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

Chapter 63
Wald couldn't remember how long he hadn't been to the Magic Association. Back then, he also passed the assessment with the first grade in the same period, and was personally received by the president Berkeley Payne.

That night, how many people waited in line at the gate of the association, just to be able to invite him to the banquet they set up.

It's a pity that after more than a year, he was expelled from the association, and those investors who had praised him to the sky immediately shunned him. Today, four years later, he has degenerated from the original star of tomorrow to a dog who lost his family.

He doesn't blame His Excellency Payne, or even those businessmen who only care about profit. After all, no one is obliged to support him for nothing. He only hates himself for having a head full of fantasy, but he has no ability to solve problems.

"Hi, I'm looking for Colin Wayne."

Wald walked to the reception desk anxiously. He spent money to buy the cheapest set of magic robes, but the original badge had been lost, and he was ashamed to come to the association to apply for it.

"May I ask who is calling?"

"Walder... My name is Walder."

"plz follow me."

Unexpectedly smooth.

Because he was completely immersed in his own world, Wald knew nothing about Colin Wayne, a name that has been popular in the magic circle for the past six months. After he went back last night, he also wanted to find out about this person that even Ms. Phinea knew Who was the respectful young man, but he suddenly realized that there was no one around him who he could ask, and instantly felt a loneliness that he had never felt before.

……

The top floor of the library.

In a private reading room, Colin looked at the man in front of him and identified it for a long time before he was sure that it was the Wald from yesterday.

His beard has been shaved, his hair has been washed and combed neatly, the black dust on his face and body has been washed, and he has changed into a cheap but brand new magic robe, giving him a new look.

Except for the thin body and rough skin caused by long-term malnutrition and poor living environment, it is almost impossible to see the original desolation.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

Although I don't know who the young man in front of me is, but being able to give a stranger a gold lang and rent a private room in the library at least shows that his status is not low.This VIP room in the library costs at least 10 silver shields to use once, and I am reluctant to rent it even when I am the richest.

"Please sit down, Mr. Walder, you seem to be in much better spirits."

"Thank you for your gift. After many years, I finally enjoyed meat and red wine again last night. I mean... If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely return the money to you." Wald carefully sat down on the soft On the fur sofa.

Ke Lin was noncommittal about this, closed the book he was reading just now, sat upright, and said:

"I remember you said yesterday that you hope to meet the designer of the camera, right?"

"Yes... yes." Wald nodded a little unconfidently.

"I can help you with this," Colin said.

"thanks……"

"However." Colin interrupted: "Before that, I need you to make some preparations."

"Prepare?"

"Yes."

Colin leaned slightly on the back of the sofa, and said earnestly, "Mr. Walder, do you know what your problem is?"

"my question……"

"You were able to pass the examination with the first score in the written examination. I believe it was due to hard work on theoretical knowledge, but why did you become like this in the next few years?"

"Because..." Wald was speechless for a while.

"From your design writing, I can see that you are very active in thinking and careful in calculation. If you can keep your feet on the ground, it will not be difficult to make a career."

"But I don't like living like that."

Wald clenched his fists unconsciously. His Excellency Payne had said the same thing to him back then, but the endless stream of ideas in his mind made him really unwilling to do other repetitive research.

"This is your problem." Colin said: "Your theoretical knowledge is already quite good, but it's a pity that your ideas are wilder.

"To put it bluntly, your knowledge reserve cannot keep up with your innovative thinking."

After hearing this, Wald stood there in a daze, and then struggled for a long time before saying: "I am the first in the written test..."

"Yes, Mr. Wald, I don't deny this, but ask yourself, how much time will you spend in the library every day after passing the assessment? Have you continued to learn new knowledge besides calculations and experiments?
"If you just want to improve existing magic items, perhaps the knowledge accumulated before is enough, but it's a pity that you set your sights on something completely innovative like 'gramophone'.

"You use the knowledge accumulated during your magic apprenticeship to try to complete research at the level of a great magician. Do you know how outrageous this is? Don't forget that even Schiller Mora failed."

Wald stood there as if struck by lightning.

For many years, he thought that he was not only smarter than others, but also more diligent than others, and he should not have ended up in this situation at all. Some of the magicians who were at the same time as him were wealthy, some had achieved fame, and some had even been promoted to the middle class. However, I was the only one who was most favored at the beginning but was the most downcast.

Could it be that I am so ambitious?

Wald, who realized this, was in more pain than before, and at least had hope every day, but after Colin Wayne's analysis, it seemed that there would never be a chance to turn around again.

Do you really want to go back and do some research that you didn't like at the beginning?
"I'm not reconciled..." He almost gritted his teeth.

"Of course you won't be reconciled. After seeing the sea, how can you stay in the creek? I've told you so much, but I don't want you to lower your figure and do those low-level research."

"But..." Wald looked up in a daze.

"It's commendable to like high fruits, but in order to pick them, I suggest you put a few more bricks under your feet."

After Colin finished speaking, he pointed to the bookshelf beside him.

"Here are 32 research books on sound waves that I selected for you. If you can read them within 10 days and have a certain understanding, I will let you meet the designer of the camera."

"Okay." Wald regained a lot of fighting spirit in an instant.

"I have already prepaid for this room for 30 days, and I have applied for permission to enter the top floor of the library from His Excellency Payne. In addition, the 1 gold Lang I gave you before should be enough for you to spend for a period of time."

"Thank you again for your gift." Wald bowed in greeting.

"Don't rush to thank. If you still haven't been inspired after reading these books, I can only say that even if you meet the designer, it's just one more blow."

"I'll do my best." Wald obviously lost some of his initial arrogance.

Colin stood up, picked up his coat and hat, and walked out of the room.

When he closed the door, he glanced at Wald who had already opened the first book.

"Mr. Walder."

Wald raised his head and looked at Colin Wayne at the door. The young man smiled kindly at him and said, "Remember, there is no end to learning."
