I have a Tantric panel

in the office.

The morning light, refracted through the glass, spread out, casting a pale golden hue on the stacked easels and sculptures.

A slightly thin young man sat in front of an easel, his pale skin having a translucent quality under the light.

His features were naturally handsome.

After my complexion improved these past few days, I inevitably showed some handsome features.

But what truly surprised Aurora were his eyes.

Shane stared intently at the canvas, his eyes focused and serious, a kind of spiritual radiance shimmering within them.

It was as if another world was reflected in his pupils.

At the same time, his paintbrush fell to the ground.

With just a few strokes, a portrait comes to life on the paper.

That's exactly how Aurora looks in the painting.

Although the outline is rough and many details are not yet perfect, it has captured that mysterious charm.

"Are you... drawing me?"

Hearing the voice beside him, Xia En was startled.

I almost dropped the paintbrush in my hand.

"Professor Aurora, you've arrived."

Xia En immediately stood up, his back slightly sweaty.

It's a little awkward to copy someone's self-portrait in front of them.

"Well drawn."

However, Aurora clearly didn't care about such a small matter and instead smiled.

"I'd never heard of that teaching assistant Shane had such good drawing skills before."

"I studied on my own for a period of time before..."

Of course, Shane wouldn't reveal that this was the result of his "crash course" last night.

That kind of thing is a bit too shocking and outrageous.

Aurora had no doubts.

This level of skill is clearly not something that can be mastered by simply drawing casually.

He must have been practicing very hard in private, right?

Thinking of this, Alaria's gaze towards Shane softened even more.

Maintaining diligence despite difficulties, knowing how to resist temptation, plus this talent...

After thinking for a while, Ara made up her mind.

"Shane, would you... be my teaching assistant?"

Xia En was stunned.

I quickly understood: Aurora meant to become her personal teaching assistant!

She is not responsible to other professors in other colleges; she only needs to complete her own work.

In theory, this should definitely be a good thing.

Not only can it reduce the burden of work, but it can also obtain some relatively safe [mystical paintings] from Aurora.

only……

The disappearance of former teaching assistant Winnie did indeed make Shane feel slightly uneasy.

Just as she was hesitating, Aurora said again:

"I can offer you a monthly teaching assistant stipend of 5 gold crowns."

5 Gold Crowns!

The currencies of Albion, from lowest to highest, are copper mu, silver na, and gold crown, converted in a decimal system.

One tum can buy about a standard weight of bread.

Five gold crowns equals 500!

It's worth noting that Xia En's original assistant coach salary was only 3 gold crowns per month, which was basically all spent on rent and food, leaving him with nothing to save.

The subsidy for these 5 gold crowns is no small amount.

Without further hesitation, Xia En declared, "I do!"

"it is good."

Aurora nodded: "I'll go to the registrar's office to explain this. Could you help me prepare the documents I need this morning? They're all listed on that slip of paper over there."

"Yes, Professor!"

……

……

"Not a buddy?"

At lunchtime, after hearing Shane's story, Ronan looked on incredulously.

"Professor Aurora is such a picky person, yet she actually chose you as her personal teaching assistant?"

That's right.

Xia En was busy dealing with the large steak on his plate and mumbled indistinctly.

"I'll treat you to a meal when my allowance comes through..."

"Is this about the cost of the meal?!"

Ronan's lips twitched.

He also served as Professor Aurora's teaching assistant several times, and each time he faced Aurora, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Being stared at by those lake-blue eyes made one feel inexplicably uneasy.

Receiving even a single compliment from her is an unprecedented event.

Not to mention, my good buddy was directly selected as his personal teaching assistant this time!

Just how much does Professor Aurora admire this kid?

Ronan stared intently at Shane for a while.

Suddenly I realized that my good buddy is really different now.

During the meal, he didn't cough even once, and his cheeks even became a little rosy.

More importantly, his spirit and energy have changed.

The listless demeanor vanished, replaced by eyes as bright as stars and a back that sat ramrod straight.

and many more……

Was this guy always this handsome?

Ronan couldn't help but doubt his own memory.

Unable to understand, he didn't delve into it further, but simply offered a serious reminder.

"Although this is a good thing, we still have to be careful when dealing with Professor Aurora."

"clear."

"Just keep it in mind."

Ronan quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there's a charity gala this weekend, and I got a spot from my dad that I can bring someone along."

"Want to come along? We'll definitely get a big meal! Perfect for celebrating your promotion to personal teaching assistant."

Setting down his knife and fork, Xia En asked in surprise, "A charity gala?"

"Is it okay if I go with them?"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ronan waved his hand magnanimously: "This banquet is divided into an outer area and an inner area. The truly important figures are all in the inner area. We'll just have a meal in the outer area and broaden our horizons."

Upon hearing this, Xia En was genuinely tempted.

The big meal was secondary.

Although he was malnourished, he wouldn't go to such lengths for a single meal.

The main reason is that at a dinner like this, one might encounter extraordinary individuals who follow other principles.

Acquiring Soul Points ahead of time is equivalent to accelerating his development process.

Worth a try!

"Let's go together then."

Xia En patted his friend with the messy hair on the shoulder.

"Ronan, thanks."

"Why all this sentimentality? Let me make this clear first, I don't like men!"

"Get lost!"

We experienced this little incident.

Shane returned to the office.

Aurora cleared a clean table for him and placed it against the wall.

So, in that sense, he can be considered someone who has his own desk!

There were four or five sculptures on the table at that moment.

There are also several oil paintings nearby.

This is a relatively "safe" piece that Ara selected, saying it could be lent to Shane for copying and imitation.

Shaun's gaze swept over the sculpture.

Only one of the bronze human figures can be interpreted.

It is obvious that not every piece in this office is a "mystical artwork".

[Progress of the analysis: 0.1%...0.3%...]

I stared at the sculpture for a while.

The progress bar is rising very slowly.

This is probably because Shane did not have any knowledge about sculpture.

After comparing the progress of several artworks, he looked at an oil painting.

The painting depicts a calm and deep lake.

The deep lake water seemed to be able to suck one's soul into it.

As Xia En gazed at the painting, his heart calmed down involuntarily, the ripples in his heart being smoothed by an invisible hand.

Rationality: 0

(-10%……-7%……-5%……)

His rationality gradually returned as he observed!

Xia En had a feeling.

This painting is what Aurora wanted him to see!

Although he didn't understand the specific principles, Xia En wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

[Progress of the analysis: 3%...5%...]

Time passed silently, and the progress bar steadily climbed upwards.
