To the right of Miss Danister sat two ladies. The younger one was wearing a black formal dress and holding a pen and a notepad. She was obviously the secretary of the Student Affairs Office. The other lady looked the oldest among the five, in a delicate state between "woman" and "old man". She was a little bloated, but very tall. She wore a black dress and a big hat. Her sharp eyes made her look very strict.
"Oh, Shad, come on, sit down."
Miss Danister greeted Shade casually and asked him to sit on the empty sofa opposite her:
"I won't introduce Professor Garcia. The person next to him is the dean of your History School, Professor Odias, a Twelve-Ring Warlock."
Professor Odias nodded slightly to Shad, who immediately greeted him.
"The two people over here, this is Ms. Orris, the secretary of the Student Affairs Office, and this is Professor Schindler, the dean of the library management department."
Although Miss Danister is a librarian, she is not the dean of the School of Library Management herself, just as the principal, Mr. Pigman, does not hold any other position.
Xia De greeted each professor in turn, while Ms. Oris from the secretariat had already started taking notes.
"Shad Suren Hamilton, since the principal is not in the academy at the moment, I will be presenting you with the 'St. Byron's College Medal for Outstanding Students in 1853' and the 'St. Byron's College Felena Medal' on his behalf."
The red velvet box and the red lacquered wooden box slid towards Shade on the coffee table. Shade immediately stood up and picked them up, and opened them one by one to examine them. Shade had already seen the St. Byrons College Medal of Outstanding Students in 1853 from the doctor, and the "St. Byrons College Felena Medal" was a purple-gold metal medal. It was in the shape of a bauhinia flower, with the St. Byrons school emblem on the front and the awarding date engraved on it, and the medal owner and his achievements engraved on the back.
"It's my pleasure."
"Don't be so modest. Aside from your grades, your promotion speed has also set a record in the academy. This is an honor you deserve. Please keep your medal safe. This not only means that as long as you are willing to apply for a teaching position at St. Byron's, you will definitely not be rejected. This honor itself is the best reward you can get during your student days. It is named after the founder of the academy."
Miss Danister said, while Shade noticed that the "Felianna Medal" was actually an alchemical item with extremely strong traces of enlightenment elements. This was the most powerful alchemical item he had ever come into contact with, except for the "Bone Medal" made by Augustus priests with angel bones, and it was even similar to the doctor's ebony pistol.
If it weren't for the lack of the whispering element, Shad would even suspect that this was a relic.
"Wearing the medal can help you stay awake, focus more, fight back against weak curses, crack simple ritual mechanisms, pay extra spirits, and even clean your clothes instantly. In addition, this honor also means that you can have your own separate page of poetry manuscripts and can contact the academy separately."
Miss Danister smiled and said, of course, Shad already had separate pages of poetry.
"I'll take good care of it."
Miss Danister pointed to Professor Odysseus on the side:
"In view of your outstanding performance, although you are currently only a correspondence student, the History School has decided to increase its efforts in your training."
"but... ... "
Xia De said in his heart.
"However, I have already made it clear to St. Byrons that I intend to train you as the next librarian. Therefore, the History School's training for you needs to be re-discussed. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for you."
The thirteenth ring sorceress didn't seem to be willing to be polite to the history department. Professor Garcia, the vice dean of the history department, who was more familiar to Shade, winked at Shade, while the dean, Professor Odias, had a blank expression on his face. Shade guessed that he must be a little unhappy.
"You will still be a student at St. Byron's History College, but you will also be taking courses in library management as a minor. In the next few years, I will open several professional elective courses for you. When you enter the eighth grade and take the last step to Central, I will be your instructor by default."
The minimum graduation requirement of St. Byron's is the ninth ring, which is the high ring. Although not everyone has such talent, the number of students who drop out is far greater than the number of graduates, but for talented students, the academy is not stingy in training. Among them, the selection of mentors for the eighth ring is one of the most important training programs. After all, after entering the high ring, it is difficult to continue to learn by relying on professional courses alone. Point-to-point training is a better way to learn for the eighth ring and beyond.
"Mr. Hamilton, do you accept this arrangement?"
Miss Danister asked. Shade pretended to hesitate for a moment, then pursed his lips and nodded:
"Yes."
The cat was hiding in the pocket and seemed very quiet at this moment. The hesitation just now did not seem like he was thinking, but rather that he was considering the face of the School of History.
The librarian smiled with satisfaction and said to the two deans and a vice dean:
"I just know that no one can say no to me."
It should be said that no one can refuse the invitation of the Thirteen Ring Warlock, so the History School will not regard Shade's choice as a betrayal. After all, they are both professors of St. Byrons, and if a librarian from the History School appears in the next era, it will also be good for the History School itself.
The contract that Xia De signed when he enrolled stated that he joined the History Department, so he needed to sign a supplementary contract this time. The contract was more than ten pages long, and Xia De spent some time reading it all. The professors agreed with Xia De's approach. After all, a ring wizard who didn't read the content before signing the contract was not worth training.
After signing his name, Miss Orris from the secretariat informed Shade of the tuition reduction plan. This was nothing to Shade, as he only had over 3,000 pounds left in cash, but he still had the box of gems he got from Huntington.
Afterwards, Professor Garcia mentioned Shade's next training plan. All these things took more than an hour to deal with. By this time, Mia had already crawled out of Shade's pocket and had a sweet sleep on his legs.
"That's roughly the arrangement for your next training program."
Miss Danister nodded to Shade, then looked to Miss Orris, who stood up and left.
"Also, the academy needs to confirm one thing. Please wait a moment... ...By the way, are you still a fourth ring now?"
Xia De hesitated for a moment and admitted:
"I was promoted to the fifth ring a few days ago."
Some time ago, when Miss Danister was in Tobesk, Shad asked about his promotion ceremony for this very purpose.
In the thick steam mist, a life ring slightly larger than the normal one appeared behind him. It was indeed a five-ring life ring. Several professors looked at each other, and Miss Danister smiled and praised:
"Although it's a bit surprising, it's also expected. But this way, you are not only the fastest four-ring, but the fastest... ... coming."
Everyone looked to the side, and Shade frowned slightly, because a familiar voice came from the corridor between the bookshelves in the distance -
"Doomsday! Flame! False time! The end of everything! Praise the end of the end! Praise the beginning of the beginning!"
Crazy shouts and prayers appeared inappropriately in the quiet library at night.
His eyes widened in surprise as he saw a guy wearing handcuffs and shackles, a mental patient restraint suit, and a special black iron semi-restraint helmet on his head, being brought over by two middle-ring warlocks wearing academy lecturer robes.
That was Sir Lykins Prisher, whom Shade had not seen since the Pantanal Battle 2009. In just a week, he looked much older, even his hair had turned gray.
His arms were tied on both sides, so he didn't walk very fast, but he obviously realized where his destination was and shouted loudly and madly.
"This is... Oh, Sir Prissier?"
Shad turned to look at Miss Danister, who had also met the lord at Shad's home in Tobesk. Of course, this matter must not be known to others.
"Yes, I think your team leader mentioned something about academic spies. We borrowed him from the church to see if he could recover some of his memories by seeing the people he used to know. He... knows something that the three major colleges would like to know."
Miss Danister said softly, and the two deans nodded. Professor Odias added:
"Please rest assured, we have not revealed your identity to the church. We brought him here only because Saint Byrons wanted to try to restore his memory."
"I see."
Xia De made an expression of sudden enlightenment, and "she" said in Xia De's heart at this moment:
They doubt you.
"Of course they are suspicious, otherwise why did they only look for me and not the doctor? Although there is a big gap between my level and the so-called God Summoner, after all, this time, the God Summoner simultaneously displayed the power of time and the Silver Moon. If it weren't for the wrong effect of the Word of Ascension, and if I really wasn't a high-level warlock... they asked about my level just now, it turned out to be because of this... If it weren't for the mismatch, they would not just be suspicious... What's the situation with Kings Prisha now?"
The distance is too far to be perceived.
While Shad was talking to "her" in his mind, the crazy Prisha had already approached the open space in the center of the library.
There were so many people sitting here, but he saw Xia De at a glance. His bloodshot eyes widened and his body struggled violently, as if he wanted to pounce on Xia De and strangle him to death:
"You evil demon from the outside world!"
