Professor Carolina

Professor Carolina's lecture this time focused primarily on the research findings regarding the space-time dragons of Sinnoh.

Because of the excavation of the Adamant Orb and the deciphering of the inscriptions, the hypotheses of the Sinnoh mytho-historical academic community regarding the origin of Mt. Coronet were no longer ethereal, pipe-dream theories.

However, because many documents were recorded using Unown, many people had no interest in them and listened in a half-asleep daze.

Only a small handful of seniors about to graduate were writing furiously, determined to sketch out those Unown even if they could not understand them, because this would help with their graduation theses.

The lecture lasted a total of two hours, with a twenty-minute intermission in the middle.

Su Bai sat in his chair, stretched lazily, and flipped through the notes he had just taken.

Although he could understand what Professor Carolina was saying, Su Bai had already heard all that knowledge long ago in the anime of his past life.

Right now, the research into Sinnoh's space-time mythology was still in its starting phase.

Even the names of Palkia and Dialga had only just been made public not long ago.

Therefore, to keep from dozing off, Su Bai had specifically brought a notebook and pen to record the general content of Professor Carolina's speech, and even translated it into the Dragon Nation language along the way, purely to keep his mind following along with the lecture the whole time.

That boy who had been daydreaming about Cynthia just a moment ago glanced casually at Su Bai's notebook, and was shocked by the handwriting filled with alternating Dragon Nation and Sinnoh languages.

"No way, bro, can you understand the Sinnoh language?"

"Yeah, it's very simple."

"You can even read those weird-ass patterns?"

"Professor Carolina explained all of them just now."

Su Bai did not want to engage with this person any further, but the other party was obviously a total chatterbox.

"Bro, it looks like you haven't read few study materials, huh?"

"Are you sick in the head or what?"

Su Bai turned around and started to walk away, planning to find somewhere else to sit; he was afraid he would get infected if he stayed here too long.

Before he even got to his feet, however, he was grabbed by the other guy.

"Old Su, Brother Su, don't leave just yet. My name is Wang Dalin. Considering we were in the same class before the split, can you sell these notes to me? I'll trade you for intelligence, or cultivation resources and money work too."

"I remember you. I recall that when classes were being divided, you signed up for the battle major, right? Since you're so interested in this stuff, why didn't you sign up for the Observation Department?"

Faced with Su Bai's question, Wang Dalin declared that Su Bai was acting like an outsider here.

Just look at those senior female students wearing glasses, comparing their phones and books back and forth-they were all planning to use Professor Carolina's lecture in their graduation theses.

Yet not everyone understood the Sinnoh language, so they could only rely on translation software to compare it word by word.

If he himself got hold of Su Bai's notes, wouldn't he be able to use them to hit on those enthusiastic yet intellectually beautiful senior female students?

"So Brother Su, I'm begging you, sell me your notes, okay?"

Just as Wang Dalin was pleading continuously, a sharp and mean-spirited voice rang out.

"Aren't these Wang Dalin and Su Bai? How did the two of you end up huddled together? This is a lecture class for our Observation Department, what business do you have crashing it?"

It was He Yuan; after the class division, she had signed up for the Observation Department.

"Especially you, Su Bai. Who let you in? I remember the breeding department has classes this afternoon, right?"

He Yuan was filled with hatred toward Su Bai right now. It was this exact Su Bai who had defeated He Liang at the Health Cup and repeatedly challenged their Golden Source Gym, causing the win rate of the Golden Source Gym to plummet recently.

Because of Su Bai, almost all of the prospective students for the Golden Source Gym had been snatched away by the Origin Gym.

"I'm going to tell the teacher right now that you're cutting class and sneaked into our Observation Department's course."

* * *

"No, no, no, class monitor, Sister Yuan, we just came over to see what's going on."

"Wang Dalin, this has nothing to do with you."

"How does it have nothing to do with me? Sister Yuan, just let my Brother Su off the hook this once. Besides, the Sinnoh people are still here, don't make a fool of yourself."

Hearing Wang Dalin's words, He Yuan was not someone completely devoid of brains; knowing that making too big a scene in front of outsiders wouldn't look good for her either, she nodded.

"Su Bai, you just wait. Once the lecture is over, I'm going to go find the teacher."

"Are you an elementary schooler? How old are you and you're still running to tell the teacher? But do as you please, and besides, I didn't sneak in-I walked right through the front door in broad daylight."

Hearing Su Bai's words, He Yuan let out a cold snort and simply sat down directly in the seat right in front of him.

She was going to keep an eye on Su Bai and not let him run off early. What's more, she was determined to rat him out for skipping class; even if she couldn't really do much to Su Bai, she had to vent some of her burning frustration.

While continuously soothing Gengar inside her shadow, Su Bai organized his notes and handed them over to Wang Dalin.

This kid had spoken up for him just now, so he was a solid guy.

"Here are your notes. Remember, those symbols aren't called weird-ass patterns; they're called Unown, and they're also a kind of Pokémon, a Psychic-type. Ancient people frequently used Unown to record legends and history. If you want to chat up girls, be a bit more professional about it."

"You got it, thanks Brother Su! From now on, you're my good brother!"

Wang Dalin took the notes and whispered to Su Bai.

"Bai, man, I've checked it out. The door in the back is open, and people will definitely be a mess when it lets out in a bit. Just run straight back later, and that spoiled missy won't be able to catch you."

"It's fine, don't worry."

Su Bai told Wang Dalin not to worry, as he had already asked for leave.

Wang Dalin remarked that being able to get leave approved on the very first day of class meant Su Bai was awesome.

Ten minutes later, Professor Carolina stepped onto the stage.

"Next, before I begin explaining new knowledge, I need to ask a question. Are there any students who can roughly retell the contents of what I just lectured on earlier?"

Not a single person in the entire tiered lecture hall raised a hand.

This was also quite normal; Pokémon mythology was ethereal and illusory to begin with, and Unown were even more obscure and difficult to comprehend.

Coupled with the fact that Professor Carolina had used the Sinnoh language the entire time, almost no one had listened to it with their hearts, and everyone was just looking at the pictures for amusement.

As for those senior students who were taking serious notes, they had all come to listen to the lecture simply to cite a few of Professor Carolina's sentences in their theses, and were only thinking about how to lower their similarity percentages during thesis checks.

As for the specific content Professor Carolina had lectured on, they hadn't taken it to heart at all.

Director Li and Qi Shijun were sitting right in the middle of the front row, looking rather awkward...

Professor Carolina stood on the stage with a stern expression, wanting to scold them a couple of times but unable to open her mouth, and she also understood these students.

She could only sigh inwardly that mytho-historical studies were failing to thrive.

Su Bai originally hadn't wanted to stick his neck out, but now he had no choice and helplessly raised his hand.

He couldn't exactly let his fiancée's grandmother stand awkwardly on stage, could he?

Seeing Su Bai, Professor Carolina's eyes lit up instantly.

"This student, please stand up and talk about it."

"Professor, are you talking about me?"

Before Su Bai even had a chance to stand up, he saw He Yuan sitting in front of him stand up with an excited look on her face.

Professor Carolina is calling on me-is this her showing favor to me?

This was an opportunity. Even though He Yuan couldn't do anything, she had already made up her mind to get on good terms with Professor Carolina.

I am so pretty, what if Professor Carolina takes a liking to me and makes me her graduate student?

"No! Excuse me, please sit down. I'm talking about the male student behind you."

"Pfft!"

As Professor Carolina finished speaking with a stern expression, Wang Dalin right beside Su Bai couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

He Yuan sat back down in her chair, turned around, and glared fiercely at Wang Dalin and Su Bai.

Su Bai naturally didn't care about He Yuan's gaze, standing up and giving a slight bow toward Professor Carolina.

Following that, Su Bai first greeted Professor Carolina in the Sinnoh language.

"Hello, Professor Carolina."

"Hello, student Su Bai. Please begin."
