118. Teachers and students
Kelly smiled awkwardly:
"I'm sorry, we still have lessons to ......"
"Okay!" Iona agreed, turning her head to look at Kelly with a pleading gaze, "I don't have classes in the afternoon, so you can stay with me." β
Kelly grimaced:
"I'm really going to have something, we'll be together next time ......"
Iona didn't see Kelly's hint, and said in a low voice:
"Then you go back first, I'll leave later. β
Kelly looked at the iron door that seemed to engulf all the light, then at her dumbfounded friend, gritted her teeth, and said:
"Forget it, I'll accompany you. β
Iona jumped up and hugged Kelly, and said happily:
"Kelly, I love you so much. β
Heven opened the door and let the two ladies and Hara in.
Since you want to break into the school, it is a good step to build a good relationship with your own students.
That's right, both of them have already taken their own courses.
After all, he was inserted halfway, although his academic attainments were high enough, it was impossible for the school to give him a major course this semester, and it would be too overkill to let him teach other courses.
So the Faculty of History offered him an elective course, which was a folklore course for the whole university.
Of course, the dean of the School of History also had his own thoughts, and while all those who studied the aspects of history and culture in depth had heard of Herwin's name, it was likely that the layman would not be able to understand his scholarly achievements.
So first to build his reputation through electives, then to publicize his achievements both internally and externally, and then to limit it to the Faculty of History as an elective or major next year.
Anthony envisioned that the master of folklore would attract a large number of students interested in history and sociology, and he would be able to grab a lot of students.
You must know that there is no discipline dedicated to folk culture, and even if there are relevant courses, most of them are the products of experimentation, but the books written by Hewen not only have enough achievements in folklore, but also have a more significant impact on the excavation of lost history.
Hervin smiled and asked the two students:
"Would you like something to drink?"
"The water is fine. Kelly preemptively said.
Herwin poured two glasses of water in front of them and placed them on the table.
The two students sat in a wooden high-backed chair with a cotton-like cushion and back, but Kelly wondered what the padding was.
She observed the dΓ©cor of the drawing-room, and instead of the eerie statues and strange symbols she had imagined, it was more normal than normal, and made her suspicion seem like a clumsy joke.
The crackling sound of an old-fashioned fireplace, and the specimens of shotguns and animal heads hanging on the walls tell visitors that the owner of the house is not as quiet and elegant as it seems.
Hervin put down his coffee cup:
"Thank you so much for helping little Hera with something. β
In order to dispel the sense of unease, Kelly plans to talk about some issues that normal people would talk about:
"Mr. Herwen, why would you let a girl carry a heavy quilt alone?"
Kelly always pays attention to her tone when she speaks, so that the words don't sound reproachful.
Hara sat in a chair to Hevin's left, to the right of Kelly and Iona.
The little girl handed the cup to Hervin.
Herwin poured milk into Hara's cup:
"Hola is a reliable and powerful child, and she has more power in her body than you can imagine. β
Kelly forgot her fear, and instinctively retorted:
But she is still a child, and even if she is strong inside, she can't break through her physical limitations. β
Hewen paused:
"I'm not going to discuss whether or not physical limitations are mentally affected, I don't mean mental strength, but physical strength, and she has extraordinary athletic talent and reflexes. β
Kelly asked curiously:
"You mean?"
Hervin took a sip of coffee:
"She's an athletic prodigy, and she's learned self-defense skills since she was a child, and she's probably safer walking alone on the street than the two of you combined. β
Hara is certainly not an athletic genius, but in terms of physiology, she does have "athletic ability" that surpasses most humans, and in order to deal with the dangers that may come, Herwin also taught her some simple fighting techniques.
Kelly is still not at ease:
"Isn't it too early for such a young child to learn self-defense skills?"
Hewen said half-truthfully:
"I can't be with her, and if I'm not there, she's in danger and has to have a way to deal with it. β
Hearing this, Hara twisted uneasily.
Kelly opened her mouth to ask what about the Herb girl's parents, but then she realized that it might be a sensitive question, at least not in front of the girl.
Iona grabbed the topic and asked:
"Mr. Herwin, are you a school staff member, or a student?"
Hervin smiled:
"I don't look like a student at my age. β
Iona said without hesitation:
"But he's also handsome, not like a lecturer or a teaching assistant, but like a wanderer who wears glasses and deliberately pretends to be Sven. β
Herwin touched his flat glasses:
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm the teacher at school. β
Both girls were a little surprised, Iona was surprised that a man like him could be a teacher, and Kelly was surprised that the other person was really an ordinary lecturer and not some kind of evil spirit parasitic on the campus.
Hervin asked politely:
"What kind of profession are you, maybe we'll meet again later. β
Iona raised her little hand first:
"I'm a student of biology, mainly studying living animals and plants. β
Kelly introduces herself:
"I'm an archaeology student who wants to unearth something with mysterious powers around the world. β
Hewen raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Mystical powers?"
Kelly explained in all seriousness:
"Yes, I believe that mysteries are real in this world, and I intend to devote my life to the pursuit and study of them. β
Herwin asked:
"Do you mean magic and monsters?"
Kelly nodded and shook her head:
"Not exactly, if there are magic and monsters, then they are part of the mystery, or rather, the mystery as I know it, is something that actually exists in this world, temporarily hidden in the shadows, and violates the workings of modern physics and common sense. β
Hervin asked with interest:
"So if magic is a discipline that explains principles and how to use it, does it fall under your definition of 'mystery' that violates modern physics?"
Kelly thought for a moment:
"Science is just a way to understand the world, and if there really were magic that could be learned systematically and had a complete principle, then they would have been popularized a long time ago, and on the contrary, as long as it did not float above the water, it meant that it was mysterious. β
Hervin says:
"I understand your thoughts, in your mind 'mystery' is beyond the laws of nature, and has a characteristic that is difficult to carry out? β
At this time, Kelly suddenly realized that for some reason, she seemed to be facing the professor's students, and put forward the immature theories buried deep in her heart to the teacher one by one.
It's like an ignorant flying insect that gets caught in a spider's web before you know it.
