Chapter 90 Borrowing Books
Idelia hadn't expected to hear her name from him, after all, she didn't seem to recall ever saying to him, "You recognize me?"
As soon as she said it, she realized she had asked another stupid question.
Fortunately, Al-Hysen was in a good mood and didn't mind wasting time answering: "Of course, the famous jewel of the Theological Seminary, I think no one in the Seminary should not know you."
For the first time, Idelia felt that the title was so hot to swallow, even though Elhesen said it in a calm tone as if stating an objective fact, without any hint of sarcasm.
But the more serious she was, the more ashamed she felt. Idelia's face burned as she covered her face and said with difficulty, "It's just an empty title."
Al-Hysen smiled, this time a genuinely sarcastic laugh: "Excessive modesty does no good. Is it so hard to acknowledge one's own achievements?"
Idelia was speechless.
"Also, just a reminder, you should go now." Alhesen closed his book and emphasized the previous sentence that someone had completely missed. "Your afternoon classes start in ten minutes, and it takes at least five minutes to walk back to the classroom from here."
Idelia's beautiful orange-yellow eyes widened in surprise: "Why didn't you warn me sooner?"
Of course, in such a critical moment, she didn't care about Elhesen's answer at all. After grumbling, she grabbed the book next to her and rushed to the classroom.
Al-Hysen calmly watched her leave.

As it turned out, Al-Hysen was indeed a very meticulous person. He meant exactly five minutes, no exceptions. When Idelia sat down in one of the few remaining empty seats in the classroom, her brow beaded with sweat, the clock on the wall had just struck the hour, with exactly five minutes left before class started.
Idelia rarely looked so disheveled; even her usually neatly arranged skirt was now disheveled from the intense running.
As she bent down to straighten her clothes, an annoying voice suddenly came from behind her—
"It seems our luminary of the Cause Theory school has been having a bit of a rough time lately."
Idelia frowned and turned around, finally realizing why this area of seats was deserted.
Because Unar is here, almost no one likes this guy's occasional boastful remarks.
However, when facing Idelia, Unar usually finds it difficult to boast and usually chooses to remain silent. But the two had just had a conflict recently, and Idelia had lost her composure again. He was unwilling to miss this opportunity no matter what.
Facing him, Idelia wouldn't be as reserved as she was in front of Elhesen. Upon hearing this, she immediately retorted sarcastically, "Yes, not as good as our famous scholar Unar. But I heard that the research grant you submitted last time wasn't approved again?"
Research funding is crucial for every scholar at the Faculty of Education, as it determines their ability to graduate successfully.
Normally, as one of the most sought-after schools of thought in the Inquisition, scholars of the Inquisition rarely face such a difficult problem, which makes Unar's rejection three times seem quite exaggerated.
Unar himself was well aware of this, so when Idelia brought it up, he seemed to have been struck on a sore spot, his expression contorting: "You think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back? You're far more despicable than I think!"
Idelia looked completely bewildered.
She wanted to ask Unar what he had imagined to hate her so much, but it was time for class, and the teacher in charge of the course walked to the podium as the bell rang.
Idelia had no choice but to give up and open her book to concentrate on the lesson.
However, she had already studied the course content on her own a long time ago, and soon her gaze, which had been fixed on the book, began to wander, clearly indicating that she was deep in thought.
The question she was pondering was simple—how could she further strengthen her relationship with Elhesen?
Opportunity favors the prepared mind, just like today, which brought her and Elhesen much closer.
Having tasted success, Idelia decided to keep trying, but she had never pursued anyone before. What should she do?
She didn't have any friends she could ask for help, so after thinking it over, she decided to go to the library after class.
Sumeru is a kingdom of knowledge, and the Academy does not despise any kind of knowledge, including that related to pursuing people. In fact, this book, titled "How to Win Over Your Crush," has the highest borrowing rate, and for this reason, the Grand Master, Mentiaga, specially approved the preparation of several more copies in the library.
As for why Idelia knew this, it was because the matter was funny enough that Mentiaga couldn't help but tease her about it during dinner that night, complaining that the scholars of the Order of the Church were so engrossed in their studies that they didn't even know how to fall in love.
Idelia once confidently declared to Montiaga that she would never become one of these people. After all, she had countless suitors since childhood, so how could she possibly be the one chasing after someone and still not succeed?
Thinking of this, Idelia couldn't help but sigh, but her hand still honestly picked up the last book left on the bookshelf, the "Master of Chasing People".
Fortunately, Mentiaja doesn't usually pay attention to library borrowing records, so she can borrow books freely without worry. However, just to be on the safe side, she still needs to be careful, because besides her father, she also doesn't want her classmates to know that she has lost in the pursuit of someone.
Idelia furtively slipped her schoolbag into her coat and went to register.
It was a busy time, and since the administrator knew her well, he simply handed her the registration form and let her fill it out herself. Meanwhile, he was pulled away by a scholar to deal with the damaged borrowed books.
Idelia didn't mind. She sat down in the empty seat next to her and started filling out the borrowing form.
Footsteps approached, but she didn't look up and replied directly, "The administrator has left temporarily. If you want to borrow a book, you can sit here for a while and wait for him to come back."
"Okay." The person replied casually and sat down next to her.
Idelia felt the voice sounded familiar, but she had only filled out half of the form and didn't want to think about anything else. She decided to finish quickly before looking up to see who was next to her.
This one glance was incredible. When she met those familiar red and green eyes, Idelia's breath caught in her throat, and even the loud thud of her pen falling to the ground failed to bring her back to her senses.
Elhesen looked at her, who was completely petrified, and raised an eyebrow: "Surprised to see me? I thought that after running into me so many times in the library, you should have figured out that this time is exactly when I'm about to go home."
Idelia: ...
She really did know this, and even remembered it quite clearly, after all, it was one of the few useful pieces of information in that booklet. However, she had left the library with Al Heissen this afternoon, so of course she assumed he wouldn't come back.
Idelia was too embarrassed to admit that she had been taking things for granted. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized why she was there.
Oh no! Her book, "How to Win Over Your Crush," is still sitting right there on the table!
