Chapter 1020: Chapter 1018: Home Science Examination Chapter 1020: Chapter 1018: Home Science Examination âDoes it look familiar?â
President Cass, clearly a man unsure of dawdling, quickly led the way triumphantly in front.
Before long, he pointed at a gray and white building not far away and asked,
âThis is one of the busiest places in the Academy,â
âDoesnât look familiar.â
Fu Qian glanced and responded directly, not minding exposing his own neglect of duty.
âNot looking familiar is normal because this is the territory of the Divine Ashes Institute, heheheheâŠâ
The President of Heavenâs Commencement Institute let out a string of ridiculously cheap laughter.
âSo, the means to enter that place hasnât been sent to Heavenâs Commencement?â
Fu Qian nodded slightly, deep in thought.
Cass led him deeper into the Academy rather than outside; he certainly didnât think the Forbidden Area was right here, but deduced that the way to enter might be somewhat special.
Are you just going to show up and defile Divine Ashesâs treasures that arenât even normally touched? Isnât that just like publically cuckolding someone?
The President is indeed a man of great temper; much to my liking.
âNo, itâs just that I couldnât wait!â
Cass continued with his vile laughter.
âBut theoretically, that already belongs to Heavenâs Commencement Institute, and having helped them so much this time, using their venue for a scientific exam shouldnât bother Divine Ashes.â
âThat is reasonable,â
Fu Qian agreed completely.
As they spoke, they didnât stop walking and had already progressed around the corner to the front entrance.
Seen from close quarters, unlike Swordsmanship Departmentâs lofty elegance, and Heavenâs Commencementâs brutish simplicity, the building before him had a distinctly eerie quality to it.
It was clearly made of pure white stone, yet under the current lighting, it had an indescribable shade of light gray completely enveloping it.
From certain angles, the varying shades of gray even formed patterns similar to wood grain.
It seemed a kind of Extraordinary Effect was protecting the entire building, covering it inside and out.
Fu Qian quietly assessed,
Impressive!
Divine Ashes has its reasons for its proud and haughty demeanor each day.
Even the person welcoming guests at the door wasâ a Fourth Order Transcendent?
As Fu Qian evaluated, the figure who had been standing inside the door appeared to notice them and promptly walked straight over.
Tall and wearing a gown made only of black and white, she even wore a pair of rimless glasses on her face.
The newcomer seemed determined to present herself as a high-brow female intellectual, but the enticing twist in her waist and her dynamic movements, akin to a Water Snake, along with her misty, elongated eyes, completely twisted that effort into a uniform seduction.
âYouâre late.â
At this moment, the lady in uniform stood before them, staring at Cass, the tone unpleasant.
A welcoming staff shouldnât look like this, nor is it likely they would speak to Cass in such a manner.
Fu Qian stayed silent, waiting for Cass to introduce her.
âGot a bit too excited last night, accidentally overslept.â
Facing the questioning, Cassâs smile remained as he came up with an excuse instantly.
âThis is Tutor Lisa; your lab will be right next to hers. She will be joining us for todayâs scientific exam and will help show you around afterward.â
After this insincere casual talk, Cass turned to Fu Qian to introduce,
âLisa, I guess I donât need to introduce this gentleman to you.â
âNo need, hello, Lord Demigod.â
The tutor called Lisa assessed Fu Qian for a momentâher greeting lacked much respect.
It was clear that the title of demigod couldnât intimidate her.
âAt least you should have told me⊠running around someone elseâs turf so arrogantly, and you let me arrive so early. Can you imagine what I just went through? It was like each person looked at me as if theyâd seen a stepmother!â
Meanwhile, Lisa was clearly still angry, and it sounded like she really had a tough time.
âThat makes sense, itâs getting late indeed, letâs get started.â
Cass chuckled at that, and with an extremely stiff logical transition, he took the lead.
Fu Qian followed him inside, feeling like he had passed through a barrier, and even a mix of âsmellsâ hit his face.
It was said to be a smell, but in essence, it was on the level of consciousness, similar to the emotional ripples created earlier by Wen Li, only much more mysterious, and much more assortedâa veritable old cellar vibe.
Reflecting on the nature of Divine Ashes, it was probably a result of years of testing, concocted under the wrap of that barrier.
Of course, compared to Heavenâs Commencement Institute, the ambiance was slightly more elegant.
The interior was also very solemn; wherever they passed, almost everyone wore some sort of ceremonial robe, even more stern than those at the Swordsmanship Department.
Experiencing this different departmental culture, Cass had already made his way downward.
And just as Lisa had said, along the way, the trio received quite a bit of attention, and the emotions were as complicated as office workers watching a burly man walk to their home.
âI hate coming here; it always takes me several days to recover.â
With someone else to draw attention, Lisa relaxed a lot, but she didnât forget to complain as they walked.
âEspecially down here, the deeper we go, the more disgusting it gets, just likeâŠâ
The woman hesitated, apparently considering a metaphor.
âLike your brain ate shit?â
Seeing that she unconsciously stared at him, Fu Qian thought it over and offered a suggestion.
âExactly, like your brain ate shitâand you donât even know how to puke it back out.â
Lisaâs eyes lit up, and she decisively took his suggestion.
âNo wonder youâre a demigod, so perceptive.â
âJust seen a lot,â Fu Qian responded modestly, in the face of his colleagueâs false praise.
âThis is the place, mind the shit; there might be a lot.â
Hearing the sharp commentary of the two institute elites, Cass appeared to have no concern about damaging departmental relations and even kindly reminded them that theyâd arrived.
At the end of the corridor, there was a door, shaped quite irregularly.
Cass was just about to knock when the door already opened from the inside.
In the dim light, a slightly chubby face emerged, coldly sizing up the three.
He looked somewhat familiar.
Fu Qian immediately commented.
If he wasnât mistaken, this man had also been in the audience yesterday, even seated quite prominently.
This man was skilled; likely, heâd heard the trioâs conversation just now, so the intense negative emotions were understandable.
In fact, directly opening the door without a knock was already demonstrating this point.
âPresident Cass, youâve arrived.â
His gaze swept over the three faces, lingering particularly long on Fu Qian, before this man coldly called out.
âPlease follow me.â
âNo trouble, Professor Shein.â
Oblivious to the otherâs negative emotions, Cass greeted him warmly.
âWe only need a few hours.â
A few hours, tops?
Although Lisa felt slightly embarrassed having been caught talking ill behind someoneâs back, watching her bossâs shameless performance, including the newly minted demigod beside her, made her sentiments much more composed in an instant.
Becoming a demigod certainly required an extraordinary quality.
