Chapter 576
Chapter 576: Chapter 3: We’re Already Late, Might as Well Skip Class_3 Chapter 576: Chapter 3: We’re Already Late, Might as Well Skip Class_3 It wasn’t because Yanis was a bad teacher, it was that Yanis was the kind of “mentor” who only laid the foundation for students, cultivated learning habits, taught learning methods, and general principles – the sort of “teach a person to fish” type.
She indeed taught true “Inner Strength”, but the effects were not immediately apparent.
It was a common issue among the Longevity Species.
She always assumed that her student, Isabel, would be able to endure loneliness, quiet her mind, so she decided on each matter from a perspective of infinite foresight – fortunately, Isabel was exactly like that.
Aiwass was the complete opposite.
He was the type of “Counselor” who would offer different solutions to different problems directly.
If Isabel didn’t proactively ask questions or make requests, he wouldn’t interfere with her self-study rhythm; but if Isabel had doubts, he would provide careful guidance, repeatedly drill her until the issue was fully resolved.
Isabel also enjoyed the process of one-on-one instruction with Aiwass.
To her, learning wasn’t a source of pressure or torture, but rather a relaxation.
When Aiwass focused all his attention and energy on her, seriously calculating, thinking, and offering advice, Isabel felt an unprecedented peace in her heart.
It was like walking through the forest on a clear morning after a heavy rain… enjoying that sense of comfort as the world seemed to slow down and the sky cleared.
Isabel also wasn’t the kind of girl who would pretend she didn’t understand something when she did, nor was she a student who would daydream and not listen to Aiwass’s lesson.
In such a focused and relaxed state of learning…
Aiwass took just one month to single-handedly cultivate himself a top-tier assistant!
Today was February 12, and the full moon ceremony was just a few days away.
After their departure, it was uncertain if they would be able to team up again – even if Sherlock could accompany Aiwass to the Holy Nation as a subordinate from the Department of Care of Magical Creatures, Isabel certainly wouldn’t be able to advance with them.
Being Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures from Avalon, Aiwass couldn’t possibly go to the Holy Nation as a college student.
His status in Avalon was too high… This trip to the Holy Nation would have to be under the guise of a visit, exchange, and learning opportunity, following formal diplomatic channels.
This was also Avalon’s response to the Holy Nation’s friendly gestures.
Essentially, Aiwass was going to visit the Eternal Pope on behalf of the queen… in a sense, he was the ambassador Avalon was sending to the Holy Nation.
He could also serve as a guarantee of peace, a proof of friendship, a high-profile hostage, and a deterrent to the Star Antimony people – if the Star Antimony really were to make a desperate move against Avalon, Aiwass in the Holy Nation could serve an elemental shock factor.
He couldn’t just come and go as he pleased.
At least, he couldn’t come back openly.
Therefore, Aiwass planned to advance to the Fourth Power Level with Isabel before leaving Avalon.
… A top-tier assistant that he had taught himself, he couldn’t just let her go solo without even doing a duo session!
After this promotion ceremony, they would probably both need to settle into the Fourth Power Level for a while.
Once both had digested enough, Aiwass might return… by then, they could advance to the Fifth Power Level together.
Although teaming up with too many people might result in penalty by absence from the ceremony, it was still better to form a trio if possible.
If everyone else was forming teams and you weren’t, wouldn’t that be a pure loss?
Perhaps that’s precisely how the original timeline’s Meg met her demise – other nations could muster several Transcendents from different Paths advancing from Fifth to Sixth, but Avalon only had the Path of Authority, so Meg couldn’t find reliable teammates.
And not to mention…
the difficulty of the promotion ceremony from Third to Fourth was beginning to increase.
Even during the full moon ceremony, failure and death could lead to a death penalty.
Actually, Aiwass should have gone to the Holy Nation a long time ago.
At least he should have gone last month.
According to normal diplomatic protocol, Avalon should have sent the queen’s trusted envoy over immediately after the war began.
But Aiwass, on one hand, couldn’t leave Avalon behind and on the other, he couldn’t leave Isabel either, so he just kept dragging his feet.@@novelbin@@
… Luckily, after throwing his fit, the Eternal Pope went back to sleep within a couple of days.
Since he didn’t arrive immediately, it was already considered a breach of etiquette… the next time the Eternal Pope woke up, an apology would be due no matter what.
So Aiwass wasn’t in a rush all of a sudden.
Then why not pull Sherlock and Isabel up to a promotion before leaving!
Aiwass gave voice to the sentiment, “Since I’m already late, I might as well skip class altogether.”
What do you think?
