Chapter 71 The Unlucky John Aiden
Chapter 71 The Unlucky John Eden
"No, no, the get out of class is over, students. If you continue, the dean might come to trouble you..."
Having completed his task, Aiwass smiled and waved his hand with a light heart, turning off the speaker.
And the students groaned again.
"Why is it over!"
"Will you come to talk next time, Aiwass?"
"You have to ask the professor about this!"
"Professor, why do you only take such a small hourglass today!"
"That's right, didn't you take an hour and a half last time?"
...Ah? And my business?
Hearing this, Professor Budd was stunned.
He suddenly widened his eyes, like a stage actor, shrinking his neck in a funny way, spreading his hands, making the students laugh. Seeing this, the old professor himself laughed.
"Okay, keep your word. I'll give you an hour and a half next time!"
The old professor rubbed his hands and said happily.
Because he said this without turning on the loudspeaker, only Aiwas, Lily and Haina beside him heard it in the noisy lecture hall.
Haina smiled awkwardly and scratched her head, not knowing what to say.
Aiwas' eyes lit up.
Professor Bard's reaction was very important!
Based on this reaction, he probably understood Professor Bard's character.
Since the students dared to joke with him, it means that he probably has a very mild temper; and since that is the case, his class is so boring, but when Aiwas entered the door, no one whispered, skipped class or ate, which shows that the students still respect this old professor.
Haina's attitude towards him was also very natural and respectful - she probably didn't have the brain and acting skills to pretend, so Professor Bard's character was probably really good.
Aiwas just deliberately talked about some knowledge that did not belong to this course, but the professor didn't react.
This shows that he is not the kind of old-fashioned person who is most common in Avalon and likes to talk about rules and hierarchy in everything.
There is no doubt that he can become a high-quality mentor.
This is Aiwas's second goal: to show his excellence and find a good tutor for himself.
Now it seems that this second goal can also be achieved by the way!
At the Royal Law University, students have to choose a tutor of their own and join a "class". Otherwise, they can only be regarded as auditors and cannot get the note approved by the tutor to go to some places.
This tutor must teach him a certain course, and after joining the class, the student's daily life is generally taken care of by this tutor. Students who belong to a professor can be regarded as a class.
There are usually not too many students in a class, and they are not necessarily in the same grade.
Before, Aiwas also planned to join the class where senior sister Haina or Princess Isabel was... But he just thought about it. With their personalities, most of the tutors they find are professional tutors, and they will definitely not teach him.
And in that case, maybe his actions will be watched.
But Aiwas was not sure who in this school was his adoptive father's people, so he was very cautious.
Professor Bard can be called "professor", which means he is the highest-level mentor, at the same level as his adoptive father James Moriarty. He has the highest authority and can approve the highest authority. Aiwass heard it clearly before... He knew the next day that he had been to the Silver and Tin Palace for a banquet last night, which means that he is also considered an upper-class person in Avalon, at least he has a wide network of contacts.
Good personality, good character, open-minded, sufficient resources, and wide network of contacts.
The most important thing is that Professor Bard is not a superhuman yet - this is very important to Aiwass.
Because Aiwass does not need a mentor to plan a promotion route for him, an ordinary mentor can make his actions more free.
—— Considering this, he is the perfect mentor!
"Goodbye, professor!"
Suddenly, a little girl with silver hair ran over and smiled coquettishly: "And Teacher Aiwass!"
Aiwass waved his hand, just chuckled but did not answer.
But starting from her, it seemed as if a switch was turned on.
Other students also ran over one after another, smiling and saying goodbye to Aiwass.
"Are you free tonight, Aiwass?"
A cheerful young man with red hair came over and invited enthusiastically: "Want to have a drink? I'll treat you!"
"--Or do you want to go to the White Shoes Club?"
A girl with long dark blue hair came over and smiled: "May I have the honor of inviting Mr. Aiwass?"
"Do you play tennis, Aiwass?"
"I heard that Aiwass used to be on the cricket team!"
After a while, all the students came up. They easily accepted the setting of "a very powerful mysterious transfer student" in the class, and were full of curiosity and enthusiasm, actively wanting to become friends with Aiwass-although Aiwass was not a transfer student strictly speaking.
Aiwas handled the conversation with everyone in an orderly manner, but basically the result was the same-that is, to refuse first, but not to say the end. He did not specifically answer someone's question, and soon there were many people on the podium.
But Professor Bud did not take the opportunity to leave, but stood behind and waited. Haina did not dare to leave, so she stayed by the side and watched.
--This feeling is quite novel.
This was the first time she had seen a crowd so close to her, but they were not here to find her. Apart from the novelty, I also feel a little empty inside...
Although I usually find it a bit troublesome, suddenly no one cares about me and I feel a bit lonely...
When someone asked, "Do you always read at home?" and "How do you know so much history?" Aiwass just smiled and said nothing.
"--Yes."
But at this moment, Lily behind him couldn't help but show off for him. She proudly raised her head and chest, and replied seriously: "Aiwass read a lot of books when he was at home!"
"……at home?"
Hearing someone questioning this softly, Lily suddenly realized that she might have said something she shouldn't have said.
Will she continue to hide her identity...?
"Ah, that's right."
Under people's surprised looks, Aiwass smiled and explained: "Actually, Lily is my personal maid.
"Of course, she is also qualified to go to school here. She always likes to read at home, just like me. It was me who had an accident and delayed her...otherwise we would have come together two months ago."
That was a white lie he sent out to protect Lily.
not like this--
Lily, who was fully aware that she was able to go to school only because of Aivasto's relationship, subconsciously pursed her lips - because if not, she would have to defend Aiwassto.
It wasn't that Aiwass had delayed her. She herself is incidental.
This is completely Aiwass devaluing himself for her...
But what Lily didn't expect was that she revealed her identity as a maid on the first day of school, but the imaginable doubts and contempt did not come.
What surprised her was that the students' attitudes were very friendly and not aggressive at all.
"It's okay. In fact, I already guessed it."
"That is to say, how can any friend have such an attitude... It's just that everyone deliberately doesn't mention it."
"Is your name Lily? You are so beautiful! Do you want to dance tonight?"
"Do you usually read books together?"
These students who are adaptable to the path of dedication are relatively gentle and kind-hearted. Among the six departments, they also have the best average personality.
Seeing that she was so easily accepted by her classmates, Lily felt her eyes become moist for a moment.
She never thought that she, who was abandoned by her biological parents and had her last name erased, would one day be lucky enough to come into contact with these friendly classmates...
This is entirely because of Master Aiwas's kindness to her!
"Ai, Aiwass, long time no see!"
At this moment, Aiden, who had brown curly hair that almost covered his eyes, finally squeezed over, said hello to Aiwass, and whispered: "I'll see you when I have something to do... I'll go outside first. Wait for you!"
"Long time no see, Aiden."
Aiwass was not surprised, he just smiled and nodded at him and said, "See you later."
He did remember this person and even looked for him specifically during the lecture.
This man is called "John Aiden" and he is a relatively important supporting character. At least he lived longer...much longer than Haina.
Maybe it's because idiots live a long time, and he wasn't even dead when Aiwass burped.
The reason why Aiwass calls him Aiden instead of John is not because of alienation. It's because there are too many people named "John" in Avalon. Among the more than twenty boys in their middle school class, there are eight Johns, and there are even two with the same name.
Aiden has a very important long-term mission. It involves the return of the Moon Child, and it even integrates into the main plot later.
And "Aiwass" also has him in his own memory - this is one of the few same-sex friends that Aiwass had in middle school. He can't be called a childhood friend, but he can be regarded as an acquaintance.
In Aiwass's impression, Aiden is a friend with a good personality. Perhaps because his mother was a pastor, he was taught to be gentle and kind to others since he was a child. His father was an antique dealer, but his business was not very big. But it can barely be considered a small fortune.
Even though his pocket money is not particularly large, little Aiden is very loyal and always likes to take the initiative to treat guests. Moreover, he has a gentle personality and always apologizes when he quarrels with others. The only shortcomings are that he is not very smart and he is a bit lustful... To put it simply, he is an easy catcher.
In addition, he is unlucky and has a bad eye for people, so he always meets bad women. Every time a bad woman blows up all the gold coins, she usually gets kicked again. He was sad for a while, and then he was seduced by the next bad woman.
Players jokingly call him the "bad girl trap", so much so that he has even developed a plot inertia - every time he sees Aiden rushing over and excitedly saying "I'm in love again", I know him right away without even looking. It's definitely not a good thing.
...Looking at how he looks now, he must have been targeted.
Aiwass's special response, which was obviously different from others, made others look at Aiden, who was usually unremarkable, in surprise.
But they soon reacted: "Were you and Aiwass classmates before?"
"Ah...yes." Aiden responded in a low voice as he was not used to being stared at by so many people.
"Then bring him here for a drink, Aiden!"
"Invite him to play..."
"Do you know what flowers he likes, Aiden-san?"
"...Ah, wait, wait, wait... let me ask, let me ask..."
It was the first time for Aiden to talk to so many people at the same time, and he felt his scalp tingling for a moment.
He quickly squatted down and rubbed against Aiwass, then asked uncertainly in a low voice: "Can I tell them about you, Aiwass? Is there anything I can't tell them?"
"Yes," Aiwass nodded and smiled, "You can tell them anything.
"I'd rather ask you to talk to them for me... I have something to say to the professor."
He believed in Aiden's character and would definitely not discredit him.
"Ah, no problem. "
Hearing that Aiwas wanted to ask him to do something, he nodded readily.
The classmates also heard that Aiwas was busy, so they knew not to disturb him, but turned to chat with Aiden.
After all, no matter how inconspicuous Aiden was, they were all young people who were dedicated to the path of cultivation, had similar personalities, and had been acquaintances for two months. Even the most enthusiastic people are always more comfortable dealing with acquaintances. If you just want to ask some questions to satisfy your curiosity or invite him to play, it is more convenient and more polite to find Aiden - a middleman is always needed to invite him to a banquet.
After most of the students left, Aiwas had time to turn around and politely asked the professor:
"Professor Bud... are you still short of students?"
