The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Dean Sly sat behind a large oak table, looking intently at the document in his hand, which was a proposal for the future development of the college. At this time, Gerling was sitting opposite him, looking a little nervous, but his eyes were shining with anticipation.

"Gerlin," Dean Sly raised his head and broke the silence with a smile, "I really appreciate your performance during this period. Your research results not only promote the progress of the college, but also bring new perspectives to the academic community."

Gerling was slightly startled, then he smiled shyly: "Thank you, Dean. I feel very honored to receive your affirmation. However, I just did what I should do."

Dean Sly waved his hand, a hint of seriousness in his eyes, "No, Gerling, many people can do academic research, but not many can persist and achieve success under difficult circumstances. You have extraordinary talent and perseverance, which is one of the reasons why I invited you to attend the upcoming dean's meeting."

"Dean's meeting?" Gerling's heartbeat quickened. Although he had heard of it before, he had never thought that he would be invited to participate. This was a grand meeting that brought together academic elites from all walks of life, involving a series of major decisions about the future of the college. "What will be discussed at the meeting?"

Dean Sly raised his chin slightly, his eyes began to wander, as if recalling something: "We will discuss the direction of the college's development, new research areas, and possibly even adjust the curriculum. You know, the college is facing many challenges from the external environment, and we need every innovative idea and practical action."

Gerling tried to calm himself down. He took a deep breath and asked seriously, "So how should I prepare?"

"First, sort out your ideas in various research fields, especially those related to your major. At the same time, I hope you can think about how to better promote the research results of our college and increase our influence." Dean Sly's tone was firm and expectant, as if he had already seen through Gerling's potential.

"I understand, Dean. I will prepare my ideas as soon as possible." Gerling nodded and said confidently.

At this moment, the office door opened slightly, and Mary, a young and energetic assistant, walked in. She was wearing a neat business suit, and her neat short hair shone in the sun. "I'm sorry to bother you, Dean, but the meeting time has been set. We need to prepare as soon as possible."

Dean Sly smiled and nodded to Mary. "Okay, Mary. Please prepare the relevant materials for the meeting, especially the backgrounds of the participants and the agenda. We need a clear plan."

Mary took notes carefully, then looked at Gerling with bright eyes: "Gerling, I heard that you will also attend the meeting? That's great! You will definitely bring new ideas to everyone."

"Thank you, Mary. I hope I can make a difference," Gelling replied shyly.

“I’m sure you will,” Mary responded optimistically. “You’ve been doing really well in your recent studies, and everyone is paying attention to you.”

"Then let's work hard together!" Gerlin relaxed a lot for a moment, and a warm power surged in his heart.

As time went by, the Dean's Meeting arrived as scheduled. The meeting room was filled with professors and researchers from different disciplines, each of whom was a leader in the college. At the agenda, Dean Sly opened the meeting with a speech: "Dear colleagues, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in today's meeting. This is an era full of challenges and opportunities. As a member of the academic community, we shoulder the important mission of promoting knowledge dissemination and technological innovation."

A sense of urgency permeated the environment. Sitting in a corner of the meeting, Gelling felt nervous and excited. He listened attentively to everyone's speeches and slowly fixed his eyes on the figure of the dean. When the dean talked about the development plan of the college, his voice gradually rose: "Our goal is to enhance the international reputation of the college and expand the scope of application of scientific research results. In order to achieve this goal, I hope everyone can actively put forward ideas and suggestions."

Later, the atmosphere of the meeting gradually became lively, with different voices intersecting and endless discussions involving funding, curriculum setting, and research directions. Gerling could feel the passion in the eyes of each professor when they spoke, which made him feel an impulse in his heart. He encouraged himself secretly and finally found his chance to speak.

"If I may, I would like to share some ideas about interdisciplinary research," Gerling cleared his throat and raised his hand, his voice a little weak in the conference room, but still quite convincing. "I think we can try to integrate expertise from different fields, especially at the intersection of artificial intelligence and natural sciences, to develop more comprehensive research projects."

As he slowly unfolded his speech, the attention of the people around him began to focus on him. "For example, with the help of artificial intelligence models, we can have a deeper exploration of natural phenomena, and even help us better understand complex ecosystems or optimize scientific research processes."

Listening to Gerling's speech, Dean Sly smiled slightly, with a gleam of approval in his eyes. Other professors also nodded and expressed their opinions, believing that Gerling's suggestions were very valuable and that they could take this opportunity to introduce some new cooperation.

“I have always believed that traditional disciplinary boundaries have become blurred, and future breakthroughs often occur in interdisciplinary fields,” another professor added. “We should seek a wider range of partners.”

The meeting lasted nearly three hours. At the end, Dean Sly stood up again and expressed his gratitude for everyone's active participation. He also proposed to sort out the excellent suggestions put forward by everyone and form a preliminary strategic plan.

"Today's meeting is a good start. I look forward to everyone's positive feedback and follow-up discussions." The dean's voice was full of confidence and expectation. At this time, Gerling felt unexpectedly excited. He realized that he was becoming more and more valued in this discussion. This enthusiasm for recognition made him full of expectations for the future.
