Chapter 389 Multiple Tutoring
Chapter 389 Multiple Tutoring
Jerry was not joking. After dinner, he and other team leaders and members set up a foundation for the civilian teachers of Abersig.
Garcia didn't know how to properly thank him for this gift. The kindness that the world owed him suddenly came to him, and he felt so warm that it burned.
Huett thanked the students on Garcia's behalf. Garcia opened his mouth and his face turned from red to white. He never learned how to respond correctly in this social environment. He hunched his shoulders and let his hair cover his face as much as possible.
He has no sense of security. He doesn't want to take responsibility, but he has to hold it up. There is no one behind him to catch him, and he can no longer let go willfully. He is a stupid child. His grandfather always said how smart and powerful he was, but he found that he was particularly clumsy, so clumsy that he didn't even know how to show gratitude.
Irene is opposite Garcia. Because Irene participated in the construction of the foundation on behalf of "Send You Home". Her territory needs teachers. If Abersgar cannot keep civilian teachers, she will sincerely invite them to her Yuyou.
Irene was hiding in the crowd. She suddenly remembered that she had something to say to Otekest, but when she was looking for Otekest, she unexpectedly found Garcia, who was hanging his head and looking extremely lost.
She tilted her head and looked at Garcia for a long time, and finally slowly walked through the crowd to Garcia.
Irene spoke softly.
"Mr. Garcia, people's kindness is precious. When such kindness comes to you, you can't feel that you don't deserve it."
"You must be equally precious, so they will show you kindness... and love. Your questioning of yourself is a doubt of them."
"Teacher Garcia, look up. You are the protagonist tonight~"
After saying this, Irene left because she had seen Otekest. Otekest's wheelchair was stuck by Royta, who had fallen drunk, and Otekest was struggling to move Royta's head.
Irene did not look back, she was busy lifting Otkester and her wheelchair, so she did not see Garcia looking back at her, nor did she see Garcia's clenched hands.
By the time Irene carried Otkester out, Garcia had already walked up to Hughie and went with him to thank everyone.
Fiana and Norvia watched the whole process. Fiana clearly saw Norvia trying to stop it, but Norvia paused and did nothing in the end.
Fiana thought about it and comforted Norvia.
"Irene won't be hurt. Teacher Garcia is weak."
Norvia nodded.
"Yes."
"Nolvaya, why are you so resistant to Garcia? You sympathize with him and help him, but you refuse to have any contact with him."
"…I don't trust him."
Nolvia hesitated for a while and finally chose this answer.
Fiana stared at the merman. She didn't want to put her Duke's instincts on the merman, but it was hard for her to watch her teammate lie to her.
"Nolvaya, can't you trust him, or don't want to trust him? If you don't trust Garcia, you won't let Irene and Hught help him.
You wanted us all to have a bond with Garcia, but you only watched from afar."
The rosy eyes of the Duke of Philip were now as deep as dried blood.
“Nolvaya, I agreed to Garcia’s deal because he is a descendant of the Spider. The Spider rejects outsiders, but the descendants of the Spider are special.
Zhuxiang will live forever. The only way I can prevent Zhuxiang from dying with us is to let more people love her, love her as much as we do.
In this way, those who are still alive will become a hindrance to Zhu Yi, making her understand how many people will shed tears for her if she insists on choosing death, and perhaps someone will end their own life because of her death.
I'm not sure if this method will work, but I love her and I want the world to love her violently. I hope someone can keep her."
Fiana's voice was faint.
“Nolvaya, you were doing the same thing I was doing, with us. You had us all in contact with Garcia, like you did with all the instructors, but you pulled away.”
"Fiana, you..."
"If you want to use the excuse that I'm overthinking it, I'll tell Elliott everything now."
Norvia was speechless. She was silent for a while before she gave in reluctantly.
"When Garcia and Huett come back, I'll ask Garcia how he wants to conduct the confrontation, okay?"
Fianna nodded.
"Garcia needs help. Nolvaya, in this month, you, Huett and I will be responsible for solving his problems in the first two weeks, and Zhu and the others will be responsible for the last two weeks."
Nolvia held Fiana's arms, and her voice lingered.
"Yes, as you command, my Lord."
Only then did Fiana put an end to her doubts.
Norvia sighed softly. She was now certain that Garcia's appearance was a conspiracy of the gods. No matter if it was a star god or some other god, she really needed to help Garcia.
Most importantly, her teammates were intrigued by Garcia.
Huette initially helped Garcia because of the shining gem, but now she couldn't quite see why.
Norvia thought that her teammates could all find their past selves in Garcia, including her. Did she want to save her past self?
of course.
Of course she does.
……
"I'd like to... treat everyone to lunch."
As they left the restaurant and walked toward the magic circle, Garcia, who had been silent all the time, stopped, scratched his hands, and said this sentence hesitantly.
He wiped off a little of the sticky feeling on his body. He stretched out his snail tentacles and was ready to retreat at any time.
It's rare for an adult to be so...cautious and cowardly, bold and shrinking.
He didn't learn what it meant to grow up. He ignorantly pretended to be an adult, hiding his wet self in the rain in the deepest part of his heart, and slowly degenerated into the weird appearance he is now.
It was Zhu Yi who nodded first.
"Okay. But are you sure you can pay the bill?"
"……Can."
Garcia repeated.
"can."
"Garcia."
Fiana stopped Garcia from saying "yes" for the third time. Her expression was calm and her words were even.
"It is not shameful to admit one's own objective shortcomings. Just like you can ask others for help when you encounter problems. We are your students, your collaborators, and may also become your friends. Your bravado is transparent in front of us, but if you insist on pretending that you are not familiar with it yourself, we can also pretend that we know nothing. But we can't help you.
So, first ask yourself why you want to have lunch with us, and then decide what you want to accomplish with the lunch.”
Those who are already lost need to find themselves first.
Garcia looked at Fiana blankly. He didn't understand what Fiana said. Years of lack of real dialogue had left him mentally mutist, and he offered to treat his students to lunch, just to learn normal social etiquette.
He didn't understand what the invitation meant, he just felt that he should do it.
And…he was grateful.
"I want to buy you lunch. Because I really appreciate you buying me dinner today. I'm happy."
Garcia spoke vaguely, only the word "happy" rose slightly, showing the truth of the sentence.
Irene clapped her hands. Beside her, Yalinxiu clapped her hands, too, although she didn't quite understand why Garcia was still learning such basic expressions - the teacher looked normal.
Garcia pushed his dark hair behind his ears. He raised his head, as Irene had told him to do. But his shoulders were still hunched back, his back slightly bent, as if in submission.
"What I want to achieve is... to get to know you better."
"Get to know us, and then what?"
After saying this, Elliott didn't look at Garcia, but casually tried to take off the ring on his finger. But Huett didn't let him do that. The Kriskin knot still stayed securely on Elliott's finger.
From this action, Norvia was sure that Huett really wanted to help Garcia. Norvia didn't know what had changed Huett...but she knew that what she saw in Garcia was something that only she could understand.
She saw in Garcia the pain and struggle of the early deaths of his family, she saw Garcia's embarrassment caused by poverty, Garcia's loneliness and longing for family.
What about Huet?
What Huett saw made him want to look Garcia in the face now.
Norvia looked at Garcia's frayed coat and lowered her eyes. Abersgar's payday was in the next two days, and Garcia shouldn't be so short of money.
Garcia gave all his money to Angel Wings.
He is very responsible. Whether he is willing to take responsibility or not, the sacrifices he makes are obvious.
And Hugh...
Norvia realized that she had never persuaded Huet to leave the Remiaz royal family. That was not a home for Huet, nor was it a place full of beautiful memories. But Norvia knew that even Huet in the past had always fulfilled his duties as a prince.
The Mad Prince of Remiaz burned down countless buildings, allowing countless sins to disappear forever as the flames went out, leaving behind people who could live on.
Nolvia understood what Huett had said before: "The two people who have some connection with the role of father are Raphael and Wools."
Raphael taught Huett the theory of fire magic, which was the basis for Huett to use fire magic easily after awakening it. Fire magic was the only means for Huett to protect himself and even resist.
So what did Wools teach Huett? What did he teach Huett so that Huett would regard him as a father like Raphael?
It's responsibility.
Wools has been protecting Remiaz. For Remiaz, Wools can give up anyone, including himself.
So Wools devoted himself to his country. He had no personal life, rarely returned to the capital, and worked day and night in Remiaz to find urgent problems to be solved.
Huet has also been fulfilling his responsibilities as a prince. Unlike Sosa, he did not issue a decree to eliminate the darkness. Instead, he fought for the chance for civilians to survive in the darkness.
Even though she knew Huett after the rumors, she could still see the shining points of Huett.
Thinking of this, Norvia's face suddenly changed, and her fingertips began to turn white.
If "her teammates will work with her to destroy the evil god" is taken as a certain premise, then when the gods selected teammates for her, they had already determined that her teammates would be the ones who would protect the world and destroy the evil god - because the gods could not grasp her emotions, nor could they be sure how deep the feelings between them would be.
Norvia was certain of one thing.
The gods hope that they can save the world, so the gods should have a positive attitude towards them.
However, in her awakened memories of traveling through the book, the parts concerning her and her teammates were filled with absolute malice.
That's more like...them from the evil god's perspective.
Norvia couldn't think any more. Her head was beginning to ache. She forced herself to focus on Garcia.
Then Norvia noticed that Garcia's lips were buzzing.
"…Then, I want to have a good relationship with you guys. I want to have a family…friends."
Garcia originally wanted to say "family", but he quickly swallowed the word and changed it to "friends".
This was his deepest desire.
When Zhu Yi heard this change, she blinked her red eyelashes and hummed.
The sound was enough to make Garcia flinch.
But soon, Fiana made arrangements according to the plan agreed upon with Norvia.
Finally, Fiana raised her eyes and looked at Garcia who was about to turn into a swamp.
"Use this time to get to know us. Mr. Garcia, if you have nothing else to do, please find a way to follow us."
Garcia didn't understand what "find a way yourself" meant. He subconsciously wanted to agree, but then paused.
Fiana's words rang in his ears.
Garcia took a deep breath. He spoke with difficulty, and his voice sounded like a saw cutting wood.
"I don't understand—I don't understand."
Irene had been waiting for his help.
"We are all very busy! Fiana means that you can take the initiative to intervene in our lives. For example, when I am handling government affairs in Luyou, you can come to Luyou to apply for the position of my secretary. In this way, you can understand what I do every day, what I like to eat and what I hate to eat. Of course, I can also understand you.
If it's Norvia, you can work with Norvia!"
It didn't feel like outright help. Fiana's approach was somewhat condescending—but it was the biggest concession Send You Home could make.
Garcia wasn't enough to make them drop what they were doing and approach him.
But Garcia was content.
Garcia's eyes, those dark green eyes that seemed to be bubbling, like sticky moss, lit up at this moment.
He was even a little speechless. His mental weakness was reflected in his body, causing considerable damage. But he didn't need to speak, everyone could see the fluctuations in his mood.
Because the wind is howling at this moment, but the leaves are tender and the dead branches are full of spring.
