Chapter 705: Mentor (First Update for Snow Moon Flower Guild Master!)
Doraris's gaze toward Qiao Sang suddenly changed.
At that moment, the class bell rang.
The teachers at Yulinton University never kept their students after class.
Doraris snapped back to reality and smiled, "Class dismissed."
Hearing this, the students began to pack up their things and leave one by one.
Qiao Sang joined the crowd and stood up.
Just then, Dr. Doralar's voice rang out, "This student, please stay behind for a moment."
Everyone's movements slowed, and they all turned their heads in unison, looking at the black-haired girl who had been called out.
"Me?" Qiao Sang froze, pointing at herself.
Doraris nodded slightly, "Yes."
Although the others were curious why the girl had been asked to stay, they continued to leave the classroom one by one.
Qiao Sang carried Fangy to the front of the room. Before she could speak, Doraris eagerly confirmed, "You have an Icechill from Blue Star?"
She had been researching Familiar Emotional Energy for a long time and naturally knew that Icechill was the Advanced form of the Aquariana species.
As a familiar whose entire Evolution chain required emotional energy, and each stage needed a different type of emotional energy to Evolve, it was the perfect subject for her research.
If Aquariana were just a common familiar on Blue Star, obtaining one for research wouldn't be difficult.
Unfortunately, Aquariana was an Endangered Familiar, and her application to study one had been denied.
She had thought the only chance to see an Aquariana would be if she ever visited Blue Star. Yet, today, one of her students had an Aquariana's Advanced form, an Icechill!
Doraris's excitement and anticipation were impossible for Qiao Sang to miss.
She paused and nodded, "Yes."
"Fantastic!" Doraris's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Summon it for me to see!"
Qiao Sang saw a shadow of the Ancient Fog in Dr. Doralar, but she didn't hesitate and began forming the seals.
The Amber Star Array lit up, and Lulu soon appeared within it.
This color of Star Array was not uncommon among the high-caliber students at Yulinton University.
Doraris instinctively ignored the color of the Star Array, her entire focus on the Endangered Familiar she had only seen in data.
This is Icechill... Doraris couldn't resist reaching out to touch it.
"Icechill."
Lulu was in a bad mood and, seeing a human who wasn't her Beastmaster reaching out, lashed out with her tail, striking the other's hand.
Qiao Sang was startled and quickly apologized, "Sorry, Professor, my Icechill doesn't like to be touched by others."
"No problem", Doraris withdrew her hand and said gently, "I understand. Although Aquarianas are generally peaceful and have good temperaments, their moods can change at each stage of Evolution due to the emotional energy they require."
Qiao Sang was a bit surprised, "You know a lot about the Aquariana species?"
Doraris smiled, "Not particularly, but as an expert in Familiar Emotional Energy, I've reviewed a lot of data on familiars that heavily rely on or Evolve through emotional energy."
That makes sense... Qiao Sang understood.
Before coming, she had looked up Dr. Doralar's background and knew she had been researching familiars' emotional energy for a long time.
No wonder she recognized Lulu and was interested in her...
At that moment, Doraris looked at Qiao Sang seriously, "Would you be interested in becoming my student?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback.
During the university years, students could freely choose their courses and instructors based on their learning needs and interests.
However, this is a mutual selection process.
Students can apply, and teachers can also reject them.
Each mentor has a limited number of slots each year, especially at top academies like Yulinton University, where the slots for students are not given out lightly.
She didn't expect that the first person to extend an invitation to her would not be a teacher in the Familiar Battle department.
But she understood why Dr. Doralar suddenly brought this up.
It wasn't because he was interested in her, but because he was interested in Lulu.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, "I'm an exchange student and will be leaving next semester."
Exchange student? Doraris said eagerly, "That's not a problem. You can apply to transfer, and I'll take care of the rest."
Qiao Sang quietly glanced at Dr. Doralar.
"Do you not want to transfer to our school?" Doraris asked hesitantly.
Qiao Sang was silent for a couple of seconds. "I attend the Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
Doraris fell silent for a moment. After a while, she composed her expression and spoke gently, "Even just one semester is fine. I can be your mentor for the next six months."
She paused and added, "The questions you asked in class were probably to prepare for Icechill's next stage of evolution. I can't guarantee anything in other areas, but I have conducted in-depth research on Familiar Emotional Energy and have received many accolades. I can definitely help you."
"Icechill..."
Lulu's tail stiffened at the mention of her name.
Evolution?
Are they talking about me?
Lulu couldn't help but look at her Beastmaster.
While Lulu could certainly evolve using Points, if she could evolve like other Icechills... Qiao Sang, thinking this, nodded without hesitation. "I'm willing."
"Icechill..."
Lulu's tail swished once, and her eyes showed a rare hint of excitement.
Doraris smiled. "Let's exchange contact information. You can ask me any questions at any time. You don't need to apply to choose me as your mentor; I'll register it directly."
"Alright." Qiao Sang nodded.
...
Leaving the main building, Qiao Sang checked the time and realized her original class was still in session. She headed to Beastmaster Class 1.
It was the break time, so Qiao Sang wasn't worried and walked in, carrying Fangy.
As soon as she entered, she noticed everyone was staring at her, and some were even covering their mouths to stifle their laughter, a stark contrast to their previous reluctance to make eye contact with her.
"Did something happen?" Qiao Sang, sensing something was off, sat down next to the red-haired girl who had spoken to her before.
The red-haired girl turned to her with a complex expression.
Seeing her expression, Qiao Sang felt a sudden unease.
Why does her look seem so full of sympathy?
Is she feeling sorry for me? Qiao Sang had a bad feeling and asked again, "What exactly happened?"
"You'll see when you look." The red-haired girl handed her a mobile phone.
Qiao Sang took the phone, half curious and half confused, and saw a paused video on the screen.
The figure and clothing in the video were very familiar.
She played it.
"Here!"
The voice was also very familiar.
The next second, Qiao Sang understood—it was her.
More precisely, it was the Mimic Puppet imitating her.
What's so interesting about this? Qiao Sang was about to ask.
But then, another loud "Here!" sounded from the video.
Qiao Sang stared at the screen and realized that ten seconds later, "she" shouted "Here!" again.
Qiao Sang handed the phone back and asked, "Why are you showing me this video on loop?"
The red-haired girl looked at her with sympathy. "It's not on loop."
Qiao Sang: "???"
At that moment, another sympathetic voice from nearby said, "Qiao Sang, the class teacher asked you to come back and see her."
Qiao Sang: "..."
