Chapter 88 Overnight
A bit beyond Lin Tianlang's expectation, Shirley stayed overnight on the weekend and would not go home.
"Aren't you going back?" Lin Sirius was packing his schoolbag after school on Friday afternoon. The students next to them were also packing their belongings and preparing to go home. Only the blonde girl was sitting quietly in her seat reading a book, not moving at all.
"No." Sherry shook her head slightly and replied. After thinking about it, she added: "It was the same when I was at St. Fodan College. I'm used to it."
"Oh, so that's it." Lin Tianlang nodded, expressing understanding. In addition, this seemed to be the longest sentence he had ever heard Sherry say. There were multiple commas in the sentence instead of just one period.
"In that case, let me stay too." Lin Tianlang said naturally without thinking too much.
"Why?" Sheris turned her face sideways, and there was a trace of ripples in the originally calm expression on her face.
"You have almost mastered the basic potion. If you work hard and practice more during the weekend, you should be able to master it on Monday. If you only come to practice on Monday, I'm afraid it will be too late before the potion class on Tuesday." Lin Sirius replied.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianlang couldn't help but sigh. If the deadline given by Griffin wasn't so close, there would be no need to be in such a hurry. Now I have no choice but to take the speed pass route.
"Would it be too much trouble for you?" Sherry asked.
"Trouble? No, no, no, why is it troublesome!" Lin Tianlang said quickly: "Rather, I just want you to learn it quickly for my own consideration. Because if you can't master the basic potions before next Tuesday, With the refining technique, I might be killed by Griffin."
"Teacher Griffin will not kill you." Sherry said for no reason.
"I'm just exaggerating." Lin Tianlang said with a smile: "As for you, if you practice for two days on the weekend, it might be a bit boring. Don't be annoyed."
"Refining medicine is fun and not boring." Sherry shook her head slightly.
"That's good." Lin Tianlang nodded. Since he decided to stay overnight, there was no need for him to pack his schoolbag. Put down your schoolbag, take your phone and leave the classroom. Since I won't be home on the weekend, I still have to call home. This is simple, just go out from the north gate, make a phone call to the human world and come back.
"Dad, I have something to do at school this weekend, so I won't be going home." Lin Tianlang said after leaving the north gate and dialing his dad's phone number.
"That's it, okay, you're such a big guy anyway, just take care of yourself!" Lin Tianlang's father was cheerful and agreed immediately.
Hang up the phone and go back to school. Back in the classroom, the students had almost left, and only a few were left. Of the more than forty people in Lin Tianlang's class, only a handful of them stay overnight on weekends.
Sitting back on his seat, Lin Tianlang suddenly found that he didn't seem to know what to do. If it had been before, I would have been scrolling through my phone on the way home. Now, because there is no network, the mobile phone is just a useless brick.
Lin Sirius suddenly wanted to buy a game console, so that he would have entertainment tools to pass the time in the magic world in the future.
He looked around the classroom with bored eyes. The classroom was very quiet, and the remaining students who stayed overnight basically had no communication. They all sat in their seats to read and study by themselves.
Lin Tianlang glanced at the side. Sheris was holding the Potions textbook in her hand, and she was looking at it in fascination.
"Classmate Shiris, I wanted to ask you this before. Did your previous school... not teach potions at all?" Lin Sirius asked. Rather than reading a book, Lin Tianlang thought that chatting with Sherry might be a better choice. Of course, the premise is that if the other party is willing to deal with you.
"St. Fodan College... is a school for aristocrats." Sherrys replied, but the content seemed to have nothing to do with the question asked by Sirius Lin.
"Uh, so what?" Lin Sirius scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Because you are a noble, there is no need to learn the work of refining potions." Sherry continued.
"The aristocratic school teaches very little about the application and practice of magic. It teaches more about aristocratic etiquette and political aspects." Sherry said softly, looking a little lonely.
"That's right... that's quite boring." Lin Tianlang responded: "In other words, student Sherry prefers practical content?"
"Yeah." Shirley nodded.
"That's good. I thought nobles, princesses and young ladies like you would like to be the kind of person who gives guidance to the country from above." Lin Tianlang said with a smile.
"Um...actually I..." After hearing what Lin Sirius said, Shirley bit her lip, as if she wanted to explain something, but gave up.
"Oh, by the way, there's another thing I've wanted to ask for a long time. Have you and Griffin... met before?" Lin Sirius pretended to be nonchalant. In fact, this question was the biggest confusion in his heart. After this week, almost everyone in the class discovered that Griffin's attitude towards Sherry seemed to be particularly gentle.
Of course, this kind of gentleness is not the kind of gentleness, it's just that the aggression is not so strong. But there is no harm without comparison. A Griffin who is not aggressive is already a very gentle performance.
In just a few days, several versions of rumors have been circulating in the class. It is said that Griffin is actually a member of the Sherlis family, so he does not dare to offend his eldest lady.
The second reason is that Sherry is the princess of the Elf Kingdom, and Griffin wants to cling to this giant, so he wants to please Sherry. In fact, Lin Tianlang was speechless at this point, at least he never noticed when Griffin had made any move to please Sherry.
The third argument is somewhat similar to the first one. It also means that Sherry's status is very noble, and Griffin has known her before, so he doesn't dare to scold and offend her easily.
"Yeah." Shirley nodded.
This surprised Lin Tianlang. He didn't expect Sherry to admit it so easily.
"Before...he was my aunt's classmate. I met him when I was very young." Sherry said softly.
"Ah, that's it... I didn't expect that you have such a relationship with him." Lin Tianlang suddenly realized, and then he immediately became gossipy: "Hey, what was he like before?"
"Buddha...Mr. Griffin's character before was actually similar to now. He used to be a little more cheerful than he is now." Sherry thought for a while and said.
"He used to visit his aunt often, so he met her many times."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Griffin was still a normal person when he was young!" Lin Sirius laughed.
Sheris didn't speak, but maybe because she was chatting with Lin Tianlang, the book in her hand hadn't been turned to the next page for a long time.
"By the way, what was the campus environment like at St. Buddha's College where you used to stay? How does it compare with here?" Now that we've started chatting and passed the initial awkward period, things will be much better later on. Lin Tianlang was already running out of words to talk to. Anyway, the blonde girl was willing to chat with him, so she might as well chat for a longer time, not only to pass the time, but also to get to know his new deskmate. After all, we are going to be companions for a year from now on.
"I don't like it there." Shirley gave the answer immediately without any hesitation: "It's very good here. The teachers are very good, and the classmates are also very good."
"I guess so. It's an aristocratic school. There must be all kinds of intrigues in the school." Lin Tianlang said.
"Yes." Sherry nodded in affirmation.
"Oh, yes, and..."
"..."
The two of them continued chatting for a while. After it got late, they went to the restaurant to eat and then returned to the dormitory.
The next day, Saturday, there was nothing to do anyway, so Lin Tianlang slept until ten in the morning. I got up slowly and waited until I finished washing and taking care of myself. It was almost eleven o'clock. A whole morning was wasted like this, but anyway, the appointment time with Sherry was at two o'clock in the afternoon, so there was really no rush now.
Without a computer or mobile phone, Lin Sirius didn't know what to do. I wandered around the school for a while and then ran to the school library. I originally wanted to find some books to read, but I happened to meet Sherry here again.
This girl seemed to like reading books very much. When Lin Sirius saw her, she was sitting in the middle of two rows of bookshelves, quietly reading a book called "Stories of Potion Masters". She was so fascinated that she didn't even notice Lin Tianlang approaching from the side.
"What a coincidence, are you reading here too?" Lin Tianlang asked with a smile. If it were Aniya, Lin Tianlang would be shocked. But Shirley just slowly raised her head, not at all frightened.
"Yeah." Sherry's answer is always so simple.
"I won't disturb you, just read slowly. We'll meet in the alchemy room at two o'clock in the afternoon, remember." Lin Sirius smiled and left to pick out his own books.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two people arrived at the alchemy room almost at the same time. Without saying anything to each other, they started the potion refining operation in a tacit understanding.
Sherry's technique has become much more proficient, and she no longer needs Lin Tianlang's manual demonstration. He only needs to be by his side occasionally to remind and give pointers.
After working hard all afternoon, Sherry finally completed a pot of basic potion without Lin Tianlang's intervention. Although it was not perfect, it was at least up to standard.
After a complete operation, the rest is consolidation practice.
On Sunday, after another afternoon of hard work, Sherry's refining technique was completely OK. She could complete the refining of the potion by herself without relying on Lin Tianlang's prompts and with the whole book closed.
"Congratulations! You can graduate from being a teacher!" Looking at the pot of clear light blue potion in front of him, Lin Sirius gave a thumbs up with a smile. With this level of medicine, there is absolutely no problem in handling Tuesday's test.
"Sorry to trouble you, it has taken up a lot of your time this week." Sherry said softly.
In any case, the teacher was very successful this time. Lin Sirius touched his nose proudly, feeling extremely comfortable.
