Chapter 677 – For Whom the Island Is Moved (5)
***
“Hello husband! I heard there was a notice from the society?!”
─Rumble! Dana came in as she pushed open the door, and exclaimed with joy as if it were her own.
Because I really want my husband. That’s why it’s no use even if you usually tickle. Looking at Dana like that, I smiled and offered her a seat on the couch next to her.
“Yes. Let’s open it together.”
“Of course it should!”
Dana and I decided to open the paperwork together. I even thought of calling all her wives to open it, but as she didn’t know what the contents would be, she gave up.
‘I’m preparing for marriage, but it’s kind of like showing me that I’m working hard on other things.’
Anyway, what makes this so tense?
I caught my breath and cut the seal on the paper with a knife. This is me who went through a part-time job at a convenience store and a 3-year sentence as a slave. Cutting tape is easier than breathing.
“By the way, isn’t it pretty fast when you think about it? I’m just about to turn 1 year of my master’s degree. A very high-speed promotion model.”
“Throwing a few artifacts must have had a big impact.”
“Are you going to do that too?”
Could it be the effect of writing a regular thesis after bringing the fountain I received from Sehetefibra or some other items? The promotion came out faster than expected.
Chow-! I took out the papers.
I read her from the first chapter with her shoulder to shoulder with me.
Excluding the lengthy introduction and complicated introduction, the content was roughly like this.
─The quality of the thesis has improved markedly compared to the previous dissertation. As an on-site archaeologist, he has the technical skills to excavate historical materials without damaging them.
─In view of the other multiple cases, it was judged that the subject had made sufficient contributions to the academic world.
—So, Nord Wolfheddin was recommended as a candidate for this year’s promotion test. Within 60 days, you must return the silver medal thesis or documents that indicate your refusal to take the exam.
─The deadline for submitting the silver medal thesis is this summer.
—Asherad Cynthia, chairperson of the Higher Degree Promotion Board.
Flutter…
I read the name of the signer and turned the paper over, but that was the end of the content.
“… Are you done with this?”
Dana shuddered as if she had a tantrum.
“What the fuck. You submitted your regular thesis as well! There are a few relics that I received and ate. Isn’t it okay to give them a special promotion for a master’s silver medal?!”
“It is not good to set a precedent. If you don’t do it right, there will be a climate where you can buy a degree with money.”
If that’s the case, at most the other master’s and doctoral degrees will be shit.
Isn’t that especially true for a bastard who has a lot of corners to come in money like me? Even if I boast about winning a Ph.D., If they are suspected of saying, “Isn’t that because you poured money into it?”
Dana was speechless for a moment, then she gnashed her teeth.
“No shit, no matter what! Aren’t you angry? As usual, ‘Keeeee” I can’t accept this reality!!”
“Khehehe. What is the protest?”
She giggled consciously as she analyzed the reasons with her elite cologne.
‘Is it until summer? It looks like I was hit with the eligibility cutoff quite late.’
According to Nunna’s words, there were enough qualifications.
‘Still, it’s too late for the notice to arrive.’
In other words, it means that there was an argument over my qualifications to the limit.
I scrutinized the paperwork.
Although it was a stylized notice, I caught a hint of an argument behind it.
‘… I’ll never be able to say it, but Dana’s influence seems to be there as well.’
Gakyeon. Delay. Kindred.
It is a trifecta of personal connections that cross the world.
But isn’t networking a thing that causes inequality when used openly? Would my eyes go round if I saw someone else sticking to the test I failed?
Places that prioritize ability, such as academia, should avoid bad habits based on academic ties.
‘Dana and I are from the same lab at the same university.’
However, it wasn’t long after I went out to work in the field, wasn’t my Nunna appointed as the head of the research center in Sargadis, where I left?
‘Besides, the quality of my thesis improved before and after that.’
Dana, who had a school relationship with me, came in as my wife, and the quality of the thesis increased rapidly before and after that?
‘It’s more foolish not to be suspicious.’
Even if you look like an asshole who subdues a smart female doctor into writing a thesis, you won’t have anything to say.
No, there’s a lot to say, but that’s about it anyway.
Of course, even if the judges rejected us saying, “We look like dicks?”, It was nothing special. In fact, it is true that Dana helped her with her post-graduation.
“… Do you think the difference in quality between papers is the cause?”
“Yes. He must have been anxious to be promoted because his skills were inconsistent.”
She left out saying it was because of Dana, but this smart older sister lowered her eyes as if she noticed everything she didn’t say.
“Oooooh. My sister, do you feel sorry for her husband? It’s not your fault, so feel free.”
“… What.”
─Pat. She said not to worry and comforted Dana.
‘Actually, I have some regrets about this.’
Yerna. The fact that he had rushed through my thesis, which I had been working so hard to prepare.
Because that was the reason why the quality of the papers I wrote when I debuted in academia was so damn good.
‘Thanks to that, I rushed to make it in a short period of time, and the degree of perfection was a mess.’
There was also a place where I wrote my thesis in an insane state because I was being ninjaed.
The result is the current master’s degree.
This meant that it was almost a degree obtained through certification.
The quality of a thesis written with so much effort and time is inevitably different from a thesis made mentally out of time and driven by time. You can tell just by writing the report.
‘That’s why I became the subject of suspicion.’
Looking at it that way, it was surprising that they were given the qualifications to take the test.
Do you want to take this opportunity to prove your abilities?
‘… No I don’t think that’s all there is to it.’
I wonder if it was because I thought that far and understood everything.
I caught the intentions of the professors who had not even spoken a single word in this document.
“──Mana granting technique.”
“What?”
The core of Dynamis Workshop. A skill that engraves mana into metal.
It was a suggestion to write it as a thesis.
“If you think about it that way, it makes sense.”
As I have said many times, other world archeology is the study of restoring artifacts and techniques from ancient civilizations. So it was practical and highly preferred.
A skill that turns silver into mithril.
Lost technology from the golden age, higher than the alchemy that turns lead into gold.
‘The fact that it was restored is itself a great achievement for an archaeologist.’
If I establish this as a dissertation, it may immediately go beyond a PhD and hit a professor’s degree.
Because it’s such a valuable skill.
“… Under. But there’s no mention of that, right?”
When I explained it, Dana murmured coldly.
“You didn’t write a dissertation with that technology, but it must have been pretty disgraceful to run a business?”
“I guess so.”
It is the same as the Platinum class of the Adventurers Guild.
It is not something that is given just because of skills, but something that is given only when we are sure that the person ‘belongs to us’.
If not, disasters will happen where people working in other groups carry at least one high-ranking adventurer qualification like a word license.
If the screening becomes herbal, the value of the license will also decrease.
Dana said while examining the papers.
“This fight, is this Asherard Cynthia the instigator here?”
“There’s nothing to argue with, but I guess it’s probably not.”
“Why?”
“When the ringleader puts his name on the line, it means to openly attack him. However, there is no mention of artificial mithril, and you can clearly see that they are holding it in check while watching the season, right?”
At the vague explanation, Dana said as if she realized it.
“The culprits you didn’t like are trying to hide and watch the situation?”
“I guess so. When a group grows, it divides internally. Rather than the archaeological world trying to do something to me with one heart——”
“—Isn’t the faction that wants to boil you down and disturb you inside the judging panel?”
“Hey, it’s my older sister. If you pretend, you pretend.”
There must have been such a story with a high probability behind this promotion test.
A group that pursues profit and a group that values knowledge.
It’s a very common confrontation, so there’s no inspiration at all.
“They probably expected me to be pissed off at the slow promotion compared to my achievements. You said I am looking at the liver.”
I rubbed my forehead as I roughly organized the papers. If it’s not a problem that can be solved by getting angry, it’s right to keep calm, right? Please refer to this as it is the wisdom of life.
“If I don’t publicize the issue, it’s easy to get the hang of it, and even if I get over this well, I can turn my palms and pretend to be friendly. You don’t do business that loses money.”
Do business It’s a perfect expression.
It’s literally not a scholar, but a merchant’s mindset that has gone mad with gains and losses.
Due to the nature of the archaeological world, which is an elite group, it is not possible to do much. It can be said that a part of the academic world that prefers the Congo and interests over research is in the middle.
‘Are you going to make me feel bad, approach me pretending to be a third party, and suck my marrow?’
This seasoned misdeed… I feel the wave of ‘professor’.
Vaccination with the precedent of the year of Yerna——No. If I hadn’t suffered from measles, I might have suffered with my eyes open.
In fact, because of that experience, I also doubted Hi Ro Main over the cover.
‘But it seems it wasn’t an empty room this time.’
I learned the duality of being a ‘professor’ between two opposing professors, Yerna and Hiromain.
It was paradoxical. I didn’t define all professors as evil, so I was able to avoid falling into the trap set by evil professors.
If he hadn’t experienced it on both sides, he would have been foolishly epileptic and would have inflamed his hatred for Professor Ammon. Kang Buk-ho of the past was 100% ‘Professor? I’m sure he would have been consistent.
After all, failure is the mother of success, and people seem to be creatures that learn from mistakes.
“Ugh, the method is filthy and shady, giving me goosebumps…”
Dana licked her forearm and stuck out her tongue.
Then, as if he was a little proud or embarrassed, he casually touched me and smiled.
“I’m glad I noticed in advance. Seriously, damn my husband, how nice it would be if he was like this every day.”
“I am restraining myself because I fear that my wives will go blind if I look better than now.”
“Sir, I want you to refrain from fucking, not brain activity. It’s really embarrassing to have your wives reseal every time their bean pods start to peel off, right?”
“Call me the Surgeon of Love.”
Putting the notice in the drawer, I went back to work.
It is not that the dissertation was not ready right away.
If you hear the news of Atlantis, it’s obvious that the academic world will come running to this place.
‘If it’s an archaeologist, I can use it for ownership disputes.’
I laughed wickedly like a scheming tycoon. Although it was a little bit of a jail that the one wearing next to it was not a black cat, but a flat beauty.
Anyway, didn’t the emperor of Britannia also say that?
The only ones who can play with the pen are those who are prepared to be hit by the pen holder.
