Kuli said frankly that Rogers could make any request regarding college life, and he would try his best to meet it, even if it meant building a new dormitory specifically for Rogers.
Alana was more direct, saying that Rogers could live with her, so that she could receive full-scale private tutoring at all times.
However, the constant visits of deans and professors disrupted their statements, and with Idrul's hasty appearance, Rogers' dormitory was instantly plunged into the noise of disputes.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Elina pulled Lufia back to their cabin early.
"Excuse me, how is it possible to establish a new college in Saint Hert?"
Rogers looked at the professors who were in increasingly intense conflict around him and asked this question after thinking about it.
Chapter 4 It's the season of revival again (4k)
There was a moment of silence in the dormitory, as if time was frozen in this moment of tranquility.
Then Kuli looked at Rogers' serious expression and gave a general explanation without caring about the expressions of the other professors:
"First, you must obtain the qualification of a Saint Herte Fellow, then serve as a teaching assistant to gain some teaching experience, and then gradually become a formal lecturer, tutor, or even a professor's assistant. Only then can you be considered qualified to coordinate some of the affairs of the college.
“After that, becoming an associate professor, a professor, or even the dean of academic affairs is a necessary process. Without the experience gained in these positions, you will not be able to run a college.
"And these are just the most basic criteria for you to become the dean. If you want to establish a school, you need more conditions beyond these."
Rogers looked grateful and thought about these requests seriously. It was not just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but he really had such thoughts.
If he tried to establish an academic community in the magical world as he had previously envisioned, he would have to gain a sufficiently influential identity in the magical world.
Although he already had the honorific title of "Little Sage", during the discussions with magicians from many schools during the holidays, it was obvious that the other party only gave him respect in terms of reputation, and nothing more.
The right to speak requires not only basic strength, but also corresponding power and even the endorsement and recognition of a certain party, and the behemoth Saint Herte seems extremely suitable.
It turns out that being obsessed with becoming the chief of the academy is too narrow-minded. I should seek more valuable things here.
“To become a researcher, you need the recommendation of at least one associate professor and must pass many assessments. However, as the dean of the college, I can make the recommendation directly, and the assessment process will also save a lot of messy steps.
"My child, you have already achieved many amazing academic results. You can directly serve as my research assistant, and then I will help you become a researcher. After that, as long as we continue to produce more achievements, you will definitely be able to reach the position of professor.
"And if we can form a complete academic faction, then it is not impossible to establish a college or something." Alana saw what Rogers was thinking and extended an olive branch before anyone else.
Saint Herte had not built a new academy for hundreds of years. Although she felt that with Logos' future achievements, he might be able to accomplish this feat, it was too unrealistic for the fourteen-year-old Logos.
After all, although Rogers opened the door to linguistics, it was only the beginning. Without long-term accumulation, how could a complete academic faction be established?
No matter how talented this child is, unless he already has a complete system now, this is something he can only really start to consider after he becomes an adult.
But these did not prevent Alana from using this to show her sincerity and win him over. No matter how smart Rogers was, he was just a child after all, and she felt that she had to coax him in the end.
The other professors immediately understood Alana's intention and immediately followed suit with their own promises.
Because the identity of a dean is destined to provide more conveniences than that of an ordinary professor, the big promises drawn by many professors for competition have become increasingly outrageous, and have been constantly explained and refuted by the deans.
“Dear distinguished deans, integrity is the lifeblood of a person, the foundation of all values, and the noblest thing I can maintain.
"I have already told Professor Idrul that I will stay at Hilmi College. If I choose another college at this time, it will be a breach of trust on my part."
Rogers leaned forward, touching his chest, and spoke sincerely, words that would sound familiar to many deans.
The other professors who heard these words for the first time also paused, and their eyes turned towards Rogers with increasingly fiery intent.
Just now they had all heard how excellent the prices offered by the deans of various colleges were to invite Rogers to their colleges, but this child would rather lose his position as the chief than refuse so decisively.
This shows how trustworthy and loyal Rogers is, which also strengthened the professors' determination to invest.
Idrull, who was squeezed into a corner by the professors, stared at Rogers in a daze. His eyes gradually brightened, and a look of emotion appeared in his eyes. He slightly opened his lips as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed them silently.
In the end, Rogers did not agree to become a research assistant to any dean. After many professors promised to jointly recommend him, the deans could no longer induce or coax Rogers into making a choice.
"Even if you are an ordinary student, as long as you can get the cooperation of your classmates, you can continue to exercise your authority as the chief. I will not care about this kind of violation of the rules. If you are held accountable by the school, I will also try my best to help you prevent it."
When the professors gradually dispersed, Idrul touched Rogers' shoulder and expressed his promise in a serious and firm tone.
"Thank you, professor. I will remember your kindness." Rogers bowed his head to express his gratitude. He had already thought of this when he said that he was willing to stay in Hilmi College, but with the promise of Dean Idrul, it would be more guaranteed.
Until all the professors left, he stretched hard, his mind circling with ideas on how to quickly get promoted.
If we directly quote the "Course in General Linguistics", it will inevitably cause a lot of speculation and doubts. After all, this book is a foundational classic created by Saussure's colleagues and students, which sorted out the long-term achievements of this master.
Rogers can expound many ideas in a fragmented manner, but if he were to produce a foundational work all at once, it would be a bit too subtle. Moreover, many examples in the book come from previous lives and cannot be perfectly integrated with this world, so it needs more polishing.
But if he follows the routine, it seems a bit too long. As the plot gets more and more out of control, he doesn't know what kind of hidden dangers will appear in the future. He must quickly accumulate something other than his own strength as a hand card to be prepared.
Speaking of strength, he felt that he should go to the library to find some relevant books to borrow.
Detection magic must be learned as soon as possible, and there must be more types of attack methods.
The reason why he did not ask his family for help when he was at home was to use Saint Herta's better resources to lay a more solid foundation.
Of course, the most important thing is physical fitness.
Rogers felt that his physique was outstanding among magicians of the same age, but when he fought against the little disaster host in Benedictine Monastery, he seemed a little inferior compared with Alice, Elina and Lius.
When he was chewing the apple left by Idrul and was about to go out, there was a knock on the door. After he opened the door, the figure of Lius came into view.
"Good afternoon, could you please take me to visit Saint Herte?" Lius, still wearing the priestly robe wrapped diagonally, greeted.
"Sure, I'm going to the library, let's go together." Rogers closed the door and nodded slightly, then took a look at the other person's mental state and asked, "You look much better. Where is the priestess who has been following you?"
"She is helping me deal with many research-related procedures." Lius replied with a complicated expression.
Rogers paused for a moment, patted Lius on the shoulder twice, and said nothing more.
He could probably figure out some things. After Rhea was blessed by the Lord of Feast and enjoyed the favor of Lius, it would be impossible for her to forget it. But she probably didn't want to seek the gift of the evil god and try to regain his favor with her own abilities. She would probably do many things that would make Lius feel entangled.
Along the way, Lius was curiously observing the various styles of wooden houses in the dormitory area of Hilmi College, and wondering why the students on the road always looked at him from afar with pity in their eyes.
Could it be that in the eyes of magicians, priests have become beings that need pity?
This kind of look seemed to have appeared when he asked about Roger's residence, and it was even more obvious now.
As he walked, he looked back along the road and soon spotted Erina and Lufia following far behind him, as well as Alice who was close to them.
While he was wondering if the three girls were also going to the library and whether he needed to go up and say hello or something, he was impressed by how hard-working these magic apprentices were.
But seeing that Rogers was still walking, Lius didn't say anything more.
When he inquired about Rogers' situation in Saint Herta, he heard that many students had prejudices against Rogers. Maybe Rogers would avoid suspicion in the academy in order to avoid the stigma involving his friends. It might be a bit too rude for him to expose it rashly.
Soon, a large green lawn appeared in front of the two people, and in the middle of the lawn stood a towering tree that was so huge that dozens of people could not hug it and occupied a large part of the view.
"Derrick? What are you doing standing at the door?" Rogers asked in confusion when he saw Derick pacing back and forth beside the tree hole door.
"Hello, Chief!" Derek immediately greeted him by pounding his chest upon hearing the voice, and then told him that Eunice and Pasima had entered the library together, but he didn't know how to separate them, so he kept hesitating here.
"Be bolder! Can't you even do an open surveillance?" Rogers mercilessly criticized the other party's cowardice.
"But that's peeping..." Derek's face was full of confusion, and he looked like he didn't know what to do.
"Is this the motto you expounded? I didn't expect that the academy would actually erect a monument for you." Lius looked at the stone tablet next to the tree hole gate and exclaimed with some surprise.
"He is the second prince, Lius Augustus." Rogers first introduced Lius to Derek, and then pointed at Derek and Lius and said, "This guy is my classmate and good friend, and the son of the Marquis of the Southern Border, Derek Earle."
Derek quickly came back to his senses from his complicated thoughts and saluted Lius. Lius did not look at Derek's unusually fierce face for too long, but nodded in return.
"Let's go and see what's going on." Rogers put his arm around Derek's shoulder and pulled him into the tree hole.
Lius, holding a token in the shape of Saint Herte's coat of arms in his hand, also entered the Big Tree Library without any hindrance.
"As for emotional issues, I actually have a lot of insights." Lius listened to Derek's troubles and said sincerely, "I have also had some troubles in this area recently, but I think I have handled it pretty well."
"Is that so?" Derek was sandwiched between the two men, looking at the prince with half belief and half doubt.
"His opinions are like the burps of a fart spirit, although there is indeed a girl who often wants to gain his love recently." Rogers hugged Derek to reassure him: "But I am different from him. My title of 'Little Sage' is not in vain."
Derek looked at the confident Rogers on his left, then looked at Lius on his right who looked ready to offer advice at any time, and for no reason he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
First-year students' activities are mostly on the first and second floors of the library.
Under the dim light from the big tree, the three of them walked through the tall and quaint bookshelves and scanned the borrowing and reading areas on the first floor. When they did not find Eunice, they went up to the second floor through the spiral staircase.
Whether in the reading area or on the way, you can often meet pairs of students.
The age they are currently at is exactly the time in life when vitality is in full bloom. Coupled with the farewell of the holidays and the arrival of spring, the unique atmosphere of youth seems to be in the library with the revival of all things.
Just as the three were about to step into the reading area on the second floor, Lius reached out to stop the two people beside him and raised his finger to indicate in a direction.
Rogers subconsciously dragged the two of them behind a tall bookshelf to block the view from the reading area, and then leaned over to look at that area.
There were neatly arranged tables and chairs, and each table was equipped with a desktop oil lamp.
In addition to tables and chairs, there are many comfortable sofas and lounge chairs against the tree wall for students to take a break while reading.
At this moment, Eunice was sitting on the sofa with a young man with slightly curly brown-red hair and long, thick eyebrows.
They each had a thick, open book on their laps, but none of them were reading. Instead, they were whispering to each other.
Derek, who also leaned out, clenched his fists when he saw this, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.
"I can read lips, but this position is too remote and a bit far away." Lius said after thinking for a while.
"Then let's get closer." Rogers gave a low command and pressed Derek's shoulder at the same time: "Don't be impatient. Anger will only affect your judgment of the enemy. Besides, they are sitting one body length away from each other."
The three of them then leaned behind the bookshelf and moved towards where Eunice and Pasima were.
Just as he was walking, a book titled "Atlas of the Distribution of Succubus Races and Research on the Mental Characteristics of Their Various Tribes" appeared on the bookshelf in front of Rogers, and he took it out.
"It's so blasphemous... How can a book like this be displayed so openly?" Lius looked at the page that Rogers had opened, his face instantly flushed, and he stammered and rebuked.
"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy. Here, take a look at it too." Rogers ignored what Lius said, took out a book titled "How Nightmares Drain the Energy of Young Men from Dreams" and handed it to him.
When Lius took it with a complicated expression, there was a slight collision sound coming from behind the bookshelf not far from the three of them. Rogers glanced sideways and saw nothing unusual, so he continued to flip through the books and walked towards Eunice.
As he was walking, he bumped into the back of Lius who was reading with his head down. He looked up at the corner of the bookshelf in front of him in confusion.
The third prince Richard, Edith and Caspar were seen slowly poking their heads out from behind the bookshelf, looking in the direction of Eunice and Pasima.
Richard quickly noticed the gazes directed at him, and his eyes instantly shifted to Levi, who was leading the group, and to the book in Levi's hand.
And Lius was staring at his younger brother, and Caspar, who was lying behind his younger brother with a charming look on his face.
The two brothers looked at each other for a long time and fell into silence.
Chapter 4: The Poison of Rogers Begins to Spread (k)
[Information! The Lord of Feast casts his gaze upon you. He indicates that the silence at this moment is not the silence of the heart, but is filled with a broader and more orderly wonderful emotion.]
The prompt box that suddenly popped up in front of him made Rogers half-close his eyes subconsciously. He wondered if this god was still thinking about Caspar and came here? Or was it for something else...
"Richard, even if you leave the palace, you should pay attention to the dignity of the royal family, at least not in this kind of occasion..." Lius hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but give a kind warning.
The third prince's face stiffened when he heard this. He quickly stood up and used the force to push Caspar away.
He didn't expect that Caspar would suddenly lie on his back, and he didn't expect to meet his royal brother here.
When his eyes swept over Rogers and Derek behind Lius, he also spoke carefully:
"My brother has been in the Pantheon for a long time. I'm afraid he doesn't understand the complexity of the secular world. Be careful not to get tainted with bad habits and slide into depravity."
Lius lowered his head to look at the book in his hand and wanted to explain something, but considering his debt to Rogers, he silently closed his mouth.
Then there was silence again. The two brothers had hardly any communication from childhood to adulthood except for polite meetings. They had no idea what to say in such an awkward situation.
Caspar looked at Rogers, who killed his father, with a complicated expression on his face, and Edith, who had made a contract with Rogers, was also silent. Only Derek moved and saw Eunice and Pasima noticed the movement here. When they were about to get up and come over to check, he immediately fell into anxiety.
"Your Highness? And Luo... Chief of the Demon King's Court? What are you doing?" Pasima was the first to walk here, and was very surprised to see the people gathered together.
The open opposition between the East Territory and the royal family was a well-known fact in the aristocratic circle. He didn't understand why Rogers could walk with the two princes.
Rogers looked at the "Overview of Curse Extraction Techniques" held in one hand by Pasima, and the "General Explanation of Curses" held in both arms by Eunice, who was following closely behind.
Combining the Third Prince's obvious ignorance, the glance that the Lord of the Feast happened to cast at him, the fact that Eunice had gone hunting during the holidays, and the two books in front of him, he roughly deduced that this might be another premature outbreak of the plot.
Although it was still too early for the key props in this plot to be triggered, he still wanted to find an opportunity to remind Alice earlier.
"We are preparing to hold a seminar!" Derek saw Eunice's increasingly puzzled look, and when no one spoke, he made up an excuse for himself.
"Seminar?" Eunice glanced at the books in Rogers and Lius' hands, her expression suddenly became extremely puzzled, and she thought to herself that this might be what boys of this age would do.
Afterwards, since everyone had nothing in common, Eunice and Pasima said goodbye one after another, and the third prince took the initiative to invite Lius to the reading room, saying that there were some things between brothers that needed to be discussed.
Rogers looked at Caspar and Edis who were left behind by the third prince, smiled and gave them a few instructions, which meant that Caspar could privately publicize his affection for the third prince, and Edis, who was close to the third prince, also had to help.
Since the royal family likes rumors, he generously prepares to start with the third prince and slowly give back to the other party.
"Eunice and Pasima must have encountered a problem that is not convenient to be made public, and they are working together to find a solution. Eunice was not deceived.
