Chapter 2188 - A Studious Girl

Mo Fan could tell Miyamoto Shin had great respect for the student union’s president by his tone. He might have acted humbly in front of Herr Casa previously, but he was only going through the motions. However, he was doubtful and surprised when he saw the beautiful girl who looked like a purple elf. He did not understand why Sharjah would attend a guest lecturer’s class.

Perhaps she really was interested in the possibility of merging different Elements?

However, was it really possible to merge different Elements? Every Element was incompatible with other Elements. Many scholars of the Magic Associations had tried accumulating the energy of different Elements in a confined space, but there were only two outcomes. They would either stay on one side without interfering with one another, like two different gases, or cause an Elemental explosion.

The energy had to remain stable before it was used as magic power. Otherwise, Mages would hurt themselves when they were Casting spells. The reason why Mages practiced controlling the Stars was to ensure the stability of their Elements!

How bizarre would it be to merge different Elements? Or perhaps Sharjah was attracted by Mo Yifan’s traits?

Miyamoto Shin had been a member of the main party in the student union for many years. He was familiar with Sharjah’s personality. It was unheard of to see her asking a lecturer for private tutoring like a good student!

“You’re interested in the topic of merging different Elements?” Mo Fan watched her closely.

She was indeed very pretty. Mo Fan rarely described a foreign woman as pretty, but Sharjah was definitely one of them. She did not have defined facial features like most Europeans. Her delicate face, nose, and eyes were quite attractive, like a piece of tanzanite!

“Mm, I’m very interested. If we could merge different Elements, I believe it might affect the status of Forbidden Mages,” Sharjah replied, very seriously.

There were other members of the student union in the restaurant, but most of them were here to fawn upon the lecturers. The smiles on their faces clearly hinted that they were here for socializing purposes instead of seeking knowledge.

Sharjah was completely different from them. She did not smile when she faced Mo Fan. If it wasn’t for her attractive looks, he might have assumed she was a pedant who did not fit in the setting, especially if she put on a pair of glasses.

“Sharjah, the Forbidden Curses are the fruit of human intelligence. The Forbidden Mages deserve the utmost respect. If you insist on thinking highly of other forbidden spells that aren’t approved by the Magic Association, those old monsters in our school might give you a warning!” A middle-aged woman who seemed to have heard their conversation came over just then.

“Demon creatures are evolving continuously. How can we afford to be at a standstill? The Forbidden Curses might be powerful, but they are not enough to solve the crisis we are facing!” Sharjah replied without turning around.

The middle-aged woman was the person in charge of the academic exchange program. Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan were late and missed the opening ceremony, so they had not met her before.

She had a broad mink fur belt tied around her waist. Her slightly plump body had the smell of expensive perfume. Mo Fan felt his nose itch a little, mainly because the woman had put on too much of the stuff. He preferred Sharjah’s scent. It was completely natural, unlike the smell of perfume. He wondered how it would taste if he licked… oh no, he was starting to think like Zhao Manyan!

“But merging different Elements is nowhere as powerful as the Forbidden Curses,” the woman, named Yesemia, said promptly.

“Not everyone can learn the Forbidden Curses, thus having another Forbidden Curse isn’t really any great help to us. But if there was a new form of magic, for example merging different Elements, Mages across the world would have more ways of using their magic, hence increasing the overall strength of mankind,” Sharjah refuted calmly.

Yesemia smiled helplessly. She patted on Sharjah’s shoulder softly like she was her mentor and said consolingly, “But it’s never going to happen.”

“The leaders of the tribes during the era of the ancient gods didn’t think magic was a possibility, either,” Sharjah answered evenly.

“That’s enough, Sharjah, you are wasting your time on things like this again. If you don’t take everything so seriously, you would be more lovable, just like your appearance.” Yesemia stopped arguing with Sharjah and walked elegantly to the center of the hall.

Sharjah ignored her, fixing her attractive eyes on Mo Fan again.

At that moment, Mo Fan had a feeling everyone else in the restaurant was a different kind of person than her. Only he shared the same ideas as she did.

Mo Fan found himself in an awkward position.

It was obvious that Sharjah was serious about looking for a new form of magic. Mo Fan also agreed with her statements!

Not everyone could learn the Forbidden Curses, but by merging different Elements, it would increase the strength of Mages as a whole!

He remembered how excited Feng Zhoulong was when he explained the concept to Mo Fan. He claimed he was going to change the world with his experiments, and now, Mo Fan had found a foreign girl who shared the same ideas as him!

“It’s rare for us to gather here. I shall give the lecturers from different renowned institutes across the world a toast. Welcome to the Aorus Sacred Institute!” Yesemia called out, raising her glass.

Everyone raised their glasses too. The discussions in smaller circles soon escalated to a bigger stage.

Mo Fan subconsciously raised his glass as well. He caught a glimpse of the annoyed look in Sharjah’s eyes. She slowly raised her glass, then placed it down without taking a sip. She stood beside Mo Fan like she was waiting for the gathering to end.

What an interesting girl. Mo Fan was amused.

She was not annoyed because of Yesemia’s words, but the fact that she had taken his attention, making it difficult for her to ask Mo Fan more questions about merging different Elements.

It was rare to see someone so eager to learn!

“Sharjah, as the president of the student union, is there something you would like to say?” Yesemia asked.

“No,” Sharjah answered decisively. She was reluctant to move half a step away from Mo Fan, like she was afraid Mo Fan would run away!

“If you really have questions, we can meet up again next time. I’ll tell you everything I know. You don’t have to stand beside me like a bodyguard.” Mo Fan was at something of a loss for words.

How stubborn could she be?

“Are you sure? I thought you weren’t willing to arrange a meeting with me,” Sharjah smiled. Her smile could melt everything.

Mo Fan felt an electric shock surging within him. He coughed and said, “It’s not like I can say no when you are watching me like that!”
