Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 107 The Silent Watson
"That's what you say...... It does seem a little strange......" At Allen's words, Riel also realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but shiver all over.
However, Ian interjected at this time and asked, "Huh...... What exactly are you talking about? Fourteen years ago?"
"Uh, it's fine. Thinking too much about the problem just now, Alan remembered that Ian was also there, so he had to perfunctory, "A little bit of my friend's family affairs...... It's the girl who acted with us on the day of the magic test. ”
"Oh......" Ian nodded as if he wanted to ask something.
But Riel changed the subject in time: "Hey, haven't you heard, something interesting about Hippold Watson, the professor of today's class. ”
"What's interesting?" Ian was drawn to the topic.
"It's about the way he conducts his classes, which is very quirky. "Because the student gave him the nickname 'Watson the Quiet'." ”
"Silent Watson?" Alan was also a little interested now.
"Well, I also heard it from the seniors by chance. "I heard that this professor barely speaks in class, just writes what he wants to talk about on the blackboard, or does experiments, unless a student really can't understand what he is going to do, and he will stop explaining when he asks him a question, and even if he explains, it is only a few words, and he never says a word." ”
"And this kind of thing?" Alan asked, a little unconvinced, and asked, "Are they describing it too exaggerated?
"Who knows. Riel shrugged, "We'll see for ourselves later." ”
"It's kind of funny. Allen said.
By this time they had already passed through the General Hall and entered the Hybrid Tower.
Presumably, there aren't many people who have been assigned to the medical department, so there aren't many students waiting for classes here, which makes the first floor seem a little deserted.
"Hey, who do you see that?" said Alan, who was in a daze, but Riel suddenly patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the other corner.
"Huh?" Alan looked over and saw that it was none other than Freya Wagbairn standing in the corner, and Cynthia was standing next to her.
At this time, Cynthia also accidentally caught a glimpse of Alan, so she smiled and waved at him to let him pass.
"Yo, sure enough, it's still early. Alan smiled as soon as she walked over. "Just now I was wondering if I'd ever run into you again. ”
"Didn't you only take elemental courses, why did you suddenly come here?" Alan was a little strange, he clearly remembered that Cynthia had said that the classes she was going to take were five elemental courses.
"I'm just sending Freya here, not for class. Cynthia glanced at Freya and said, "She's not well, so Frey has arranged for us to be in the same room so that we can take care of each other." ”
"What's the matter, in fact, you have always taken care of me unilaterally...... Freya whispered, then bowed a little to greet them, and then moved behind Cynthia as if she was afraid, still with the same shy expression as she had that day, and lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Also, I've had to keep up with it these last few days, and the Temnabo kids are a bit entangled...... Frey, on the other hand, didn't want Freya to have too much to do with him. Cynthia whispered close to Alan's ear, giving him a look to look the other way.
Alan glanced sideways and saw that the kid named Kevin Temnabo was looking at them. He looked oily, as if he was fatter than when I first picked him up at the beginning of school.
"Uh...... I figured if I were Frey, I wouldn't want my sister to have too much in touch with this kind of person. Alan said with a look of disgust.
"Poof. Cynthia was amused by his expression and smiled lightly, but quickly returned to earnest: "But Frey doesn't hate him because of his looks...... It's because his father is Ryan Temnabo, now the head of the Crivari Security Department. ”
"Minister?" Alan was a little surprised, "With such a high position and a well-to-do family, why would Frey avoid them?"
"I didn't ask him, but I could guess from Frey's personality alone. Cynthia glanced at little Temnabo, then stared at Alan and said, "Frey has a strong sense of justice, and he hates people who are secretive and not upright enough. The previous Minister of Security was Kevin's grandfather...... You get the idea, I mean?"
"You mean his father's current position is ......" Alan suddenly remembered what Old Adrian had told him about the Winslow family's illegal buying and selling of positions, and immediately understood.
"Shhhhh ”
"Hmm......" Alan nodded, no more talking.
"Alright, it's almost time for class, and it's time for me to go. Since you're here, stay with her for a while. Cynthia looked at the few of them and smiled, "I'll pick her up on time when class ends." ”
"Uh, okay then. "Although I'm not very good at dealing with strangers, especially girls, but since it's Cynthia's trust, Alan can't refuse.
Cynthia went to talk to Freya again, and then left.
After introducing themselves to Freya one by one, they froze in place, not knowing what to say. When she met such a shy girl, even Riel couldn't find anything to talk about.
But fortunately, Freya seemed to be used to this, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all, just holding the book in her arms, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking, maybe she was just in a daze.
The four of them just stood together bored, quietly waiting for class.
Not long after Cynthia left, Alan saw that little Temnabo looked like he was about to move, looking here more and more often, as if he wanted to come.
Alan couldn't help but be a little anxious, because if Cynthia was there, little Temnabo dared to come over to trouble Freya, and she might not hesitate to give him a "thunderbolt package". After all, Cynthia is from the Winslow family, and she will never dare to act rashly with her in Little Temnabo. However, Cynthia's departure gave him an opportunity, little Temnabo was tall and big, and magic was not allowed to be used at will on campus, and if he wanted to come, Alan and the others would not be able to stop him.
Just as Alan was thinking about it, what he feared happened.
I saw little Temnabo slowly approaching this side step by step, looking around as he went, until he was about to come to this side, he was sure that Cynthia was really gone.
"Dear Miss Freya!" exclaimed little Temnabo, looking excited, as if he had finally seized a golden opportunity to approach her, "did you miss me for a day!?"
Freya ignored him and subconsciously ducked behind Alan and Riel.
Looking at little Temnaba's face, and hearing his words again, Riel almost threw up, and looked at him with disgust in his eyes.
As soon as Freya dodged like this, Temnabo seemed to have just seen that there were three other people here, and his face immediately changed, and his face was impatient: "Who are you guys? Get out of the way!"
Riel only felt that he had become uglier after changing this expression, and his eyelids drooped down, trying to cover his eyes.
"We are her friends. Alan said.
"Friend?" exclaimed little Temnabo, as he looked at the few of them, "I had never heard of noble Miss Freya having a poor friend like you!
Then little Temnabo looked at Freya in a flattering tone, "Isn't it? Miss Freya?"
Since Eren was relatively thin and couldn't stop Freya, she simply hid behind Riel when she heard this.
Little Temnabo was not happy at this time, and yelled at them with a hideous face: "I can warn you, don't come to the misery of nothing! I only count to three, if you don't get out of the way, I'll go back to my father and lock you all up in the Misty Forest!"
Alan was a little panicked when he heard him say this, but remembering Cynthia's instructions before leaving, he still stood still motionless.
"We're not breaking the law, and you don't have the right to do that!" Rare was not to be outdone.
"One!" I thought that little Temnabo was just scaring them, but I didn't expect him to actually start counting.
"Two!" Temnabo Jr. shouted as he raised his hand and pointed at Allen's nose.
Now Riel is also a little panicked.
Although Alan was pounding with nervousness, he still stood in front of Freya with Riel.
"Three!" said Temnabo Jr. as he raised his hand as if to knock him down, but stopped abruptly halfway through his shout.
Alan looked a little puzzled at Temnabo's arm, only to realize that someone behind him had grabbed his wrist.
Little Temnabo was a little angry, and broke free a few times to shake the man's hand away, to see who dared to meddle in this matter.
However, when he turned around, he couldn't be arrogant, just muttered "Hello professor" and quickly slipped away.
Alan took a closer look at the man and saw that it was a tall, white-haired old man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were fixed on the direction in which little Temnabo had slipped away.
Alan immediately realized who it was, so he quickly greeted him as well, "Uh...... Good afternoon, Professor!"
However, the old man did not react, just looked at them silently, nodded slightly, and walked away.
"Professor?" "Professor?" Riel was a little confused, staring blankly at his departing back, and after a long time tentatively asked, "Is this old man ......?"
"Yes. Alan nodded, "I think he's what you call ...... 'Silent Watson'." ”
