After listening to Alina, Flandre Scarlet had an epiphany; she finally understood. After all, she had things she wasn't good at as well. Once she figured it out, Flandre looked at the pile of papers covered in writing in her hand again, and new ideas began to form.
"Thank you, Big Sister Alina!"
"You're very welcome. If little Flandre has any difficulties or troubles, you can talk to me more!"
Very soon, she produced a new teaching plan divided into two parts. Time quickly passed until the afternoon of the third day. Since this internal announcement fell on a weekend, many people were free. In addition, Wei Yenwu had said he would personally attend. So, even though attendance wasn't mandatory, those who were off duty brought their entire families to the assembly hall.
That's right, the whole family. After all, Governor Wei's internal announcement said they could bring family members along. Anyway, looking after the kids was the same no matter where they were. Coming here to get familiar with the department higher-ups meant that if they ran into trouble outside next time, they might have someone to turn to for help.
Of course, besides those with children, there were some special guests. For example, a certain Rat family sitting not far from Wei Yenwu.
"Daughter, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for us to be sitting here?" Lin Gerui (the Rat King) looked at his daughter.
"Why?" Lin Yuxia asked.
"The smell of cops is too strong; it's making me cough!" Lin Gerui fanned the air in front of his nose with his hand.
If anyone knew that the kingpin of the Lungmen underworld was currently sitting openly in the Lungmen Guard Department conference hall, and so close to Wei Yenwu, they would probably be shocked. Did anyone here know? Of course they did, but everyone kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, pretending not to see.
"Then go back. At worst, I'll just tell Mom that you..."
"Sigh, my good daughter, I'm taking a huge risk to accompany you to this Originium class. You promised not to sell me out; we still have to uphold our code of honor!" Lin Gerui grew anxious on the spot.
Lin Yuxia ignored him, instead looking at the young girl who was currently stacking books on a chair. Because she was too small, if she didn't pad the seat with something, people wouldn't be able to see her at all when she sat down. However, she was a bit curious; if even sitting on a chair was such a hassle, how was she going to write things on the blackboard behind her?
At this moment, Flandre Scarlet finally finished arranging the chair. She let out a long breath, then flew up to sit on top. After finding it stable and unlikely to result in an accidental fall, she picked up the nearby microphone.
"Good afternoon, colleagues of the Guard Department. Thank you all for being willing to participate in this study session on the identification and judgment of common Originium Arts and sorcery. Without further ado, let's start with Originium Arts..."
As Flandre spoke, pieces of chalk behind her began to dance automatically, writing out words and symbols on the blackboard. Beatrice, sitting in the audience, was very surprised. She could tell that these things were very similar to what Flandre Scarlet had shown her before, but they weren't exactly the same. It was clear that Flandre Scarlet had further refined these materials over the past two days. At the very least, she found it very interesting and not difficult to understand.
This made Beatrice feel very gratified. While she felt gratified, some people present felt more like they were being frightened. For example, Lin Yuxia.
As a university professor, she had a certain understanding and research into Originium Arts due to her family background. But when she studied it before, she always felt like there was a layer of mist in front of her. Now, after Flandre Scarlet had pierced through that mist, she suddenly felt enlightened. If the teachers who taught her Originium Arts back then had been this professional, she wouldn't have spent so much energy on it.
As for the young girl on stage and her effortless control of sorcery, it could only command her admiration. She had only seen this level of skill in those exchange students from Leithanien. But those exchange students were incredibly arrogant whenever they discussed Originium Arts, and most of what they said was obscure and difficult to understand—completely unlike how Flandre Scarlet made it so simple, direct, and profoundly insightful.
Lin Yuxia, who had originally intended to see what level Flandre Scarlet was at, was now scribbling furiously. Beside her, Lin Gerui also wore a rare, solemn expression as he watched the girl on stage. He hadn't studied Originium Arts so systematically; back then, he had figured everything out bit by bit on his own, taking many detours in the process. But precisely because of that, he could hear how rare the things the girl was talking about were.
If he had such a teacher to guide him at the beginning, his achievements would likely have been far beyond what they were now. So, seeing his daughter studying seriously made him very gratified.
As for Wei Yenwu, it didn't take him long to realize where the content Flandre Scarlet was presenting came from. After all, he had read that book more than once back in the day. While he wouldn't say he knew it by heart, he was very familiar with its contents. There were many other knowledgeable people among the rest, and the more they listened to Flandre Scarlet's explanation, the more shocked they became. Even if many didn't fully understand everything, they gained a lot of inspiration from it.
Especially when Flandre Scarlet described how to identify the effects caused by common sorcery and the strategies for dealing with them, the Guard Department Operators all became focused. If they couldn't use the previous sorcery-related content themselves, this information could very likely save their lives during certain missions.
This forced everyone to pay close attention. Just as three hours were up, Flandre Scarlet stopped her explanation.
"It's already been three hours. I'm sure everyone is a bit tired by now; I see some people are almost falling asleep... How about we stop here for today? If you'd like to hear more, I'll schedule another time to teach the second half to everyone, how about that!"
After Flandre Scarlet finished speaking, someone suggested doing it tomorrow. She shook her head.
"Today's content was already very rich. If you can fully master everything I taught today within a week, that would already be great. So, we'll do the second half in half a month. Is that okay with everyone?"
Wei Yenwu nodded. Originally, he just wanted to find something for Flandre Scarlet to do so she wouldn't get bored—after all, a bored child could be terrifying... but he didn't expect his whim would actually result in such a surprise.
"Of course. I'll arrange it for two weeks from now, on Saturday, right here. How about that?"
Once Wei Yenwu spoke, everyone began to applaud. At this moment, Flandre Scarlet saw someone raise their hand and pointed at them.
"What question does this colleague have?"
The person stood up sheepishly. "Ahem, Teacher Flandre Scarlet, I didn't manage to remember some of the content completely. May I ask if there's a recording of this teaching session? I'd like to go back and study it more."
Flandre Scarlet looked down at Chen Huijie, who stood up and looked toward the back.
"I have a full record of the lecture here. If any colleagues need it, you can register at the logistics office later, and we will distribute it according to demand."
"Great!" Hearing Ch'en's words, many people stood up and applauded again.
"Then, this lecture ends here. Oh right, since there's another class, I'll assign some homework! Write a report on your views regarding Originium Arts and related sorcery, five hundred to eight hundred words will do. Hand it in to me at the next class. Bad children who don't hand in their homework won't be allowed to participate."
Hearing Flandre Scarlet's words, a burst of laughter erupted in the hall. Immediately, Flandre Scarlet waved her small hand.
"Now, class dismissed!"
People began to file out of the hall. Little Tiger below suddenly jumped onto the stage, hugged Flandre, and gave her a kiss.
"MUA~~~ Little Flandre, you're simply too amazing!"
"Hehehe, it's all thanks to your suggestion, Big Sister Beatrice. Otherwise, I'm afraid the effect wouldn't have been this good."
While lecturing, she had noticed that every time she tried to go a bit deeper into the content, many people would get confused expressions on their faces. So, if she had really followed her original plan, those present would likely have felt like they were listening to a foreign language. Fortunately, Beatrice had rejected that idea from the start, which was why this content was so captivating.
"Flandre Scarlet, do you remember me?" At this point, Lin Yuxia walked over from the side.
"The big sister I had tea with at the Governor's Mansion before." Flandre Scarlet nodded.
"It's like this: I think your lecture this time was very meaningful, and I'd like to take a copy back to the university for our students to see. Oh, right, I happen to be a professor at Lungmen United University..."
Lin Yuxia showed that the advantage of having many identities was that she could pull out whichever one was beneficial to her at any time. Flandre Scarlet looked at Wei Yenwu nearby. "Is it okay?"
"Hahaha, of course. It's good to let the students of Lungmen know that the sea of learning is boundless; even those of us who are already working need plenty of time to study." Wei Yenwu did not refuse the suggestion; instead, he agreed with a chuckle.
"Then I have no problem!" Flandre Scarlet expressed that she was very happy being a teacher, and if she could be a teacher to even more people, that would be wonderful!
"Fine, I'll send a copy over to you later." Ch'en looked at Lin Yuxia; since joining the Guard Department, she had rarely contacted her. However, as someone she had grown up with, she wouldn't refuse a legitimate request.
"Alright, you know where I live. Remember to send it over then!" Lin Yuxia walked up to Flandre Scarlet and couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her little cheek before following her father out of the area.
"Governor!" After everyone else had left, the few remaining looked at Wei Yenwu.
Wei Yenwu looked Flandre Scarlet up and down before speaking. "The surprises you give me come one after another. This research into Originium Arts and sorcery is comparable to the scholars in the Celestial Masters Mansion(Tianshi Bureau) who specialize in this field."
"Hehehe, am I really that strong!" Flandre Scarlet said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Definitely. After all, there aren't many in the entire Celestial Masters Mansion who can master the book Originium and Sorcery so thoroughly. The things you taught this time would be top-tier content even in the Celestial Masters Mansion."
