Scamander returned the experimental report to the boy and said:"Okay, now that my personal request has been fulfilled, let's start the business."

"Next, I want to give you this certificate as well."

As he spoke, he handed Levin a certificate with a gold edge.

It read in gilt letters: Discovery Award of the Year.

Levin was stunned, and then took the certificate.

This was still him The first academic award he won.

In his previous life, he studied engineering and did not pursue further studies in the direction of scientific research, so this experience is almost unfamiliar.

"They originally wanted to give you the Rookie of the Year award, but I stopped it. Scamander said with a smile,

"I personally feel that your paper, whether it is the discovery itself or your groundbreaking experimental methods, is of great significance to the study of magical zoology, and no one will surpass you in the next few decades. Therefore, it is really unfair to compare you with other newcomers."

"For this reason, I have taken it upon myself to apply for the Discovery of the Year Award for you, which is also the highest award of the year in the"Annual of Magical Beasts"."

After listening to Scamander's slow introduction, the little wizards on the side were all shocked.

We are all of the same age, why are you the only one who is so good?

When everyone is studying the content in the textbook, you can already innovate. Engage in research!

Not only do you innovate and conduct research, but you also directly publish your research results in the top journals of the discipline!

Your research results are not only ranked in the top journals, but they are also excellent enough to compete for awards!

Your research results Even if you can compete for awards, you can skip all the newcomers and compete with the veteran scholars!

Not only did you compete with the veteran scholars on the same stage, but you also won in a crushing manner!

What a legendary experience is this!

Read all Not many people would still criticize Levin for his achievements.

The gap was too huge, and all the envy and jealousy had turned into nothingness, and even the bitterness could not be felt.

But what about the thoughts of Levin himself, who is now the focus of them all?

Take it over After receiving the certificate, his first thought was not excitement.

Based on his current research on arcane magic, any piece of it would be a shocking achievement that could overturn the theoretical foundation of the entire magic world.

If he had a few more, it would not be a prize. There is no question of no award.

The entire magical world is not qualified to award him an award. Any award should be named after him.

In comparison, a mere"Annual Discovery Award" is nothing.

Rather than being happy, Levine The real thought is...are you kidding me? Isn't this certificate too frivolous?

He doesn't ask the other party to issue an award as formal as the Order of Merlin, but at least it has to have a sense of ceremony?

So It's just like handing out pennants to people, and it's mainly about randomness.

But if you think about it carefully, it's also very reasonable.

《"Annals of Magical Beasts" is regarded as the top academic journal of magical zoology.

This publication is equivalent to"Nature" in real life.》、《Science" and so on, and the above two publications are not very formal when awarding some annual awards.

Of course, the"Yearbook of Magical Beasts" is not as influential as the above two, because in the magical world, the importance of magical beasts itself is not as important as the most basic charms and transfiguration.

But the Magical Beasts Annual is still the top journal.

However, compared to the Muggle world, the scientific research of wizards...or the top journal of magic research has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, the population of wizards is much lower than that of Muggles, which directly results in the population of magic researchers among wizards being much lower than that of Muggles. For scientific researchers, a top journal in a circle of dozens or hundreds of people is normal compared to a top journal in a circle of tens or millions of people.

《"Magical Yearbook of Fantastic Beasts" is not the"Daily Prophet". If you don't have the spare money to do some fancy stuff, the bonus is only a symbolic 200 Galleons.

"This award is recognized by the entire magical world." Professor Flitwick quietly explained to Levin.

Oh, it dawned on Levin.

That was clear.

Like"Transfiguration Today"》、《The reason why scholars flock to academic journals such as"Annals of Magical Beasts" is largely because their authority has been recognized by the wizarding world.

You have published a paper in"Transfiguration Today", whether it is the Ministry of Magic in the Underworld or the Ilvermorny School in the United States, even if the person in charge here does not know you, just take out the journal and show it to him, and he will know Recognizing your identity as a transfiguration scholar will make communication and employment easier.

Not to mention wizards like Levine who won the Annual Discovery Award of the Magical Beasts Annual Magazine.

No matter where they go, they will be treated as guests by the local Ministry of Magic and the Academy.

And this is how influence is built little by little.

Levine has even begun to consider whether he should produce some research results, submit more articles to various academic journals, and accumulate influence before breaking through the legend and having the ability to protect himself?

"Now, let's take a picture." Scamander took out a camera and handed it to Professor Flitwick."The next issue of the Magical Beasts Yearbook will publish your paper and the award you won.."

At this moment, a familiar greasy voice came from the distance:

"What's going on? Why are there so many people here?"

I saw Gilderoy Lockhart squeezing through the crowd and striding towards them. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Out of professional sensitivity, he always infiltrates wherever there are crowds of people. , to stand out is to take advantage of the heat.

Then he saw Flitwick, who was about to take a photo of Levin, and Scamander, who was in a formal suit.

Lockhart obviously misunderstood. After seeing the camera, his eyes He got excited and said,"Which newspaper are you from? Who are you interviewing? Why didn't I know there was an interview today?""

As he spoke, he walked into the classroom and went straight to Levin, who was obviously the center of attention. He grabbed his shoulders familiarly and said loudly and cheerfully:"We meet again, Levin, after being interviewed by reporters. How was the interview?"

"Seeing my photos in the newspaper makes you feel jealous, right?"He said self-righteously,"So you can't wait to make big news?"

"Come on, Mr. Reporter," Lockhart greeted Scamander with a smile."You are lucky that I happen to be here. If it can make headlines, I can't consider letting you. Take a couple photo!"

"Sorry, who are you?"Scamander was baffled.

This old man usually lives in seclusion. If Levine's paper hadn't been so excellent, he wouldn't have come out of Dorset at all.

"Sorry, you don't know me? I am Gilderoy Lockhart, an Order of Merlin 3rd Class, an honorary member of the Defense League against the Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award."

Scamander still shook his head. He has seen a lot of people with third-level medals. Who are you?

Seeing that the other person was not interested, Lockhart turned to Levin next to him, saw the certificate in his hand, and read :"'About the anatomical analysis of chimeras……"

"Chimaera... I am very familiar with this magical creature. In fact, in my countless experiences of eradicating dark creatures, there was a time when I killed a chimaera, but I haven't had time to write it into a book."Lockhart couldn't think twice before he couldn't wait to brag.

"So you're the second wizard in history to kill a chimera?"Hearing this, Scamander immediately stopped feeling sleepy and looked at him with interest.

"Wizards...History……"

Although Lockhart didn't know exactly what a Chimera was, he knew as soon as he heard this that it was no ordinary guy.

When he brags about himself, he only dares to target common ones like female ghosts, ghouls, and snowmen.

In this way, his bragging will not be so exaggerated and easily exposed.

Who would have thought that killing one of these things would go down in history?

He thought that he couldn't afford to brag about such a level of talent.

Don't brag that you can't afford to brag about, this is one of the principles he has learned from years of deception, [] and it is also the fundamental reason why he has not been exposed for so long.

He immediately gave up, pretending not to hear what the other party said, and then asked Levin:

"Which newspaper are they?"

"《Magical Beasts Annual Magazine》"

"《Fantastic Beasts Almanac? I haven't heard of the name, it seems to be a small newspaper."

So he straightened his back again.

Fortunately, it's not a big newspaper, and showing a little timidity will not hurt his reputation.

If the other party reports something, he can also use the excuse that"tabloids are chasing rumors for fame."

But. After hearing these words, the little wizards burst into an uproar.

Forget about the ordinary wizards who are ignorant and unskilled, a wizard of Lockhart's level, and you deal with dark creatures every day, you can't even read the"Fantastic Beasts Annual""Don't even know?

Levin almost asked:"Then do you know CNKI?"

Seeing other reactions, Lockhart also felt that he might have made a serious and stupid mistake.

He didn't care what made the headlines, found an excuse, and ran away.

"Where did Professor Dumbledore find such a funny guy?……"Scamander complained in a voice that could be heard by the young wizards,"He should be in the circus, not Hogwarts."

Lockhart's reputation improved slightly for a few days, but it was once again in decline..
