842 Open Class (2/2)

Felipe did not like being exposed to the public, so he rarely accepted the invitations of TV interviews and preferred newspapers or radio stations.

Karl smiled in a low voice. ”I wonder if his arcana expertise is as what the newspapers described…”

”You don't know that?” Donnie asked, finding it odd. Such a renowned archmage who had good chances to become legendary should've received much attention in his family. Huh. Why is Mr. Felipe only wearing the badges of the Arcana Review Board and the Hand of Paleness, instead of arcana and magic badges like regular sorcerers would?

Karl shook his head. ”I do not have enough arcana knowledge to decide his papers and his research, and my brother does not like to discuss him. However, he must be awesome to have won so many honors.”

From the podium, Felipe looked around at the apprentices and sorcerers down below. Wherever his eyes reached, everybody fell silent. Then, he spoke with his special gloomy voice, ”I am Felipe. You may call me mister or mentor. I'm here today to show you the bleeding-edge theories and achievements in genetics. It's possible that you do not understand them, but you must know them, or you will rot like the bodies in coffins without being able to present any valuable works…”

Donnie listened attentively. However, he keenly sensed that Mr. Felipe's eyes seemed to have stopped for a while on the few of them. Of course, the pause was so short that Donnie thought it was his illusion.

”Mr. Felipe is entirely different from the other mentors. The other mentors all said that they were here to share the latest knowledge with us, but he…” Sammy asked the ghost on his back to rub his forehead to keep himself calm.

Jones also nodded. ”Yes, he is very blunt and straightforward, completely ignoring our feelings…”

As Felipe's speech went deeper, everybody was captivated by the marvelous genetics, which included chromosomes, genetic models based on alchemical reactions, and the speculations and experiments on heredity.

Most of the information was too much for the sorcerers and apprentices to understand, but they were indeed amazed by the wonders of the field that involved the secrets of life.

”That is all my speech. Do you have any questions?” Without them knowing it, it was already noon, and Felipe put his right hand back into his pocket.

The apprentices and sorcerers were just back to themselves and hadn't even raised their hands when a magnetic male voice said, ”I have a question!”

Donnie looked at Karl, only to see his highly-raised hand and his fully-written notebook.

Felipe nodded and said casually, ”What is your question?”

Karl stood up excitedly and bowed. ”Hello, Mr. Felipe, I am Brades. I would like to ask your opinion on the current genetic model. Personally, I don't…”

Donnie held his forehead helplessly and moved his eyes away, pretending that he did not know Karl. Based on his experience, Karl would certainly ramble on.

However, instead of waiting for Karl to finish, Felipe answered the question, ”It's obvious that the abundances and wondrousness of this world cannot be described and inherited by this simple model.”

Everybody gasped hard. Was Mr. Felipe openly expressing his dissatisfaction regarding the current genetic model?

Karl seemed rather uncomfortable when his long speech was cut. So, he asked again, ”Then, Mr. Felipe, do you think it is possible to change one's look by controlling genes? Is it possible to—”

Felipe interrupted him again, ”That's not a problem at all. As a matter of fact, the blood power research in the Magic Empire is exactly a practice in that regard, except that they did not have any theoretical guidance and could only summarize the pattern by abundant human experiments.”

Karl's face was so twisted as if he were being suffocated. ”I have one more question…”

”Please give other people a chance. You've already asked two questions,” Felipe said straightforwardly.

Karl could only sit down gloomily, but his lips were still moving up and down, as if he were talking to himself.

Donnie couldn't help but feel amused. Normally, there was no way that he could stop Karl from rambling. It was quite enjoyable to see the guy choked.

In the meantime, he raised his own hand, waiting to be picked.

......

After the open class, Felipe sat in a secret chamber in the teaching tower by himself. The artificial intelligence before him was playing all the pictures recorded in the college in the past three days. After the development of artificial intelligence and alchemical storage materials, it was much easier to save things now.

In the dim pictures, the whole college was in order, and when it came to night, everything was quiet without the slightest anomaly. Felipe stared at the pictures with a cup of red wine in his hand, not leaving out any detail. However, after half a day, he still did not find anything that deserved his attention.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door lightly.

”What is it?” Felipe asked.

”Mr. Felipe, somebody sent a note to you.” It was a servant.

Felipe nodded, and the door of the room was opened. The servant walked in and handed a plain-looking note to him.

”Donnie?” Felipe saw the handwriting that he was rather familiar with on the note and read the word on it.

......

In Room 202 of the Life Tower…

”Hu. It's not dangerous. My brother asks us not to worry about it and just leave it alone.” Karl jogged in from the outside and waved the note in his hands in great delight.
