Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn’t mess around

She sighed softly, “Your college is not on holiday, it’s just gone.”
Leila opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she heard. “How is this possible? The Minglun School is one of the six major schools, and the sage of the school, Azar, is a great sage.”
When Falushan heard this, she realized that this child had not surfed in the void for a long time and didn’t even know about the great sage’s crime of imprisoning gods.
“Leila, go and have a look in the void. I hope you can hold on!” Falushan patted her shoulder gently.
Leila immediately said to herself, “May you be able to hear the voice of God’s wisdom.”
A screen immediately appeared in front of her eyes. She silently thought about what she wanted to know, and soon the information she wanted appeared on the screen.
The first piece of information was extremely explosive. The great sage Azar imprisoned the great King of the Little Lucky Grass for power and desire! At the same time, he also built a new god under his control to replace the King of the Little Lucky Grass. Half of the decrees and scholars of the decree court were involved.
When Leila saw this, she felt like Barbara touching the electric switch – numb.
Now everyone in Xumi knows that it was the Little King of Auspicious Grass who created the Xumi Rainforest and bestowed wisdom on the people through the Ministry of Education, allowing them to live a healthy life.
How dare Azar and the people of the House of the Decrees be so cruel and treasonous!
The second piece of information talks about the reform of the Council of the Decrees. In the future, the Council of the Decrees will exist as a purely academic institution. The former secretary Elhaisen will temporarily serve as the Grand Sage of the Council of the Decrees. The Minglun School was identified as pseudoscience and had no academic value, so it was ruled to be abolished.
This time, Leila couldn’t bear it anymore. She was a student majoring in theoretical astrology, and the Minglun School was identified as pseudoscience, which meant that her years of research were worthless.
After saying goodbye to Falushan in a hurry, she walked quickly towards the office of the Great Sage. She wanted to clear the name of astrology and prove that it was not a pseudoscience.
After walking through the long corridor, she came to the door of the Great Sage’s office, pushed it open and walked in.
As soon as she came in, she saw Elhaisen having an intense discussion with a young man, and he didn’t even notice her coming in.
“Oppenheimer, I strongly disagree with your idea. If the college cooperates with those businessmen, then academics will no longer be pure and scholars will become eager for quick success.” Elhaisen said righteously.
The young man spoke fiercely, “Elhaisen, you have to understand that not everyone is rich like you. Most scholars have a hard life. The reason why they support Azar’s bullshit god-making plan is because Azar promises them fame and fortune. You are just talking without any consideration!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Elhaisen blushed. “Although I’m rich, I usually live a relatively poor life. If scholars can’t calm down and indulge in material desires, how can they produce academic results? I’m the Great Sage of the Church Council now, and I have the final say!”
Leila saw the two people arguing with red faces and hesitated whether to interrupt them. But when she thought about the fact that her academic achievements of several years were about to be wasted, she mustered up her courage and said, “Excuse me, Secretary Elhaisen, no, Lord Sage Elhaisen, may I ask why you believe that the Minglun School is a pseudoscience?”
After hearing her words, Elhaisen and Ueno Chiki realized that there was another person in the office.
Elhaisen frowned and said to Ueno Chiki: “The Minglun School is pseudoscience. You were the first to propose it. Please explain it to her.”
“Don’t you agree too?” Ueno Chiki replied unhappily.
Then he turned to Laila and said, “Because the sky reflects truth and writes destiny. There is absolutely no basis for it. It is completely fabricated.”
Leila was stunned. The sky reflects truth and writes destiny. This is the theoretical basis of the Minglun School and is regarded as the truth by them. “How is this possible?”
“Why does the sky reflect the truth? How does it write destiny? All the academic papers of the Minglun School are just inferences, or inferences upon inferences. They have not been tested at all, and there is no actual data to support them. To put it bluntly, it’s complete nonsense!” Ueno Chiki criticized harshly.
He also knew a truth, that is, the starry sky of Teyvat was a false sky. But the truth could not be made public, otherwise it would likely lead to justice.
After thinking for a moment, Leila immediately retorted: “But after very hard statistical research, we have come to many regular conclusions.”
“Ms. Leila, please read those regular conclusions from beginning to end. How did they come about? And these conclusions basically cannot withstand rigorous scrutiny. In addition, the Minglun School took the research funds provided by the people of Xumi, but did not make any contribution or provide any social value! So, what is the point of this pseudoscience?”
Ueno Chiki had a look of disdain on his face. It was hard to imagine that such a ridiculous thing could happen in Xumi, a country of wisdom!
“Oppenheimer, although I hate you, I agree with your point of view. Astrology is really useless. Setting up a roadside stall can deceive ignorant passers-by.” Elhaisen said bluntly.
Chapter 162 Oppenheimer’s Lecture
Leila walked out of the Great Sage’s office with heavy steps. Her face was pale and her eyes were dull, as if she had lost her soul.
As a scholar, she could not accept the fact that she was suddenly told that the results of her hard work were worthless.
However, he could not refute what Oppenheimer said.
The Ministry of Education has been studying astrology for a thousand years, but has not produced any research results of practical value.
Is my future to be setting up a stall on the roadside, holding a crystal ball and fooling the ignorant people?
She felt deeply confused about her life and didn’t know where to go.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded behind her, “Leila, are you okay?”
Leila was a little surprised by the familiar and kind voice. She turned around and found it was Falushan whom she had just met in the morning.
“Senior Falushan, what should I do?” Her voice was full of helplessness.
Falushan sighed softly, walked up to her, held her in her arms, and gently stroked her hair with her hands.
“Senior Falushan, do you also think that the Minglun faction should be abolished?” Leila asked softly.
Falushan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth. “Astrology still has its merits, but it should actually be classified as mysticism.”
She said it very tactfully, but Leila still understood what she meant. Astrology is not a science.
“Why is this happening?” Leila’s faith completely collapsed at this moment, and her tears flowed like a dam bursting, wetting her and Falushan’s clothes.
After a long time, Leila’s crying gradually subsided, and her mood slowly recovered from the sadness. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, then raised her head and looked at Falushan.
“Senior Falushan, I will follow you and learn from you in the future.” She said with a sob, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
When Falushan heard what Leila said, she immediately smiled brightly. She was worried that she didn’t have many students, and now Leila took the initiative to ask her to learn, which made her very happy.
“Okay, Leila, I will teach you well.” Farusan replied gently.
After a while, Leila finally calmed down. She left Faluzan’s arms and stood aside to sort out her emotions.
“Senior Falusan, will there only be five schools left in the Academy of Teachings in the future?” she asked, her voice still a little hoarse.
Faluzan shook her head and replied, “No, the Order of the Church will still have six schools. The Minglun School will be replaced by the Seventh School.”
“The Seventh School?” Leila asked in confusion. She had heard that the Order had such a school many years ago, but she was not very clear about the details.
“Yes, Saint Oppenheimer will join the College of the Decrees as a sage of the seventh school, replacing the original Minglun School.” Falusan’s tone was full of admiration for Oppenheimer.
Leila was curious about Oppenheimer, so she asked, “Can you tell me about Oppenheimer?”
Falushan thought for a moment, then said, “There will be a class of his later. I’ll take you to listen to it, and you’ll probably get to know him better.”
Leila nodded to show her agreement.
Then, Falusan personally took Leila to the place where Oppenheimer was giving lectures – a large classroom.
When they arrived at the classroom, Leila was stunned by the scene before her.
There was a large classroom that could accommodate 500 students, and it was almost full. This kind of grand occasion only occurred when extremely prestigious scholars came to give lectures. During normal classes, this large classroom was not used at all.
The students were very enthusiastic and they came here early just to grab a good seat and listen to Oppenheimer’s lecture.
Seeing this, Falusan quickly pulled Laila to find a seat and sat down. Their seats were relatively close to the front, with a wide field of vision, and they could clearly see what was happening on the podium.
After Leila sat down, she looked around and found that the classroom was full of students, and there were students coming in from outside.
“Senior Falusan, are they really here to listen to Oppenheimer’s lecture?” Leila asked Falusan in a low voice, somewhat unbelieving.
“Yes, they all came to listen to Oppenheimer’s lectures.” Faluzan nodded and explained, “Oppenheimer did not set up a college. He just treated his school as a course. Any student can come and listen. There are no requirements and no assessments.”
Leila was almost speechless. She had initially thought that these students came for credits, but when she saw so many students coming to the class with great enthusiasm, she realized that these students came for Oppenheimer’s lectures.
About half an hour later, the seats in the classroom were full of students, and the aisles and the back were also full of people. Some students even had to stand outside the classroom and listen to the class through the windows or door cracks.
Leila took a quick look and roughly estimated that most of the students in the Order had already arrived. This unprecedented grand occasion made people sigh at Oppenheimer’s charm and influence.
Not long after, the door of the classroom was gently pushed open, and Ueno Chiki, wearing an emerald green teaching robe, appeared in everyone’s sight. He walked in with a majestic step, like a wise man descending.
The students straightened their backs and looked at him expectantly. The classroom was completely silent, with only his steady footsteps echoing in the air.
Chiki Ueno walked to the podium and smiled at the microphone. His smile was warm and friendly, making people feel extremely comfortable.

“I am deeply honored that so many students come to my class today.” He said slowly, his voice deep and magnetic.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause in the classroom.
After the applause died down, Ueno Chiki continued, “It also puts a lot of pressure on me. If I say something wrong, wouldn’t I mislead a lot of people? What if they find out and come back to beat me up?”
His words were humorous and witty, making all the students laugh out loud.
“So, let me tell you all in advance, you can hit me, but just don’t hit me in the face.” Ueno Chiki said with a smile.
This sentence caused laughter and applause from the students. They were moved by his humor and humility and felt very close to and admired him.
With just a few words, the distance between the students and Ueno Chiki was suddenly shortened.
It seemed that their relationship was no longer just a teacher-student relationship, but more like close friends. This change made Leila feel extremely warm and happy.
He went on to say, “Many students always ask me the same question: Why are there so many differences between people? Some students are naturally smart and can produce outstanding results in just a little time, while I have worked very hard but still get nothing.”
His words touched the hearts of the students.
The students who were able to enter the School of Teachings were all the elites of Xumi, the chosen ones of heaven. However, after they entered the School of Teachings, they discovered that there was a huge difference between them and others.
“But this world is so unfair. And you will find that the unbearable weight that does not belong to you will be firmly pressed on your shoulders.”
When Leila heard this, she felt a strong emotion in her heart. She remembered that all her years of hard work had been wasted, and the feeling of loss and despair surged in her heart again.
“But at this moment, you must lower your head, and fight, fight and fight, and never, never, never give up.”
“Everything will eventually come to light!”
Chapter 163 Xumi’s Ordinary Life
After the great changes in the Ordinariate, many students became decadent and demoralized, finding it difficult to accept this fact.
Therefore, Chiki Ueno directly gave them a large bowl of soul-stirring chicken soup to stimulate their enterprising spirit.
He was very satisfied when he saw those students getting excited as if they were given a shot of chicken blood.
After class, he said a brief goodbye to his students and hurriedly left the classroom.
However, he was still a step too slow. A large group of students who admired him surrounded him. Some asked for his autograph, some wanted to take photos with him, and some brave female students even gave him love letters.
This whole ordeal took him more than an hour, and Ueno Chiki experienced firsthand the troubles of celebrities and internet celebrities.
The students around him gradually dispersed, and he also prepared to walk away.
At this moment, Leila, with tears still on her eyes, walked up to him and said shyly, “Teacher Oppenheimer, can I study with you?”
Falushan, who was beside her, felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard what Leila said. She felt that she was being lied to in front of her, and she felt mixed emotions.
However, she could also understand Leila. Almost all the students in the academy wanted to follow and study under Chiki Ueno after hearing his lectures.
