After Welch came out of the office, Anna entered Quentin Cohen's office.
Valeela gestured to Welch and pointed to the office behind her, indicating that he should leave first.
After Welch's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Valeela knocked on the door as a reminder and entered the teacher's office.
Unlike the independent offices of senior associate professors, faculty offices are shared by many people. There are four or five desks in it, and most faculty members sit at their own desks.
Seeing Valeera appear at the door, Azik stood up on his own initiative and said:
"Let's go outside and talk, just go to...the balcony at the end of the corridor."
The two of them left the office and walked to the balcony one after the other without speaking.
At the end of the corridor, on the small balcony in all directions.
Azik held on to the thick gray stone railing and looked at the scenery of the Huoyin River not far away.
After a moment, he sighed and asked directly:
"Kaldwin, you are not an ordinary person, are you?"
Valeera imitated Azik's movements, holding on to the gray stone railing with both hands, looking at the stone road downstairs, showing a slight hesitation, and said:
"Yes, Mr. Azik, I have another identity called Ai..."
"I'm not snooping into your privacy, and I don't mean any harm." Azik interrupted Valeera and said in a different way, "I'm asking if you, like me, have mastered some strange things. Ability."
In order to ease Valeela's resistance as much as possible, he deliberately revealed a little of his secret.
He continued in a faint tone:
"I've heard some things about you...I think divination and potions are the extraordinary abilities you have mastered."
"Right?"
Valeera didn't try to disguise her expression because she didn't know how observant Mr. Azik was.
She calmly shifted her gaze from the stone road downstairs to the broad Huoyin River, and then replied:
"Yes, Mr. Azik, about a year ago, I came into contact with the extraordinary world and became an extraordinary person."
"I came to Huoyin University with no ill intentions."
Like Valeela, Azik also looked forward and did not look at the other person's expression.
"I can tell," he said in a gentle tone, "I think you are running from someone, right?"
"ah?"
Valeera was quite surprised by these words, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Azik beside her, breaking the previous tacit understanding between the two.
Azik turned his head, faced her with a gentle smile, and asked:
"Do you know why I was late this morning?"
As he said that, without waiting for Valeera's reaction, he asked and answered himself:
"Because after I approached the school gate, I happened to see an invisible woman breaking into the campus."
"The feeling you give me is a bit similar to her."
This news was quite shocking to Valeera.
Although she knew that the calm these days was a bit abnormal, she still didn't expect that there was such a huge wave that was invisible and eliminated.
"Yes, she is a cultist."
"They were the ones who guided me to become an Extraordinary." Valeela decided to reveal a little bit of the truth and cut ties with the Witch Sect in front of the angel elder. "But I don't want to believe in the evil god, so I can only betray and abscond."
"I trust you."
Looking at the solemn expression on Vali La's face, Azik nodded, "Unfortunately, I only managed to drive her away from the campus and couldn't help you solve the problem."
"Thank you, that's enough."
Valeela returned to the gaze state and said in a calm tone: "I will leave Tingen tomorrow, and it will not be so easy to find me again."
"Leave?" Azik was startled for a moment, then nodded suddenly, "It is indeed a good idea."
He looked into the distance, hesitated again and again, and continued:
"Kaldwin, you know, my situation is actually different from yours...my abilities should be innate."
"Valila, just call me Valila, Mr. Azik."
Valeera used meditation skills to control random thoughts and spoke the truth that couldn't be more true. "As far as I know, most of the extraordinary abilities you are born with are only very weak. I don't think you belong to them." This kind of thing.”
"Is that so?" Azik murmured.
He could see that Valeera's replies had always been sincere.
So he decided to say a little more, "The reason I guessed that way was because I forgot about my past."
Azik stared ahead with a slightly sad look and explained:
"Actually, before I entered the History Department of Backlund University, I lost most of my memory. I only remembered my name and basic knowledge."
"Fortunately, fortunately, I have an ID, otherwise I would have become a homeless person. Over the years, I have searched for my parents and my past based on my ID, but to no avail."
"During the years in college, I gradually discovered that I had some strange abilities that were beyond common sense, and then I guessed that it was innate."
At this point, Valeela still didn’t know what Azik meant. After all, in the original work, he and Klein had a similar conversation.
"So, you want me to help you pay attention to clues that may be related to your past?"
As she said that, she turned her head to look at Azik again, with a smile on her face.
"Yes, that's it," Azik turned around and faced her and said, "But you don't need to do it specially. Just remember it when you encounter it."
The two glances between them had similar actions, but completely different meanings.
In a short period of time, the relationship between them has jumped several levels from far to close, from a simple and not too familiar teacher-student relationship to a certain degree of companionship, with a certain degree of friendship. Mutual trust.
"OK."
Valila nodded in agreement, and suddenly her heart moved. She reported the address of the garden villa Qili left behind, and continued:
"After leaving Tingen, I will go to the capital Backlund. You can find me at this address, or you can write to me."
"I remember." Azik nodded with a smile.
He stretched out his right hand, turned sideways towards the corridor and made a "please" gesture, and said:
"I think we've talked long enough and it's time to go back."
Maybe it was because of the close relationship, maybe because of the joy of meeting similar people, or maybe it was just because of his personality... In short, after saying this, Mr. Azik suddenly chuckled and spoke a little Little joke.
"Haha, if you go back too late, there may be bad rumors. This is something I don't want to see."
Hearing this self-deprecating sentence, Valeera, who had just stepped into the corridor, stopped. After a slight pause, she did not look back and replied directly with a smile:
"Thank you, Mr. Azik is a very gentle man."
After saying that, she restarted her steps and walked forward along the corridor without waiting for Azik's reply.
