I Got 999 Level With One Cut

The mages stopped eating. They seriously turned their chairs and watched Riko draw spell models on the wall one after another. They watched her write countless formulas that they had never seen before, and then slowly analyze the complicated proof. Hendrick called a few top Great Devil Instructor including Elsa. He quickly copied the data and prepared to organize them into a thesis.    

When Riko wrote the last character on the wall and put the seven pieces of paper back in the middle of the table, the people inside only stayed silent for five seconds. Then, there was a wave of applause.    

The mages who were still debating whether she was qualified to join the Splendor of Two Moons no longer mentioned this matter. They called her Great Mage Heiss Gawa, just like they had known each other for many years.    

Including the Devil Instructor.    

When he squeezed out a smile on his face, he looked like a villain who was plotting something.    

The master of Big Dipper Tower, Brien, planned to keep the traces on the walls of the hall forever. Then, when a guest came, he could point at the formula and characters on the entire wall and say, great Mage Heather Garwa proved here that the Petrov Equation Set that affected mages for thousands of years was wrong.    

Hendrick walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Riko with a smile on his face. He gave a deep bow.    

Riko was shocked and subconsciously wanted to dodge. However, Hendrick smiled kindly. He looked like an experienced elder.    

"Great Mage Heiss Java, I thank you on behalf of all the mages in the world. Regardless of whether you realize it or not, everything you've done today... It will reduce the detours of countless people in the world of magic."    

"I don't think so."    

"When we release the results of your work, whether it is your name or the name of the Splendor of Two Moons, it will quickly spread across the continent and be remembered by the world for a thousand years..."    

"Then..." Riko hesitated for a moment and made a request that Hendrick could not figure out.    

"Can you not announce my name?"    

"Huh? Of course..."    

Even Hendrick, who was a Level 4 Titled Devil Instructor, could not understand why Riko would do this.    

Being famous in history was everyone's dream. Even if he was already a Titled Devil Instructor now, no one could guarantee that his name would still be mentioned in a thousand years or ten thousand years.    

And now, Riko, who looked like she was only a Level 9 Great Mage, rejected such an opportunity.    

"Can I ask, what is the reason?"    

Riko returned to her seat and did not speak.    

"Alright then." Hendrick sighed. "The name of the certificate will be changed to Ainderhofen according to the name of the place. As for the person who suggested it, write down a young mage in the Splendor of Two Moons who is unwilling to reveal his name..."    

In short, the commotion caused by Riko had finally come to an end. The group of mages returned to their seats. They were still discussing the magic knowledge just now while absent-mindedly chewing the snail that the chef had roasted again. After that, the gathering returned to the rhythm of the previous years.    

The waiter continuously served the dishes. There were actually more than ten different types of strange things and desserts. To Riko, the taste of these dishes was indeed not bad. But for other mages who often ate similar dishes, they were not that attractive.    

Even after eating, everyone still thought of that proof. Some of the research that was originally very valuable received a cold treatment. For example, Elsa's research should have been the main result of this gathering, which was to improve the flying skill Spell.    

When Elsa showed the results, most of the people still looked uninterested.    

Fortunately, Elsa herself did not pay too much attention to it.    

The gathering continued until late at night.    

Some mages who had their own airships left immediately. The rest of the mages were arranged by the tower master, Brien, to stay in the guest room in Big Dipper Tower.    

Looking out from the window, the night sky of Ainderhofen City was lit with a little flame, which made it seem very quiet. It was completely different from the bustling during the day.    

"Rikku..."    

In the room, Loli Merlin called out to Riko.    

"What?"    

"How do you feel?"    

The grey-haired girl rolled on the soft bed.    

"The dishes tonight are very delicious."    

"What else?"    

Riko buried her face under the blanket and only revealed a pair of eyes. She shook her head.    

"I don't like this occasion."    

"Why?"    

"Because I always feel a strange sense of distance."    

... ""    

Loli Merlin looked out the window and was deep in thought and did not say anything, so Riko simply continued to speak on her own.    

"Everyone only needs to call me Rikku, but they all call me Great Mage Heiss Gawa. They do not need to be so respectful to me. If they call me by my name directly, I would be happier. "    

" Yes. However, this is, after all, the usual etiquette between mages, and also something that can't be helped. The reason why you're unwilling to publicize your name is also because of this reason. "    

" Yes. "    

Riko bit the blanket and vaguely nodded.    

"I don't want to be called that by everyone. It's good to be like this now."    

"You really don't think you're a powerful mage However, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to come, you can choose not to participate at all. "    

Loli Merlin lightly patted Riko's head.    

The next morning, they took the airship back on their way home.
