If Kovalev's guess is correct, Misha standing in front of him is an out-and-out genius.
Misha's sister Dasha is probably also a genius, but unfortunately...
I heard she passed away.
In Kovalev's view, Misha only needs a good teacher now. As the dean of the School of Mathematics of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he is fully qualified and capable of teaching her.
He originally thought that Misha would agree immediately. After all, it is a great honor to study with the dean of the School of Mathematics. Just studying with Kovalev's name can allow students to occupy a place in the scientific research world.
Can...
Misha didn't answer immediately. She didn't seem to be interested in Kovalev's invitation. She just clutched her coat tightly and turned her eyes to Mavey.
She looked at Mavi, causing Kovalev and others to also look at Mavi. Mavi was startled and asked subconsciously: "What are you looking at me for?"
Kovalev said: "Misha wants to ask your opinion, don't you see?"
"You can tell..." Ma Wei looked at Misha in confusion: "Why do you want to ask my opinion?"
Ma Wei is really puzzled. He and Misha just met for the first time today, and they didn’t do anything to trick each other. They are neither relatives nor friends...
Why ask a stranger how to choose at the fork in life?
Misha lowered her head and said nothing. The atmosphere in the church was somewhat silent. There was no other way. Ma Wei was the first to break the silence.
He knelt down in front of Misha and asked softly: "Misha, don't you want to study with Professor Kovalev?"
Misha nodded, then shook her head: "I don't know...my sister didn't let me show my talent before she died..."
"Then why are you trying to solve the Sudoku puzzle in the newspaper?"
Ma Wei does not think that Misha solved the Sudoku problem for the reward. That is not necessary at all, because the reward given by the Truth Church is not generous, and it is not enough to change a person's life trajectory. It can only solve the Sudoku problem. The patient will not have to worry about food for a few days.
"Because... because I want to realize my own value..." Misha whispered: "This is what I am best at..."
"In this case, you should study with Professor Kovalev. He is a professor at the Royal Academy of Sciences and an elite in the scientific research community."
"I...I...I don't want to prove my worth to him..."
Ma Wei opened his mouth and seemed to understand something. After a long time, he asked: "Why?"
"Because you are a good person, Father." Misha raised her head and looked at him intently with her dark brown eyes: "My sister is also a good person, she is kind and smart, I can see that."
"So..." Ma Wei pondered: "You want to use my answer to decide whether to study with Professor Kovalev?"
Misha nodded.
"Sorry, I can't tell you this answer."
Ma Wei stood up and said with a serious expression: "No one can decide your life, including your biological parents. You are not a chess piece or a puppet. You are free to do whatever you want. I will not let you follow Covalho. If your husband teaches you to study and violate the truth, your life is in your own hands. You should ask your heart what you want to do."
Misha fell into silence, maybe she was thinking about Ma Wei's words, or maybe she was thinking about what she wanted to do.
Professor Kovalev and others did not interrupt her thinking, but waited silently. After a few minutes...
"I understand, Father."
A smile appeared on Misha's face for the first time. She walked up to Professor Kovalev and called out "teacher" crisply.
"Okay, okay..."
Professor Kovalev swept away his previous cold expression and smiled like a flower. He took Misha's hand and said, "My name is Kovalev Bloom. From today on, you are my student. I will teach you the best I can."
After saying that, Kovalev pulled Misha and walked out the door. He didn't want the funds, and the vice president didn't care, as if he was afraid that Misha would regret it.
"Hey, Kovalev!"
Vice Dean Alexei looked at the other candidates in the church who had also answered the question, "There are many people here who have answered your question! Don't leave!"
Kovalev, who was about to cross the door, said without looking back: "Alexei, please check them for me. As long as the answers are correct, we will bring them to the Academy of Sciences."
"I'm the vice president!
! "
Kovalev ignored Vice Dean Alexei's roar, pulled Misha and left the church, walking quickly.
"Damn it! I have to deduct their research funds for the next quarter of the college!" Vice President Alexey said angrily: "How dare you order your immediate superior!"
Having said that, Vice Dean Alexey patiently checked the candidates' answers, and finally selected a dozen talented candidates who answered correctly, got on the carriage with other professors, and returned to the Academy of Sciences. .
"Come on, remember to send the reward to Misha and the others tomorrow." Ma Wei reminded: "This is what we promised."
"Don't worry, I've written it all down."
Ma Wei looked at Katerina again: "Thank you, Your Highness, you have helped me a lot."
"Aren't I helping myself by helping you?"
Katerina watched the carriage leave and said disapprovingly: "I didn't expect you to find a good idea."
"With so many refugees gathered in Tyumen City, the probability of a genius appearing is certainly high."
"Are you training them to study magic?"
"Yes." Ma Wei nodded and said: "Among the classics preserved by the Apocalypse Cult, there are 35 parchments, which record 35 kinds of ancient magic. I am planning to find an opportunity to reproduce them, but things like magic circles, A small error can make a huge difference, so we need to continue to promote scientific and technological progress and combine magic and science.”
"Magic is another form of science." Katerina said: "I have something to tell you in advance. When I take power, I will vigorously rectify the Royal Academy of Sciences."
"Why?" Ma Wei raised an eyebrow: "What did the Royal Academy of Sciences do wrong?"
"They are very corrupt."
Katerina took a sip from the tea cup on the table and sneered: "More than half of the scientific research funds have been swallowed up by these honorary professors and deans. Since my father's death, many people have contracted the aristocratic disease. Their lives are extremely luxurious, and of course there are some professors who are still dedicated to studying, but this trend cannot be encouraged."
"Is Professor Kovalev also corrupt?"
"A little bit, much lighter than others, within my tolerance range."
"That's good."
"Father, compared to replicating the magic circle, I think the top priority of the Church of Truth should be to expand its influence and recruit more believers." Katerina said: "The war is still going on, although we have recaptured the A large area of land has driven the enemy back to the west of the Ural Mountains, but they are reorganizing their formation and intend to continue the invasion.... The enemy's line is very long and they do not intend to engage in a large-scale group battle with us, so I need more A few people who can use magic are not enough.”
"I have considered this." Ma Wei thought: "The Church of Truth has indeed reached the moment of large-scale expansion. If we don't do this...how can I get those nobles to hand over the food willingly?"
