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

However, as the master of the Black Tower, Vimers possesses a complete and detailed understanding of almost everything that happens within the Black Tower...

Within the golden-red eyes of the golden elf girl, a ghostly blue flame flickered.

Time and space around them seemed to distort slightly in the eerie blue firelight...

That was something the wizards called "the secret fire of the goddess of magic," and it was also the origin of Vemus's title "Golden Calamity."

Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she slowly uttered soft words:

"For your proposed blackbody radiation formula to hold true..."

"Therefore, we must assume that the absorption and emission of energy are not continuous—"

"But..."

"One serving at a time?"

Behind the golden elf, the number of spatial rifts expanded several times in an instant, resembling a world-destroying black lightning.

.......

Charles relaxed his body, feeling the almost tangible spatial storm beside him...

teacher......

It seems to be even stronger than I imagined...

The scene before him was somewhat unexpected for Charles.

Ciel noticed Kieran's subtle action of dividing the manuscript, and for the same reason as Kieran, he didn't stop him.

Under these circumstances, the first half of the manuscript that Norton received did not contain much publicly available information.

It only includes formula derivations using the purest mathematical tools, without encompassing deeper interpretations of arcane principles.

A deeper interpretation of arcane magic... requires a statistical approach, analyzing it from the perspectives of entropy and probability... the deduction work is extremely tedious.

However, Vimers succeeded with just one simple formula—

In such a short time, the subsequent steps were completed... Even knowing the methods and ideas, it would have taken a legendary mage several months or even years to complete the arcane deduction process.

and--

At the fundamental level—

She also drew closer to what Charles had hidden in the second half of the manuscript, something that had never been revealed before—

The truth of the world...

.......

Everything around—

They all fell silent and remained completely still.

In the judging panel—

A few legendary mages and archmages who reacted quickly have already realized what was happening.

Their eyes widened in astonishment, a hint of disbelief in them...

Panic.

Many others, however, remained completely bewildered and had not yet realized what was happening.

But seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the archmages on the judging panel, they vaguely sensed something—

Clearly, something earth-shattering has happened...

A momentous event that may change the entire wizarding world will take place within this sacred arcane temple.

Even in Aisveta's live stream, viewers seemed to notice something was off from Aisveta's expression.

The barrage of comments that were originally flooding the screen aimlessly has now become much thinner.

Charles raised his head and calmly looked directly at the golden elf girl in front of him.

He felt only respect for his teacher.

At the very beginning of my transmigration, during my most confused and bewildered time...

It was Vemus who discovered him and brought him to the Tower of Darkness—

This is his brand new place to settle down and make a living.

Charles knew what kind of answer his teacher was hoping to hear from him at this moment...

Giving him a negative answer would be simple, wouldn't raise many questions, and wouldn't cause him any trouble...

but--

It was precisely because he had truly accepted the Dark Tower, just as Vemes had hoped—

He accepted his identity as a wizard...

Charles was unable to give the answer his teacher wanted.

To do that would betray the very essence of a wizard's pursuit of truth and understanding of the world's nature through arcane magic—

It's just... a self-deceptive act of burying one's head in the sand.

then--

A fraction of a second later—

Charles nodded slightly, his calm voice echoing in the silent arcane hall—

"Yes."

.......

After a few breaths.

boom--

Countless voices...

Countless noises and clamor...

It covered the entire Arcane Temple in an instant.

On the platform, the previously calm and casual Archmage Norton suddenly stood up.

He was a pioneer in the field of elemental magic, and a direct participant in the century-long debate between the particle and wave theories of magical radiation.

That is why Norton's reaction was faster than that of the other archmages.

Upon hearing Charles's reply, he abandoned his previous gentle and dignified demeanor, his voice suddenly becoming loud and booming, almost like a roar:

"Your Excellency Charles, are you saying—energy is indeed discontinuous?"

"And by this logic, the real world built upon this foundation is also discontinuous?"

The white-haired dwarf archmage's facial muscles trembled.

He stretched out his thick finger, pointing to the azure sky outside the window of the Arcane Temple—

"Look at the strong wind blowing through the woods outside the window. Is it not continuous?"

"Then tell me, how does the wind leap forward?"

"Feel it, the river of time around you flows eternally, isn't it also discontinuous?"

"Do you really think that transitioning from one second to two seconds doesn't require 1.1 seconds or 1.2 seconds? Do you think it's a direct jump from one to two?"

"You've risen from a mere apprentice who just completed your arcane initiation to a legendary powerhouse whom even I must look up to..."

"This wasn't something you achieved little by little over more than ten years through hard work and talent... but rather a leap you made suddenly in a single moment?"

Do you think this is reasonable? Does it conform to common sense?

"What an absurd idea! What a ridiculous idea!"

"This is simply a glimpse into the past two thousand years... dragons, elves, dwarves, humans... generation after generation of eight-page mages, legends, and archmages..."

"The arcane towers that so many sages painstakingly built have vanished! They have completely strayed from the traditions of wizards!"

"You're just daydreaming! It's a pipe dream!"

Norton's aged face flushed red.

Despite being a highly respected archmage, even the legendary dwarven chieftain in the dwarven kingdom had to humbly accept his advice.

But at this moment, his words were as angry as those of an adventurer in a bar, drinking and arguing.

The dwarven archmage's words were anything but polite...

If this were placed among other major powers in the Western Continent with clearly defined order, such behavior would clearly be considered disrespectful to Xia Er, the legendary figure and deputy tower master of the Black Tower.

But Charles paid no attention to this whatsoever.

The so-called Arcane Path... on that journey in pursuit of truth, there will inevitably be controversy and even arguments.

If someone is powerful and has a high position, people will listen to them and treat their every word and action as gospel...

Then the wizarding civilization would never have progressed, let alone developed to its current glorious and splendid state...

He simply looked calmly at the roaring dwarf elder before him—
