201 Monitoring (2/2)
Lucien understood what she was trying to say. If felt that it was Lucien who handed the decisive weapon to win the battle to their enemies, but Lucien was also innocent.
The other teachers also felt the same way.
”I don’t really mind it,” said K in his low voice, trying to comfort his colleague. ”Lucien did a great job, and the progress does not belong to a certain school, but to the whole congress. The truth of the world won’t be changed by the meaningless arrogance of some people.”
Jerome smiled, ”Sorry, we just don’t like people like Beate, and it’s not your fault at all, Lucien.”
”Come on, Lucien can publish more great papers exploring the world of elements as well!” Rock waved his arms and cheered up.
The teachers got more relaxed now, and they started discussing some related academic topics heatedly. The apprentices were listening to them carefully, as if they were enjoy some exciting stories.
When it was early afternoon, some teachers left Lucien’s place, followed by the apprentices. Only Chely looked quite lost in her own thoughts.
”Hey, Chely. Time to go.” Heidi patted her on the shoulder.
Chely suddenly came back to herself, and then she said shyly, ”Watching Mr. Evans and the other teachers’ discussion brought me back to the days when I watched my father discussing with his knights in our place. The teachers’ conversation was passionate and insightful, and it’s not like how people in Sturk describe sorcerers at all. Since the first day I arrived in Allyn, I am deeply touched by what I’ve seen… This place is like a dream, but I’m also afraid…”
”Communication…” Lucien responded. ”Communication’s always very important when people face difficulties.”
Lucien believed that if Natasha and Silvia could have communicated in a better way, they would not end up like that.
Chely nodded but still felt quite depressed.
Seeing this, Lucien walked to the piano sitting in the living room. It was the school who sent the piano, since Lucien was also teaching music.
The music Lucien started playing was very familiar to most Chinese kids - Two Tigers.
”Cheer up; Cheer up; little Chely, little Chely! The bell’s ringing; the bell’s ringing; Don’t be late, Don’t be late.”
Lucien sang the young girl a cute song. A smile jumped on Chely’s face, and Heidi, Layria and Annick behaved the same. The apprentices all burst out into laughter.
”Thank you, Mr. Evans. Your playing’s wonderful.” Chely stood up and said sincerely.
After the apprentices left Lucien’s place happily, Lucien walked to his study with a smile on his face, however, he felt a bit stressed in his mind.
Since some elements here in this world were different from what he had learned in his original world, Lucien was now having a hard time grouping them in order. As he could not identify some of the elements, Lucien could only temporarily consider them as some strange isotopes, however, currently he could not go any further.
He must hurry. He must win enough attention from the Will of Elements.
Sitting in front of the pile of cards representing different elements, when Lucien was about to continue his research, he suddenly felt something hot in front of his chest.
The heat came from Sun’s Corona! It was alerting Lucien that some undead creature was approaching him!
Lucien’s facial expression did not change even in the slightest, but quickly he thought to himself,”There must be some powerful undead thing staying right beside me… but why it hasn’t launched its attack? Is it trying to see what I am doing?”
Sun’s Corona was the undeads’ invincible opponent!
