“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Kay Beny. I’ve been to China on academic trips, but I don’t remember seeing such a young lecturer there.” First Prince Beny had come over without them realizing it. He had a doubtful grin on his face.
The lecturers who were invited to the Aorus Sacred Institute had to have a certain reputation at the international level. Most lecturers who had come today already knew one another. Even if they were not familiar with a person, they would know who the person was just by hearing their names.
First Prince Beny did not put too much attention on the lecturers from China. It was normal to see new faces at a gathering, but he did not feel comfortable when he saw the student union’s president Sharjah standing behind them like a little girl.
Sharjah was such an otherworldly girl. Why would she find this yellow-skinned man who did not stand out in the slightest attractive? First Prince Beny did not think his class was really that interesting.
First Prince Beny meant to claim the limelight during the gathering. The crowd’s attention had to be on him at all times, no matter where he went. Even Yesemia had been looking at Mo Fan after she stopped talking.
As a matter of fact, she had never seen the young lecturer from China before, either.
Not everyone was eligible to be a lecturer at the Aorus Sacred Institute. Yesemia was not a fan of the concept of merging different Elements, either. She would even describe it as forbidden. When she recalled how Sharjah had contradicted her in front of the crowd, she decided to side with First Prince Beny.
“That’s right, I almost forgot we have some Chinese lecturers who did a fantastic job teaching their classes. They couldn’t make it to the opening ceremony, so I believe this is a great chance to ask them to introduce themselves. I’ve been quite active in the academic field for the past few years, yet I’ve never seen them before. They must have great contributions in certain fields to be invited to our Aorus Sacred Institute as guest lecturers here as exceptions!” Yesemia chimed in with false warmth.
Mo Fan glanced at Sharjah with a wry smile when he saw many people looking at him.
He could have muddled along if he had remained unnoticed. After all, he was not really a lecturer, yet Sharjah had brought him so much unwanted attention for no reason!
“This is bad, we are fakes after all. If they ask us some tricky questions, it’s going to expose us. We don’t know if Herr Casa is one of the Black Vatican, but I’m sure he’s related to them somehow. It’s going to be difficult to continue the investigation if we inadvertently alert them now,” Zhao Manyan whispered to Mu Bai.
“We’ve gone too far. We should have let Mo Fan talk about magic duels. He wouldn’t have any problem with that,” Mu Bai agreed with a slight hint of regret.
Mo Fan remained perfectly calm while the others were doubting him. He said confidently, “My name is Mo Yifan, I’m a mentor of the national team. Unlike others who like to show their face in public, I spend most of my time in the labs and conduct experiments that are related to my field. If it wasn’t for my mentor Feng Zhoulong, who insisted on sending me here to get some fresh air, I think I would still be in Guangzhou enjoying the delicacies there. The food here sucks!”
The gathering had a buffet served with local fruit, smoked deer meat, salads, roasted chickens… but apart from the fruit, everything else was almost tasteless. They were almost like dried rations compared to the delicacies in Guangzhou!
