When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 895: Chapter 268: Professor Laximi and the Blood Coral_2

“Because if I tell you everything, you will inevitably blurt it out.”

Paul answered calmly, “That’s why the professor specifically instructed me not to tell you about the experiment, because he doesn’t want you to become our ‘Dissection Teaching Assistant.'”

He looked at the youth with grey hair scratching his head, awkwardly nodding in agreement, while Paul helplessly shook his head slightly.

You should deny it…

“——Dissection Teaching Assistant?”

Aleister straightened up with interest, curiously asking, “What is that?”

“In the Spirit Summoning Tower, a ‘Teaching Assistant’ is actually a type of teaching tool. Usually, it is used as a punishment by professors for students who fail to submit their homework. Since Necromancy is typically used on the deceased who cannot speak, if a living person can withstand Necromancy and provide feedback, it allows other students to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of Necromancy.”

Paul explained, “Regarding dissection… it’s basically dissecting oneself completely under the supervision of a professor. During this process, one must continuously explain each part to other students… Of course, the professors will eventually patch the students back together. However, I have heard of some fools who have dissected themselves to death — the professor in question had a venomous personality, his scolding caused the student to panic, not knowing how to proceed, and he ended up killing himself on the spot.

“Among the ‘top ten unluckiest’ who died last year, his death was the most foolish.”

“I’m not afraid of pain…”

Dimitri emphasized this point first, seeming not wanting Aleister to look down on him.

Then he chuckled foolishly, saying with a laugh, “But I have completely forgotten last semester’s lessons!”

…I don’t know what he’s so happy about.

Paul sighed helplessly.

He and Dimitri were peers. It’s just that their previous life environments were completely different.

Although Dimitri was also a second ability level Transcendent… his profession was the commonly seen “thief” in the streets and alleys.

His most proficient skills were theft, stealth, and lockpicking — the reason he knew Paul, an outstanding student, was because of a burglary when Paul was also trying to steal something but clumsily almost got caught.

As a Necromancer from the Path of Dusk, Dimitri has not even reached the First Level yet. However, he is outgoing and as a second ability level Transcendent of the Path of Adaptation, he is very agile, and his strength is also greater than most Necromancers. Thus, he was also taken away by his mentor as a laborer — usually being in charge of cleaning and moving things.

Unlike Dimitri, Paul is a second ability level Deceit Master from the Path of Love — if it wasn’t for his master continuously absorbing his blood essence, preventing him from advancing prematurely, Paul would have already stepped into the Third Level.

Because before he came into contact with Necromancy, he had already reached the limit of the second ability level of the Path of Love.

That was three years ago.

Undoubtedly, his master does not only treat him as a blood pack to cultivate — not just teaching him the common knowledge of the nobility, cultivating his various abilities, teaching him all kinds of knowledge…

This is because, as a Transcendent of the Path of Love, Paul himself has the potential to be transformed into the Path of Love.

And in order to independently complete the transformation, Paul’s energy level must be lower than his master.

She hopes Paul can be transformed at the age of twenty, full of youthful vitality, thus she permitted him to attend school — if he had advanced to the Third Level at the age of fourteen, there indeed would have been a good chance to reach the Fourth Level before turning twenty.

——In that case, Paul could not become her “son” but would only be her “brother”.

And in these three years of studying at the Spirit Summoning Tower, Paul became a second ability level Necromancer.

Given his age, not yet eighteen, he is considered exceptionally talented.

Paul’s current mentor, Professor Laximi, managed to acquire Paul from his master for this reason — since he could not progress further on the Path of Love, it might be worth exploring the Path of Dusk.

Since Aleister asked him to say everything he should say, he did not hide, sharing all these things with both Aleister and Dimitri.

Just in time, Dimitri definitely had many doubts in his mind. It might as well take this opportunity to resolve them for him.

Normally, due to his master’s command, he could not reveal his identity to others — yet his master also had another command, which was to surrender directly when encountering an irresistible enemy.

If the opponent wanted to know something, answer them; if the opponent wanted something, give it to them. Try to show goodwill to powerful enemies as much as possible, absolutely do not engage in any form of confrontation — even if the opponent asks for information about his own situation, give it to them.

“…She is indeed an interesting lady.”

Aleister’s lips curved slightly upwards.

She has not seen such a discerning enemy in Avalon.

She has seen those who instructed their subordinates to fight enemies to the death, those who commanded their subordinates to keep absolute secrecy, or to never betray… but this was the first time seeing this kind of “surrender immediately when you see an enemy stronger than you, can betray at any time” creed.

But this can also be considered a form of Wisdom.

For Transcendents of the Path of Love with strong desires, not stubbornly dying for pride’s sake could effectively avoid provoking those they cannot afford to offend.

So Aleister asked further, “Then if I were to ask you… about her weaknesses, would you also tell me directly?”
