For the study of magical theoretical knowledge, any element attribute can be analyzed according to the same magic operation path and application method.
Therefore, the theoretical courses in the academy are not deliberately classified according to the five elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and wood. Instead, all students are mixed into various classes.
There are a total of 40 students in Class E where Wayne is located. Chrissy, Molly, Gavin, and the second prince Lawrence are all in this class.
However, the family and social circle behind Wayne currently belong to the camp of the first prince. It can be said that they are not familiar with His Highness the second prince at all and rarely speak to each other.
So whenever we have to talk or are assigned to the same group for group cooperation, the mutual atmosphere is always very delicate.
"Classmate Wayne Winche."
During class, Lawrence suddenly came to the door.
He looked very shy and said, "I wonder, does Professor Conley still want to recruit disciples?"
“I have long admired Professor Conley and very much hope to become his disciple.”
Wayne looked at him suspiciously.
This second prince has a darker character, and is particularly hostile to Prince Richard. He is not like the little sheep he appears to be.
However, since he and Richard fell in love with the same person, that gloomy setting instantly turned into an arrogant character that is widely loved by girls. His scheming methods are extremely childish, and he is often jealous of Richard.
"...Because I want to be more important in your heart than Richard."
This sentence is his famous line.
The person to whom these words were spoken was none other than the duke's daughter, Chrissy, who had become the first prince's fiancée at that time.
What was supposed to be an annoying character suddenly turned into a popular supporting actor.
——At least it is more popular than Wayne, the number N male supporting actor who was given away for free as soon as he appeared on the scene.
But since the beginning of the school year, until now, Lawrence has still not shown any unusual affection for Chris, and talking to her is not as warm as talking to himself.
"Well, I don't know about this either." Wayne said, "If you are interested, you can ask the teacher yourself."
"I always felt that it would be a bit abrupt to make such a request suddenly," Lawrence said.
"So I want to ask Mr. Wen first. Does the professor have any strict requirements for his disciples? How was Mr. Wen accepted in the first place?"
Wayne recalled the scene at that time.
"Just...I said I was Wayne Winche, and then he talked a lot to himself, and then asked me if I wanted to learn magic from him."
Lawrence looked surprised, "Is that just that?"
"Maybe it's because I'm very strong in magic? The teacher had heard of my name beforehand, and asked me if I was a magic genius in the elementary school."
Only this title has always been synonymous with Wayne. From the elementary school to the elementary school and now to the academy headquarters, the title of "magic genius" has always been with him.
The smile on Lawrence's face was a little unsustainable, but fortunately the ensuing school bell relieved him.
“Let’s talk next time we have a chance.”
After saying that, he turned around and returned to his seat.
…
In the afternoon, Wayne went to Professor Conley's research room alone.
A gray building still covered by dense trees looks the same as it did a few years ago.
However, it is from this place that various novel magical tools have been continuously born in recent years, which can even be said to have greatly changed the lives of some people.
As Professor Conley himself said, magic is just the least good of all his skills.
What he is really good at and loves is to conduct in-depth analysis of the original properties of various objects and develop practical props with higher magic utilization rate.
In time, even if Professor Conley is dubbed the "epoch-making great inventor", Wien will not be surprised.
"Wayne! Come and help me take a look at this thing!"
Different from his attitude when they first met, since he felt that this cheap apprentice had the same interests and ideas as himself, Conley seemed to regard Wayne as a fellow traveler and often discussed with him some issues encountered in research. problem.
"This is an enhanced version of the previous prop! Inject enough magic power into it beforehand, and then detonate it at a certain time. The instant power is no less than Olive's big fireball."
"And hiding it in some hidden bunkers can have unexpected effects and is extremely difficult to prevent."
Conley is very satisfied with his new work, with a "Come and praise me" expression.
Wayne looked at the spherical object on the table, and then at Professor Conley.
...Isn't this a time bomb?
"Teacher, did you give that prankster prop to anyone else?" Wayne asked.
The bad premonition is getting stronger and stronger.
"Well... I sent a few to the royal family before so that they could appreciate my research results."
Professor Conley asked in confusion: "What's wrong? That thing has no lethality, so it shouldn't matter if it's sent out."
Royal family?
Wayne covered up the past with other topics.
"Teacher... I seem to have seen the works leaked out of our laboratory from many other places in recent times?"
Professor Conley looked solemn.
"Have it?"
"It is inevitable to occasionally send some finished products to the nobles. After all, the research laboratory's funds depend on their funding." He explained.
"No, no, no, I'm not referring to those favor gifts, but...the ones sold at high prices in the market."
Wayne's expression was unpredictable, "I guess...it couldn't have been you, teacher, who sold it yourself, right?"
Professor Conley's movements froze.
Under Wayne's death gaze, sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Hahaha... the weather has been really hot recently." He smiled awkwardly and rolled up his sleeves to wipe them.
"I remember that Senior Sister Olive and I should also have a share of the income of our research laboratory, right?"
Wayne had a mocking smile on his lips.
In order to raise more research funds, Conley will rent out some props and charge a certain prop fee to the other party. If necessary, even Olive and herself would need to take action from time to time.
In the royal capital, there are many big nobles who are long-term customers of Conley Research Laboratory, including the Duke of Winche's Palace.
The money earned through these channels also has a share of his and Olive's efforts, so naturally it cannot be pocketed by Professor Conley alone.
Conley swallowed nervously at his ruthless words.
