57. Invitations
"Yin Sabel, Jasmine, please go to the professor's office of the Academy of Magic now, Teacher Fisher has something to do with you two."
When the student leaders of the dormitory club found Yin Sabel, Jasmine, and Mirika who were downstairs from the school, they had just finished class.
"Ah, okay, we'll go right away."
The two people who were called were slightly stunned, and then they all showed a little panic.
Yin Sabel was suddenly called by her name because she had copied Jasmine's homework over the weekend and turned it in, and she had every reason to suspect that Professor Fisher had noticed her little move.
Even as a princess, this sudden act of being called to the office by the teacher still made her heart beat sharply in this second, like the engine of a steam engine.
But she still looked calm in front of the outside, and after smiling and replying to the classmate who came to inform her, the classmate left. The moment the classmate left, her gentle expression couldn't hold back, and she became extremely flustered.
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over.
Before on Godling's Day, she knew that Professor Fisher had an unusual relationship with her sister, and her sister was usually the one who was the strictest with herself, in case... If Professor Fisher had given all his homework to his sister, wouldn't he have been able to go home?
When the time comes, my brother and father will all know!
I knew I wouldn't copy my homework, but on the weekend, my brother met with the ministers of the New Party and held a banquet in the Golden Palace.
That homework is so difficult, and it has to be handed in on Thursday and Monday, how can I do it!
Yin Sabel's face was bitter, the cold sweat on her forehead broke out, and when she turned her head, she found that Jasmine's expression was also very nervous.
She pursed her lips cautiously and covered her chest with her hands, looking like she was having trouble breathing.
Unlike Yin Sabel, who was worried about copying homework, Jasmine was afraid that the fact that she was a whale man would be exposed, in case the matter of being a subhuman was exposed...
She glanced at her roommates around her, and she didn't dare to think about what the consequences of exposure would be.
"You guys really are! Yin Sabel, I warned you not to copy your homework, Teacher Fisher must have said this in class! ”
Mirika is the most knowledgeable of the three about Fisher, and she reminded Yin Sabel as early as the weekend when she came back from the Golden Palace to copy Jasmine's homework, but seeing that she really didn't write it, she had to hand it in tomorrow.
"But... But if there's something at home, I didn't have time to write about it."
Yin Sabel looked at Mirika pitifully, and that look made Mirika sigh.
Yin Sabel is the gentle and generous princess in front of outsiders, only in front of familiar people will show her cute and childish side, than the princess, Mirika and Jasmine still treat her as a familiar bosom friend.
Now that something has happened, of course, I can only face it, and I made a decision immediately, Mirika touched her chin and said,
"From what I know about Teacher Fisher, he must have seen that Yin Sabel was copying your homework, and the reason why he called you two over was to criticize you. There is no need to think about the zero score for this homework, the key is to apologize to Teacher Fisher and promise not to do it again, and Yin Sabel, you are a princess, and the teacher will not embarrass you too much. ”
After saying that, because Mirika had revealed Mr. Fisher's information for a friend, she emphasized again with some guilt,
"But, next time! You really can't copy your homework anymore, and next time maybe Mr. Fisher will hand you over to the Academic Affairs Office, you know? ”
Yin Sabel nodded bitterly, but Jasmine was relieved to realize that Teacher Fisher was not looking for herself for the events of that night.
Then, after that breath of relief, she fell into the same panic as Yin Shabel about the turmoil of copying homework, which belonged to a wave of unevenness.
But if it's uncomfortable, it's hard to be uncomfortable, and you still have to go.
"Hurry up, I won't go this time, lest Mr. Fisher know that I will give you advice later, remember, it is absolutely okay to apologize well!"
"Good..."
Yin Sabel and Jasmine walked in the direction of the teacher's office with a bitter face, and after passing several teaching buildings, they finally saw the classroom office of the School of Magic in the last building.
When they pushed the door in and came to the door of Fisher's office, the door of his office was open, revealing what was inside.
"Mr. Fisher is sure he's going to participate in this volunteer teaching, right?"
"Yes, the subject is ethics."
"Okay, we'll notify you of the specific time and place from next week, so please pay attention to check your email then."
"Okay, thank you."
Fisher was about to get up and send the teacher away, but as soon as he stood up, he saw the girl standing outside the door, as restrained as two small animals.
Yin Sabel stood in front, and Jasmine carefully hid behind her, looking inside the office with curiosity and fear.
Although she is not human, she is no less afraid of being invited to the office by her teacher than Yin Sabel.
"Come in."
Fisher glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and the surging opening made Yin Sabel almost squeeze in by Jasmine behind her.
"Professor Fisher..."
The two of them said hello, but Fisher did not reply, but motioned for the two of them to sit in front of their desks. Fisher took a cup of coffee, and then put the two chapters of the homework list in front of them, and Yin Sabel soon saw the large number of circles on her homework and the big zero egg at the beginning, and she almost fainted.
Jasmine looked at her perfect homework, and she didn't know why, but she pursed her lips at the same time,
"This is last week's homework, a total of three big questions, three questions and the two of you have roughly the same idea, now I want to ask the two of you, whether there is plagiarism between you."
Ay?
It seems that Mr. Fisher is still not sure if he copied Jasmine's homework?
Hearing Fisher's words, he didn't seem to have any conclusive evidence that he copied Jasmine's homework, so he came to ask himself?
Yin Sabel subconsciously wanted to say that she had not plagiarized, but she turned her head to look at Jasmine, and recalled Milika's words, she pursed her lips, lowered her head and said,
"Yes, I... I plagiarized Jasmine's homework, and I took the initiative to ask Jasmine to give it to me, and it was all my fault. ”
"No... Mr. Fisher, it's me..."
Jasmine tried to explain, but Fisher raised her hand to stop her from speaking.
He nodded and looked at Yin Shabel, and said,
"Very good, then according to what I said in the first class, your homework is judged to be plagiarism this time, you will get zero marks and a warning, if you have the next class, you will fail the course, do you have any opinion?"
"No... No. ”
Fisher pointed to her homework,
"In the third question, in the elaboration of the worldview of the essence of magic, only Jasmine and you have the same ideas in the class, but when I designed the third question, each student got a slight difference in the magic data, your secondary ring number is 101, her secondary ring number is 107, but your data is the same as her use."
As soon as Fisher's words came out, Yin Sabel knew that he had asked if he had plagiarized and was fishing for law enforcement. Fisher must have called himself and Jasmine over when there was conclusive evidence, and if he had just said that he had not plagiarized, I am afraid it would be more than a warning.
"Now tell me, why did you go and copy Jasmine instead of completing my homework carefully?"
"I'm sorry, Professor Fisher, but my brother had an important banquet over the weekend that I had to attend, so I delayed my homework..."
Fisher's fingers tapped on the table, and the brother Yin Sabel was referring to should be Dexter Godling, the eldest son of the current King Godlin IX, about seven years older than Yin Lizabeth, and the most likely prince among the children to succeed to the throne.
Because of Godlin IX's health, the king's usual affairs were now largely entrusted to the prince, and now that Schwally was about to visit Nari, the banquet he held for the officials of the New Party must have something to do with it.
It can probably be guessed that the prince will leave the matter to the new party.
He leaned towards the new party politically, but maintained a certain degree of ambiguity with the griffons, a skill that every king would have.
Fisher's heart silently flashed a little thought, and then agreed with Yin Sabel's statement,
"I see, but this is the last time, but if there is a next time, I will punish you according to the measures I said before, okay, you can go."
"Thank you, Professor Fisher!"
Jasmine and Yin Sabel breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and were about to get up to say hello to Fisher, but Fisher behind him suddenly spoke,
"Wait, I mean Yin Sabel can go, Jasmine, you stay here for a while, I have something to tell you."
"Whew..."
The girl who had just gotten up was immediately frightened by Fisher's words, and let out a panicked cry that was too small to be heard, she glanced at Fisher, and quickly sat down in a panic, looking at a loss.
Yin Sabel quietly squeezed Jasmine's shoulder, motioned for herself to wait for her outside, and exited the office.
After only Fisher and Jasmine were in the office, Fisher took a closer look at the girl in front of him for the first time.
The girl in front of her always liked to wear a loose dress that was not very popular now, and under that dress was a pair of knee-high white stockings and small black leather shoes. She sat in a conservative position, her feet were restrained together, her hands were subconsciously placed in front of her lower abdomen, and the skin on her face was slightly rosy.
"Professor Fisher... Anything else? ”
Her tentative, whispered words made Fisher forget for a moment that she was a subhuman, and at least now Fisher didn't see a single flaw in his appearance.
But he still remembered the whispered words of the girl in the swimming pool that night, and she had called the name of "La Mastia", that is, she was also from the Southern Ocean, and believed in this [God of Hundred Aspects] marine subspecies.
The last time I heard this name was from Reina on the boat, the little crab species.
"You did a very good job of your assignments, and you far surpassed your classmates in many questions."
Fisher pointed to her neat interface and said, "Especially the explanation of the nature of magic in the third question, this perspective is the first time I have seen it, and even I think it is amazing, it turns out that magic can be explained in this way." ”
In her third question, she sees magic as a connecting bridge, and in contrast to the conventional view of magic as a tool to reverberate the world, she understands the parts of magic as the parts of a bridge, and the orientation, body, and foundation of the bridge are the components of the magic coat of arms.
Fisher speculated that this might be the perspective of the Central Asians of the Sea on magic, and although Jasmine had whitewashed it with words, it still revealed her different worldview as a whale species.
"Hey... I, too, read a lot of the works of my predecessors... And then, and then I just thought so..."
She explained nervously, for fear that Fisher would find something out of it.
But Fisher didn't seem to think that at all, and he laughed, and said,
"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing, it shows that you have a long and excellent vision and magical talent, but even so, I have to criticize you for lending your homework, you can't do it next time, you know?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Fisher's warning, she sat up straight in fright and said in a louder voice.
But when she saw Fisher's surprise at her sudden and loud answer, she covered her mouth with a ruddy face and repeated in a whisper,
"Yes..."
Fisher came back to his senses from his surprise and said unhindered,
"That's right, my homework has a lot of parts that need to be corrected, and I usually have other things to do, so I have the idea of finding a student teaching assistant, who is usually responsible for helping me correct my homework and prepare for the tutorial course, in the tutorial course, you need to explain the homework and the doubts that arise in the course to the students."
"Of course, it's not for you to help for nothing. I'll pay you exactly what my teaching assistant is paying and can teach you a little more about magic and subhumans... I remember that at the beginning of the semester, you were the only one in the whole school who submitted an application letter to my subethnographic knowledge course. ”
At this point, Fisher's true purpose is revealed.
He seemed to really take a fancy to Jasmine's magical talent, and wanted to teach her more about magic, and at the same time relieve the pressure of grading his homework, after all, this kind of thing is common in both the Royal Academy and St. Nari University, for example, Milica is running for Lao Fang's literary assistant to help her correct ordinary homework.
However, Fisher's real purpose was actually to use this opportunity to bind the whale race that he had finally met, and he wanted to know everything about the whale race, including how she disguised herself as a human and what purpose she came ashore.
These secrets that she kept in her heart couldn't be revealed in ordinary ways, he needed an excuse to increase the probability of her revealing flaws, and the teaching assistant was just right.
"Huh? Can... But I..."
Jasmine subconsciously wanted to refuse, she is not the kind of person who likes to show her head, once there are more people, she can't even speak clearly, when she is at the bottom of the sea, everyone generally doesn't talk much, all rest in the trench, she is the most lively; Now, when I came ashore to the human side, I was shy by their enthusiasm.
But in her heart, she wanted to accept this invitation again.
Because she is interested in all things human, she feels that humans are friendly and creative, and have created many beautiful things, including their magic, architecture, opera, and most importantly, the delicious food!
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of taking classes in front of your classmates? ”
"Ah, that's... Well. ”
She blushed and nodded, apparently rightly told by Fisher.
"Well, the tutorial can be put off for a while, but I think you should also exercise your skills in this area."
He put their homework back into the bag that wrapped the homework, and he didn't know if he thought of something, and suddenly said,
"The lack of verbal expression may make you lose the opportunity to express your true thoughts and feelings, although it may seem like nothing at the time, but in the end, they will all turn into regrets, and they will remain in your heart for the rest of your life, this is a sincere piece of advice... Okay, what was your decision, can you tell me? ”
But Jasmine raised her head at this simple sentence, as if moved by Fisher's words, and after several seconds of silence, she nodded as if struggling, and responded,
"Hmm!"
