"Uh, listen to the bad stuff first?" Kent scratched his head and said, "I don't know how to put it. Otherwise, you should listen to the good stuff first."
"...Okay, then you should make your promise first."
"Okay, the good one is..." Kent was about to say it, but then felt that it didn't sound right, so he scolded, "Damn it, couldn't you have chosen the right one from the beginning? Now that you've gone around in circles, I don't think it's shocking anymore."
The young professor's mouth twitched violently.
Damn, this B person.
He used to think it was a bit pitiful that Kent was hung up on Abel's weeding operation all night, but now it seems that this guy really deserved it.
"Well, let me put it another way." Kent winked at the young professor. "Is that pamphlet I just handed out good looking?"
The pamphlet that was just distributed?
The young professor recalled for a moment, and then instantly understood the meaning of Kent's smile.
This is a meaning that all men understand.
"Hehehe..." The young professor was still young after all. He hadn't reached the state of no desires like the older professors. He still had desires and pursuits, so he said foolishly, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful. I've never seen anything so interesting. The author must be a genius."
"Yeah, you think so too, don't you?"
"Yes, it's impossible to write this kind of book without some skills...but why are you asking this?" The young professor was a little puzzled.
Kent said, "Oh," and said, "Because this book was written by Aesop."
The smile on the young professor's face gradually faded, replaced by shock... and fear.
Kent's conversation with the young professor was naturally heard by other professors.
As a result, the expressions of the other professors gradually became strange.
And Abel, who was sitting at the top, naturally saw it all. He slowly moved his body backwards, with his back against the back of the chair. This made him look more imposing, like a lion about to get angry, which made people feel scared... It would be better if they didn't know the reason for his anger.
"It's a simple matter." Abel said calmly, "Aesop has reached that final threshold and is now able to gather arcane energy. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a true arcanist."
This news surprised the professors present even more.
Aesop...was actually going to succeed?!
Has he really reached that final threshold?!
The people here had basically watched Aesop grow up, and they were very happy to know that Aesop had really achieved this. However, their joy did not last long before they heard Abel say in an extremely cold voice: "But, there is something wrong with his approach!"
Everyone looked at Abel.
Abel continued, "You've all read the book he wrote. This kid didn't embark on the path of chasing the stars as I hoped. On the contrary, what he pursued has become a little... off track."
This is more than just a little biased.
Are Xingchen and Naizi the same thing?
Why can't I go to a place like this?
The professors in the audience were complaining in their hearts but did not dare to say it out loud. They just thought that Abel still loved Aesop, and even now they were unwilling to say anything too harsh.
It's just... a little off.
Apart from being relatively round, are there any similarities between these two things?
Hiss, wait, Aesop seems to have specifically explained these two in "Aesop's Fables", and there is indeed another similarity.
That is... there is gravity.
Damn, this guy is really talented.
Some young professors couldn't help wanting to laugh, but they tried their best to hold it back.
If I laugh out loud at a time like this, my life would be coming to an end.
"I don't know what you're thinking. Some might think that as long as you become an arcanist, it doesn't matter what means you use..." Abel spoke slowly, his tone gradually becoming stern. "But I want to tell you clearly, this is impossible! I absolutely will not allow my disciples, my disciples who should be chasing the stars, to end up chasing after those two lumps of fat! If this kind of thing gets out, not only our Deya Academy, but where will the face of us humans be!"
When he got angry, Abel slammed the table in front of him.
Then, the table and the ground under it cracked in an instant, and the entire teaching building became shaky, but no one dared to run away.
"So, do you want to bring him back for reconstruction?" asked Edge, the most respected person present besides Abel.
Abel withdrew his hand and said slowly, "Not to mention rebuilding, but at least he must complete this final part of his journey under my watchful eye! Arcanists all have honorific names. I hope his honorific name is [Xingchen], not [Naizi] or [Oupai]!"
The professors present understood this point very well.
After all, Aesop, who will become an arcanist in the future, will definitely be Abel's successor and the new principal of Deya Academy.
That is, their future boss.
There probably aren't many people who would like their boss to be called "Oupai" in the future.
"So what should we do?" Aiqi asked. "Little Aesop has already stepped into that threshold. If you don't take action yourself, we won't have much to do with him."
Abel snorted coldly and said, "Just go find him without worry. He doesn't have much conventional magic left to use now, as most of his magic has been upgraded to arcane. But arcanists are aware of each other. Once he uses arcane magic, I will be able to sense his presence and be able to descend to a certain extent. He's not a true arcanist yet, so he has no way to resist me."
So, it seems that after Aesop became stronger, he is easier to catch than before.
If Aesop could not use arcane magic and could only use some conventional magic, many people present would still be able to catch him.
"I already know his last location, Aichi. This time you have to lead the team yourself and bring that brat back to me."
Aichi nodded. He didn't think Abel's behavior was impulsive, because any small matter would not be a small matter to Aesop.
But at this moment, Kent suddenly raised his hand and said: "I think just catching him back is not enough, principal. Think about it, Aesop will eventually become a real arcanist, even if you can suppress it now Him, when he becomes a real arcanist, can you still suppress him?"
Abel turned to look at Kent, his brows furrowed tightly. "What do you want to say?"
"I think we can't just provide physical care for little Aesop, we also need to provide psychological care," Kent said. "Let him know that there's nothing wrong with returning to the academy."
"So you're going to sell me that college reform of yours again?" Abel could already feel his temples throbbing. "I listened to you last time, but it didn't accomplish anything except more romances in the college! If you sell me a similar plan again, I'll make you swim the 200-meter freestyle in a miniskirt!"
Nine five zero one eight zero nine zero nine
Kent was so frightened by Abel's threat that he broke out in a cold sweat. He wiped his sweat and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, this time it's very reliable. It's not a special plan, it can't even be called a plan."
"If you say one more word of nonsense, I'll make you bald like last time."
"Well, I just thought, since little Aesop likes her so much, why not just find him a wife!" Kent didn't dare to say any more nonsense and blurted out his thoughts. "People outside say it's right, when you've had enough fun, just find an honest person to marry! In that case, why don't we just find an honest person for Aesop!"
Kent's suggestion made everyone present think.
Because this suggestion sounds... strangely reliable, at least much more reliable than the previous college reforms.
Even Abel began to wonder about the feasibility of this suggestion.
"I know you don't want to get married, but for little Aesop, marriage might not be a bad thing." Seeing that his suggestion had a chance of being accepted, Kent began to persuade him. "You know, little Aesop himself is a person with extraordinary talent. What if his descendants are also like that? You have trained little Aesop as an arcanist, but what if you can train a second and a third? If we can train five or six at once, our academy will take off."
If Abel was still a little hesitant before, he could no longer sit still after hearing the second half of Kent's promise.
Yeah, why didn't he think of it.
Aesop is not a simple arcanist. His talent is unseen in thousands of years, so his descendants are likely to possess the same talent.
In this case, as long as I find a few wives for Aesop, I can not only get Aesop back, but also very likely train a few more arcane mages. This is really... killing two birds with one stone.
"I think this suggestion is feasible." At this time, Aesop's only female mentor, the necromancer Sarah, said, "The dragon race will choose those of pure blood to reproduce, and we can do the same. Of course, we can even think more creatively and choose more outstanding women from other races. For example, I know several young undead..."
"Shut the fuck up, are there any young undead left? They die relatively late, don't they?" Kent said, pointing at Sarah. "The main reason Aesop ran away was because the only woman he could get close to before was a skeleton like you! So, when choosing a wife for Aesop, you should prioritize appearance... and breasts!"
At this time, Aiqi suggested: "What about the little royal princess from before? After committing that crime, she was afraid that we would really let her become a nightmare girl, so she hid in the palace and dared not come out. Since she is the first normal woman that little Aesop has seen, maybe Aesop will have more feelings for her?"
Abel nodded slightly: "Okay, go tell the king and let his daughter set off immediately. If Aesop doesn't like her, then I really want to throw her away as a dream girl."
Aiqi nodded: "That's fine. Then she alone?"
Abel thought for a moment and said, "I remember there are many talented and capable women. They should all have children. Let's see if they are girls. If so, let them marry Aesop."
Kent asked, "What if their mother doesn't want to?"
"Don't want to?" Abel raised his eyebrows, and then said angrily again, "Then let their mother go by herself!"
Goodbye, Stank
"You said Abel has discovered your approximate location through your arcane magic?!" Lysa was very surprised. "Will he come to find you?"
Aesop thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think it's possible. My teacher is quite traditional and may not agree with my pursuits and ideals."
"...I think you could remove the word 'not necessarily'," Lisa said. "I don't think anyone in their right mind would agree with you. And could you please not consider breasts an ideal? Even if you do, please don't say it out loud. Otherwise, I think your teacher might beat you to death with his temper."
Aesop gazed into the distance, shook his head, and said, "They definitely won't kill me, but they'll most likely take me back so that I can have a more normal life on my final journey as an arcanist."
"Will he come in person?" Lisa asked worriedly. "Probably not. After all, according to the post-war treaty, Abel can't leave the Kingdom of Deya."
"My teacher probably won't come in person," Aesop replied, "but he has many ways to project his power here, such as descending and summoning. So if someone else finds me, he'll have countless ways to take me back. I don't have the power to compete with him yet."
Hearing Aesop's words, Lisa felt a bit of gloating. She kept shaking herself and letting out a hoarse laugh. "I didn't expect that you would be afraid one day. It really is true that there is always someone who can conquer you. I can't wait to see you locked up in the dark room of the academy."
Aesop glanced at Lisa and said, "Even if I'm caught, I'll only be imprisoned for a while. Once I'm truly promoted to an arcanist, I'll be able to get out. But it's different for you."
"So what?" Lisa said disdainfully. "I'm imprisoned here anyway, and even if your teacher comes, I won't be free. What difference does it make to me where I'm imprisoned?"
"No, that's not what I said." Aesop shook his head, and then said seriously, "Given my teacher's personality, he will definitely think that I have gone astray. It's not my fault, but someone's definitely guiding me. So when he finds out that you are by my side, what do you think he will do?"
After hearing Aesop's words, Lisa's perky buttocks froze instantly.
But the more times like this, the more she didn't want to admit defeat to Aesop, so she bit the bullet... Oh no, Pipi said: "What can I do? I haven't broken any laws, and you sealed me away so long ago, how could I have influenced you? Even an arcanist needs to be reasonable."
Aesop said: "My teacher once taught me a truth about why people should become stronger."
"Hmm? That's a pretty philosophical question." Without giving it much thought, Ryza asked, "Why did that person become stronger?"
Aesop answered seriously: "Because it is possible to be unreasonable."
Lisa: “…”
"Hey, it's okay." Aesop sat up from the chair, then lay back on the bed, and said as he prepared to go to sleep, "The worst that can happen is death. You should have lived enough anyway."
"I haven't lived enough! I finally got out, how can I say I've lived enough?! Get up now!" Lisa yelled at Aesop, "If you sleep any longer, your teacher will come?!"
"Don't worry, it won't happen that quickly." Aesop closed his eyes and said, "Besides, I've already thought of a solution."
"Oh, really?" Seeing that Aesop had a plan, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief. "So what are you going to do?"
"We'll have to fight to the bitter end, and leave tomorrow morning," Aesop said, "so I have to conserve my energy tonight."
Lisa: “…”
You gave in too quickly, you bastard!
You ran away, what should I do? !
Lisa wanted to ask Aesop how he could sleep at this time. How could he still sleep at his age? But Aesop really fell asleep. No matter how hard she screamed, Aesop didn't respond at all. He just fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up slowly when the sun rose. Lisa was so scared that she didn't sleep the whole night because she was worried that Abel would really kill her after he came.
Look, even his buttocks are red.
As soon as he saw Aesop get up, he immediately yelled: "Aesop, you bastard! How do you want to run away? I tell you, no matter what, you must take me with you! Otherwise, you must also remove my seal! After all, we have slept in the same bed, you can't be so heartless..."
Before he could finish his words, Aesop left the room, isolating Lisa's shouting inside the room, and then came to the first floor of the food and wine pavilion alone.
The people lying all over the ground are certainly not corpses, but men who were celebrating last night and collapsed here after drinking all night and couldn't walk.
Aesop came down to say goodbye to Stank and the others.
Because he didn't want to go back to the academy, and there was a high probability that he had been targeted by teacher Abel, so at this time he had no choice but to run away.
He couldn't ask Stank, Jair and the others to run away with him, especially after he reached that threshold and was able to use arcane magic to a certain extent. His strength should have increased greatly, but because he was being watched by Abel, he didn't dare to use arcane magic, so his real strength weakened a little. At this time, he couldn't drag them along.
So, Aesop decided to leave alone.
But before leaving, I still have to say goodbye to Stank, Jair and the others.
If it was the same Aesop who had just left the academy, he would have definitely left alone by now. But now, he had friends like Stank, Jer, Ganchu, and Bruce, a group he had never had before. This made Aesop feel that he was not alone, and he still had to say goodbye to them.
After searching for a while, Aesop found Stank, who was also lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, in the crowd.
Aesop originally wanted to wake Stank up directly, but he felt that if that was the case, Stank might not let him leave and would definitely find ways to help him. But if he did that, he would implicate them.
Otherwise, just say goodbye silently, just like the last meeting between heroes in the books.
Aesop decided to do this, but then he felt that it would be inappropriate to leave like this, as he felt like something was missing.
Oh, a farewell gift.
