My Prime Minister is so cute

Although there were many rumors, no one gave a definite answer. Only a few students who overheard it at the time swore that they would lie about such a thing. Although they didn't think that someone would lie about such a thing, they still had some doubts in their hearts.

Now that the dean has actually taken the initiative to speak, it has given the matter a definition.

Is it true or false?

"Now, let me tell you, this isn't just a rumor," Dean Osborne said with a smile. "To support young magicians, our academy has indeed invited Sophia to become a preparatory professor."

"Although there are some exceptions, we feel that such exceptions are necessary for a young magician who can solve the Hermann conjecture."

"Talents cannot be treated in the ordinary way; they must be given sufficient respect."

"Over the years, I've also seen that many young magicians, unable to bear the boredom and poverty of exploring the magical field, have chosen to devote themselves to various fields, focusing solely on making money. Some have entered the field of magical machinery and invested in factories. Others have become hired servants, being driven around at will, and neglecting their exploration of magic."

"So when we see a genius so rarely, we can no longer watch him choose to indulge in the mundane reality because of money problems."

"..."

Following the dean's speech, the entire auditorium suddenly became a hot topic of discussion.

This is also a problem that many young magicians are facing now.

Although it is at the top of the academic contempt chain, the total amount of resources is there, and most magic research only inputs but does not output, and it is a huge waste of money. It is really difficult to make a living simply by studying magic, and many people choose to sell their labor in exchange for money.

After all, it is too easy for a magician to make money if he really wants to.

Many places are scrambling to recruit magicians. After all, the technology in this world is dominated by magical technology. The magical machinery in the army and factories all need magicians to inspect and maintain them. Even hiring them as bodyguards is very prestigious.

If all else fails, you can even go to a construction site and act as a human blasting device.

In comparison, studying magic is hard, poor, and has high competitive pressure.

Under such circumstances, the number of magicians willing to devote themselves to the field of magic research is decreasing year by year. It is also for this reason that the academy extended this invitation to Sophia.

After a long speech.

The dean made way for Sophia to stand in front of everyone. "Now, it's up to the person involved to say a few words and share his or her thoughts."

At this moment, Sophia on the stage became very embarrassed.

She has decided to decline the invitation.

She was planning to talk things over privately with her supervisor after receiving the award, but she didn't expect the dean to suddenly do this. He told the matter in public and even asked her to say a few words.

But come to think of it, the dean probably never thought that she would refuse.

Due to the combination of many factors, and considering that the other party was a student trained by their own college and had a good background, they made an exception and offered such conditions. In the past, this would have been something that was out of the question.

Sophie took a deep breath.

"I'm very grateful to the college for taking such a good position and giving me this opportunity. I'm really grateful."

"This kind of opportunity is truly rare for a young magician. After all, so many people are eyeing the professorship position, and the dean must be under tremendous pressure to make such a decision."

“Orr College is my alma mater, and I really want to stay here.”

Listen to Sophia's speech.

Dean Osborne's face was full of smiles and he was full of confidence.

at this time.

Sophia changed the subject: "But..."

but what?

Is there anything else but this?

The dean didn't react for a moment, frowned, and looked at Sophia in confusion.

"But there's one point in the dean's speech that I don't quite agree with."

Sophia ignored the Dean's gaze and spoke slowly, "I think it's a mistake to simply dismiss those magicians who choose to devote themselves to the research of magical machines as doing it for money."

"It's unrealistic to talk about studying magic without being aware of the reality."

"Using the magic wind machine as the power source, I invented wind-powered trains, textile machines, mills... and my latest research, the electric light, which uses the magic electric machine as the energy source."

"The series of changes brought about by the magic-powered machines are already truly changing our world."

"The world is changing, and amidst this change, I believe that immersing myself in the mundane real world might be a better option than staying in the ivory tower of a campus to conduct research..."

"Theoretical magic research has reached a bottleneck. We might as well change our thinking and build our real environment."

"I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but the recent trend of 'pan-magicism' in Central City is the ultimate manifestation of magic's development in the mundane real world. Everyone learns magic, and everyone enjoys the convenience it brings."

"Under such social conditions, magic can develop more broadly, rather than relying solely on support."

"Although it's still too early for 'Panmagicism' to be realized given current conditions, I believe it will be a trend in the future development of the world..."

“But I want to be part of that future.”

Accompanied by Sophia's speech.

Dean Osborne's face gradually stiffened, because Sophia's words almost meant "rejection".

He looked at Sophia uncertainly: "What do you mean?"

"Feel sorry."

Sophia said decisively, "I refuse this invitation."

Chapter 215 Debris of the Real World

Sophia's impromptu speech in the auditorium undoubtedly caused an uproar throughout the entire Orr College.

He solved the Hermann conjecture when he was a teenager and was invited to become a preparatory professor at the college.

What was even more shocking was that he publicly rejected the academy's invitation and stated that he wanted to devote himself to the field of magical power machines, which was generally looked down upon by magicians.

But all this controversy has nothing to do with Sophia.

Since she has decided to devote herself to the trivialities of the real world, these adults in the academic halls are destined to have nothing to do with her anymore, whether it is criticism, ridicule, or contempt.

"You really turned down the invitation to become a candidate professor?"

Bird smiled slightly: "This is a rare opportunity, don't you feel sorry?"

"What are you regretting? Are you abandoning me as the Director of the Nader Institute?" Sophia asked with a smile, "Or... do you want to try a long-distance relationship with me?"

"I didn't say that."

Bird quickly shook his head. "I just hope you won't regret it. After all, compared to peacefully conducting research at the magic academy, building the real world is much more troublesome. You'll definitely be in for a lot of headaches in the future."

"I won't regret it."

Sophia's sky-blue eyes were crystal clear, reflecting Bird's image. "In reality, there are not only troubles, but also people I like, my friends, and the career I've worked hard for. How can I regret it?"

"But I'll need you to take care of my finances in the future, Butler."

"Do not worry."

Looking at the wizard lady like this, Bird smiled and said, "As long as there is enough funding, you can build it as you like."

really.

She is still the same person.

And those rumors are all true. Deep down, Sophia is still the proud, talented blue-haired witch. Once she makes a decision, she will not be easily changed by the opinions of others, even if they are the professor of the magic academy that everyone desires.

"Just build it. Won't Miss Avril have any objections?" Sophia asked with a blink.

"She wouldn't know." Bird shrugged. "Forget the institute's expenses. She can't even figure out how much pocket money she has in a month..."

In order to stimulate the district mayor's enthusiasm for work.

Bird designed a pocket money performance system for Avril, which took into account the district mayor's attendance rate, appearance rate, working hours, work intensity, work type and other aspects. In theory, the maximum pocket money is 300% of the original.

Instead of stimulating work enthusiasm, it succeeded in making the district chief confused about how much pocket money he should have each month...

Back to the topic.

Although Sophia herself doesn't care, others do, especially those who know Sophia. They can't ignore it.

The first to be affected was naturally Sarah.

"Why did you give up?"

Sarah shook her head and sighed, looking very angry, as if she had thrown this opportunity away herself. "At worst, you can just agree to it first. Becoming a professor doesn't mean you can't research magical machines. Just think about using the academy's money to research something you're interested in..."

"Then I'll talk to the college and give you the position?" Sophia joked.

"Forehead......."

Sarah choked and waved her hands, "Forget it, forget it. I still know my own situation."

In fact, although in theory you can use the college's money to carry out projects that interest you, professors are also limited, and it is impossible to do whatever you want without restrictions.

Funding applications require a name. You applied for a project to research a magic-powered machine, and the school turned it down the next day. Even if you come up with a clever excuse to fish in muddy waters, when the results come up for review, you still won't be able to fool people by showing off a magic-powered machine.

Therefore, Sarah's suggestion of agreeing to it first and then studying magic machines after becoming a professor is completely unfeasible - unless you pay for it yourself.

But since you’re already paying for it yourself, why would you become a professor?

Are you kidding?

As for the other insiders, Baird, as Sophia's mentor, needed to take the initiative to give an explanation. After all, this opportunity was also applied for by Baird to help Sophia.

"Sorry, teacher."

Sophia said sincerely, "I have failed you and wasted the opportunity you fought for."

Baird had already known about Sophia's public refusal of the invitation, and now he felt helpless when he heard her apology.

"Oh, you kid."

He didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Even if you really want to refuse, you shouldn't do it in front of so many people..."

"I didn't want to do that either, but I didn't expect the dean to suddenly attack."

Sophia smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I can't just agree to it and then break it, right?"

"Besides, don't you think that continuing this abstract magical research has lost its meaning?" she said, changing her focus. "We're only pursuing theoretical research, wasting countless resources delving into the seven impossible magical problems, while ignoring the world we live in."

"I won't argue with you about this."

Baird clearly didn't want to delve too deeply into the topic.

"But you've already offended the dean so publicly, not to mention that you've also spoken against the current trend in the magic world," he said. "Your academic career will undoubtedly be extremely difficult, and you'll encounter significant resistance. Even if you truly achieve results worthy of admission to the Royal National Academy of Magic, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain admission."

"It doesn't matter. If you can't get in, then you can't get in."

Sophia said nonchalantly, "I'm younger than all of them. I just need to wait until these old men die."

Baird: “???”

"When they are all dead, you will be old, and there will be another group of people who will oppose you. How can you compare with them in age then?" He couldn't help but retort.

"No need to compare. When I'm old, the world will agree with my point of view."

Sophia said with confidence.

“Alas, alas…”

Baird didn't know what to say, and he held his forehead with his hands, feeling a little headache.

"Hahaha--"

Tracy, standing by, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Junior brother, your proud student has more personality than I thought."

This gave Baird even more headaches.

"It's too unique," he said in annoyance. "How can I develop in the field of magic like this?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it," Tracy said, patting his shoulder. "You're an adult now, why worry so much? We can prove the Hermann conjecture right now, so why should you worry about it?"

"Besides, she's not in the academy, so it's not like she can't produce results."

"Yes, Master's wife is right."

Seeing this, Sophia immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Even if I'm not in the academy, I can still achieve results in the field of magic."

"Well, you better really do that."

Baird snorted unhappily, then opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and threw it in front of Sophia.

"what is this?"

Sophia blinked curiously.
