When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 102: Chapter 67 Assistant Aiwass

Professor Bard was actually very liberal and knowledgeable.

In fact, he was essentially the most authoritative historian in Avalon.

It was just that he wasn't good at lecturing—instead of teaching classes, he was more adept at studying diligently alone amid piles of ancient documents.

At this moment, a thought arose in the history professor's mind.

Perhaps... he could hire Aiwass as his teaching assistant.

His knowledge in this area had already surpassed that of many third-year students.

But perhaps that wouldn't work. Principally, assistants were to be chosen from outstanding juniors or seniors, just like Hayna.

Mr. Aiwass was only a freshman, which was not exactly following the rules...

While Professor Bard was lost in thought, Aiwass had already skillfully steered the conversation back to the Star Antimony Kingdom, capturing everyone's attention and anticipation:

"This is why the Path of Wisdom and the Path of Love were banned within Avalon.

"Have you ever considered, if they had not been banned... but had been allowed to develop in balance with the Path of Authority, what would have happened?

"What we would be discussing then is the fall of the Heracel Empire."

Aiwass said, looking down and raising his voice in contrast to the content on the lecture notes: "Students, please turn your textbooks to page two hundred and forty-one."

The next moment, the classroom returned to tranquility.

The sound of turning pages rose uniformly and clearly within the classroom.

"The history of the Heracel Empire was long and its territory vast... and this would result in the existence of Transcendents from all the different paths within it.

"You might find it hard to imagine, but the most mainstream mystical skill in the empire was Demonology. In fact, that was where the profession of 'Demon Scholar' first originated. People studied demons much like how we study mechanics and physics; they developed new rituals just as our inventors here craft new things. And under the Transcendent path, the Alchemists of the Path of Balance and the Painters of the Path of Beauty each had their own associations."

"Rituals, Alchemy, Art; the balanced development of these three mystical skills made the empire thrive and prosper."

At this point, Aiwass set down the lecture notes.

"""

He raised his head to begin speaking of his own matters, and the students uniformly looked up in anticipation, "But just one year before the Torn Earth War began, alchemists and artists had a fierce conflict."

"The initial spark of the war was a painting titled 'The Alchemist'. It depicted the working environment of alchemists. Alchemy was originally closed off and secretive, but an alchemist opened his workshop to a painter friend, allowing the painter to sketch his work."

"However, the painting invited the discontent of the alchemists. For one thing, it was not accurate enough, with numerous errors in motion, placement, and attire, all distorted to make the composition look good; for another, it was too precise, such that a secret painting hung as a background on the alchemist's wall was clearly captured—this painting suggested an ancient technique for 'creating artificial rats using grains and basil leaves,' which was extremely valuable knowledge."

"...Artificial rats?"

Hayna, by Aiwass's side, couldn't help but frown and repeat, "What's the use in that?"

She had not heard this story before.

Instead, he stepped aside and patted Mr. Aiwass's shoulder with a smile, warmly gesturing for him to continue speaking.

The more the old professor watched this handsome and learned young man, the more he liked him.

Especially since he himself wasn't adept at teaching...

It must be said that Mr. Aiwass's control over the pace of the class was indeed good!

If he were not a Transcendent, and instead went to the Faculty of Humanities to study history, he could have become a remarkable historian. Or he might also have been an excellent tutor.

It's just a pity... he surely wouldn't abandon the Path of Devotion.

But now, Professor Bard had made up his mind.

Even if it were against the rules, he would snatch up Mr. Aiwass first, to be his teaching assistant!

Never mind the "in principle"—

Otherwise, sooner or later, other instructors would discover Aiwass's strengths!

At Royal Law University, there's no shortage of instructors like him who are good at research but not at teaching.

But they won't beat me, because I'm going to make the first move!

The old professor, delighted, squinted his eyes and couldn't help but repeatedly praise, "Truly deserving of the recognition by Isabel the Princess... seeing is believing."

...Huh?

Hayna, standing to the side, was taken aback, "The Princess?"

"Yes," the old professor kindly explained for this student, whom he also liked, "Last night, Mr. Aiwass was invited by Isabel the Princess to a private dinner. He didn't return until very late... by now, the entire upper echelon of Avalon should know about this.

"At first, I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems likely to be true. It's not just scholarly knowledge, but most importantly, this demeanor—speaking in front of so many people for the first time, and students he had never met before, yet not showing any stage fright and keeping the pace. He must have the adaptability of the Path of Authority.

"I now believe that he really did decisively shoot the Demon Scholar dead. When I saw the news, I thought it was flattery towards 'Moriarty,' crediting your achievements to him... after all, how could a disabled commoner possibly attack a Transcendent who has resonated with a Path? The oppressive power of Transcendents over us ordinary people is absolute... not trembling to incapacity already demonstrates an iron will."

"That is true."

Hayna instinctively defended Mr. Aiwass in a soft voice, "I saw it with my own eyes."

But she still found it somewhat unbelievable. .net

Because she, too, had seen the Princess and knew what kind of person she was.

That seemingly introverted adorable girl... would actually invite someone over for a meal?

And, until very late...

—Was it the 'very late' she was thinking of?
