Choose your major (2)

At Helios, there is time to have a meeting with a professor before choosing a major.

The purpose is to seek advice from professors as majors cannot be changed once selected and have a great influence on students’ futures.

The advice given is largely about aptitude and future.

There are professors who offer encouragement or mentoring, but at least not the professors in this office.

“·······.”

Estelle looked at the door of the office, which was firmly closed.

Yujin Kang’s office.

She went to his office to get an interview to major in Mathematics.

Stress, don’t.

Because I am a person far from tension.

My heart is beating… it’s probably just because of my physical condition.

He gave a small nod and brought his hand to the door, then lowered it again.

Then, for no reason, I straightened my coat and touched my hair.

no problem right? yeah there won’t be

I checked several times and then knocked on the door.

smart-

“Come in.”

In the office, there was Kang Yu-jin, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.

The day has become quite hot, but the coat, gloves, mask and hat are still the same.

He glanced at Estelle and spoke in a low voice.

“Sit down.”

“Yeah.”

Yujin Kang pulled out a document from the file folder next to her.

It was Estelle’s student record book.

“1st choice vs. Mathematics. 2nd and 3rd choices weren’t few.”

“I want to major in anti-mathematics, and I have the ability to do so.”

“Well.”

It wasn’t arrogant.

Estelle had already proved her words sexually.

Yujin Kang also nodded without saying anything because he knew that.

Is that also part of recognition?

Estelle stared at Yujin Kang, blinking her eyes.

The other professors seem to be ready to give up even if I just go to them.

Kang Yoo-jin’s reaction is really plain.

“Your ability, ‘Sacred Fire’, can attack, but it also has a high propensity for healing or purification. As it has complex characteristics, ‘Magic Mechanics’ or ‘Character Control Studies’ would be better.”

And even recommending a completely different subject.

It was advice that took into account Estelle’s position and was considerate.

He is clearly different from other professors who are blinded by achievements and talented people and try to attract even one more professor.

There was something about him that transcended his achievements and reputation as a professor.

Could it be called the lofty gaze of a so-called genius?

Estelle was attracted to Kang Yu-jin’s side.

“It’s okay. I’ve already made up my mind.”

“Hmm. Then I won’t stop you. It’s your decision, so I’ll respect it.”

“Yeah.”

He signed the ‘approval’ section of Estelle’s document on the spot.

Originally, it was necessary to go through a grade review, but it was unnecessary for Estelle, the first year senior.

While he was putting the papers in, Estelle got up from her seat and took a book out of her arms.

It was an academic journal in the April issue of Veritas, which contained Yujin Kang’s thesis.

Estelle approached Yujin Kang and held out her journal.

“What.”

“Please sign.”

“·······?”

curious eyes.

Faced with that, Estelle continued with her heart beating a little.

“I saw the professor presenting his thesis.”

That day, Altair was among the families who had gathered to see Yujin Kang’s presentation.

No wonder. Because they were the family that guaranteed his name.

Although she couldn’t talk to Yujin Kang, Estelle watched Yujin Kang’s presentation from a far away VIP seat.

A charisma that was confident even in front of famous doctors and families.

Eyes that gave trust, and a solid, low-pitched voice that explained difficult theories.

And, with all of that, an overwhelming result that captivated the audience.

Estelle watched the entire process as if possessed.

“It was great.”

“·······.”

Kang Yoo-jin looked at the held out journal and silently wrote her signature on it.

Estelle accepted the journal and said with a faint smile.

“thank you.”

“yes.”

“I’m glad I’m majoring in your subject.”

At those words, Yujin Kang also looked at Estelle and replied.

“I am also happy to teach great students.”

“·······.”

“Then let’s go out.”

rattle-

I left the office and carefully leaned my back against the door.

Blinking his eyes, he raised his hand and placed it on his chest.

pounding-

heart was beating fast.

‘I’m also happy to teach great students.’

That voice, the voice that was happy to teach you, echoed in my head.

Feeling the beating of her pounding heart, she couldn’t help but admit it.

“I must have been nervous.”

I’ve never had anything like this before.

Feeling a strange and thrilling feeling, she quietly moved on.

*

108 people.

It was the number of students who requested an interview with Yujin Kang in one day.

It’s not difficult to deal with because most of the conversations are trivial, but as the number increased, I had no choice but to get tired.

“No one can even become a professor.”

Still, the fact that the interview ended today was comforting, if at all.

Besides, there was also a harvest.

Estelle, of course, Cynthia and Encia.

Because they both said they would major in anti-mathematics.

“I don’t know about Ensia, but this child is righteous.”

Cynthia is far from combat.

So I thought I would major in ‘Pure Magic Theory’ or non-combat elective courses with a high percentage of theory.

‘What’s good is good.’

There’s nothing wrong with a talented student saying he’ll major in my subject.

Besides, Cynthia is second in the first year. You don’t even have to look at the grades.

Although Ansia is a bit intermittent.

“·······.”

I sighed quietly as I looked at the application documents piled up next to me.

It was an angle that would have to stay up all night again to review this.

I’ll have to hire an assistant soon.

smart-

“Well?”

Then, there was a knock on the office door.

It’s past the interview time, who is it?

“Who are you?”

Then, through the gap in the open door, a person poked his head out.

Purple eyes in white hair.

It was Skadi.

There is only one reason why the professor who always came and went like my living room came out so awkwardly.

“What are you asking for?”

“No, I don’t have to ask for anything~”

“I hate interruptions. Summarize in five seconds or less.”

“Ah, why are people so moodless?”

“5…4…”

“Ah! I came to ask for a review on the thesis! Ouch!”

She held out a note.

Filled with runes and magic circles, it seemed as if she had written down a new and improved version of the circle magic formula she had been studying.

“I don’t think I’m at the level of criticizing Professor Skadi’s thesis.”

“The one who wrote ‘Circle Multiparameterization’? It’s cool enough, so please take a look.”

“·······.”

I looked at Skadi with narrow eyes.

I know that Skadi has already published several papers on this subject.

That’s how confident you are in the topic of your dissertation.

You can judge for yourself whether the content is good or bad.

“Hmm···.”

well, nothing bad

Since there is something to be exchanged, maybe I can ask for something later.

I picked up my pen and started calculating the formula she made.

The means, of course, were mathematical formulas, and the blank paper he took out began to be covered in black with numbers and symbols.

After all, is the thesis of an SS-class hunter different?

It’s quite difficult, so it takes me quite a while to check.

“Wow… It’s done with real numbers and symbols…”

is that so strange

I’m sorry, but I’m more comfortable with this than the rune language.

After all, I’ve only used formulas for 20 years, but just because it’s better doesn’t mean rune words will fit my body.

“It’s over. It’s a good spell.”

“That’s right?”

“The magic system has been improved compared to before, and the output has improved by nearly 13%. The stability is a little disappointing, but you solved this by adding the ‘endurance’ magic formula.”

Skadi’s eyes twinkled with pressure as she returned the thesis.

“That’s right! I thought you would recognize it!”

“I thought you would recognize…?”

“The other professors didn’t even know a thing!”

“·······.”

Now that I look at it, it seems that this is not a review, but just to show off because the paper was well selected.

Did you bring it to me because other professors didn’t recognize it?

Not even a kid…

“Because honestly, even the examiners don’t understand my thesis?

“Is that so.”

“If only I had someone like you, it would be very convenient to write a dissertation.”

Then, he looks at me with a soft look.

“You know.”

“…?”

“You, don’t you want to review the thesis?”

“…it’s sudden.”

When it comes to thesis review, it is the thesis evaluation conducted by the ‘Pan-dimensional Academic Alliance’.

Although it is a prestigious position for grading and grading papers, in many ways I was not qualified to apply for it.

“I don’t think it’s possible because I don’t have a career.”

“I’ll recommend it. If it’s my letter of recommendation, it will be possible.”

“Then why don’t Professor Skadi do it?”

“I… just don’t have the confidence to look at other people’s papers objectively…”

It wags its tail gently and makes a noise.

So, after all, isn’t it the sound of asking me to go in and evaluate my thesis properly?

“Yeah, but! If you’re an auditor, your professor’s grade goes up well! It’ll have a lot of impact on your IF!”

“Hmm···.”

It’s a little appetizing.

Not all professors are the same, but there are many different types.

Even in the district, there were full professors, special appointment professors, chair professors, and so on, but here it is simply divided into grades.

1 star, 2 star, 3 star.

The evaluation criteria are the performance and influence of the professor.

Since the dissertation examiner belongs to a high-ranking position, it greatly affects the professor’s rank.

As the professor’s credibility increases, the credibility of the professor’s thesis increases, and the number of citations increases accordingly.

The IF is the ‘Thesis Citation Factor’, which is the index at which the paper was cited, and if it goes up, it also affects the professor’s grade.

It is a kind of virtuous cycle.

“how about it?”

“I’ll think about it.”

“Huh… how precious is my letter of recommendation… I’m having a hard time getting no one else…”

“I’m too busy to accept right now.”

I’m not kidding, I’m really busy.

It’s to the point where even two bodies aren’t enough.

“First, select an assistant…”

“You just need to hire an assistant!? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

“What else is that-“

“Only I believe!”

Then he sprints away and runs away.

Seriously, you can’t be the type that gets tired just by talking.

I shook my head and immersed myself in paperwork again.

‘Thesis review…’

The examiner’s job that Skadi said.

Maybe… it might not be that bad.

*

The editorial department at Veritas was a department that I felt like working in these days.

A paper on the recently published ‘Circle Multiple Mediating Theory’.

Interest in Veritas exploded with just that paper.

Originally, it was an academic journal that competed for first and second place, but now it overwhelmingly beat its rival, ‘Cluster’, and solidified its first place.

It’s a level that can’t even be compared with ‘Nebula’ G, who is in 3rd place.

Thanks to that, the editor-in-chief who was in charge of him never left a smile these days.

smart-

“Come in.”

He greeted his subordinates with a friendly smile.

However, that smile was quickly shattered by the news she had brought.

“Currently, the movement towards the Mage Tower is unusual.”

“It’s not serious? What do you mean?”

“They say they’re creating a new department dedicated to Yujin Kang. They’re reorganizing based on the academic journals affiliated with the Mage Tower…”

“what!”

He picked up the handed report as if stealing it.

The contents of the report were really unusual.

It was a report that the ‘Cluster’, an academic journal affiliated with the Mage Tower, pushed out to second place this time, was preparing an outpost to contact Yujin Kang.

There is even a record that Mason, the owner of the magic tower, has already met Yujin Kang.

The editor-in-chief’s complexion deteriorated extremely.

“…How likely is it that Professor Yujin Kang will write a multi-mediation class thesis?”

“These days, the professor’s behavior is unusual. He is also very famous in Helios. It wouldn’t be strange if something even greater than that was the same.”

“Shit···.”

I thought the check would come someday, but it was too fast.

Isn’t it unprecedented that the mage master, famous for his slow response, moved so quickly.

‘If the magic tower lord shows that much interest… it’s at least on Skadi’s level or higher.’

The power of Professor Skadi’s dissertation is truly amazing.

There is even a saying that the ranking of journals for that month is determined by where she publishes her thesis.

However, one more person might come out.

If the owner of the Magic Tower is interested, this cannot be called speculation.

“Listen carefully. Focus unconditionally on your relationship with Professor Yujin Kang.

“How do I approach it?”

“As a new professor, you’ll need a lot of things like research funds and affiliated researchers. Find a way to apply for those things.”

“Yeah.”

After sending the staff out, he was deeply troubled.

Right after I submitted my thesis, I was very careless.

The magic tower’s quick reaction is so unusual.

‘How did you steal first place? I can’t hand it over again.’

He blazed with a blazing glow in his eyes.

Yujin Kang’s dissertation can never be taken away.
