What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 143 Three Topics
Colin walked out of the newly rented residence and walked to the Ilia Higher Magic Academy not far away like a real office worker.

Inside the office.

Dorothy carefully read the materials on the table.

In fact, her appearance can only be considered average, but she knows how to dress up very well. Her red lips, white teeth, gold-rimmed glasses, and magic robes around her body perfectly outline her figure, and her every move reveals a sense of temptation.

Although she only worked in the administration of the academy, Dorothy was still a mid-level magician who had passed the examination.

"Mr. Snape, according to the previous contract, the current tentative salary for you is 4.5 gold francs per week. Of course, this amount will increase every year with the end of the probationary period."

"I've read the contract carefully, and I have no opinion on this." Ke Lin thought that every time he teleported, he would spend more than 400 gold lang. There is really no need to worry about these small money, but he can't act too casually, otherwise How much will be suspicious.

"The school's cafeteria is in the northwest corner, and the dining place for teachers is on the second floor, or you can ask the staff to deliver meals to the office at regular intervals. Meals, rent subsidies, and transportation subsidies will be paid separately..."

"Compared to this, I hope to get the library's information as soon as possible." Colin interrupted the other party at the right time, and made his own request with a smile.

"Ah." Dorothy adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and said with a charming smile: "You are indeed a magician who concentrates on academics, please rest assured, just as agreed before, you have the honor of being second only to the principal of Ilia College. Library permissions, but because you have just arrived, a lot of identity information is still being perfected, if you pass now, there is a high probability that you will be stopped by staff who don't know you."

"Maybe I can take a look at the location first," Colin insisted.

"Of course there is no problem with that."

Dorothy glanced at the timer on the wall and said with a smile: "It's just lunch time, why don't we go to eat first, and then let me take you around the school by the way, although not as famous as Cambridge, but our The campus is bigger than them and the environment is better, I believe you will like it."

Ilya is a typical resort city, and as the only advanced magic academy in the city, it is also the best academy in the Principality of Banna. The public area of ​​the campus is open to the public.

Therefore, the school spends a lot of money on the maintenance and improvement of the campus environment every year.

Colin no longer had a suitable reason to refuse this time, so he nodded in agreement.

The climate in Ilia is warm and humid. The campus at the end of September still has obvious summer characteristics. The sun is hot, the trees are lush, and the sea breeze blows, and the leaves are rustling, but it also brings refreshing coolness.

On the top floor of the cafeteria, in the private room only for senior teachers, Dorothy handed over the plate with the food, and then sat down gracefully and began to eat.

"Mr. Snape, I wonder if you have any research projects at present?"

"To be honest." Colin swallowed a piece of gray taro stained with onion and beef juice, lamenting that Ilya's food is not worthy of its status as a "tourist city", and said:
"During the half a year in Cambridge, I have exhausted too much energy, so after the graduation thesis is over, I have never touched specific research. I am currently only reading two books on magical archeology in the Anxi era. Let your mind relax and rest."

"It's really unbelievable to finish the so-called hell-difficult Cambridge magic pattern major in only half a year."

"It's not easy for Ms. Dorothy to advance to the middle class at her age."

"That depends on who we compare with." Dorothy gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile, "In the eyes of someone like you who can relax with books on history and archaeology, our intelligence is probably no different from monsters."

"Ma'am, you are too good at joking."

Colin knew very well why Dorothy brought up the subject.

In addition to the role of teaching, the Higher Academy of Magic in the Western Continent is mainly responsible for magic research.

Most of the high-level magicians of the Magic Federation will serve as professors in various colleges, but the energy of teaching only occupies a small part of them, and most of the time is still devoted to the research of various topics.

Even the main indicators of the comprehensive strength of the major colleges are how many achievements they can produce in research, the papers published by the colleges every year, and the various awards they have won.

As for how many excellent students can really be taught, it is not the most important thing. Even the purpose of cultivating students is to provide fresh blood for the academic research of the college. Therefore, when Colin left Cambridge, even Bryant Grand Duke Shinakdu asked someone to bring a letter to keep him.It shows how much colleges and universities attach importance to talents.

Elia School of Magic hired Cohen Snape, of course, there are also considerations in this regard.

Generally, specially hired professor-level magicians will have two choices, either to bring a topic with them, or to choose an existing topic of the college for research.

The college will decide how much support to give after consideration, and the two parties will redistribute the benefits after the results. Of course, as the college, the biggest benefit is still reputation, so in many cases, magicians will receive all material support. The price is only to associate the college with the signature of the paper.

Ke Lin didn't make it difficult for the other party, and offered to ask: "Can I hear what topics the college currently has?"

"If you don't have a good choice for the time being, I'm happy to help."

Dorothy ate less than one-sixth of the food, put down the tableware, and introduced: "There are many research groups in the college, but there are probably only five or six research groups that are worthy of your status and professional counterparts. If you exclude those who already have someone in charge, there are only three left.”

"Which three are they?"

"One is the optimization idea of ​​the basic framework of the No. [-] soil magic pattern; the other is the research on improving the energy conversion rate of the burning magic pattern group; the last one is the impact of the high-energy collapse of the water element on the water system magic pattern."

Dorothy introduced it first, and then explained: "About the last topic being too broad... You know, more than half a year ago, His Excellency Felix, the great magician of the Principality of Osteria, was received by a mysterious With the help of a proof of Laxili's fourth conjecture, the theoretical system of high-energy collapse of water elements has been successfully completed, so our college also hopes to make breakthroughs in this area."

Colin nodded, and asked again: "Second, the subject of the burning magic pattern group, I heard that it was previously in charge of Iris Your Excellency?"

"Indeed." Dorothy nodded: "However, Your Excellency Iris thought that he could not solve the contradiction between 'system thermal balance' and 'the third law of thermal disorder', so he voluntarily gave up this subject."

Colin nodded in agreement.

After half an hour.

Dorothy tilted her head and asked cautiously: "So, what is your choice?".

Colin thought of his ultimate purpose of coming here, and after repeatedly evaluating the current situation.

"If no one else is conducting research in these areas for the time being..." He smiled: "I hope to conduct these three subjects at the same time."
