Chapter 2384: Chapter 2379: Everything Under Control

Time together always seems so short.

When the group truly stepped outside to give Professor Ah Kai a moment to process, Fu Qian discreetly glanced up at the sky again.

The time was already about right, and the Red Moon was still quietly hanging there.

It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, at least it indicated that the situation was still stable.

"Isn’t it exaggerated... So what’s really happening with Ah Kai before?"

Considering the authoritative validation from Professor Fu, Lanaia, whose expression was almost dumbfounded, finally seemed to reluctantly accept reality.

Although, at the first moment after exiting, she couldn’t help but ask.

What’s going on...

Fu Qian looked around and discovered four pairs of equally expectant eyes.

As direct participants in the rescue, clearly they had an uncontainable thirst for knowledge.

"The specifics might only be something Ah Kai can tell us."

To this, Fu Qian shook his head, just sharing as much as he could manage.

"What I did just now was simple. I tended to believe he was still there, just trapped in some special state, so I found a way to disrupt some basic attributes of that area."

It’s possible to keep secrets, but not to mislead, which is the bare minimum of academic research ethics.

Currently, Fu Qian did not feel it was beneficial for the group to know the name Melia, but he also had no intention of avoiding the topic.

In the end, after omitting names, he generously shared the operation steps from earlier.

"So that’s how it is!"

And before Lanaia could say anything, Boyd had already excitedly jumped in, eager to applaud.

It was clear that for the earlier question, the group indeed felt somewhat anxious.

The realm of the Transcendent, there are too many secrets.

No matter how simple the process seemed, it was entirely reasonable for the legendary Demigod to choose secrecy.

Yet the other party not only generously shared, but also seemed like the process was not easy at all.

Directly disrupting the basic Extraordinary Attributes of a region was said so lightly, but this was far harder than snowing at the Benevolence Institute...

Only the person in front of us could speak so lightly, right?

Including the handling approach, it was rational and clear.

"Is that so..."

Even Lanaia, the non-tech personnel nearby, couldn’t help but mutter without raising any doubts.

...

"Yesterday some things I wasn’t sure about, several mentors helped me rule out some possibilities."

Looking at Lanaia’s furrowed brows, Fu Qian understood that for her, a certain doubt was forcibly suppressed—why not do this directly yesterday?

You can’t have known ahead of time that Ah Kai would benefit from this adversity, so let him endure more "adversity", right?

A very reasonable suspicion, but Lanaia clearly learned her lesson, knowing Professor Fu had many secrets, reluctant to expose them here.

However, in such an atmosphere, Fu Qian chose to break it himself, directly explaining why it wasn’t done yesterday.

It sounded not only forthright but also explained why this was a victory of teamwork.

"...because we didn’t find anything unusual?"

While only playing a coordinating role, Luo Bu quickly grasped Fu Qian’s meaning.

"Yes, it increased the probability that he was still in the same place."

Fu Qian truly nodded, indicating that what seemed a fruitless outcome actually held dialectical value.

Indeed...

Though it sounded harsh at first, the mentors were not stubborn, quickly grasping the approach, once again feeling indeed clear thinking.

As for their contribution in only ruling out options, there was no resentment, and they even graciously accepted this value.

Facts speak louder than words; mere spirit is insufficient.

"Actually speaking of this, that strange magnification effect seems still unexplained. It appears to be pervasive throughout the Academy..."

Additionally, Fu Qian’s words clearly evoked memories of a certain discovery—because of some unknown effect, the snow seemed somewhat bigger.

In his muttered self-talk, Boyd’s attempt at brainstorming was visible, though started somewhat laboriously.

"Don’t worry about that, I probably have a plan."

After all, Professor Fu’s phenomenal composure continued, as he gestured not to stress over that for now.

"Great... Ah Kai is still uncertain about how long it will take, why don’t we head back first? There will be plenty of time to consult him later."

This suggestion brought a sigh of relief to the group, and surprisingly the following speaker was the second male mentor from the Benevolence Institute.

After the three exchanged glances, they decisively left Ah Kai ample time to process, opting to first return to rest.

"I think so too, it seems he’s in quite a normal state."

To this, Fu Qian glanced back, surprisingly agreeing with this idea, even practically leading them.

...

When all is said and done, with a flick of sleeves, deep effects and accolades hidden.

From intervention to now took just moments, Professor Fu’s ridiculously suave gesture obviously had infectious power, his wisdom and composure reassuring.

As they watched, everyone felt a sudden relaxation, genuinely following suite.

A genuinely "hidden" crisis dissolves into invisibility.

Even benefiting from adversity, the Academy’s strength strengthened once more, making it hard not to feel grateful.

...

"Are you sure there’s no problem?"

Despite the Punishment Department head’s instincts standing out.

A distance away from the Benevolence Institute’s dangerous building, Lanaia quickly caught up, her eyes on Fu Qian displaying some skepticism.

"Yes, you came here looking for me?"

Fu Qian showed no surprise, gesturing to his nearby laboratory.

"Mainly the feeling wasn’t good; if you hadn’t acted soon, I’d have to consider finding more ways to rescue Ah Kai."

Nodding, Lanaia straightforwardly acknowledged Fu Qian’s assumption, the responsibility displayed moving.

The so-called finding more ways clearly indicates "making a big deal", raising the issue to the Academy level, at least.

"I’ve never been prouder to serve in the Punishment Department."

With a smile, Fu Qian gave a resounding compliment.

"Also indeed don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on it."

"That’s good..."

Receiving such affirmation from her "subordinate", even the usually carefree Lanaia felt a bit awkward.

Hesitating a bit, in the end, saying Professor Fu’s reputation convinced her not to run to the lab, simply taking leave.

...

"Professor Fu."

Yet shortly thereafter, Fu Qian, idling at his seat, welcomed a visitor.

Not even taking long to digest, the newly benefited from adversity, Ah Kai chose to visit, expression notably serious.
