Arcane Lord

In the year 834 of the Nese calendar, the study group organized by Xia Duo, the predecessor of the Institute of Jin, took shape. Later, with the rapid growth of Xia Duo, the Institute of Jin gradually grew in strength.

As of now, May 14, 838 in the Nese calendar, the Institute of Advancement has become the largest and most influential ideological group in the Tower of Time.

In addition to Xia Duo's factors, the thoughts and concepts of the Institute are also attractive enough. Knowing the positive, advanced, and beautiful future, it is difficult to return to the negative, backward, and ugly past.

Chateau listened to Dean's impassioned stage summary report. Under the gaze of a pair of shining eyes, at this moment, he could appreciate the most real development of the Institute in the past few years more than looking at those cold documents and volumes. .

"To sum up, under the leadership and instructions of President Chateau, the members of the Institute have achieved outstanding results in the past, and they will definitely create greater brilliance in the future, and the ideal country will surely come."

"The ideal country will surely come!"

…

Listening to the deafening shouts in the stadium, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Although he had often issued certain instructions to the Association in the past, many of the achievements Dean just mentioned were mostly due to the efforts of the members of the Association.

For example, although the research laboratory, which is composed entirely of members of the Institute, has just been established, it has achieved a lot in clarifying old spells and standardizing new spells, and has provided more new cases for apprentice teaching materials.

Another example is what Xia Duo just learned about two days ago - a new breakthrough in typesetting and printing made by Tilak Research Laboratory and the Ministry of Magical Technology, in which members of the Institute played a key role.

Another example is the mutual help among apprentices, the leading of advanced students, and even taking the initiative to take over classes due to the shortage of teachers in the Academic Affairs Office, all of which are indispensable for the members of the society.

However, although Xia Duo was a little ashamed, he was also very proud. Not only was he proud of the changes he had brought about, he was also proud of these lovely members of the Institute.

…

After reviewing the past, let's talk about the present. Sha Duo has a meeting procedure and a list of important topics that Dean sent to all members in advance.

"Currently, the Academy is developing at a high speed, but in a sense it can also be said to be at a bottleneck. In order to advance all aspects of work faster and better in the future, I propose to add Nia Savile to the Academy. Official member."

When Dean said this, especially when he mentioned Niya's name, his voice was trembling. Apart from being a little scared because the lord's image of authority was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he was more worried about the growth of the Society. pride.

Even the lords have joined in, so what reason do you have to fight?

"Show of hands!"

In addition to full members, all reserve members also have the right to vote on all issues that enter the association. Only half of the votes will be counted, but because of the large number of people, the total number of votes is not much different from that of full members.

Preparatory members cannot be converted into full members simply because they have not passed the Level 1 Professional Title Examination of the Tower of Time. The relevant rights are basically the same as those of full members.

As for the subsequent development targets and activists, they are not considered formal members. They only have the right to observe and make suggestions, but not to vote.

Regarding Niya joining the society, Sha Duo had first mentioned it, but at that time Niya looked down on joining the society. Now Niya has realized the importance of joining the society. At Sha Duo's suggestion, she resubmitted her application.

Of course, Niya's identity is there, and she doesn't need to upgrade step by step like ordinary members. She can join directly.

This does not violate the principle of entering the academy.

In fact, this is an all-member vote stipulated in the association's constitution, but ordinary people cannot allow formal members to initiate formal issues in collective meetings.

Even if it is initiated, there is a high probability that it will not pass.

As for Niya, her membership vote was unanimously approved by everyone, and no one even abstained.

…

After Niya joined the meeting, Sha Duo couldn't help but get distracted while looking at the list of topics in his hand. The scene of his meeting with Gibson a few days ago was still vivid in his mind. He didn't expect that he would make such a choice today.

Although Dean reported all the topics, the initiator of the topic had already been marked on the topic directory, which was visible to everyone, not just Xia Duo.

Therefore, when Dean was about to report the next topic, there was a sudden silence in the venue. There were originally some hums of small exchanges, but now it became extremely quiet. It seemed that even breathing and heartbeat could be heard clearly. .

"Currently, more and more new apprentices in the Tower of Time have obtained level 1 formal titles, and as time goes by, we predict that the Tower of Time will become a more professional academy or research institution, and a large number of formal mages will have to be diverted to the territory. , then the comprehensive popularization of magic will officially begin.”

After the lord entered the meeting, Dean's state became much more stable. Even if the venue was completely silent at the moment, he could calmly read out the content of the issue:

"As an advanced organization that represents the vast majority of ordinary people, the Jin Society will also play an important role in this change. Here, I propose to send personnel to various territories in advance to guide all people in the territories to accept new ideas and prepare for the next Lay a good foundation for change.”

After Dean finished speaking, he glanced around the venue. Under normal circumstances, some people would have started talking about it. After all, the internal atmosphere of the Association was quite relaxed as it was able to write seeking common ground while reserving differences in its charter.

However, this issue involves the private interests of two important members. Especially regardless of their membership in the society, everyone present can be said to be the vassal of those two important members.

Now he wants to use the cover of joining the academy to usurp the power of the Lord. If Xia Duo hadn't said hello in advance, even if Dean and Xia Duo knew each other at a young age, he would be embarrassed when he saw such an issue. An, it’s even more impossible to read it out in public.

Only now——

"If you have no opinion, let's start voting by show of hands. If you agree, please raise your hands!"

brush--

Including Gibson, the initiator of the issue, more than 30 people raised their hands, including 19 formal members and 14 reserve members.

"Please put it down."

Dean remained expressionless and continued: "If you object, please raise your hands!"

brush--

This time, more than thirty people were raised, but this time there were only five official members who objected, and the remaining twenty or so were all reserve members.

"Please let it go.

"Those who abstain, please raise your hands."

There are a lot of people raising their hands. Except for those who are in favor and those who are against, the rest are all here.

"There were 26 votes in favor, 19 votes against, and 46 abstentions. The issue was not passed!"

call--

I don’t know who started it first, but the sound of relief soon filled the venue.
