Chapter 312: Lynn's Radical View, Does Color Actually Not Exist?
Accompanied by Sanchez's words, the eyes of thousands in the auditorium immediately turned towards the direction of the Iyeta School.
Lynn's brows inadvertently furrowed, as Rafael had not mentioned this to him before. However, before he had time to figure it out, a round of eager applause suddenly erupted in the hall.
Under everyone's gaze, Lynn had no choice but to stand and walk to the platform, where he took a seat at the judges' bench. Then, he turned his head to Rafael beside him and asked slightly displeased,
"I don't suppose I have offended you in any way, have I, Master?"
Although serving as a judge at the seminar was not a bad thing, this abrupt move gave Lynn some unpleasant conjectures.
In just one short hour since arriving at Greenriel, the honors and treatment the Iyeta School had received were already too much, and Lynn was very clear about the principle that the higher you stand, the harder you fall…
"Of course not, why would you think that?" Rafael asked with a laugh.
"This matter should have at least been mentioned to me before making a decision," Lynn spoke, slightly discontented.
"Indeed, it was my oversight…" Rafael patted his forehead, apologetically began to explain.
"Many of the proposals received by this magic seminar are about new glass devices, and I thought you would understand them better than us. So, after some discussion, we unanimously decided to add an extra judge's seat at the last minute…"
They hadn't arranged this before because they were not aware of the information that Lynn had been promoted to Grand Wizard.

A third-order wizard naturally does not qualify to casually judge the research results of a school, but now that Lynn had completed his breakthrough, there certainly was no such concern...
It was also to reflect their high regard for Lynn and the Secret Magic Society that they readjusted the seats of the school.
At this point, Rafael was somewhat bemused; generally, wizards of Lynn's age would relish the chance to attract more attention. Who would be as suspicious as him?
With Rafael's explanation, Lynn then realized that he had misunderstood and that it wasn't a deliberate targeting against him...
At this moment, on the platform, Sanchez had finished the lengthy opening remarks and announced that this year's academic conference was officially starting, before stepping down from the platform, leaving the space open.
Several eager young male and female wizards stepped forward, gave a bow to Lynn and others, and then brought out a strange cube made entirely of glass, displaying it before everyone, and loudly declared,
"This is the light dissociation device we have developed!"
"Isn't that just a prism?" Ailoke muttered under his breath, and the wizards from the Iyeta School beside him nodded in agreement. Back in the Kingdom of Hadrata, President Lynn had already demonstrated it to them, they just hadn't made it public yet.
Indeed, they were also conducting research on light, but due to the shortness of time, they had not produced any key results yet.
As expected, the experiment demonstrated by the several male and female wizards on the stage was the splitting of light by a prism, but their research was evidently not limited to this, and there were things they had not yet understood...
"We have also discovered that red, green, and blue are particularly crucial among these seven colors, and it can even be said that all other colors are derived from these three," the leading wizard named Glenn proudly proclaimed.
"I call it the primal colors, and you could say they are the true colors of light. Everything in the world is actually made up of red, green, and blue. It's just that each primal color varies in intensity, which gives rise to the yellow, purple, cyan, and other colors we see. When the three colors are of equal intensity and blend together, white light is produced!"
As he adjusted the angle of the light-separating device, the colors it displayed changed accordingly.
Rafael and others watched intently, very interested in the so-called primal colors—it was a significant discovery!
Although light was everywhere, legend had it that even Wizard couldn't perceive the so-called 'light element,' only being able to manipulate it based on its properties to develop magic, achieving another level of utility.
But now, their discovery undoubtedly gave them a preliminary understanding of light: a beam of white light was actually composed of three different colors of light—red, green, and blue...
The chatter inside the auditorium grew louder, with everyone discussing the amazing discovery.
On the stage, the male and female Wizards held up their light-separating devices, excited by the scrutiny of the crowd, thinking that their research could at least earn them a Morning Star Medal!
Glenn was even thinking whether to rename his school of thought; he had already come up with a name—'Dawnlight and Primal Colors'...
"I think this research is very valuable!" Sanchez was the first to speak, expressing his admiration.
Rafael and the others strongly agreed, and they all praised Glenn's research achievements.
Glenn's face was full of proud expression, and immediately turned his head to look at Lynn, who had been silent all along.
With a mix of envy, admiration, and jealousy toward this famed star of magic, Glenn acknowledged that their research was aided by the glass invented by the other party.
However, young and ambitious Glenn believed that one day he too could develop magical theories that would change the entire magic system and become a star of magic in the spotlight.
As Glenn was indulging in his fantasies, Lynn suddenly spoke up.
"Your research is quite good, but I need to correct something! The three primal colors you mentioned cannot represent the origin or properties of light..."
"And to be precise, objects actually do not have colors!" Lynn said shockingly, instantly stirring up doubts in the auditorium.
"Master Lynn, what do you mean by that? Are you saying colors do not exist? Then what are we seeing right now?" Sanchez asked, confused.
Glenn and the others were also extremely dissatisfied in their hearts—light decomposition and primal colors were the results of their hard work and careful experimentation, proven by rigorous experiments, yet Lynn denied it all with just one statement.
If colors did not exist, wouldn't that mean their research was meaningless...
"Lord Lynn, as a scholarly judge, giving one's own suggestions and pointing out mistakes is part of the job. However, it's better not to speak rashly about things one does not understand..." From the judges' bench, a great Wizard wearing purple robes spoke out rebukingly.
Previously, when Rafael proposed Lynn as a judge, he was the sole voice of opposition—after all, a twenty-something-year-old Wizard might be accomplished in one or two fields, but he would ultimately lack breadth of knowledge, which was the most important thing for a scholarly judge!
