Chapter 641: Chapter 308: Undercurrents (Part 3)
The complexity far surpasses Magic Potion Making and Alchemy, requiring mastery of multiple disciplines such as Rune Magic, Energy Conduction Theory, and Material Science.
More importantly, Enchantnt demands extrely high talent.
An Apprentice without sufficient Spiritual Control precision cannot even successfully depict the most basic stable runes.
And this ability of Spiritual Control is largely innate, difficult to significantly enhance through training later on.
"But precisely because of the high difficulty, the generated Favor effect is stronger... if one can encounter a truly gifted student."
Frederick recalled that chance encounter a few months ago, with that dark-haired young Teaching Assistant—Ron Ralph.
He rely sat in on one lecture and demonstrated an astonishing level of comprehension.
Even more comndable, he was able to pose insightful questions, reflecting a deep contemplation on the essence of Enchantnt.
"If he truly chooses to delve into the study of Enchantnt..."
Frederick couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile at this thought.
Given Ron’s current status and achievents, does he really need to invest effort in Enchantnt?
In recent months, this young "Treasure-level Genius" has been in the spotlight in the Central Lands.
Not only did he win the crown in the "Rainbow Ring" competition on Lance’s morial Day, but he also gained over a thousand Contribution Points with his original academic theories.
What makes his peers most envious is his imnse success in teaching.
It is rumored that Ron’s courses are very popular among students, often exceeding classroom capacity.
The students who attend his lectures unanimously hold him in high esteem.
Such recognition and admiration are converted into a continuous stream of high-quality Favor feedback.
"I heard he has already discovered several students who are exceptionally talented."
Frederick’s pace of packing his teaching materials slowed, with obvious envy in his eyes:
"One of them has even entered the school’s key talent pool, being listed as a future seed training candidate."
This level of achievent is a great honor for any teacher.
To uncover and cultivate true geniuses not only brings imnse Favor feedback but also serves as the best testant to one’s academic standing.
In contrast, although Frederick has nurtured many qualified Enchanters over the years, truly talented students have been few and far between.
This is also a major reason why he remains at the level of an ordinary Lecturer and can’t break into the core teaching circle.
As he was imrsed in these complex emotions, a heavier topic surfaced in his mind.
Cassandra Tower Master is about to return.
This news has been no secret within the Crystal Tower, with various related rumors and speculations swirling in the shadows.
As a veteran teacher who has worked in the school for decades, Frederick has gleaned so unsettling information through his own channels.
The reform about to be pushed by the Conquest Faction is likely to completely change the current managent system of the Crystal Tower.
The traditional Contribution Points system will run parallel to a new "rit System," and academic evaluation standards will undergo major adjustnts.
Even more worriso, those aging Wizards unable to produce sufficient academic results may face difficult choices.
"External assignnt to the Marginal School..."
Frederick softly repeated the phrase that keeps many colleagues awake at night.
On the surface, it’s to strengthen teaching support for marginal areas, but in reality, it’s a disguised form of exile.
Wizards dispatched to those remote schools are ostensibly to fulfill the noble duty of "knowledge dissemination," cultivating more promising seeds for the Crystal Tower.
But everyone knows well that such assignnts often signify the substantive end of an academic career.
The conditions at those marginal schools are rudintary, and resources are scarce, fundantally incapable of supporting high-level research work.
The dispatched Wizards can only spend the rest of their professional lives there, gradually being forgotten by the mainstream academic circle.
Frederick thought of his friends and distant relatives.
Quite a few among them are lanting over the impending reform.
So are frantically writing papers, hoping to elevate their academic prestige before the reform kicks in;
So are trying in various ways to seek shelter, hoping to avoid the fate of external assignnt;
Others simply begin considering early retirent, to preserve the last of their dignity.
But no matter what strategy they take, in the face of the Conquest Faction’s powerful influence, these struggles seem weak and powerless.
Cassandra Saint Manzhi, this legendary Great Wizard and current head of the Crown Clan.
She represents not just individual will but also a major shift in the developnt direction of the entire Wizard Civilization.
From a conservative and steady traditional route to a radically expansionist conquering path.
The impact of this shift will be profound and all-encompassing, leaving no Wizard working in the Crystal Tower unaffected.
"Perhaps... the status of Enchantnt might rise even higher than it is now."
Frederick tried to find a trace of solace in these gloomy prospects.
Conquering the Otherworld requires a large amount of equipnt and Enchantnt Tools, which is precisely the specialty of Enchanters.
From this angle, the importance of Enchantnt will not decrease but might receive unprecedented emphasis.
Those Wizards mastering advanced Enchantnt techniques may very well beco core talents in the new system.
"But the prerequisite is to deliver sufficient actual results..."
