How uncomfortable.
I feel a glimpse of sight from the students in front of me, and Master Gayle and Brother Albert will stare at me, and Liz will look at me surprised, and Master Curtis and Duke will be watching how it looks with a pleasant face, and Jill listens seriously with her eyes sparkling at Dr. John's lecture...
I'd like to concentrate on Dr. John's lecture, too.
"So who understands this problem?
That's what Dr. John said to all the students.
Hands up. Of course, Mr. Liz is also raising his hand. I knew you were serious.
"Yes."
Next door Jill raised her hand high.
You're lying. I stared at Jill unexpectedly.
Twenty-year-olds are taking lectures, right?
Besides, I can't believe Jill raised his hand so aggressively...
"Oh. You..."
It's Jill.
Dr. John gave me a surprised look when he saw Jill.
At the same time Jill gathers her gaze.
"You just mentioned it because you want to stand out anyway"
"There's no way a kid can tell."
"I knew I'd just be next to that woman."
"You're in the way of class."
I heard voices like that.
They don't seem to be listening... but they do.
But Jill doesn't give a shit about that. He only sees Dr. John.
"Bye, Jill. What kind of herb do you think cures spot disease?
Spot disease is a disease in which green spots form all over the body, leading to death as it is.
Sure, it develops unexplained. And now, the herbs Dr. John is talking about are treasured.
Medicinal herbs that are rarely found. No one knows the name of this herb.
"Maddie."
Jill said that in a calm voice.
"Maddie is a flower that is said to bloom on a high cliff and can only take a few a year. And the country where spot disease is most prevalent is the Ravah 'l country. In other words, the cause of spot disease is likely to be in the Ravah 'l country."
Jill is talking pale with her gray eyes shining.
Everyone in this classroom is solidifying their gaze at Jill.
Dr. John opened his eyes wide to see if he didn't think he'd answer this far either.
You must be surprised that the child who answered was an 11-year-old boy.
When did you get so smart?
"Yes, you're right. It is believed that there is a cause of spot disease in the Ravah 'l country. Brilliant."
That's what I said, and Dr. John laughed softly.
"There is the longest river in the world called the Deigon River in the country of Ravahl, but the river is said to be the dirtiest in the world. In other words, I believe that bacteria specific to the Deigon River are responsible for spot disease."
Dr. John began to tell all the students.
Maybe Dr. John taught about spot disease and the herbs that cure it, but he didn't say anything about the presumed cause.
Jill is very aware that magic cannot be used and she is powerless. So I guess only the head is trying to be smarter than anyone else.
Those who are truly more capable than the decorative five nobles should stand on top.
... I wonder why Grandpa Will was banished from the royal palace.
"Jill is amazing."
That's what Master Curtis said when he saw Jill.
It's not amazing. He'll probably be the smartest scholar in the world when he turns twenty.
The best combination of the world's worst girls and the world's best scholars. I can't stop thinking about it.
I'm sure you call a kid like Jill a genius.
"Blue is out of blue, bluer than blue."
I shrugged looking at Jill small.
"What's that?
Jill looked at me properly and listened.
... the words of the previous world don't make sense here, do they?
"I don't know."
I laughed lightly and said so.
