After visiting the royal capital and three neighboring provinces, the Venn team has completed more than half of its investigation and research report.
The compiled original information details the personal experiences of more than twenty civilians who awakened to magic before and after their awakening.
This is already the result that their team divided into two groups and tried their best to achieve it.
Next, as long as statistics and analysis are conducted based on the collected data, and the team's common insights are presented, this research report, which is not yet so professionally demanding, will be completed.
"Ah...it's really not easy to collect this information." Lawrence complained.
No, in modern times, it would be just a phone call or a web link.
Wayne silently sent a ruthless complaint to this backward era.
"Really... thank you all very much for your hard work these days." Tasia stood up and bowed gratefully.
"This is also our homework. Why should Tasia apologize?" Chris blinked.
"Because, at the beginning, I wanted to choose this as the topic out of selfish motives..."
Tasia said apologetically.
Seeing that she seemed really sorry about this, Chris said to her seriously: "Tasia, don't always feel sorry for others."
"Eh?"
Stunned by what Chris said, Tasia didn't react for a moment. "But……"
"You may only think it's polite, but for some people, your concession may actually be an act of indulgence."
Chrissy said something a bit harsh, and Lawrence was a little unhappy.
"Hey, hey, are you deliberately mocking me?"
Chrissy glanced at him and added lightly: "Not against anyone."
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Wayne quickly intervened in the conversation.
"Chris is right~Tasia's temper is so bully, it's easy to suffer when dealing with others."
He explained: "Sometimes it is clearly not your fault, but if you show a trace of guilt, some people who like to shirk responsibility will blame all the mistakes on you without any psychological burden."
"This is a skill in interpersonal communication. It does not mean that you have to have a bad attitude towards others, but that you have to clearly define the boundaries of each other's responsibilities, so that it is more conducive for both parties to get along."
In this survey, Tasia also wrote in detail about her own experience as one of the samples.
After listening to Tasia's self-narration before and reading the past she wrote, Wayne only felt that he didn't know what to say.
Tasia lost her father when she was very young and grew up relying on her mother to support her. However, although a mother's love is great, it cannot replace all other things.
——Young Tasia wants to make friends.
But I don’t know if she was trying to please too much or if the little girls were too jealous. In short, before she was promoted to the school headquarters, there was no successful case. Instead, she was often bullied by the girls.
Um……
Such a strange experience may just be a pure "setting".
After all, it’s really hard to imagine that with Tasia’s angelic appearance and personality, she wouldn’t have even a single friend.
However, it doesn’t matter if it’s a setting or something else. It must be uncomfortable to be rejected and ostracized by other people all the time.
Hearing this, Tasia was thoughtful.
"But if that happens, maybe everyone will think that I am difficult to get along with..."
"Don't you think you are too easy to get along with?" Wayne couldn't help but asked, "Is it dough? Anyone can give it a hammer."
Tasia glanced at Wayne with a strange expression but said nothing.
In the six-person group, except for the others who expressed their opinions at the beginning of the meeting, only Tasia and Wayne were left to discuss how to write the script.
The rest of the people were lying on the table watching in boredom.
After waiting for a long time, Lawrence finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"I said, Wayne...can those of us who are not involved please leave first?" He spotted an opening and interjected.
When Wayne raised his head, he realized that in the row opposite, Gavin was lying on the table and fell asleep, and Molly also looked drowsy.
He was speechless and said: "Forget it, you go back first."
Letting them stay is nothing more than collecting heads.
Lawrence was so happy that he wanted to leave.
"That's right!" Wayne stopped him, "Lawrence, you are responsible for managing the relationships behind it. It would be terrible if our research was blocked halfway by some inexplicable people and was not allowed to be published."
To be on the safe side, it's better to find something for him to do.
Lawrence's expression suddenly became serious.
As if he had received some important task of safeguarding world peace, he nodded slowly towards Wayne and said solemnly: "I understand."
……What do you unserstand?
Well, forget it.
Feeling tired, Wayne waved to him and told him to go ahead and do whatever he had to do, and then he immersed himself in the discussion with Tasia again.
When they finally came out of the conference room after finishing today's tasks, it was completely dark outside.
"Tasia, let's take you back together."
The others had already left, and Chrissy also yawned and focused on Wayne again.
It was obvious that she was just accompanying him to draw graffiti in a boring way, but after it was over, she looked even more tired than Wayne.
"Well, thank you." Tasia put today's harvest back into the bag.
"Keep today's efficiency, and in a day or two, we should be able to complete the first draft." Wein said.
After writing the first draft, you need to find a teacher for guidance and then revise it into a second draft.
Although the title is [Research Report on Why Commoners Can Awaken Magic], due to the limitations of the research conditions, the actual content is more focused on summarizing "the necessary factors for awakening magic."
After discussion, Wayne and Tasia basically agreed on their opinions and put forward three conjectures.
1. Awakened people look forward to new changes in life from the bottom of their hearts.
2. Awakened people have violent emotional fluctuations, and most of them are negative.
3. Awakened people will not show any signs before the critical moment comes. Even if they are siblings, one of them may have magic power and the other will not be able to awaken. Therefore, it is more likely to be a sudden and unexpected event.
In addition, there are other less certain contents, which the two men also fully discussed.
It's just that some of those things are not convenient to write down, and there is no sufficient basis to support them.
For example, Venn believes that the awakening of magic does not necessarily require a noble ancestor.
According to their investigation, there were even cases where a person who was born in a remote village and had been a commoner for the past seven generations suddenly became a magician in the eighth generation.
From a biological genetic perspective, if magic qualifications really rely on bloodline inheritance, then after so many dilutions, the concentration of the "magician bloodline" contained in the person's body should be very low, and the characteristics will be extremely unstable.
To put it bluntly, even if a commoner is lucky enough to awaken to magic, his descendants are more likely to return to their normal family appearance and disappear into the public eye.
But in fact, this is not the case.
