One day, while Isaac and the members of the School of Magical Surveying were away on winter vacation. The Magic Tower, which should have been empty during the break, was bustling with people.
"Agh... what is all this!"
"I know, right? They should announce something like this during the semester!"
Researchers who had given up their winter break headed to their labs with hollow eyes. There was only one reason. It was because of the thesis on the method of least squares, jointly published by Valerius, Isaac, and Anna right before the break.
It was a common occurrence for Isaac’s theses to turn the Magic Tower upside down. However, this one was a little different from his previous papers. This thesis did not present research for the future, but a research methodology that could be used right now. ...
Because of that, each school had called in all their available mages.
"You want us to change the interpretation of our ongoing experiments now?"
"For now, let's just do as Sir Isaac's paper says. It's an order from the school head."
At this, a doctoral student grumbled.
"At my rank, do I really have to give up my vacation...?"
"I'm here, and I'm a chief professor. Is there any reason for you to be an exception?"
"Gasp! P-Professor!"
