Asher took a step back, "Within two years, as long as anyone can research it out, they can become my student."
"If within two years no one researches it out...", Asher paused as he spoke, then continued under the nervous gazes of the crowd, "Then just wait until I have time again, or if I become interested, then I'll come and give you a lecture."
Many students: "…"
Everyone looked at each other.
On one hand, they felt Asher's condition was absurdly unreasonable.
On the other hand... it didn't seem that unreasonable?
They had already witnessed Asher's genius level today with their own eyes.
As students, to keep up with such a genius teacher's pace, they themselves must also be geniuses.
Ordinary genius wouldn't even be enough at that level. There's no way they could be so bad that even if the teacher was teaching, they still wouldn't understand anything, right?
Quite a few people started thinking about backing out.
But a small number of people became extremely excitd, becoming Professor Asher's student.
From what Professor Asher said, not the kind of student in a big lecture class, but the kind with private tutoring.
One-on-one or one-on-two.
In short, a premium mini-class.
Just ask, who wouldn't be moved.
Not only could they learn more techniques and skills, just the title "Asher's student" alone, their future prospects and money prospects would both be bright.
Better to take action when moved.
Don't be fooled by how two years sounds like a long time. In reality, it's not long at all. Especially when used for researching new evolution paths for pet beasts, time disappears in a blink.
"Professor Asher, can we do team research together?", a student shouted loudly.
Asher didn't hesitate at all, "Of course you can."
"Gathering the essence of everyone's thoughts and ultimately producing a result is also a good choice."
Immediately someone followed up, "Then will Professor Asher accept everyone in the team?"
This was the key.
Asher laughed when he heard this, "As long as everyone contributed, then yes."
Trying to freeload? Not allowed.
Everyone nodded one after another.
They also wouldn't find freeloaders to split their results with. They weren't crazy.
———
When this public lecture finally ended completely, it was already past lunchtime.
Asher walked down from the stage, his entire body exuding a tired aura.
"Tired, truly tired."
Iris, who had been sitting backstage, at some point walked over to Asher's side.
Upon hearing that, she looked at Asher and said jokingly, "After being tired for a morning like this, you get to fly free for an entire year."
"If I could do that, I definitely wouldn't mind being this tired once."
Hearing Iris's words, Asher thought for a moment, then nodded.
"You're right."
Asher looked sincerely at Iris, then said with a smile, "Unfortunately, Teacher Iris, you just don't have the same good luck as me."
Iris: "..."
Not throwing a white-eye directly onto Asher's face was already her being polite to him.
'Damn it! This brat is just too infuriating when he speaks.'
Even someone like Iris, who already knew Asher's personality well, couldn't help but get a little angry.
Fortunately, Iris quickly calmed down.
"That move you pulled today...", Iris started to say, then stopped herself.
Iris looked at Asher, "Tsk tsk, I can already imagine what kind of effect this public lecture will have once it's publicized."
"You didn't forget, right? Public lectures all go up on the school's official website."
Asher smiled easily and shrugged, "Naturally, I don't care at all."
"Anyway, for the next half year, I probably won't appear in the public eye again," As he spoke, Asher gave Iris a meaningful look.
"Guess who's going to be the one truly in trouble then?", After he finished speaking, Asher let out a chuckle.
Iris was silent.
Iris suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Iris reached out and grabbed Asher's clothes tightly, glaring fiercely at Asher as she said, "You're not allowed to run!"
"I'm not running, I'm reasonably scheduling my time," Asher rescued his clothes from Iris's hand.
The corner of the clothes looked all wrinkled.
But that's okay. Just smooth it out.
"For the next half year, I'm no longer Pet Beast Evolution Research Professor Asher, I'm Beast Tamer Asher."
"If anything comes up, wait until Pet Beast Evolution Research Professor Asher comes back, okay?"
Asher shamelessly played the rogue.
Iris: "..."
Iris had a splitting headache.
Just a moment ago she had been laughing at President Robb, and now she turned around and found out she might be the next one to be laughed at.
"Go go go!", Thinking of this, Iris impatiently waved her hand at Asher, "Hurry up and disappear from my sight! Otherwise, I'll really lose it!"
Asher laughed heartily, "Alrighty!"
"I'll leave right now."
After saying that, Asher really didn't hold back at all, patted his butt and vanished from Iris's sight.
So fast that Iris hadn't even reacted yet.
By the time Iris realized something was wrong...
Asher: 'I'm going home!'
'NY City, I, Asher, am back again!'
———
"Tsk tsk! As expected of Professor Asher, a man who can stir up countless bloody storms no matter when and where."
"Who says otherwise. Just look at how hot the discussion on the internet is about Professor Asher, and you'll understand."
"But this move from Professor Asher is really awesome. Talking research and then immediately evolving… this speed is like he doesn't even need to think."
"Hilarious! Some people online are saying that so-and-so was a planted shill by Professor Asher."
[Inside Asher's Research Institute]
A group of people sat together, holding their phones and discussing gossip.
Mainly gossip related to Asher.
They thought of themselves as employees under Asher's command and believed it was their duty to understand it all well.
Only then could they be the first to report to Asher when he needed it.
It was definitely not because they were curious.
Langdon Q and Lisa Q were also among the crowd.
They had been recruited back by President Robb.
Because of various reasons, coupled with the willingness of the Q siblings themselves, they chose to join Asher's research institute.
Of course, they didn't count as official staff, at most… temporary workers?
And because the personalities of the Q siblings were good, and everyone in the institute also knew who had caused the previous issues, there were no hard feelings toward them.
The two quickly blended into the institute.
"Professor Asher is really amazing..."
"When can I also become as amazing as Professor Asher..."
Langdon and Lisa looked at Asher's performance in the public class and made similar but slightly different sounds.
While speaking, the two glanced at each other.
Sarah looked at the siblings and couldn't help but laugh.
"You two should focus on your studies at your age. Who knows, maybe someday you'll also be that amazing," Sarah said with a gentle smile, not discouraging their enthusiasm.
Could Asher's talent be learned in school? Of course not.
But one had to leave some hope for others.
Langdon pouted: "...Forget it, I know my own capabilities well."
"To be as amazing as Professor Asher..."
'Hmm, better not say it.'
Langdon shook his head furiously.
Unlike Langdon's head-shaking.
Lisa's eyes sparkled, "How would you know if you don't try!"
Saying this, she gave her brother a look of disappointment, her tone full of disdain, "Brother! Being so close and not taking advantage of it, don't you feel sorry for yourself?"
"If others can do it, the two of us can also team up and try. Who knows, maybe we'll discover the evolution path of that Little Moon Fox."
Langdon: "..."
Langdon was so scolded by his sister that he didn't dare speak.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you," Seeing his sister about to get angry again, Langdon quickly agreed.
Wasn't it just teaming up with his sister.
When making potions before, they had also teamed up for research.
Now it was just repeating the previous operation, nothing too big.
Small case. Seeing Langdon agree, Lisa finally let out a sigh of relief.
They had left Q City. Got rid of that President Q guy. Mom and Dad's health was also gradually improving, and the two of them were slowly getting back on track.
The brother who was quite hardworking before now seemed to have relaxed, looking lazy and idle all the time.
Lisa couldn't beat him, and he wouldn't listen even after being scolded.
What could Lisa do?
She couldn't count on a heaven-sent hero helping them the next time something like that happened, right?
In the end, she had to become strong herself, that was the most important thing.
And after seeing the conditions implied by Asher in the final part of his public class, Lisa immediately got excited.
This was a great opportunity. Right now they were in such a good geographical position, if they didn't seize the chance, that would be unjustifiable.
In just two days.
Asher's public class spread online at a speed far beyond imagination.
It quickly radiated from Radiant City in all directions.
Many people.
Especially those in the field, saw the video.
———
In a certain special research institute in the northwest.
Many staff members in white lab coats, differing only in detail, moved around.
During meal break time, sitting in the cafeteria area, they started discussing this topic.
"That Asher, have you heard? Looks really amazing."
"Yeah, yeah! Watching him feels like a dream."
"Is this the difference between people?"
"Of course not! This is the difference between a person and a genius, got it?"
"Tsk tsk... but if Asher is really this amazing, why don't we bring him into our project? Wouldn't he generate results in minutes..."
The last staff member who spoke realized the cafeteria instantly went quiet after he finished.
The speaker's body stiffened.
He didn't dare look behind him.
Could… could he pretend like nothing happened?
Obviously, there was no running away.
The person behind didn't give him that chance.
"What are you talking about?", A voice so authoritative that it made people nauseous while eating came from behind.
The last speaker threw his colleagues a look.
Everyone looked down, staring at their food like it was some rare delicacy never seen before, needing close examination.
That last staff member: "..."
'Damn it! Where is the camaraderie we built up over time?'
'Isn't there even a little?'
If just one person had reminded him, it would have been fine.
"Uh… uh…", The staff member could only force a stiff smile, slowly, and very reluctantly, turning to look behind him.
"Professor Einvol…"
Upon seeing that face, so stern it looked like someone owed him 2.58 million, this staffer who had just mustered his courage couldn't help but stammer.
No choice. Professor Einvol's face was just too scary.
Most people couldn't even say a full sentence under Professor Einvol's gaze.
"What were you discussing."
As the most core and highest-ranking professor in pet evolution research in the institute, Einvol did not display a gentle temperament.
Gentle?
Why should he be gentle?
Research requires professionalism and focus.
A playful atmosphere was not what he wanted.
If possible, Einvol wished everyone, including himself, could be like machines, just needing regular part replacement to stay at their post 24/7 without rest.
Unfortunately, not possible.
But Einvol's policy and approach would not change.
Especially since the research project they were handling was very important, using high-pressure tactics on subordinates was totally justifiable.
Einvol stared tightly at the staffer who had spoken earlier, his expression even more stern and cold, "Who did you say could figure out our project in minutes?"
"You?"
The staffer had originally wanted to explain. But upon hearing the follow-up line from Einvol, he almost fainted.
"No no no!", The staffer didn't even dare stutter anymore.
If this misunderstanding continued, who knew where it would lead.
Not giving Einvol another chance to speak, the staffer quickly moved his mouth and explained the entire situation from beginning to end.
"That's how it was."
"Please don't misunderstand, Professor!"
"It really wasn't me! I don't have that kind of skill!"
As Einvol listened, his brows furrowed more and more.
"Asher…", When he said this name, Einvol's expression did not look good.
The other staff members glanced at each other, their eyes meeting, and they all picked up something different in Einvol's tone.
Uh… like, was it possible that their professor had a problem with this Professor Asher?
