Lucien's voice wasn't loud, but his words were beyond shocking to the board members present.
As the authorities in math who had won the Arcana Scepter Award, they had to admit that they were more or less proud. However, in fact, they only regarded math only as a tool for studying arcana and analyzing magic spells. Very few arcanists were willing to devote their entire life to the beauty of math, most of them would never explore further in math past what is sufficient for their purposes.
The Tower's arcanists who were fond of math more or less shared the same belief before, but it was either an occasional remark of pride or just a flash in the pan. No one had ever, like what Lucien just did, managed to prove by using such shocking reasoning and imposing manner the great value of math: Math went beyond human beings' intuitive understanding and experience. Thus, math's importance and significance had been raised to a degree no one had ever dreamed of before.
