Chapter 1179
Someone slammed a trembling fist onto a table. “How dare he do something like that?!”
If anyone analyzed the situation objectively, the professor from Heins Academy hadn’t done anything deserving of criticism.
Academic conferences had always been battlegrounds for professors and their egos, and debates over published theses were supposed to help refine ideas. That was the whole point.
However, no one had expected that man to go in for the kill like that.
Of course, long before that, the ‘victim’ himself had done similar things to professors from lesser-known academies. He seemed to have completely forgotten that.
“Heins Academy... They really are monsters.”
“I couldn’t counter any of their arguments... It was my failure.”
“No, this isn’t just your fault, Professor Toffsmann. All of us are to blame. I mean, what kind of mage thinks up something so deranged? Normally, the issues raised in that thesis would’ve taken years of experiments to even be identified. Then, once they were identified, we'd quietly work on solutions.”
However, those people had spotted every problem at a glance, while they themselves hadn’t even come up with a solution yet.
“What frustrates me most... is that I found myself agreeing with their criticism.” Professor Toffsmann groaned in despair.
“Bupherman, was it? As far as I know, he’s just a low-ranking 4th Circle mage from a small academy that shut down. Haaah.”
“No one expected Saint Davey of Heins to be such a good judge of people.”
