118. Teachers and students

Kelly smiled awkwardly:

"Sorry, we still have classes to go..."

"Okay!" Iona agreed directly. She turned to look at Kelly with pleading eyes, "I don't have class in the afternoon, so just stay with me for a while."

Kelly looked embarrassed:

"I really have something to do, let's get together next time..."

Iona did not see Kelly's hint and said in a low voice:

"Then you go back first, I'll leave later."

Kelly glanced at the iron door that seemed to swallow up all the light, then looked at her dumb friend, gritted her teeth and said:

"Forget it, I'll accompany you."

Iona jumped up and hugged Kelly, and said happily:

"Kelly, I love you so much."

Hevin opened the door and let the two ladies in with Hala.

Since you want to break into the school, building a good relationship with your students is a good step.

Yes, both of them have taken their own courses.

After all, he was inserted in the middle. Although his academic attainments were high enough, it was impossible for the school to give him a major course this semester. If he were to teach other courses, it would be overkill.

Therefore, the School of History opened an elective course for him, which is a folklore course open to the entire university.

Of course, the dean of the School of History also has his own small thoughts. Although everyone who has done in-depth research on history and culture has heard of Hevin's name, laymen may not be able to understand his academic achievements.

Therefore, he should first build his reputation through elective courses, then publicize his achievements both internally and externally, and then limit himself to teaching elective courses or major courses in the School of History next year.

In Anthony's vision, this master of folklore will attract a large number of students interested in history and sociology, and he will also be able to grab a lot of students.

You must know that there is no discipline specifically created for folk culture. Even if there are relevant courses, most of them are the product of experimental nature. However, the books written by Hewen not only have sufficient achievements in folklore, but also explore the lost history.

The impact is more significant.

Hewen asked the two students with a smile:

"Would you like anything to drink?"

"Water will be fine." Kelly said first.

Hevin poured two glasses of water in front of them and placed them on the table.

Two students were sitting on a wooden high-backed chair. The seat cushion and back of the chair were filled with a lot of cotton-like material, but Kelly was very suspicious of what the filling was.

She observed the decoration of the living room. There were no spooky statues and strange symbols in her imagination. Rather, it was a bit too normal, making her suspicion seem like a bad joke.

The old-fashioned fireplace made a crackling sound, and the shotguns and animal head specimens hanging on the wall told visitors that the owner of the house was not as quiet and elegant as he seemed.

Hewen put down the coffee cup:

"Thank you very much for helping little Holla get her things."

In order to dispel the uneasiness, Kelly planned to talk about issues that normal people would talk about:

"Mr. Hevin, why did you let a girl carry the heavy quilt alone?"

Kelly always pays attention to her tone of voice when speaking so that her words don't sound like reproach.

Hala sat in the chair to the left of Hevin, which was to the right of Kelly and Iona.

The little girl handed the cup to Hevin.

Hevin poured milk into Ha La's cup:

"Holla is a reliable and strong child, and the power contained in her body is far beyond your imagination."

Kelly forgot her fear and retorted instinctively:

"But she is still a child, and even if she is mentally strong, she cannot break through physical limitations."

Heving paused:

"I will not discuss whether physical limitations are affected by mental factors. The power I am referring to is not of the brain, but of the body. She has extraordinary athletic talent and reaction speed."

Kelly asked curiously:

"You mean?"

Hewen took a sip of coffee:

"She is an athletic genius and has learned self-defense skills since she was a child. She may be safer walking on the street alone than the two of you put together."

Of course, Hala is not an athletic genius, but in terms of physical structure, she does have "athletic ability" that surpasses that of most humans. In order to cope with possible dangers, Hewen also taught her some simple fighting skills.

Kelly is still worried:

"Is it too early for a child to learn self-defense skills at such a young age? Isn't it too early?"

Hewen said half-truthfully:

"I can't be with her. If she encounters danger when I'm not around, she must have a way to deal with it."

Hearing this, Ha La twisted her body uneasily.

Kelly opened her mouth and wanted to ask the Hewen girl's parents? But then she realized that this might be a sensitive issue, at least she shouldn't say it in front of the girl.

Iona grabbed the topic and asked:

"Mr. Hevin, are you a staff member of the school? Or a student?"

Hewen smiled:

"I don't look like a student at my age."

Iona said without hesitation:

"But he's also so handsome that he doesn't look like a lecturer or a teaching assistant. Instead, he looks like a wanderer who puts on glasses and pretends to be polite."

Hewen touched his flat glasses:

"If I disappoint you, I am the school teacher."

Both girls were a little surprised. Iona was surprised that a man like him could actually engage in teaching, while Kelly was surprised that the other girl was really an ordinary lecturer and not some kind of evil spirit parasitic on the campus.

.

Hewen asked politely:

"What are your majors? Maybe we will meet again in the future."

Iona raised her little hand first:

"I major in biology, mainly studying living animals and plants."

Kelly introduced herself:

"I study archeology and want to discover things with mysterious powers around the world."

Hewen raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Mysterious power?"

Kelly explained seriously:

"Yes, I believe that mystery is real in this world, and I plan to devote my life to the pursuit and study of it."

Hewen asked:

“By ‘mystery’ do you mean magic and monsters?”

Kelly nodded and shook her head:

"That's not entirely true. If magic and monsters exist, then they are part of the mystery. In other words, the mystery I know does exist in this world, temporarily hidden in the shadows, and violates the operation of modern physics and common sense.

thing."

Hewen asked with interest:

"So if the so-called magic is a subject that can explain the principles and methods of use, does it belong to your definition of 'mystery' that violates modern physics?"

Kelly thought for a moment:

"Science is just a way to understand the world. If there really is magic that can be learned systematically and has complete principles, then they must have been widely promoted long ago. On the contrary, as long as they cannot float on the water

, which means it is mysterious.”

Hewen said:

"I understand your thinking. In your mind, does 'mystery' exist beyond the laws of nature and has characteristics that are difficult to implement? I have to say that it is very insightful."

At this moment, Kelly suddenly realized that she somehow seemed to be facing the professor's students, strictly presenting the immature theories buried deep in her heart to the teacher for review.

Like an ignorant flying insect caught in a spider's web without realizing it.
