Chapter 52: The Stargazing Room
Actually.
Han Dong's name was indeed on the "excellent file" list.
However, this person in charge was hesitant to read it out because he had received a temporary notice asking him not to read out the name of Nicholas Valen.
The reason for this is unknown at the moment.
At that moment, another female teacher wearing a beak mask spoke.
"The mentor selection will now begin with the students in the "Qualifying Stall", in the order of their names just given... Also, Nicholas Valen.
There are certain problems with your test, come with me."
"Problems?"
The trainee knights present had thought that Han Dong, like the other two students in the 'excellent stall', belonged to the gifted ones who passed the test without injury.
Now, it seemed that it was possible that they had 'opportunistically' passed the test, and thus were taken away to be re-evaluated.
Immediately, someone started talking, "I told you, this person dressed in a way that looks like he's from a commoner's area, so how could he pass the single-person test intact."
"Being taken straight away like this, there's a good chance that he won't even get a chance to test."
"Being able to opportunistically pass the test is a skill, isn't it? At least we can't think of a way to take advantage of it."
The trainee knights each had their own opinions on Han Dong's departure.
The short-haired girl who was proficient in herbalism smiled as she looked at Han Dong's departing back, as if she had a different opinion.
........
The one leading Han Dong away was a female teacher.
Wearing a beak mask, a navel-baring corset and a long, light skirt, she wore all kinds of metal jewelry on her hands.
Judging from the delicate skin that was exposed, she was not very old.
Emerging from the conference room, she took a special elevator bearing the mark of the stars, heading higher up the tower.
"Nicholas Valen, 'excellent grade', overall rating of 95...the best student in this term.
Do you know why you were allowed to come out alone and not participate in the 'Mentor Public Election'?"
"Not sure."
"When I was about to read out your name just now, Mr. Black and White suddenly made a special request to our group of teachers, asking me to bring you to the [Stargazing Room], which is Mr. Black and White's private office."
"Mr. Black and White is looking for me?"
"Take your chance...there have been times when people who scored better than you in a test couldn't enjoy such treatment.
In Mr. Black and White's eyes, trainee knights are still nestlings who can't fully fly on their own, and he doesn't like to touch them very much...you are one of the very few exceptions."
"Thank you."
As the elevator arrived, a passage made of sparkling starlight glass was displayed in front of Han Dong.
The teacher leading the way lowered his head, his beak crossing Han Dong's cheek, and whispered in Han Dong's ear.
"Somewhat strangely, Mr. Black and White has asked me to go with you to the [Stargazing Room] ... You must pay attention to basic etiquette issues later. Mr. Black and White's temperament changes unpredictably."
"Mm."
Han Dong wasn't nervous.
To be honest, he had had a similar experience.
Studying abroad, he was given a very high evaluation when he was interviewing for a doctoral degree at the University of Florence.
At that time, the dean of the Academy of Life Sciences had asked to meet with Han Dong alone after the interview, and considered allowing Han Dong, an international student, to stay directly in his research group for his cell-oriented research.
Currently the same situation, Han Dong needed to meet with the dean of the Mysticism Department.
The door at the end of the glass corridor had a sketch of the twelve signs of astrology printed on it... The door was about five meters high, and it didn't look like it was meant for humans.
The female teacher seemed to have received permission to pass from Mr. Black and White, and braced her hands on the door, and with a pale green power attached, the door was easily pushed open by her alone.
"Plague..."
When Han Dong saw this female teacher's abilities, he seemed to understand the reason why Mr. Black and White had called him here along with this teacher.
When she pushed open the door, he actually had the wonderful feeling of stepping into the galaxy.
The materials used for the floor and walls were both made of a kind of flowing stone.
The inner floor had dots similar to stars flowing slowly, and the hemispherical room created a wonderful feeling of the deep space of the universe.
Half of the room was occupied by a giant astronomical telescope.
A black-haired man in white robes was sitting under the telescope, looking at the stars.
"Mr. Black and White, as you commanded! I've brought this trainee knight to you... The 'Mentor Public Election' is still going on, and there are quite a few good candidates in this term, so if I don't go over there, they might get snatched up by other teachers."
The female teacher was still very concerned about the student section of things.
Her title was still just 'lecturer', she inherently lacked the competitiveness with professors, and desperately needed to recruit gifted students to do her work for her.
"Well...Pasha, there's no need to worry about the students, I'll arrange it. Sit down..."
"Pasha!?" Han Dong was stunned, the Middle Eastern girl he had encountered before through the Dark Moon Forest was also called by that name.
As soon as Mr. Black and White got up, the room, which was originally like a starry river, instantly changed.
The stars closed in, transforming into a room with a strong European aristocratic atmosphere.
Shielding the astronomical telescope, the
The hemispherical room is reduced to a normal rectangular room.
The animal skin sofa, the kerosene lamp, the black iron fireplace.
It wasn't just a matter of optical refraction, everything in the room was real. Han Dong was completely incomprehensible to such a change of scene.
The female teacher named Pasha on the side seemed to be used to it already, and since Mr. Black and White had said so, she could only stay here.
Pasha and Han Dong sat together on the animal skin sofa, taking off the beak mask on her face.
The healthy wheat-colored skin, the
Shoulder-length black hair.
Applied with a light black eye-shadow.
Tall nose, with three gold nose rings and slightly elevated cheekbones, an unusual beauty.
Such an image once again reminded Han Dong of the Middle Eastern girl who teamed up with him in the Dark Moon Forest...exactly how it looked as an adult.
"So hard that... this was all arranged by Mr. Black and White?" Han Dong didn't dare to speculate, and the result would be known immediately.
Mr. Black and White approached the two of them head-on, sitting on a single leather chair.
Mr. Black and White wore a black smiley face mask that made it impossible to see his face.
"Pasha, you haven't seen this boy's testing process, have you?" Beneath the mask, a double overlapping sound came out, majestic yet elegant and magnetic.
"Basically, from the data, defeating sutures head-on, eliminating 'interfering items', passing the test in a short period of time, and having a heart in line with occult values... received a superior rating of 95."
"It's more than that, take a look at the video."
Mr. Black and White pulled out a crystal ball from his sleeve and recorded the entire test inside.
Lecturer Pasha was highly surprised when she saw the grizzled little girl and had to reach out and touch the scar on her ankle.
