Chapter 116: The Transfer Student (4)
A new semester tended to bring new encounters.
“Nice to meet you, everyone. I’m Professor Cai-Lussac in charge of Elementalism this semester.”
It was time for Elementalism, the first class of semester two. A wrinkly old man greeted us as he came onto the podium.
“Why is this a core course?”
Sure enough, Rosemary grumbled quietly from her seat behind me. It was an expected response given the relationship between Beasts and Elementals.
Moreover, Professor Cai-Lussac was someone who was in a contract with an Elemental. The Elemental within his body would be an eyesore to her.
“I research nanometer-scale materials using a lesser Earth Elemental. Students who are interested in seeing the lab, please feel free to let me know.”
Fortunately, the level of the Elemental that Professor Cai-Lussac carried was low so it didn’t seem to be able to detect Rosemary’s identity.
On the other hand, Rosemary’s gaze was burning holes into my back. Just because a lesser Elemental couldn’t detect a high-level Beast, it didn’t mean the opposite was true.
Crunch, crunch.
There was the sound of candy being chewed coming from behind me. How pissed was she to be grinding her teeth like that?
