Eli was enthusiastically led inside the main hall.
The interior of the main hall made Eli feel the excitement of entering the school for the first time, as the high painted marble ceiling and the lively hallways surrounded by students brought the lively atmosphere. The surroundings were brightly lit and one could even appreciate the naturally colored granite floors.
Along the way, Bramwell and the rest explained the sections and areas they went through with great pride and enthausiasm before entering the faculty conference area.
They entered a spacious large room that was elegantly styled with maple brown velvet walls and gold painted wood accents. Aside from the captivating impressionist paintings fastened on the walls, the only furniture present was an extremely long table and wooden chairs with tall back rests.
Conspicuously placed at the center of the room, the first thing that Eli noticed was that same long table occupied with people whose eyes were set on her.
Eli stood at the entrance, camly not giving anyone a hint of the uneasiness, even if she felt the gazes of the people sitting at the long table.
"Greetings Headmaster!" The people waiting at the long table unanimously greeted Grandpa Ben and the rest as they entered the hall.
Although they were addressing Grandpa Ben and the rest, their eyes were actually focused on the young woman behind the group, Eli.
As soon as she entered the room, she was welcomed with different kinds of gazes.
Some had the look of admiration, others with scrutiny. Some looked with surprise, the others looked with doubt and curiosity. Some looked at her with approval, while the others… with contempt.
Eli, being a corporate woman in her previous life, was no longer surprised with this situation.
She understood really well that one cannot please everyone.
Hence, she continued to stand tall and confident as she waited for Grandpa Ben and Bramwell to address everyone and lead her to where she will be sitting.
Eli deduced that the identity of the people in the room are the faculty members of the Farauld Magic Institute.
"All at ease and settle down!" Grandpa Ben ceremoniously nodded and acknowledged the crowd, then with Eli and the rest in tow, he proceeded to the centermost seat, followed by the others. Bramwell assigned Eli to sit comfortably beside him and Athena.
"This meeting won't be long and winding as I have always hated formalities. You all have known that I have been missing in the past few months because of working on something that brought a groundbreaking change in the innovation field.
I have been supporting, and will continue to support, the person behind all the successful inventions released in the past months. Everyone, I would like to formally introduce to all of you, the inventor of the Integrated Water Pressure System, Stainless Steel and Portable Water Filtration Device, Eli!"
Everyone clapped afterwards, although some with genuine intentions while others out of obligation.
Eli stood and greeted the crowd. "Greetings everyone! My name is Eli, I look forward to working with you all should there be a chance!"
The crowd, wearing black scholarly gowns lined with either blue, green or red, exchanged pleasantries towards Eli, until everyone settled down at Grandpa Ben's cue.
"She will be joining our Magical Research School as the Honorary Innovation Counselor, reporting to Dean Zeke. She will be using her vast knowledge to help and guide our school's researchers to accomplish their goals. She will also occasionally visit the other schools to be familiar with other knowledge areas that could facilitate research advancement."
"Eli's creations had once again intensified the Institute's vision - Discover and apply knowledge to make the Prasinon's lives better! I encourage everyone to reignite your desire to pursue knowledge and discover innovations like what Eli had done."
"Yes Headmaster!" The faculty members replied in unison. "Again, welcome Eli!"
"Thank you everyone!" Eli calmly replied.
After Eli's introduction, Bramwell immediately took over the meeting, while Eli used the opportunity to observe the way the faculty conducted their activities.
Although the faculty members were divided into three schools, the teachers belonged to other schools in order to provide the students with basic knowledge for the rest of the study areas.
Eli also learned that the Magical Research School was actually at a different level as the two other schools. Its students were more advanced both in qualifications and age group.
If Eli would think of her previous world, the Magical Research School was equivalent to the modern earth's graduate school for master and doctorate degrees. On the other hand, the Schools of Magic and Academics were equivalent to primary to university level institutions.
She felt a little flustered deep inside, knowing this.
She would soon be interacting with researchers who were actually masters and doctoral students! However, she sighed in relief after remembering that she had already interacted with Zeke and Bramwell, who even directly reported to her in the project team.
Her confidence came back in an instant.
After all the agenda was finished, Eli did not immediately proceed to the Magical Research Branch, as she still needed to tour throughout the campus with Zeke as her guide.
With Zeke's agreement she will be formally appearing after a week to the branch and officially start her role.
The Farauld Magic Institute was like a little world inside the campus grounds. Each of the schools boasted top class facilities that lived up to its renown in the entire Prasinon lands.
Known as one of the top three schools in the whole Prasinos, the Farauld Magic Institute freely accepts students coming from the lands beyond the Empire as long as they are properly sponsored and verified by their origin countries.
Roaming around the campus, Eli felt amazed by how complete and well maintained the institute was.
From the clean and serene dormitory halls, the wide and spacious practice grounds, the amazing open amphitheater, to the vast forest and lagoon area, everything that the students needed for their learning and growth were all inside the campus. Not to mention the top grade classrooms and specialized halls for each of the student's categories.
Eli couldn't help but wonder how much would a student pay in order to study in this institute.
In her previous life, she was not able to attend a university of the same caliber as the Farauld Magic Institute and could only avail for an open slot on a provincial state university.
But now that she had a chance to enter this campus, she decided to maximize her alloted time to learn and improve herself here while helping the researchers in return.
She continued to follow Zeke up until lunch time where they proceeded to the cafeteria hall. The cafeteria was bustling and lively, filled with students and faculty members taking their meals on their designated floors.
The first and second floors were meant for the students regardless of the branch they belonged to. This was because Grandpa Ben believed that giving the children enough avenues to interact with students of different backgrounds and specializations will also hone and prepare them in the real world.
The top floor belonged to the Institute's faculty and honorary guests.
Unlike the first and second floors where the students had to orderly line up for their turn to get food, the third floor operates in a fine dining setting. The menu was already neatly prepared on each table.
Eli only had to touch the name of the food she wanted to order with her fingertips and the dish she pointed to will light up and notify the chef in the kitchen.
'It was like a touch screen!' Eli was surprised to see a similar technology but with the use of magic.
True enough, the institute really pursued innovation and other ways to better use magic in their daily lives. This made Eli excited for what other things she could make with the people of the research team.
As it was already lunch time, the two of them were eventually joined by Bramwell and Grandpa Ben, along with Athena and Simone. In a blink of an eye, Eli's table became extremely high profile!
The faculty members from the other table couldn't help but steal glances at their area and engage in a hushed discussion.
"I still couldn't help but be shocked that the mysterious inventor was actually such a young woman, she was even years younger than Dean Zeke!"
"If she ever gets an official faculty identity, she would undeniably be the youngest teacher in the history of the institute!"
"I wonder how the Headmaster discovered her talents? Heavens! I could not help but feel thankful that our Headmaster was the very first to discover her talents! If not, I could already imagine how smug the rival schools would be!!"
"I know right! Now we shall all have the time to be smug during the educators' convention in the coming years! Hahahaha!"
Majority of the faculty members expressed their positive feeling about Eli joining the Farauld Institute albeit with an honorary status.
However, there were still some people who didn't feel happy about her joining out of nowhere.
"What is there to be happy about her joining our ranks? Could you all be alright to see another Zeke to trample you over?!" A female faculty member wearing a black gown with blue stripes commented with contempt, she didn't bother to hide her displeasure as she spoke the words.
"I guess you all were satisfied to rot underneath the ranks!" She continued when the other faculty members chose to awkwardly stay silent to her harsh remarks.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
