Chapter 255: El Haisen is stable

"...The beautiful streamlined body can reduce the air resistance it encounters, and the low chassis can ensure its balance and stability during driving...
If you look closely, these designs are very meaningful, not just for aesthetics. If it is driving in Xumi City with flat roads, its speed will be very, very, very fast!"
Kavi worked hard to gather vocabulary and instill his design concepts into his two junior classmates.
Elhaisen had already turned his eyes back to his book. When Kawi finished speaking, he said without looking up, "Yeah, I see. At least you amused yourself with it."
"Elhaisen! Now, you have lost the experience ticket for riding Xumi's first elemental vehicle!" Kavi cursed and rolled up his drawings.
"I think the designs of both cars are very good," said Harold.
"Really?" Kavi was delighted, and then deliberately raised his voice and said, "I said that people with artistic aesthetics like the same things!"
Then he glanced at Elhaisen out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that this junior fellow student remained unmoved, he suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
"After all, driving the same car all the time can easily cause visual fatigue," Harold said with a smile.
Kawi said happily, "Wait, I'll make a few mini models first and show them to you in a few days."
Harold nodded and thought: Why should I choose between the two? As long as it can be made, I want both.
...
In the second week, all bulletin boards in Xumi City were posted with the list of high-level changes announced by the Council of Ecclesiastical Orders, and Harold was not surprised to see Elhaisen's appointment report on it.
His ID photo was posted next to his employment report. It was taken two days ago. Compared with the photo on his student ID, he looked a little more mature, but he still had the bookish air of his student days.
Next to Harold, a scholar in a green academic uniform approached the bulletin board, widened his eyes in surprise, and murmured in disbelief:
"What? A seventeen-year-old clerk?"
"How old? How old did you say?!"
A brown-haired scholar next to him was reading the changed book control regulations. Upon hearing this, he immediately moved closer to him and also stared at the words on the bulletin board with wide eyes.
After reading it, he looked at the handwritten name in the name column of the employment report, then looked at the photo attached to it, and showed a suspicious look.
He strongly suspected that the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had put the wrong photo. He hesitated several times and wanted to speak out his guess. Fortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs corrected the mistake, proving his foresight. However, he was afraid that what he said today would be spread and he would be accused of being jealous.
At this time, another group of people were attracted by their voices, and more than a dozen scholars gathered around the announcement and started discussing it.
"El Haisen? Who?"
"What school does he belong to?"
"Seventeen? Seventeen is enough to take the test? Has he graduated? Met the test requirements?"
"Oh, seventeen years old, what a young talent!"
...
"I've never heard of that name. Didn't Farid, the newcomer from the Zhilun School, run for the clerk position? Did he lose?"
"Where is Ishaq from the causal school? Ishaq, the senior Ishaq who published two sociology papers in one year, isn't he Ishaq? How is that possible? Is there a mistake?!"
"Before the test began, the knowledge and cause factions argued for so long over whether Farid or Ishaq should take the office. Unexpectedly, the final winner was Al Haisen... So who is this Al Haisen?"
Everyone discussed the matter for a long time, some were surprised, some were disappointed, some were questioning, and some were envious. In the end, their minds were focused on one question: Who is Elhaisen?
"Is this a mistake? How could I not have heard of someone who was elected as a clerk at the age of seventeen?"
A young scholar made such a voice in the crowd, and at the same time expressed the voices of many people, so as soon as this statement came out, it immediately received a lot of echoes.
"There must be a mistake. Senior Ishak also took the test. How could he fail?"
"Senior Farid is the one most likely to pass the test!"
"Isn't he a relative of some lord?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
"Ishaq and Farid both lost the election? I don't believe it."
"I've felt this way for a long time, Elhaisen? Seventeen years old? How is that possible? It's ridiculous! Is everyone in the Order House Harold?"
The innocent Harold who was kidnapped immediately turned around and quickly left this place of trouble.
It was not until he passed the coffee shop next to the bulletin board that a short scholar whispered thoughtfully: "Elhaisen? The Elhaisen who joined the same society as Haroldt?"
This whisper was like an invisible wind that passed through the chests of everyone who was shouting "This must be a mistake!", and their chattering and shouting instantly became silent.
Some people felt their faces turn red and fled the scene immediately, while others exclaimed in admiration after a brief silence to hide their guilty conscience.
"Oh, it's that El Haisen! I was wondering why this name sounded so familiar."
"Just by listening to his name, I know he is a capable person. No wonder he was able to join Kawi's society."
"It's him. It's not unfair that Ishaq and Farid lost. I've read his graduation thesis. It's something that a scholar with real talent can write!"
...
The news that Elhaisen would be the next secretary also reached the officials of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
When Elhaisen's mentor learned that the "God of Plague" he had sent away had become a high-ranking official in the Church Order, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he began to wonder if his student would make things difficult for him in the future, but he quickly denied his suspicion.
In the two-year tug-of-war with Elhaisen, he had already figured out this student's temperament. He was now extremely glad that Elhaisen was not a vengeful person.
So he quickly added the words "having mentored the current clerk, El Haisen" to his self-introduction. He knew that El Haisen would not cause him trouble for this.
...
Ritovanti Academy, inside the Sage's office
The original copy of the new clerk's appointment report was now lying quietly on the long wooden table. This paper document was isolated from other documents, as if someone deliberately wanted to draw attention to it.
When Azar entered the office, he saw the report and Setale, who was bringing a cup of hot tea to his desk.
He picked up the report, quickly glanced through it, and rarely showed a satisfied smile from the bottom of his heart, and said as if talking to himself:
"The new secretary is really young and promising. There are many young talents such as Senor, Harold, and Tinari in recent years. It seems that we have caught up with a good era."
"Yes." Setale curled the corners of her mouth and showed a very faint smile.
Many thoughts flashed through her mind: the fact that she and Elhaisen were attending the same society was no secret, and they had not thought of hiding this from the Great Sage at the beginning, so it was only natural for her to show appropriate joy at this time.
If the Great Sage had investigated Elhaisen beforehand, he would not be suspicious of her little emotions at this moment. If he had not, then when the fact that they were involved in the same society was dug up in the future, it would prove that she had nothing to hide from the Great Sage.
The usually cold assistant showed excessive concern for Elhaisen's appointment, but Hazard did not express anything.
He put the report aside, thinking about winning over the young clerk to his side. Thinking that he had gained another helper, he began to review the rest of the documents in a very happy mood.
...
Xumi City, inside the residence of three people
At the end of the key turning sound, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and Kavi rushed into the room with a look of surprise on his face, shouting loudly: "El Haisen! You really passed the exam!"
Elhaisen, who was reading, raised his head, said "Oh", and then lowered his head again.
Elhaisen had a nonchalant expression, which showed no surprise, but Kavi's joy was not dampened by his indifference at all. He walked back and forth in front of Elhaisen, talking to himself excitedly:
"You are a clerk now. What should I call you? Grand Clerk? Your Excellency the Grand Clerk? Lord Elhaisen?"
Kavi deliberately made his tone a little sarcastic in response to Elhaisen's frequent use of titles such as "great artist" and "great architect" to mock him and Harold.
But he quickly changed the subject, put aside his thoughts of revenge, and asked happily: "How about we go for a drink together when Harold comes back? - Hey, wait, are you underage? You can't drink if you are underage!"
As Kavi was speaking, the door opened again and Harold walked in.
"Harold, Elhaisen is now the secretary!" Kavi shouted.
"I saw that many people outside were discussing this matter," Harold said with a smile.
