Hearing the young public-sponsored student's rhetorical question, the professor did not answer immediately. Instead, he raised his finger, rubbed out a little spark, and pressed it on the golden tuft of tobacco in the pipe. Along with a wisp of green smoke, he put the pipe into his mouth.
, took a deep breath.
Fur...
The professor exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, which almost engulfed his whole body, but Zheng Qing could clearly see his bright eyes, which were like the carapace on the back of an insect, hard and shiny after being polished.
"The school is a bit chaotic now, on all levels."
The legendary wizard behind the desk said to the young public-funded student with unexpected frankness and frankness: "You know, because of some rumors, I did not become the vice-principal, but Ms. Emma became the vice-principal - this evaluation is completely
Let’s just discuss the matter and have nothing to do with personal grudges - from the perspective of ability, Ms. Emma is very reluctant to hold the position of vice principal..."
Zheng Qing's face wrinkled into a ball.
After listening to Lao Yao's first words, he wanted to block his ears to block out all the sounds behind him. But in front of a legendary wizard, this behavior was neither polite nor possible.
"...To be honest, I still have some supporters in school."
The professor raised his arm and waved it, as if to disperse the smoke in front of him, and as if making a powerful gesture: "Even if they know my identity... you should understand that at the level of high-level wizards, demons and
There is no essential difference between wizards. But at a certain stage, such as a great wizard, if you want to condense a complete true body, magic resources are more important than learning ability... The reason why my supporters support me is because I became the vice principal.
We can bring them more resources in the future..."
Perhaps he was worried that the young public-sponsored students lacked some ‘common sense’, so the professor’s explanations were so detailed that Zheng Qing felt that some of his words were a little too candid.
"So the conflict has returned to the part I mentioned earlier. Those who support me think that Professor Emma is not capable enough; those who support Professor Emma think that my identity is flawed. The two forces are arguing endlessly for their own interests, and even affect
The unity between several colleges...the management of the entire school is in chaos...You should be able to feel a little bit of this from the accident in the illegal laboratory outside the school this afternoon. In a sense, I and love
Professor Ma and classmate Nicholas are very similar, both have become some kind of 'involuntary symbols'."
"But, professor, haven't you already become the dean of the Academy of Magical Philosophy?" Zheng Qing expressed his confusion in a low voice.
When the new version of "Magic Wand" came out, Xiao Xiao once analyzed for him that in order to maintain a certain level of fairness, the school specially assigned a research institute to Dean Yao.
"The Institute of Magical Philosophy and the Vice-President of the First University are concepts on two levels." The professor took a puff of his pipe and blinked: "For me, there is no difference between the Vice-President or the Dean of the Institute.
Not much. But for the 'followers' who hope to obtain more magic resources, a research institute that is biased towards theoretical research cannot satisfy them."
Zheng Qing narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
He always felt that he had not grasped the point of Professor Yao's words.
"There is chaos inside First University, and it is even more chaotic outside the school."
The legendary wizard behind the desk didn't seem to notice the boy's thinking eyes. He clicked his pipe and continued to analyze slowly: "The demon gave birth to a new ancient one, but our principal was almost invisible... No matter what the North District wizard tried,
Expanding one's own rights, the alliance trying to reach into the school, or the big rat who was promoted to legend joining the First University, all need a voice with enough weight to give a definite statement. Instead of like now... everyone is vague
, there is no way to make a decision, every move and every decision of the school is full of uncertainty."
Having said this, he took a deep breath, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, and added: "... under the current circumstances, the school must be prepared to face more, larger, and more complex crises... We
I don’t know when and where the arrogant monster will take risks, but I know that if the current decision-making efficiency is followed, when the next crisis breaks out, the situation of First University may be worse than the black prison.”
Zheng Qing finally understood what Lao Yao was talking about.
There have always been two "mountains" within First University - the Professors' Joint Meeting, which is attached to Vice President Shi Hui, and the School Working Committee, which is attached to Vice President Ruoyu. During the days when the President disappeared, there was always a gap between these two mountains.
In a competitive and cooperative relationship.
To put it more bluntly, the two legends have been secretly competing to become the president's successor. This competitive relationship is an unspoken secret throughout First University.
After the Black Prison War, Ms. Shi Hui, who originally had a dominant position, was responsible for the failure of the Black Prison War and had to leave First University. However, the power vacuum created after her departure was caused by the conflict between Professor Yao and Professor Emma.
Delicate situations have not been addressed for a long time.
To use an inappropriate example to describe it, Old Man Ruoyu is like the Wei State among the Three Kingdoms, which is the most powerful; Professor Yao and Professor Emma are like the Shu State and the Wu State, both competing and cooperating with each other.
Now Professor Yao is a little tired of this internal strife and wants a more 'authoritative' voice to give an explanation and end this chaos as soon as possible.
"I don't know," the young public-funded student cleared his throat weakly, his tone full of uncertainty: "I mean, is there anything I can do?"
He had already made up his mind that if the professor wanted to see his husband, he would take him to Sanyou Bookstore without saying anything. As for whether the professor could see him or not, that was another matter.
The professor waved his hand to disperse the smoke and carefully looked at the boy in front of him.
"I hope you graduate soon." The professor returned to the original topic. This answer was completely beyond Zheng Qing's expectations.
The young wizard's thoughts were once again in confusion.
"This matter... is there any relationship between these two things?" Zheng Qing was a little confused: "I graduated or I didn't graduate..."
"It's not what you do, it's what you are."
The professor replied concisely: "I probably guessed the principal's plan... He didn't express any opinions on school affairs, which is the clearest opinion... Therefore, I don't expect to chat with the principal today... I can only say
Hope rests on his agent. And there is no way for a student to become a qualified agent."
Zheng Qing pursed his lips, feeling a little bitter in his mouth.
"Don't be so serious all the time... You are still very young, don't live like a little old man now." The professor smiled and knocked on his pipe, knocking the burnt ash on the desk.
The young public-funded student sighed melancholy.
After tonight's conversation, he found it difficult not to turn into a little old man with all his hair falling out.
