Chapter 275 Elhesen: Go Resign

Meanwhile, at the Institute of Religion, in the office of the Acting Sage.

The alarm clock on the desk had only been ringing for a second when it was precisely extinguished by a hand reaching out from across a large stack of recently approved documents, as if a fateful hand had been seized.

An alarm clock that cannot be turned off has no soul; its ultimate purpose is to be turned off by a self-aware hand before the brain can react, after ringing for a second.

This is a statement that Elhesen recently stumbled upon on the Void Terminal's Council forum.

This comment resonated deeply with many students at the Kyowing Institute who had suffered greatly from the early morning hours.

[IP Help Me Academic Fairy: I, I didn't mean to! It must have been another me who did it...]

[Getting online at 8 AM is worse than sleeping: Please, professor, distinguish between loyalty and treachery! It's my hand! My hand is pressing the alarm clock by itself!]

[IP: I am Senior Kavi's dog: By the grace of the Grass God, I swear that if my hand presses the alarm clock again, I will punish it so that it can only touch Senior Kavi's abs for the rest of its life!]

However, not long after, a discordant voice emerged in this discussion about the purpose of alarm clocks.

[IP, let me reiterate: I didn't cut Kavi's budget. Is the point of setting alarms just to comfort your non-existent conscience by waking up for that one second?]

On that day, the only sounds that could be heard throughout the entire Void Terminal Network were the clearing of the resilience bar and the crisp sound of overpowering attacks.

No one knows who wrote this sharp comment. The only certainty is that even the kitchen knife in the hands of a ten-year-old Beast Hunter is not as cold as his heart.

Yes, that's well said. It's best not to say it again next time.

However, Elhesen naturally wouldn't have the time to care about the comments about the emotional breakdowns that followed.

After all, in the eyes of this newly appointed acting sage, the alarm clock has only one function: to remind him to leave work on time. Of course, today is no exception.

Elhesen picked up the cloak hanging behind his office chair, turned his head and glanced at the official documents on his desk that he had only approved half of, and his temples throbbed with a familiar, dull pain again.

He now especially misses the leisurely days when he was a clerk. Although the salary was a bit low, at least he didn't have to deal with a pile of complicated official documents every day and be exhausted.

To put it nicely, these reports demonstrate academic rigor and strictly adhere to the reporting system for research projects of the Faculty of Education.

To put it bluntly, nine out of ten of these reports are nonsense, and the last one is even more utterly meaningless.

He is now filled with regret, deep regret. How could he have listened to Mu Feng's instigation and boarded that pirate ship?

That bastard left easily, only filling in for seven days, and now almost seven Teyvat years have passed and he's still nowhere to be seen.

At this rate, I'll never be able to leave work on time again in my life. I'd better hurry up and resign for the 87th time at the end of the month.

Thinking about this, even the usually calm and collected acting sage felt a headache coming on. He might as well quit being a sage!

Descending to the first floor of the Order of the Church, Elhesen walked slowly along the path of the Palace of Wisdom toward the entrance, his mind constantly conjuring up a reasonable reason for resigning that was different from the previous eighty-six.

After all, Elhesen was just a weak intellectual who couldn't shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a proxy sage, which is quite reasonable, isn't it?

However, as he approached the main gate of the Church, a burst of chaos and noise from the fountain interrupted his thoughts.

"I! I need to see the disciplinary officer immediately! My name is Elias, and I have something extremely important to report!"

"Don't stop me! This is extremely urgent and must be reported to the disciplinary officer immediately. I'm not lying!"

Elhesen frowned imperceptibly, put down his book, and turned his gaze slightly toward the source of the sound.

Beside the fountain, a young man dressed as a scholar was excitedly shaking a mercenary by the shoulder, spitting as he spoke, determined to get what he wanted.

His face looked very pale, and he looked slightly pained, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

Elhesen narrowed his eyes slightly, intending to turn around and leave, since the affairs of the disciplinary officer were not his concern.

However, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly changed his mind.

The name Elias... seems familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before. Where was it?

But before Elhesen could fully recall the full meaning of the name, a disciplinary officer who had already noticed him approached him and bowed respectfully.

“Lord Elhesen, you’ve come at the right time. I am Alav, the Disciplinary Officer, and a subordinate of Lord Seno.”

After the self-introduction, the discipline officer paused, his expression becoming more serious, before continuing the conversation in a solemn tone.

"Just now, this Mr. Elias accused the Inquisitive scholar Siraj, claiming that he was conducting a dangerous experiment in a secluded cave somewhere in Mount Meru."

"He claims to be a victim of the experiment, but his memory is now damaged and he cannot fully recount the contents of the experiment. He only remembers a secret deal that took place in the Lombard Tavern that afternoon."

"My colleagues are conducting a lie detector test on him, but based on the current situation, it is highly likely that it is true."

Araf's expression was quite serious; this concerned extremely harsh accusations against a renowned scholar, and had to be handled with caution.

Al-Hysen nodded calmly, his expression unchanged. He did have some recollection of this Siraj.

In recent years, many people have had reservations about his appointment as acting sage, and this scholar of the Yin-Yang school was one of the popular candidates for the so-called "great sage position".

He naturally didn't care about that, but what truly impressed him about Siraj was the research he was conducting.

The feasible path for the evolution of human collective consciousness, an issue that was once rejected by the previous sage Hazard on the grounds that it was a disrespectful and irreverent view of life.

From this perspective, although Hazard has done a lot of awful things, he doesn't seem to be stupid enough to reach a certain level.

However, things get a bit complicated when it comes to Siraj's research, and it looks like his plans to leave work on time are going to fall through again.

El-Heinz was in another headache. It seemed that he needed to put his resignation on the agenda as soon as possible. As for the sage, let whoever wants to do it do it.

However, the disciplinary officer who conducted the lie detector test did not return, while a smug-looking Kave strode into the clergy.

"Hey, Al-Hysen! You're here too. I have some amazing news for you. How about it? Interested?"

Elhesen glanced sideways at the smug-looking Kavi, then expressionlessly slapped away the other's hand that was on his shoulder.

“If it’s the money you were scammed out of last time that Sino recovered, then you don’t need to tell me. That’s not honorable.”

"In fact, I highly doubt whether this incredible good news will be repeated in the future."

Kavi was furious. "Is this how you, Elhesen, see him, the greatest architect of Mount Sumeru?!"

Al-Hysen remained calm. "What else?"

Kavi's words caught in his throat. Knowing he was in the wrong, he rolled his eyes and didn't bother arguing with him.

After all, he had some self-awareness; he could only say that he was 90/10 in a verbal battle with Elhesen, and that he could take on nine of himself by himself.

He glanced around warily, lowering his voice to just enough for the two of them to hear each other.

As for the content of the discussion, it naturally concerned a certain person who cannot yet make a public appearance.

Before he could finish listening, Elhesen suddenly stood up and walked straight in the opposite direction from the entrance of the Church.

"Hey, Elheisen?! What are you doing here?"

"Resign."
