Did she feel like things were too easy?
Her level of ancient Sarai was not very high. The reason she wanted to study it was because Xia Yibing had shown off before, and she felt that learning it would be helpful in handling cases.
If we really talk about level, she feels that Xia Yibing is more qualified to be the teaching assistant than her.
"You should call me Dean now," Ferdinand corrected her.
"But Dean..." Hitzfeld took a deep breath again, "There's one thing I haven't explained yet."
"what's up?"
“I can only spare one day a week to Puslint.”
"That's not a problem." Ferdinand raised his chin. "The job of a teaching assistant is not difficult. All you have to do is help me mark some students' homework, and it happens that these homeworks are collected every Monday."
"Then I want to know all the details of this job."
Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "If possible, I would also like to know how I am treated."
"The precautions are, unless necessary, do not trespass into the territory of other colleges. And you need to spare some time to study with me."
"study?"
"Yes, because I am very optimistic about your potential. I hope you can pass the advanced classical Chinese examination within 8... no, preferably within 6 months."
"As for the remuneration... the weekly salary is 2200 Goli, and it can be increased by 20% every time you pass a stage of the Classical Chinese Professional Certification Examination."
"How about it?"
Ferdinand stood up and held out his hand to her.
"Welcome to join the Divine Academy?"
……
Leaving the office, Hitzfeld gradually came to his senses.
She realized something was wrong.
First of all, she was not subjected to any difficulties.
No, don't even mention being difficult. This meeting didn't feel like a formal interview at all!
If there were outsiders present, Hitzfeld would bet that these people would definitely suspect that he was a relative of Ferdinand, or at least had a connection with him.
So the question is, Nossa Ferdinand -
The deputy director of Shadow Lion, the president of the Pusilint Theological Seminary——
Why does he treat her differently as such a big shot?
Apart from her keener observation and a mind more active due to the influence of modern life, is there anything else that makes her different from others?
2200 Goli per week.
Only 1 day of work per week is required.
The job is just to mark some students' homework, and in the spare time he can learn from Ferdinand.
Such a good thing, countless people would be vying for it even if they had to pay money, so why did she get it?
think carefully……
Hitzfeld closed his eyes.
These allowances, benefits...the salary increase mechanism, all of these are meant to tempt me to study hard and pass the advanced Sara language ancient Chinese exam as soon as possible.
The focus should be on this.
And timing is important.
Must be within 7 months.
This shows that his real purpose was not to find a teaching assistant, but that he had a concern, a trouble.
This problem must be solved within 7 months, but he believed that only I could solve it, and the prerequisite for me to solve it was to "pass the advanced Sara language ancient Chinese test."
What kind of trouble will it be...
open one's eyes.
There is too little information, and this is the limit of our reasoning.
Shaking his head, Hitzfeld went downstairs and decided to take a good look around the entire Divine Academy first.
Ferdinand said she didn't have to work today, so she could get familiar with the working environment first.
When she came down, she happened to meet a group of students passing by.
They left in groups of three or five, discussing the latest news with each other, their faces full of nervousness and excitement.
"Have you heard? Baron Brun is also dead..."
"I heard about it. It's terrible. This is already the fourth one..."
"If this continues, it will be Tenize in nine months..."
"He is a prince..."
"They will definitely find a way to save his life..."
Chapter 17 Doubt and Denial
Watching the students leave, Hitzfeld's face darkened.
Yes...it is true...
The deadly football ticket case involved many great nobles, the two most important of whom were undoubtedly Prince Tenize and Princess Vona.
Hitzfeld didn't know them, and had never even seen a picture of them, but she knew their importance.
13 cursed nobles.
Tickets kill one of them every month.
It is the beginning of April... The curse of this month has not yet been triggered. So including Count Igor who died last December, 13 of the 4 people have died, leaving exactly 9 people.
If the case is not solved, all the people will be dead in nine months at most, including April.
The two most important people here are Prince Tenize and Princess Vona. If Ferdinand received the order to save these two people at all costs, then 9-2=7.
7 months... this time limit is just right.
So Ferdinand came to me and wanted me to help solve something that was related to whether the case could be solved?
Frowning, Hitzfeld felt that there was little other possibility.
But she also did not forget the lessons from the previous case, so she did not jump to conclusions immediately.
At least - until Xia Yibing keeps his promise to disclose the case progress and case materials to her and she obtains enough information, she will remain on the sidelines.
So let’s do this for now.
To relax his nerves, Hitzfeld planned to explore the general scope of the Theological Seminary first.
In front of the auditorium tower was a lawn built on a high platform. She walked to the edge of the platform and looked down.
Puslint Dream City is an upside-down city. If you look at it from the front, it looks like it is built on top of a mountain.
White stones... tough and steep, looking like the peaks of mountains. The buildings of Dream City are located in different places one after another, looking dense and layered.
In Hitzfeld's opinion, it was very similar to a mountain city.
There are also many platforms of different heights... the top floors of many buildings correspond to the first floors of other buildings... there are also many steps... many bridges...
So she probably knew why Ferdinand had forbidden her to go anywhere else.
It's really easy to get lost walking around here.
As Hitzfeld walked towards the stairs while looking at the scenery, he suddenly heard a sound of hurried footsteps.
"Sorry! Move aside!"
As she shouted, she turned around and saw a black-haired girl wearing big glasses rushing towards her, her face full of fear and panic of "being late".
Hitzfeld quickly moved out of the way so the girl could pass.
But maybe the girl was too nervous, or maybe she was not good at controlling her body in real life. Before she stepped onto the last step, her shoe toe tripped, she made a "ah" sound, and her body leaned forward and was about to fall.
At the critical moment, Hitzfeld stretched out his right hand to hold her. Although he was also taken back a few steps by the momentum, he at least avoided embarrassing the girl.
“Thank you…thank you!”
After the girl stood firm, she hurriedly thanked her.
"My name is Aglaia! From now on..."
"Hey? What's wrong with you?"
The girl was in a hurry - she was almost late, and planned to leave her name and thank her later. But when she looked up, she saw her benefactor - the gray-haired girl in a black dress, holding her head with a painful look.
"I'm fine..." Hitzfeld waved at her, trying to suppress his discomfort.
"I guess our time here is up... Come on, go to class!"
Under the girl's worried gaze, her body slowly floated up.
After experiencing the upside-down feeling again, Hitzfeld woke up in reality.
"Hey……"
She raised her hand to her temple and let out a weak cry.
A splitting headache.
Her mental state was really bad.
In the words of the supernatural world, the spirit is too weak. If you enter the dream world without any protection, even the weakest nightmare will be fatal.
The current situation is basically a series of inflammations caused by excessive brain use in her dreams.
I have already started to sleep and rest, but it still happens like this.
If she had not gone to Balvik and had not obtained the power of the Ring of Desire by chance, wouldn't she have been close to sudden death?
A feeling of fear and dread surged up in my heart.
As she was in poor health, she decided to inform Shadow Lion about this.
The notification channel was simple: she would write a letter about her needs and drop it into the dusty mailbox at No. 222. If that old bastard Alfred wasn't exaggerating, there would be a response in two hours at most.
Two hours later, she was taken to the Pollution Inspection Department by Ethan again, and happened to meet the "majestic" Dr. Sixus.
"Nothing abnormal, just overexerting the brain."
"Swish", a page of paper was torn off and handed to the red-haired nurse Lu Xier. The purple-haired loli with white highlights walked to the bedside in a cat-like manner and looked directly into the eyes of the girl who sat up.
“…σ(°wφ;)!?”
Hitzfeld's throat moved, thinking that the other party was going to accuse him of choosing a college.
"I understand your desire to avoid me."
Sixus narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.
"But this report card looks like someone worked non-stop for seven days... You should pay attention to your body!"
Contrary to expectations, she did not pursue the subject too much.
This was different from what Hitzfeld expected. She hurriedly said, "Sixus——"
The purple-haired loli looked up and used Death Stare.
"--PhD."
Hitzfeld reluctantly completed the title and said quickly, "I want to know what you think of my choice."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"I chose the Divine Academy."
Hitzfeld was watching her expression.
"I want to know what you think of this choice, and I want to know what kind of person Dean Ferdinand is."
She knew too little about Ferdinand, and she wanted to enrich her knowledge in this area by any means possible.
