Chapter 175 - 76. Casheo’s Silver Mirror
The vast meeting room was filled with the quiet sound of a swinging pendulum, as every evening following the meetings, Saint Nali University arranged dinners of varying scales, so at this moment, their families were also waiting below in the banquet hall for the meeting upstairs to end.
Moli sat next to Mr. Fisher and opened her notebook with a "heave-ho" sound, then glanced at both sides. The Forbidden Magic Scholars opposite were rubbing their hands together eagerly, clearly having plotted carefully, while on Mr. Fisher’s side, apart from him and herself, there were only a few teachers from the Magic Academy, Roger and Selena.
Since the theory was proposed by Mr. Fisher, the two professors came only to support Saint Nali University’s presence, to prevent an outnumbered situation from occurring.
Seeing Professor Fisher’s composed expression, Moli also gently patted her own cheek, trying to match Professor Fisher’s calmness in order to not lose in momentum to the others.
But because the patting was a bit loud, it made Mr. Fisher and Roger look over at the same time, unsure if this student was having a spasm or doing something else for suddenly hitting her own face.
Well, that was just great, she hadn’t been unsettled by the Schwali scholars, but the gazes of her own professors made her blush, her head lowered as if afraid of their questions.
Fortunately, Professor Fisher seemed to have gotten used to it, he didn’t pay attention to Moli who made silly gestures, but spread out his notes, preparing for the following debate with them.
In strict terms, an academic forum wouldn’t have a rigorous format, essentially everyone presenting their own ideas as if in a conversation. However, since there were many people from Schwali this time and Mr. Fisher was the only one on his side, Principal Ken and Prince Luosang sitting at the front were there to maintain order to prevent the debate from descending into chaos.
The scholars from Schwali needed to put forth their arguments one by one, and then Mr. Fisher would respond.
Actually, this type of debate in an academic forum didn’t need to convince the scholars from Schwali. Whether they were convinced or not, Mr. Fisher only needed to present his answers and explanations and then wait for the meeting notetakers to record the conversation and convey the results to the people waiting outside.
