"Who is that?"
Aiden heard someone whispering around him: "He's a cripple... but he's pretty handsome!"
The noise became more and more chaotic, and the students who were originally asleep gradually woke up. Those who were still asleep were also woken up by their friends to watch the fun.
"That's Aiwass Moriarty!"
Someone clearly said Aiwass's name: "The great detective who was on the Glass Steps newspaper a few days ago!"
When more people heard this name, they suddenly realized the meaning and showed expressions of approval.
After all, he is Senior Haina's partner, so it is normal for him to be brought here by her.
However, some people expressed disdain for this old-man-like hobby: "Ah, do you still read newspapers?"
"…Moriarty? Is this Professor Moriarty's child?"
Others also keenly noticed Aiwass's last name.
"It's him, the 'heartthrob' Moriarty!"
Apparently Aiden wasn't the only one who remembered Aiwass.
The only person who cared about Aiwass's health was a worried girl: "His legs..."
Others were discussing Haena's unprecedented, almost "careful and protective" attitude: "Could it be that Haena doesn't accept Alan because she already has a boyfriend?"
—Probably not. It doesn’t look like Aiwass would fall in love with Senior Haina…
Aiden said in his mind.
Of course he knew the man in front of him. He recognized him easily at first sight.
There was no doubt that this person was Aiwas Moriarty, his classmate in high school!
As early as middle school, Aiwass always became the center of conversation.
He is like Haena today, enthusiastic, cheerful, gentle and kind, always thinking of others. But he does not even have the flaw of Haena's "background" that people criticize the most.
Aiwass was born into a family of founders. Although he was only an adopted son... But given that his father had no offspring, an adopted son was not much different from a direct bloodline.
The difference between him and Haina is that Haina gets along equally well with both boys and girls because of her cheerful personality.
Aiwass is the opposite of her. He obviously gets along better with girls.
It's not that Aiwass has any grudge against the boys, it's just that he attracts too much attention and doesn't leave any room for others. The most hateful thing is that he doesn't really have a relationship, he just flaunts his tenderness and charm. In other words, he doesn't have a girlfriend who is sure to exist... Therefore, girls are unwilling to take a step back and always have fantasies.
—He is so nice to me, does he actually like me
But if the other party confesses, Aiwass will politely reject the other party while respecting the other party's dignity and make it clear that he is actually very kind to everyone. Although there are people who understand... But so what
Compared with those boys of the same age who are still childish, rude and self-centered, Aiwass, who is obviously mature, reliable and understands people, is more comfortable to get along with. Even if there is no romance or intimate contact, he is undoubtedly a good friend of the opposite sex.
From what Aiden knew alone, Aiwass's "deeds" included helping a girl find her abducted sister, helping to mediate misunderstandings and conflicts between a young couple, skipping classes to accompany a girl who lost her parents due to a sudden misfortune, and helping rebellious classmates restore their relationships with their families. The most outrageous thing was that there was a female teacher who was extremely sad after a breakup, and Aiwass wrote a humorous little poem for her, playing the harp like a bard, to persuade her that there was nothing wrong with being single.
And with Aiwas as a comparison, the expectations have been raised... and those still immature peers seem even more immature.
Because of this, Aiwass does not have a good reputation among boys.
Many people said that his girlfriend changed every Monday - ranging from female teachers in their thirties to elementary school sisters of classmates, but that was just jealous rumors. Only those friends who were close to him and familiar with his private life knew that Aiwas actually did not have a girlfriend.
Aiden is one of them.
He even knew why Aiwass didn't have a girlfriend. That was because that guy was a stupid brother who kept calling him "Yuli" all the time - and his "sister" was also Moriarty's adopted daughter, so she had no blood relationship with Aiwass.
Although he had never seen the frail sister in the legend, he didn't know what kind of stunning beauty she had to make Aiwas never forget her.
But Aiden knew that those girls who didn't understand their enemies would never win... because Aiwass really didn't care about them at all. He only had eyes for his sister who was so mysterious that he didn't know if she really existed.
Even when someone spread rumors, Aiwass did not pursue the matter.
"It doesn't matter. It won't affect me anyway. Besides, I did do something wrong... The root cause is that I overstepped my bounds in helping them and didn't keep a proper distance from them..."
At that time, two girls were rejected by Aiwass, and for the sake of face, they lied and said that Aiwass accepted them; but they happened to run into another person who had the same idea. The two of them were so angry that neither of them wanted to admit that they were lying, so they accused each other... As a result, the rumor spread that Aiwass was cheating on his wife and his harem was in turmoil.
What about Aiwass
Aiwass is playing cricket.
He was not anxious after hearing the news, but explained the logic of their behavior to the other brothers in the cricket team in a serious manner: "They just still have a fluke mentality, do not want to admit their failure, and at the same time have some face. If I blame them at this time, loudly rebuke them for lying and spreading rumors, it may ruin their lives. They all love me, and I don't hate them. I can't do such a wrong thing.
"At this moment, they are like standing on the edge of a dangerous mountain, just a hair's breadth away from falling. They can return to normal if they just calm down. At this critical moment, what I have to do is not to push them, but to pull them. Once they calm down, they will naturally help to dispel the rumors."
At that time, Aiwass was sitting on the table, and his brothers were standing around him, listening in amazement.
—Are you sure this is okay? Is it possible that they will dispel the rumor? Won't love turn into hate
But it turns out that Aiwass was right. They were the ones who didn't understand.
The rumors about Aiwass's affairs had no negative impact on his reputation, but instead made more people pursue him and more actively. And the two girls did admit their lies and rumors after they calmed down, and they ran around trying to eliminate the impact on him, and even became close friends with each other.
Aiden was convinced.
Master, what a master!
Please teach me, Master! I also want to find a girlfriend!
But shortly thereafter, Aiwass, who was admitted to the seminary of the Royal Law University, suddenly disappeared mysteriously.
It was said that he was in poor health and was recuperating at home. But no one would believe such an outrageous reason for taking leave.
Some said that he went to the headquarters of the Eternal Kingdom to practice, while others said that he found his biological parents and left Avalon.
Later, the rumor further fermented, and some people said with certainty that Aiwass had probably gone to study at the university in the Iris Kingdom - his romantic temperament showed that his biological parents were obviously Iris nobles, which was why he had such outstanding characteristics in Avalon, where there was no romance at all; some people also said that one of his parents had elven blood, so he should be in the Theocracy now.
The most outrageous theory was that he was summoned by Princess Isabel. The princess, who was also their sophomore senior, had already embarked on the path of transcendence. She needed a loyal, reliable, and thoughtful and smart long-term ally, and after hearing about Aiwass's miraculous experience, the princess might have chosen him.
—Now Aiden realizes that all those guesses were wrong.
It turns out that Aiwass was really injured!
Did he hurt his leg while playing basketball? Otherwise, why would he end up in a wheelchair
The students were talking and the noise in the classroom was getting louder and louder. Professor Bud stopped teaching and turned around.
"Good morning, Professor Budd!"
Haina greeted the old professor with great energy.
"Good morning, Miss Dane."
The short and thin old professor also had a good impression of this student who had excellent grades and was very polite.
He turned off the speaker button on the podium, turned around, smiled on his stern face, and politely called Haena's last name.
As he spoke, he cast his gaze behind Haina and touched his shiny head with almost no hair: "This is... Mr. Aiwass Moriarty.
Unlike his students, Professor Bud apparently reads the newspaper every day.
Therefore, it was not surprising that he knew the young detective who solved the Pelican Bar case and, as a side job, solved the previous Devil's Sacrifice case and the warehouse explosion case, as well as at least twenty-three smuggling cases.
"Hello, Professor Budd."
Aiwass nodded politely.
"Actually, Aiwass is also a student of this year's seminary," Haina introduced the old professor enthusiastically, "You should know him too.
"He was just in poor health before, so he has been recuperating at home. But even so, Aiwass has studied at home - you know, his father is Professor Moriarty. So he has not fallen behind in his studies... Although the final exam is approaching, Professor Moriarty thinks Aiwass can also try to take the exam.
"He, including Miss Lily, are both transfer students in our class. However, he is two months behind, so it is difficult for him to integrate with his classmates. Therefore, I would like to borrow your loudspeaker to help Aiwass introduce himself."
"oh?"
The old professor's eyes lit up.
He already had a good impression of the promising young man Aiwas mentioned in the newspaper, and now that his trusted student Haina had recommended him so enthusiastically, he had even more expectations.
So he had an idea and asked Aiwass softly: "Do you know anything about the Star Antimony Kingdom and Herasl?"
"some."
Aiwass answered affirmatively: "I know about the four countries including Star Antimony, Iris, Narcissus, and Black Hawk after the split of the Helasar Empire."
Not even to the extent of knowing something - the background stories of these countries were what his screenwriter friend liked to talk about the most during dinner. Instead, he was worried that he might say something he shouldn't...
"In that case..."
The open-minded old professor cheerfully made way for him and said, “Just come here and introduce yourself.
"After that, let's talk about the establishment of Xingti. OK, the lesson plan is here, the textbook is here... Let's start from this section. You can talk about it as you like, or you can express yourself freely.
"I think they will not be able to concentrate on the class after you show up. And you are in a wheelchair, so it is not easy for you to go up the stairs, and you have to sit next to the podium anyway. So why don't you teach this class... I believe the students will listen carefully."
Professor Budd encouraged: "Don't worry, if there are any mistakes or omissions, I will point them out next to it - this is a rare opportunity, isn't it?"
Haina, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard this. She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should stop it.
But Aiwass agreed briskly: "No problem."
This could only make her look bitter, and she chose to stay by the side and watch.
—At least with her here, even if Aiwass didn’t say it well, those brats wouldn’t dare to make trouble in front of her.
