Jasmine shrugged her shoulders, no longer agonizing over the problem.
Not only did Jasmine and Link receive the news that the “paper” had passed review and was successfully published.
There was also Elise Clark from the school’s office of dispute and accident investigation and mediation.
How could the academy not intervene in time when dozens of apprentices in the North District were causing a public disturbance on the lakeside lawn, openly holding a showdown?
Wizard Cody stared at the dozens of battered apprentices before him, his face as grim, his mood far from pleasant.
Especially when among the crowd of battered and downcast apprentices, a guy emerged who was not only unhurt but also had a happy smile on his face!
“Elise Clark, are you happy?”
Wizard Cody grunted, deciding not to spoil Serene’s best friend, Renee Clarke’s sister.
“I’m happy.”
Who’s Elise?
A mad woman who fears nothing once she gets going.
Just received good news, she naturally would not suppress her emotions, even ignoring the storm clouds on Wizard Cody’s face.
“Is that so?”
Seeing that Elise was not only unrepentant but even more egregious, behaving with an invincibility that was impervious to oil and salt, Wizard Cody laughed out of anger, “Then, share with everyone, so we can all experience the joy of fighting, getting hurt, being punished, and still being so happy.”
“Eh…”
Rationality kicked in for Elise, only then did she notice the not-so-right expression on Wizard Cody’s face and the mockery in his tone.
But who is she, what has she ever been afraid of?
Since Wizard Cody did not scold her but had a special request instead, why not oblige him?
So, Elise slightly raised her head, propping up her chin,
First she glanced sideways at Tracey Lucia, whose hair she had burned off a bit,
Then she looked down on Luna Colonna and Nash Johnson, who were the key figures in the opposing group’s research project,
Directly ignoring the “intellectually-challenged” Parry Percival,
Then proudly proclaimed:
“My collaborator, Link Grande and his ‘Do Whatever You Like’ recently completed a research project, and consecutively published seven ‘papers’.
As the providers of the experimental materials and part of the funding, my partners and I were very fortunate to have been credited with one first author, two second authors, and three third authors.
Easily, we received a negligible amount of ‘Academic Points’.”
Elise deliberately paused for a while to let everyone digest it.
Then she emphasized loudly: “The research topic was nothing special, it just ‘clashed’ with Tracey’s research topic, oh no, Tracey heard that somebody had applied for the research topic and started her own in a hurry, trying to uphold her family tradition.”
Speaking of this, Elise couldn’t help but sneer mockingly:
“So what happened? Just as Tracey’s research was starting, Link Grande already had his results ready. After one setback, there won’t be another chance for you Lucias to uphold your ‘excellent tradition’.”
“Elise, you…”
The continuous mockery made Tracey Lucia lose her cool and she ended up shouting angrily.
“Keep quiet!”
Wizard Cody suddenly yelled and exuded the oppressive aura of a Tier 3 Wizard.
Ten times the pressure that Link had once felt instantly descended onto Tracey Lucia.
With a thud.
Tracey fell heavily to her knees.
Her whole body trembled, her teeth chattering incessantly.
With a spurt, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her head tilted, and she blacked out.
Utterly humiliated.
