… I developed the idea further… yes. My assistants seem to have made a mistake. Hahaha.”

“If it’s your thesis, then you’re the one who wrote it. Not your assistants.”

Epherene had to cover her mouth to hold back her laughter. That hippo-pig professor was being torn to shreds. Ahh, this was too good.

“…Yes.”

“In addition, I see a lot of references from Modification Theory and the Compilation of Dukan, but there are a few citations from Ihelm or other famous wizards.

“…”

Relin lowered his head. Deculein continued to reject his thesis like that.
