088 Where Exactly Did Cornelia’s Language Go Wrong?
After returning from the Shadow World, it was already Saturday morning.
Dekan and Cornelia had skipped three days of classes without violating any student regulations.
Realizing their vacation had ended and it was the weekend brought them immense joy.
They leisurely enjoyed two more days off.
Soon, a new week began.
After lunch on Thursday, Dekan and Cornelia arrived at the library as usual.
They sat at their usual small round table.
However, there were often three chairs placed in front of the small round table now.
Chloix sometimes joined them.
For example, today, Chloix would come later to study human magic literature with Dekan.
“By the way, Cornelia, it’s your turn to write this report.”
Dekan thought for a moment and said, placing a blank report on the table.
They needed to finish the report before Friday.
So it had to be completed by this afternoon at the latest.
Because Dekan’s identity was very special this time, he felt it was too unorthodox to write from his own perspective.
Fortunately, he had still been running the observation program when entering the critical space.
The content on the achievement interface proved his innocence.
Otherwise, leaving the Shadow World would have led to repeated scrutiny, and that would be troublesome.
“No, no problem!”
Cornelia set the report in front of herself and eagerly picked up her pen.
After the success of her last report, Cornelia was now brimming with confidence, and even her studies in Norton Kingdom’s language had become much more diligent.
Dekan thought for a moment and advised:
“This time, our report can be less heavy on the literary tone; the style can be a bit more relaxed.”
Last time, it almost ended up being titled “The Joyful Teaching Compendium.”
That it passed approval was a surprise even to Dekan himself.
“Okay.”
Cornelia nodded seriously after a moment of thought.
Then she wrote in the title section:
“Snow Mountain of the Shadow World | Travel Journal~”
Seeing these words, Dekan started to frown.
But he resisted the urge to press down on Cornelia’s small hand.
He decided to continue reading.
Because only by knowing where the problem lay could he provide targeted assistance and help Cornelia correct her issues in literature.
Cornelia continued writing in the content area of the report:
“🗒Date: December 20, went to the snow mountain villa (it’s snowing heavily outside, but very warm inside; the first day’s detective game experience was really awesome!)”
“🏃Transport: The Shadow World took care of the transportation throughout, we spent almost no time on the journey~”
“📍Ticketing: This mainly just required making a reservation with Hewenlit Academy for the time to enter the Shadow World! The Shadow World took care of everything for free!”
“⛰Scenic Area: The size of the scenic area is limited, but the scenery is excellent! The entertainment options are also very fun; the sledding and skiing were great! However, the focus of this trip was mainly the mansion party~ Dekan said it’s called a ‘house party,’ and I look forward to having more fun in the future!”
“👗Outfit: The Shadow World assigned us costumes fitting our roles! Cornelia was the detective, and Dekan was the assistant! There were many outfits prepared in the bedroom, allowing for role-play without affecting leisure.”
“🍓Dining: We almost made everything ourselves; the Shadow World provided plenty of ingredients and various cooking tools!”
“✨Records: Here comes the highlight! I strongly praise the high-definition viewing live broadcast program from the Shadow World; it recorded many wonderful moments for us!”
“⚠Note 1: Cornelia found a book at the scenic spot that she fell in love with~ It’s the best souvenir! I will treasure it!”
“⚠Note 2: We became good friends with our travel companions, and we promised to hang out together again in the future!”
“……”
Looking at what Cornelia had written, Dekan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He was completely stunned.
Although Cornelia’s proficiency in Norton Kingdom’s language had improved over the past two months, Dekan realized that she still needed further guidance.
He only wanted Cornelia to tone down the literary flair in the report.
Not to write a travelogue!
Cornelia put down her pen and looked up at Dekan with anticipation.
After exchanging glances, only a helpless smile remained in Dekan’s eyes.
“Hmm, you wrote very well.”
In the end, he swallowed the sharp criticism.
“Woohoo!”
Cornelia laughed joyfully.
Dekan decided to submit this report tomorrow.
He might as well take this opportunity to test Professor Arno’s tolerance for the report.
Just as he was about to put the report away, Chloix walked over.
He pulled out a chair and looked at the report paper between Dekan and Cornelia.
“Are you writing a report?”
“Mm!”
Cornelia eagerly picked up the report from the table and handed it to Chloix.
She was looking forward to another teammate’s evaluation.
Chloix sat down at the small table and carefully read the report.
After a few seconds, he looked up, confused, and gazed at Dekan.
Cornelia nervously asked, “What, what’s wrong? Is, is there a problem with the writing?”
“No, no, it’s written with a lot of life in it; it gives a refreshing feeling.”
Chloix forced a smile and returned the report to Cornelia.
“Oh!”
Cornelia’s voice instantly brightened.
“I’m going to find a book.”
Chloix stood up.
As he passed by Dekan, he secretly tugged at his clothes.
Dekan understood Chloix’s meaning and also stood up.
He said to Cornelia, “I’m going to find a book too.”
“Mm, okay.”
Then Dekan and Chloix went together to a distant corner of the bookshelf.
“Dekan, by the way, is Cornelia’s Norton Kingdom language purely self-taught?”
Chloix asked with a serious expression.
He had begun to recognize the severity of the issue.
Dekan: “It was self-taught initially, but later I started teaching her.”
Chloix: “Then why would she write a report like this?”
Dekan: “I don’t know; I’ve been trying my best to teach her, but it seems I need to strengthen the guidance from now on.”
Chloix: “……”
Chloix seemed to realize something suddenly.
“Is it possible that… precisely because you taught her, it led to her Norton Kingdom language being so off?”
Dekan: “……”
After wandering around the library for a while, they returned to the desk.
Dekan solemnly patted Cornelia’s shoulder:
“Cornelia, regarding the Norton Kingdom’s language, I have basically taught you everything I can; you should move on to the next stage of learning.
In the future, if you have any uncertainties about the language, ask Chloix for help more. Even though both he and I are from the kingdom’s border, he is, after all, the young master of a Count family, and his literary cultivation is beyond what I can compare.
Additionally, you can also choose a language elective course next semester.”
“Oh, okay!”
Cornelia happily nodded.
Her efforts were indeed recognized!
She believed she would soon master this language completely!
In order to communicate smoothly with everyone as soon as possible, Cornelia decided to work even harder.
