Chapter 239 (2/2)
It was a pity that Tianjing Academy's Little Hymin wasn't here to see this scene. If she were then he might have had a chance to salvage this situation. Unable to resist, Sully shot w.a.n.g Zhong a look from the corner of his eyes. What he saw almost made him burst into laughter. The man stood by himself, no one caring enough to stand near and talk with him. He was a complete outcast in this large hall's high-level atmosphere. This made him all-the-more happy within his heart.
”What interesting thought are you having, Little Friend Sully?” Calderon suddenly asked with a smile.
A tremor shook Sully's heart. But just as he was about to open his mouth and reply, a sudden clamoring of noise began to sound within the large hall.
”Headmaster Schoffel has arrived.” Moving closer, Socrates murmured the news into Calderon's ear.
”What did his honour come here for?” Calderon couldn't help exclaiming in shock.
If one counted Calderon and the others as eminent, unapproachable figures to this group of younglings, then Headmaster Schoffel would definitely be an existence that towered over them like a mountain.
Vice-dean of the Federation's Inst.i.tute of Science. Don't look down on him just because of the attached 'vice-'. This t.i.tle wasn't much lower than the position of dean itself. His contributions to the sciences on the aspect of rune patterns was more than enough to cement his status. It was just slightly lower than those legendary scientists of the past. In this era he could be considered as one at the peak.
Similarly, the Federation's Inst.i.tute of Science was an ultra-privileged division. One could say the authority behind the Inst.i.tute of Science wasn't the least bit weaker than the government itself. Furthermore, Headmaster Schoffel was the brother of the current Potter Clan leader. At the same time, he acted as the Great Elder of the clan and possessed similarly high authority and say within the clan. When tied with his control over Copperfield Academy, he was a G.o.dfather level figure within the city.
Right now, happiness was already present on Calderon's face. This sir headmaster didn't like to show his face in such events. Although they lived in the same city, a figure like Calderon might not be able to see Schoffel even if he sent a heartfelt request. He hastily rushed to his feet, Socrates and the rest following suit. This large group couldn't wait to send their greetings out. Such a chance was hard to come by!
For them, don't even think about getting into sir headmaster's graces, just speaking a few words with him today would be a matter that would grant one incomparable face within Copperfield City.
One had to notice that everyone present had such scary thoughts in their hearts. That group of little fellows partic.i.p.ating in this special training had actually just seen Headmaster Schoffel in the afternoon. At that time they had seen an extremely stern image of him. But knowing he would appear in this event, quite a few people suddenly turned a bit crazy. A number of people quickly shoved their way toward the entrance and w.a.n.g Zhong was thrown to the back again. Compared to before, however, instead of vice-captains it was everyone doing so.
”Excuse me, excuse me! Don't block the way!”
”Headmaster Schoffel! Headmaster Schoffel… f.u.c.kers. A good dog doesn't block the road!”
Currently, Laura didn't seem to care about Sir Captain w.a.n.g being shoved around like a punching bag. Grandpa actually came to such a small party? He never even gave me any notice! This was truly too accidental for her.
At the front of this crowd, indeed, walked in a casually-dressed Old Potter.
”Why did you come, grandfather?” With extreme happiness in her expression, Laura grabbed hold of the old man's neck. Old Potter was her grandfather and teacher, but he normally didn't bother to attend such a gathering. Did the sun rise in the west?
”Little Laura, is a fella by the name of w.a.n.g Zhong here?” An incomparably stern expression was on Old Potter's face as he spoke with extreme caution.
Apprehension immediately filled the hearts of everyone in this large hall. Calderon and a handful of others here were extremely clear of the explosive and fiery temper Headmaster Schoffel possessed. They couldn't bear to listen as they turned to look behind them. w.a.n.g Zhong? Was it that fellow from Tianjing Academy? What violation did this fella pull?
