After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

"The formula has been verified without any problems."

"This is a formula that completely solves the defects in the previous wave theory and particle theory formulas, and can be generalized and applied."

"Even though it was derived entirely using mathematical tools, its actual arcane significance still needs further study... and it is still a breakthrough to a considerable extent..."

"Unfortunately, His Highness Charles has already qualified to be awarded the 'Crown of Magic' in this year's Arcane Council meeting."

"The honors brought by this achievement are merely icing on the cake."

"However, as a co-author and second author of this research..."

“Miss Renata, ‘Stars,’ I believe I am qualified to formally obtain the title of Grand Archmage.”

Renata has been a great help to Charles in the past few months, especially in the verification part of the blackbody radiation experiment, which she completed almost entirely on her own.

Therefore, when Charles submitted this work, he naturally included her name as the second author.

On the podium... a hint of hesitation appeared on Norton's aged face.

The assessment of a Grand Archmage is unrelated to strength or actual rank; it is based solely on achievements in arcane theory.

However, generally speaking, a legendary mage who can open their own spiritual ocean and advance to the legendary level must have achieved a considerable degree of success in the field of arcane magic and have the qualifications to become a grand arcane mage.

However, "Stars" Renata is an exception.

Although her rank was already legendary or even far beyond that, she seemed to have appeared out of thin air a few months ago, leaving no trace of her wizarding history in the Western Continent.

The identity of the Grand Archmage is naturally out of the question.

It is reasonable and indisputable to take this opportunity to make up for it now.

However, Norton faced a dilemma when it came to awarding Renata the Grand Arcane Medal...

If we understand magical radiation according to the particle theory...

Therefore, the realm of particles is undoubtedly included within the scope of classical elemental magic, and should be awarded the medal of "Elemental Ruler".

However, if we interpret this formula using wave theory and the equipartition theorem... then it should fall under the categories of the plasticity school and the magnetic field school—that is, the "Master of Energy" medal.

He briefly consulted with the Archmage and several legends on the judging panel...

Finally, the decision was made to award both medals together.

Although he was only the second author, this formula resolved a dispute that had lasted for over a century in the field of arcane arts, and thus qualified him to be awarded two arcane medals at the same time.

.......

"From this day forward...the obelisk of the Black Tower will bear the name of another great arcanist."

Norton let out a soft sigh.

Renata simply nodded to Norton.

Then, with graceful steps, she walked back to the judging panel.

This is also the first official appearance of this woman from the Dawn World, the former Twilight Witch, before the people of the Western Continent...

Unfortunately, this newly crowned legend, known as "Star of the Stars" and whose identity and background are shrouded in mystery, seemed rather aloof. After being awarded the medal, he did not give any speech, but simply nodded and stepped off the stage.

This left many members of various factions who were watching the live stream, eager to be among the first to learn about this new legend somewhat disappointed...

Each legend in the Western Continent possesses an astonishing deterrent force akin to a humanoid nuclear bomb...

Therefore, the intelligence war between major forces targeting legendary powerhouses is particularly crucial. Even without involving combat, trivial information such as personality and preferences is of great value.

However, there are quite a few eccentric people in the legends, so it's not too surprising that these intelligence agents who were staking out the location were disappointed.

"congratulation."

Ciel smiled at Renata as she approached, and she quickly held up her small notebook in response.

"Thanks"

Renata sat down next to Ciel.

She slightly extended her slender, fair fingers, playing with the red and blue medals on her chest that shimmered like starlight.

These two medals, symbolizing the Archmage, are supreme treasures for every wizard, holding immense significance...

Moreover, these two Archmage Medals are also high-level magical items, containing several eighth-circle spells, which can provide considerable assistance in combat even for near-legendary characters.

However, for Renata, whose true status was comparable to that of a true god, these medals were no different from ordinary toys. She was not a wizard who was devout to arcane magic in the strict sense, so she did not particularly care about the honors that wizards treasured...

She only attended this Arcane Council meeting because Charles was there...

That's it.

While fiddling with the gem medal on her finger, Renata secretly glanced at the black-haired, black-eyed wizard beside her with her pale golden eyes.

She and Ciel had spent almost a year together, so Renata was quite familiar with him. Through their long-term collaboration, they could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance...

She could vaguely sense that Charles beside her was not as peaceful and joyful as the atmosphere in the Arcane Council was at that moment...

Rather, it resembled the sky before a mountain rain...

It appears calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging beneath.

Amidst a slight sense of tension...

Yet it also carries within it an undeniable sense that it is about to usher in an entire new era...

A surge of anticipation.

.......

"So, I'm sure you can all guess what happens next..."

"That is... for Lord Charles—"

"A new honor... the 'Crown of Magic' is hereby bestowed."

Norton smiled and spoke only after he had finished awarding Renata the medal.

Nearly three hundred years have passed since the Arcane Hall last awarded the "Crown of Magic"... The previous Crown of Magic was awarded to Taric, the "Electromagnetic Tyrant" who founded the school of magnetics.

Now the crown of magic has appeared once again—

Such a significant matter should naturally be reserved for the very end of the Arcane Council meeting, for the grand finale...

however--

Just as Norton turned and walked off the stage.

Just as he was about to retrieve the shimmering crystal crown from the tray prepared by the waiter below the stage...

Suddenly, an uncontrollable surge of magical energy emanated from within the arcane hall.

Immediately afterwards...

One after another, thin, dark cracks appeared silently, as if swallowing all light... occupying half of the space in the Arcane Hall.

next moment--

A massive spatial storm swept across the entire area, causing the robes of countless wizards to billow and flutter...

.......

This defies common sense...

The magical network and dimensional laws within the Arcane Hall are exceptionally stable, reinforced by countless historical imprints.

But at this very moment...

There was no incantation or charging of magic, just a slight burst of aura...

This caused the magic network throughout the entire arcane hall to become disordered, with overflowing magical turbulence everywhere.

In the Arcane Hall, and even in the live broadcast room, countless eyes simultaneously converged on the instigator of all this.

And in the chief seat of the judges' panel—

The golden elf, who had been leaning back in her chair with her eyes half-open and her body forming a languid curve, slowly stood up from her seat.

A burning light shone in Vimers's beautiful crimson-gold eyes—

Around her, countless dark spatial rifts appeared and disappeared in an instant, and the spatial storm blew up her long, light golden hair, which fell loose over her shoulders.

Vimers stared intently at the person beside her.

This was her most trusted disciple, the only one who had brought her countless surprises.

"The formula for blackbody radiation—"

"What is the essential arcane explanation behind the formula?"

Vemers's words were as cold and detached as ever.

But it carried a seriousness unlike anything Ciel had ever heard before, a seriousness unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

"I know you derived this formula using more than just simple mathematical tools..."

"In fact, it also revealed deeper arcane principles..."

"That guy Zilean... the second part of the manuscript that he took it upon himself to divide for you earlier, it's related to the arcane explanation behind the formula, right?"

Although Vemus didn't say much during the Arcane Council meeting, merely listening silently...

When Charles had Renata deliver the manuscript to Kieran... Vemus herself wasn't even present...
