Chapter 4335 Merlin and Yekaterin
Yekaren walked along the streets in the light rain.
Even though half an hour had passed and his excitement had subsided somewhat, he still felt a little dazed, as if everything before him was unreal.
because--
He... he actually saw Mr. Angell!
Moreover, the principal of the Fool's City is none other than Mr. Angell!
The thought of Angell made Yekaren feel the excitement she had just suppressed surge up again, as if a raging fire was burning in her chest, and even her fingertips were trembling.
As for why he was so excited, it all started with Yekaren's identity.
Yekaren was human, but he didn't really identify with humanity very well.
Since he has memories, he has been learning, living and growing in the Yorozuya. Humans are not the mainstream in the Yorozuya, and humans rarely appear in the Day Mirror Domain where the Yorozuya is located.
Having not grown up in an environment with human groups, he naturally had little real sense of the identity label of "human".
Yorozuya is a place with strict rules and regulations.
When he was just an ordinary employee, he was completely ignorant about everything and only knew how to complete his daily work step by step. Later, he worked hard to hone his skills and stayed up countless days and nights. He finally became a hollow-person lecturer and gained some authority to touch the "truth".
Upon gaining access, he couldn't wait to check his origins.
Then he learned that he had once been a hollow person.
It was a "goods" that Koya-sen salvaged from the Sea of Empty Mirrors, which was eventually sold to Yorozuya.
Although Yekaren had expected it, he was still somewhat disappointed after learning the truth... He had originally thought that he might be able to find his true origin, but now there was nothing he could do.
Hollows out, washed away by the sea of empty mirrors, will never find their way home; this is an almost unbreakable iron law.
Yekaren quickly resigned herself to her fate.
He himself had no memories of his past as the Hollow Man; his language, his skills, everything about him had taken root and sprouted within the Yorozuya, so he felt no aversion to "accepting his fate." However, from that time on, he couldn't help but glance at the humans who occasionally arrived in the Daytime Mirror Realm from the outside world, a quiet curiosity creeping into his heart:
Will they come from their hometown? What is their hometown like?
Despite his curiosity, he still didn't identify much with his human identity.
Because in the Mirror of Daylight, humans are not only a marginalized group, but also lack any powerful leaders.
Like a rootless blade of grass, it falls over with a gust of wind, lacking even the slightest bit of confidence to inspire awe.
If a person loses their roots or fails to identify with them, they will inevitably fall into a vortex of self-doubt... Yekaren often experienced this.
After each time he finished taking care of the "hollow people" (a group of people who had been exposed to the virus), he would stare blankly at their sleeping faces, thinking about their past, their future... and his own past and future.
Who is he? Where did he come from? And where is he going?
What is a dream? What is a goal?
This sense of confusion may not bring heavy burdens directly, but it's like a drop of ink staining a pure white life. It slowly changes him, making him more and more adrift, more and more... humble.
Without external forces, this change will continue until he becomes completely numb and loses himself.
But just then, Angell arrived in the Mirror Realm of Daylight like a bright and dazzling light.
Not only did he become the sole savior in the face of calamity and apocalypse, but he also shone his light upon all races in the entire Mirror Realm of the Sun, bringing the Crystal Origin of Dreams and the hope of new life!
Yekaren still remembered the shock and... his surprise when he first learned of Angell's actions from the deacon.
It turns out that humans can be this amazing!
It turns out that humans can also overshadow the geniuses of the entire White Sun Mirror Domain!
What a shock! It was like parched land suddenly receiving a torrential downpour. The emptiness that had been weighing on his heart finally settled down at that moment.
For the first time, he felt a sense of "identification" with the human being.
It was also because of this "identity" that his confused mind found an anchor.
From then on, Yekaren never felt lost again, nor did she stare blankly at the hollow man. And the reason for all of this was "Anger".
Yekaren once asked himself, was he a fan of Angell?
Does he count? I don't think so, he's not that crazy.
But it can also be said that, because of Angell's existence, he had an anchor point for his heart.
However, whether it counts or not, Angell is a special existence for Yekaren.
So when he suddenly saw Angell at the gates of the City of Fools, he was completely stunned.
He never imagined that he would meet Angell in this way, in this place.
He never imagined that the person he had looked up to for countless days and nights was actually the headmaster of this Fools' Academy!
This is simply unreal.
It wasn't until he reached his hand out of the umbrella and felt the dampness of the raindrops on the back of his hand that he regained a sense of reality.
He really did come to Dream Crystal Plains, and he really met the person who changed the course of his life.
Just as Yekaren was drifting in a daze, someone next to him nudged him: "Hey, what are you still daydreaming about? Hurry up and move along, or you won't be able to keep up with Lord Merlin."
The person who pushed him was a colleague who had entered the City of Fools with him, and also a subordinate of the deacon.
As soon as the other person finished speaking, a girl in front of them seemed to have overheard their conversation and turned around to remind them, "Principal Merlin said before that in the Academy City, we shouldn't address people as 'sir' or 'adult,' but rather by their titles!"
Yekaren's colleague sighed, but muttered under his breath, "Even though it's Vice Principal Merlin, you're still sucking up to him."
Upon hearing this, Yekaren felt that the girl wasn't flattering him.
He had heard Angell address Merlin as "Principal Merlin" before, and since even Angell accepted this title, it was fine for them to address the principal as well!
As Yekaren was thinking this, the girl turned her head again and said, "Hey, you two, stop dawdling and hurry up. It's not because anyone is rushing us, but the mechanical carriage is about to depart. If you don't come now, you'll miss it!"
Yekaren looked up and saw a mechanical carriage parked at one end of the street.
The faculty and staff who came out with them were already lining up to board the bus.
Seeing this, Yekaren dared not delay any longer and quickly chased after them.
Despite rushing, Yekaren was still the last to board the carriage, and once on board, he discovered a somewhat troublesome situation... all the seats in the mechanical carriage were occupied, with only one empty seat next to someone.
And that person was... Principal Merlin!
Clearly, those who boarded earlier were hesitant to sit next to Merlin and made way for him.
Now he was all alone, and he either had to stand or sit down... He really didn't dare to sit down; but if he didn't sit down, he was worried that Principal Merlin would think he was discriminating against him.
Yekaren's mind raced, but she ultimately sat down next to Principal Merlin without changing her expression.
More than the question of whether he dared to do it, he was afraid that Principal Merlin would misunderstand.
Yekaren bowed to Principal Merlin before sitting down. Once seated, he dared not look around and could only keep his eyes down, appearing completely frozen.
Just then, a soft laugh came from the side: "Teacher Yekalen, am I that scary?"
Yekaren was startled, then turned around abruptly, looking at Merlin with surprise and doubt.
How could he know my name?
"Don't be surprised. Now that I've come to work at the City of Learning, I naturally want to get to know my colleagues better." Merlin's voice was relaxed, warm, and approachable.
"I remember you were chatting enthusiastically with a lot of people at the players' camp, including some you were meeting for the first time, right?" Merlin: "How come you could chat with them back then, but couldn't chat with me?"
Merlin's words once again proved that he had indeed been paying attention to his movements.
"I just didn't expect that Principal Merlin would pay attention to someone as insignificant as me..." Yekaren lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"To be able to resolutely step onto the school campus at this time and take over the baton of teaching and nurturing students, this is no small feat," Merlin said.
"Besides, Principal Angel asked you about it before, so don't underestimate yourselves."
Yekaren ignored Merlin's other words, focusing all her attention on the question: "Did Principal Angor ask me about it?"
Merlin noticed that Yekaren had changed "we" to "I," and a hint of amusement flashed in his pale red eyes. He did not refute it, but simply lowered his eyes and said softly, "Yes, before I decided to come out, I had a private talk with Principal Angel, handed over the mission, and discussed the future."
"In it, they also talked about some things concerning the faculty and staff, and mentioned your group of people who came from the Yorozuya."
Yekaren was so excited that she almost stammered, "What did Principal Angel say? Is there anything he needs me to do? I will definitely do it!"
Merlin seemed to see through Yekaren's thoughts and gently shook his head: "Principal Angle is just surprised that the first batch of faculty and staff will include human teachers."
Upon learning that the attention wasn't due to her, Yekaren was somewhat disappointed, but upon reflection, she realized it made sense.
After all, there are very few humans in the Mirror of Daylight, so it's normal for Angel to be curious when he suddenly sees humans.
“I explained your situation to Principal Angell, and I also mentioned your name,” Merlin said with a smile.
"Principal Merlin mentioned my name?" Yekaren was surprised again. Had his name already reached Angell's ears?
Merlin nodded: "Principal Angle was very curious about the teachers sent by the Yorozuya, so I used you as an example, saying that you are the teachers of the Hollows... and have very rich experience in teaching the Hollows."
"I imagine you can apply your past educational experience at the Fools' City."
Although Yekaren was happy that his name was mentioned, he quickly shook his head: "No, my experience is limited to teaching hollow people. I can't help ordinary people."
That's why Yekaren was somewhat surprised when she learned that she was going to come to the Citadel to be a teacher.
His knowledge was not actually very extensive, and he felt that he was hardly worthy of the title of teacher.
Merlin didn't follow his lead, but instead chuckled, his narrow red eyes flashing: "Do you know why the City of Fools is called the Fools?"
Yekaren shook her head in confusion.
Merlin: "At first I didn't quite understand either, but after talking with Principal Angel, I realized that the meaning of 'fool' is exactly what it sounds like."
Yekaren: "Literal meaning? Fool...a dull person?"
Merlin nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, a large number of students will soon enter the City of Fools, and every one of them is a fool."
"You can also think of them as... hollow people."
"So, do you understand now?" Merlin said, "Your experience is very important to the Fool's Academy. Headmaster Angle was also very pleased when he learned about your situation."
"He asked me to tell you that perhaps after you complete the teacher's assigned task, you can apply for higher permissions."
"As a single mentor, you can only teach a limited number of students, but if you can share your experience with more teachers, that would be the greatest blessing!"
Upon hearing Angell ask him to apply for higher permissions, Yekaren inexplicably felt an immense sense of responsibility.
This was a task personally assigned by Angell, and he had to complete it!
Yekaren pursed her lips tightly and nodded solemnly: "I will not stop at Level 4. After I complete the exclusive tasks of a regular mentor, I will definitely continue to apply for higher levels!"
Merlin smiled, then, seeing Yekaren's excited expression, gently patted his shoulder: "Principal Angor has high hopes for you. I hope you won't let him down..."
Yekaren's back was taut, and she said loudly, "No way!"
He will absolutely not let Principal Angel down!
Merlin's eyes flickered, and he nodded to himself: Another one done.
"We have arrived at Brunfleur Street. Passengers who need to disembark, please prepare to get off." At this moment, a metallic mechanical voice came from inside the carriage.
Merlin stood up and said to Yekaren beside him, who seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, "Let's get off. We need to take a good look around this city later; after all, it holds immense potential for the future..."
After Merlin got out of the car, he did not wait for Yekaren, but walked over to a scholar named Pirushau.
Merlin's whispers drifted on the wind: "Pilush is a good race; the rumors outside shouldn't be taken seriously... You'll become a good teacher; perhaps you could try..."
Yekaren felt something was off, but remembering the encouragement Angel had given him, he ignored the immediate situation and silently pondered how to complete the task Angel had assigned him.
……
On the other side, atop a building near the city gate, Angel slowly opened his eyes.
He had been observing Merlin from a god-like perspective.
The main point is that Merlin has only just arrived at Fools' City and hasn't even explored the school district yet, but he says he wants to go see the city outside the school district first.
The idea was to get a general understanding first in order to better fulfill the vice principal's duties.
Angell had no choice but to agree.
Then Merlin asked if anyone wanted to go see the City of College, and then set off on his journey with a large group of employees who were curious about the City of College.
Ingres was curious about Merlin's behavior, so he secretly observed him from a god-like perspective.
It turns out that Merlin was indeed studying the various rules governing the operation of the city.
In addition, he would also communicate with different faculty and staff members, but what he called communication was actually... deception.
Just now, he saw Merlin on the mechanical carriage, using him as a figurehead, and making Yekaren seem as if she had been injected with adrenaline...
