Chapter 315: The Rejected Nomination for the Morning Star Medal and the Invisible Light!

After a thorough review by several judges, the resolution to apply for a Morning Star Medal as an accolade swiftly passed through the council.

The wizards in the hall gazed enviously at Glenn; typically, once the grand wizards approved, the council application was merely a formality.

However, at this moment, Glenn stood up, interrupting. "Wait, esteemed masters."

"Do you have any new and fascinating magical theories to expound upon?" Lynn asked curiously.

"No, not really," Glenn shook his head, then hesitated before speaking, "Thank you for your recognition, Grand Master Lynn, but I assume you already knew about this spectrometer and theory of primary colors, didn't you?"

Lynn hesitated for a moment, not wanting to dent Glenn's confidence too much, yet realizing that they had indeed revealed too much earlier. After contemplating for a while, Lynn explained, "Just over a month ago, during my time in the kingdom, I conducted similar experiments, hence my understanding."

Elok and the others in the audience nodded in agreement. They had witnessed Dean Lynn performing the exact spectral experiment with a small prism.

"I see..." Glenn's expression fell somewhat.

Though Lynn humbly put it, they both knew these two theories had been previously validated by each other. As the developer of the glass itself, it wasn't surprising for Lynn to have this knowledge.

"In that case, I cannot accept this Morning Star Medal. It rightfully belongs to you..." Glenn hesitated, somewhat reluctant yet firm.

He was aware that as the recipient of the Sun Crown Medal, the most brilliant magical star in the land of wizards, Lynn might not care about a Morning Star Medal's ownership. But Glenn didn't wish to receive something given out of pity. For his established school of magic, it would be a disgrace rather than an honor...

Upon hearing this, the wizards present were all stunned. Glenn's friends exchanged glances, attempting to persuade him to retract his words.

You see, this was the Morning Star Medal!

At the annual academic symposium, usually, only three to five individuals could earn this distinction. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that possessing this medal would make one the center of attention wherever they went.

Even for those geniuses in academic research, they might only have one chance in their lifetime for a nomination; missing out might mean never having another!

On the judging panel, Raphael and the others showed expressions of admiration. While they believed the Morning Star Medal should belong to Grand Master Lynn, witnessing Glenn's resolute refusal both surprised and pleased them.

Similar incidents had occurred in the past. Five years ago, during the society's symposium, three factions coincidentally researched the same element, all achieving impressive results. The only problem was that many theories overlapped significantly.

Certainly, they couldn't award a Morning Star Medal to everyone just for vying for this nomination. The three factions ended up causing a major uproar during the symposium, tarnishing their reputations.

Glenn's choice, in comparison, was undoubtedly wiser. If he had accepted the medal by disregarding his conscience, it would have surely invited criticism.

Now, after the refusal, it opened up a broader perspective. Raphael could envision Glenn's name spreading throughout the land of wizards due to this symposium.

After all, this was the first time someone rejected a nomination for the Morning Star Medal!

Sitting among the judges, Lynn couldn't help but feel amused and puzzled. They hadn't expected that by pointing out Glenn's theory's oversight, the latter would voluntarily withdraw from the nomination.

Clearly, in their first stint as a judge, Lynn hadn't handled it well...

Lynn introspected silently; while they indeed knew these theories, they stood on the shoulders of giants. Compared to them, individuals like Glenn were the true pioneers of magical studies! If their confidence were shattered, it wouldn't bode well.

Due to concern about damaging Glenn's self-esteem, Lynn refrained from insisting on awarding Glenn but instead pondered and said, "Optics is an incredibly novel field. Even the Prophecy Guild hasn't fully grasped its nature. So, all of us are on the same path. Since you've researched this spectrometer and primary colors, why not continue in this direction?"

"Besides the visible colors, there are many other invisible lights, diverse and intriguing, worthy of exploration..." Lynn expounded, guiding Glenn towards further research.

There were numerous invisible lights like infrared and ultraviolet. Unraveling one of these could justify a Morning Star Medal.

If Glenn could unravel the essence of light through this, it wouldn't just be a mere Morning Star Medal; even the highest academic accolade in the land of wizards, the Sun Crown Medal, wouldn't suffice to honor his achievements!

Glenn listened earnestly to Lynn's explanation. He didn't wish to accept bestowed honor but rejecting guidance from Lynn wasn't his intention. More importantly, he wanted to understand which domains hadn't been explored to avoid futile research.

"Grand Master Lynn, since we can't see these lights and can't sense them through mental power, how do we study them?" A alchemist in the front row suddenly inquired.

Lynn calmly reminded, "By observing the effects of these lights on objects, analyzing, categorizing, and summarizing them. Try to create alchemical instruments that allow us to see and perceive these lights based on their characteristics..."

"Perhaps magical transfiguration is also a good option!" Sanchez suggested.

As a master of shaping magic, Sanchez had observed that different creatures perceived colors differently. For instance, the giant monsters he frequently transformed into were naturally color-blind, seeing many things in shades of gray.

Previously, he assumed it was these creatures' brains unable to discern colors. Now he realized it was the lack of so-called photoreceptor cells.

"That's a valid point; it's a good direction!" Lynn agreed, as some creatures' retinas possessed four types of cone cells, capable of perceiving more light frequencies than humans...

The strength of wizards lay in their myriad magical abilities, enabling them to directly observe through the eyes of these creatures. This advantage was significant compared to using various scientific instruments for measurement! freёweɓnovel.com

They hadn't thought in this direction before. When Lynn recently read a book on shaping magic, it mentioned that snakes naturally possessed a perception-based magic, allowing them to sense heat with their tongues, essentially infrared rays...
