Chapter 70: Conference [2]

"It's best if you remain here until the third day, Roselyn," Vanitas said. "But if you wish to explore Estelle, I advise you to wear a disguise."

"Yes, Professor. Understood. But I think I'll stay and practice my lines for my presentation. I'm quite nervous. It's my first time presenting in front of so many people, especially professionals."

"Would you like to practice?" Vanitas said. "I can be your audience if it helps."

"Me too," Karina chimed in.

"Really? That would help a lot. Thank you."

"Take your time. Start whenever you're ready."

Vanitas sat on the empty chair in Roselyn's hotel room, while Karina made herself comfortable on the bed.

Without access to a magic projector, Roselyn opted to use the thick document she had prepared.

"Here goes nothing…."

Roselyn began with the first layer of the Mana Crystallization Formula. 

This part was straightforward, considering scholars had already perfected it up to the third layer. But the fourth and fifth layers were where most scholars hit a roadblock.

At first, Roselyn's nerves were evident. 

——Uh…. Uhm….

She stammered occasionally, fumbled her phrasing, and repeated herself in ways that highlighted her lack of confidence. 

Some explanations went in circles. While others seemed to be over-explained points she'd already covered.

But as time went on, she began to find her rhythm. 

——To put it simply….

Her delivery grew smoother, and her voice seemed to gradually flow seamlessly. 

By the time she reached the sixth layer, Roselyn seemed completely in her element.

——Therefore, the volatility of the Carson effect….

Vanitas listened closely, though he had to admit he'd lost track around the third layer. 

Glancing at Karina, he noticed she wore a similar expression of confusion, nodding along with him. 

He could solemnly swear he saw steam rising from her ears.

Still, they both focused on Roselyn, not on the content but on her flow and delivery. It was clear she had put in a lot of effort.

When she finished, Roselyn looked at them expectantly. 

"How was it?"

Vanitas nodded. "Good. It seems like you've come a long way. But remember to pause at key points and avoid rushing. It'll give the audience time to process."

"Yes," Karina nodded in agreement. "And if possible, I think you should simplify some of the terms for non–specialists."

It was a solid suggestion. Most people, especially those in the business field, weren't interested in the process itself, but leaned more on the results.

Roselyn smiled, feeling relief washing over her.
