Chapter 73: Is there anyone asking you out this afternoon? (Fourth update, 14,000 words)
Realizing that this was an opportunity that could not be missed, Aiwass made no secret of his ecstasy and repeatedly emphasized his love and interest in archaeology.
When Professor Budd was still hesitant, Aiwass even showed his greatest advantage -
"This is……"
Professor Bud opened his eyes wide, and Haina beside him was also stunned.
Only Lily was not quite sure what this scene meant.
Aiwass placed his right hand on Professor Bud's forehead, and a warm and steady light shone, not even glaring when viewed directly. The professor could clearly feel his thoughts becoming clearer, and his fatigue gradually dissipated.
"Hey, what are you—"
The old professor quickly put down Aiwas's right hand, shrank his neck and looked at the empty classroom.
Fortunately, no one saw this happen - they all ran to the door to talk to John Eden.
He lowered his voice and whispered, "How come you have mastered extraordinary abilities when you haven't even taken the exam yet?
"And... the illumination technique of the right hand? How long have you mastered it?"
"No, I remember..."
Haina couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Aiwass hadn't come into contact with the Tao a few days ago, right?"
Although Aiwass is her junior and junior.
But when Haina thought about her experience at the Pelican Bar that day, she still subconsciously called Aiwass "Sir".
After all, other people didn't know, but she knew it in her heart - that day she defeated those two bad guys entirely thanks to Aiwass's command.
"Yes," Iverson said frankly, "It was because I was in danger that day that my father later found Bishop Mathers to teach me the sacred skills in advance and gave me extraordinary equipment for self-defense."
The key to the Chapel of Saint-Guinevere is now hidden in Aiwass's suitcase.
The crimson "key" was thicker, thicker, and longer than Haena's sword, weighing at least six or seven pounds. It was clearly not something he could carry to class, but if he left it at home, he'd be hard to find when he needed it. So Aiwass hid it in a hidden compartment in his suitcase.
The old professor was a little incredulous: "It's only been a few days, and you've already mastered the art of illumination? Even with your right hand..."
The difficulty of using the right hand to cast the Illumination Technique is more than five times higher than that of the left hand! Even if the left hand can output steadily, suddenly asking the opponent a question while the right hand is illuminating will often interrupt the Illumination Technique instantly.
Even if Professor Bud is not a transcendent, he must know the content of the seminary graduation examination - the right hand illuminates for ten seconds without interruption and stably outputs two units of mana when disturbed.
If you can accomplish this, you are at least a qualified priest. You will no longer be interrupted by someone while using illumination magic because you are distracted and talking.
And Aiwass has just started school, but he can already use the right hand lighting technique...
"So, I won't be stuck by the graduation threshold."
Aiwass explained with a smile, appearing confident: "Whether it's academic subjects or the fundamental skills of a pastor, I'm confident I won't fall behind. I can even say that completing three semesters' worth of courses in two semesters won't be a problem at all."
"And if you go on an archaeological expedition, it would be difficult to hire a priest to accompany you, right? Ruin excavation is supposed to be a very dangerous job. Having a priest who is skilled in lighting, whether it's healing or actual lighting, would be much easier.
"As for my leg—don't worry about it. It will heal in at least six months, or at most a year. The earliest I can do it is during my freshman year, and at the latest, my sophomore year. I can also go with you on the archaeological expedition then... Professor, you won't mind me, will you?"
"...Now that you've said that," Professor Budd said with a wry smile, but the joy on his face was evident. "How can I refuse you?"
"So, professor, do you agree?" Aiwass asked happily.
"Well, I agree. To make it easier for me to take care of you, I'll take Lily in as well."
Since it doesn't matter whether you accept one or two, Professor Bud simply accepted Lily as his student as well.
His hesitation finally settled. He looked at Aiwass, no longer hesitant, but relieved and added bluntly, "Also, it's not that hard to hire a priest... to be more precise, it's just impossible. You're the first priest I've met who's interested in archaeology. Generally, only transcendents of the three paths of Wisdom, Adaptation, and Dusk are interested in ancient ruins."
"When injured in the ruins, we can only rely on herbs adapted to the Way and the preservation spells of the Dusk Way. However, these two methods of treatment are much weaker than the Church's illumination spells, and they also require luck. I have several old friends and two students who died in the ruins due to delayed treatment after their injuries..."
Having said that, Professor Bud was silent for a while in discomfort, and the joyful smile on his face faded.
Aiwass did not comfort the old man, but just quietly accompanied him.
Haena and Lily remained silent, and the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment. The noise outside the closed classroom door took the opportunity to seep into the room - it was the energy and joy of youth.
After only a dozen seconds, the old professor adjusted himself.
The old man coughed and smiled again, but it was a little lighter than before: "I would like to formally invite you now, Mr. Aiwas Moriarty.
"Within the free time allowed by your course, would you be willing to be my teaching assistant? Accompany me for at least four classes each month, and I will pay you two red candles per class."
At this point, Professor Bud couldn't help laughing himself: "Of course, as a 'Moriarty', I guess you wouldn't care about this.
"Besides that, your grades with me will be perfect. I can give you a note every week, allowing you to borrow books from the school library to make up for the knowledge you missed in this course. If you have any questions for other professors or want them to help you with anything, I can also write you a letter of recommendation."
The latter are the real benefits.
Moreover, Professor Budd offered Aiwas very relaxed conditions—only four classes per month, which was actually the same class he attended weekly at the seminary. Professor Budd also taught classes at other colleges, but his meaning was very simple.
Even when Professor Bud was teaching a class at another college, Aiwass could skip it and make it his own schedule. If he could attend, that was fine; he could make up for the missed class by studying on his own, or he could directly consult with the professor for the corresponding course or ask questions.
That is, giving him special treatment. And then using Professor Bud's favor to pay the price.
"I'm very honored."
Aiwass responded with a polite smile.
After that, they had to sign a contract and send it to the Dean of Iverson for stamping. But these were just formalities, and Professor Budd could handle it himself.
This wave is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
Both sides felt that they had made a profit, or even won a lot.
After finishing his business, Aiwass prepared to go and greet his old friend Little John. By the way, he also wanted to ask Brother Dengzi if he had encountered any strange people recently - especially strange women.
If he had encountered it, that would probably be the beginning of the plot.
But when the classroom door was opened by Haina who walked over.
Suddenly, Aiwas saw a group of people gathered at the door, and there was a lonely person hanging not far away.
"...Isn't that Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Haina asked in confusion, "She's from the Sixth Department, right? Why is she in the Fourth Department?"
When she said this, she was suddenly stunned and subconsciously looked at Aiwass.
It can’t be…
Isabel was seen with her back to the classroom, looking at the griffins flying up and down in the distance on the playground, her eyes full of envy.
In fact, the classmates who had gathered to chat with Aiwass also felt a little sorry for her standing alone in the distance. However, their families had warned them not to get close to the princess.
Because no one knows when she might suddenly die, it's easy for her to get into trouble.
Taking a step back, if the royal family of Avalon really became extinct due to the curse, those families that had previously had too close ties with the royal family might also be liquidated.
...And they actually didn't know why this noble princess was standing at the door of their classroom.
"Is he here to wait for Teacher Aiwass?" someone speculated in a low voice.
Today, "Teacher Aiwass" has become Aiwass's nickname.
"How is it possible..."
Many people immediately denied this groundless claim: "The Moriarty family has never had any relationship with the royal family."
"Don't cause trouble for Aiwass."
"By the way, has anyone told Aiwass about the problem with His Highness?"
"He should know too, right?"
"It's hard to say... Can someone tell Mr. Aiwass about this?"
While they were talking, Lily pushed Aiwass's wheelchair out of the classroom.
"Your Highness."
Aiwass greeted him gently, "Good afternoon...what brings you here?"
Hearing his voice, Isabel immediately turned around, smiled brightly and greeted him, "Good afternoon, Aiwass... I came to see you."
She wasn't nervous at all in front of Aiwass and asked straight to the point, "Did any classmates ask you out at noon today?"
……ah?
What?
In an instant, the crowd who were listening quietly nearby, even Haina and Professor Budd beside Aiwass, fell silent at the same time.
They all felt disbelief and incomprehension in an instant and in unison.
It’s not because Aiwass knows Princess Isabel.
It wasn't even Isabel who took the initiative to invite Aiwass to dinner... Of course, this was also outrageous.
It's so outrageous that I've never seen it before, and no one dares to think about it.
The most difficult thing to understand is that this princess can actually call out other people's names naturally and speak normally to others with words that ordinary people would say in life... instead of being cautious, speaking with a posture as if she is about to run away at any time, and using those honorifics that only middle-aged people in their forties or fifties like to say?
——It turns out that you can actually chat with people normally!
Little John, who thought he knew Aiwass best among the crowd, was also stunned.
...Did he understand it wrongly?
The reason why Aiwass rejected those girls was not because of Yulia... but because he and Her Royal Highness the Princess were childhood sweethearts who were secretly dating?
