Chapter 719
Thomas was still furious about Wendy’s incident.
“Honestly, I didn’t like her from the moment she started talking. As it turns out, I was a good judge of character. What’s funny is that the teachers in your school still think that she’s some kind of precious treasure they’ve attained to have recommended her to be my interpreter.”
Arielle only smiled in response.
Right then, Arielle noticed that Arthur was calling her.
She had muted her phone a while ago, so it was only then she saw the call from Arthur.
“Professor Harlem, I’ll need to pick up a call.”
“Go ahead. The food in your restaurant is just too delicious. I’m going to continue enjoying it.”
“All right,” Arielle said with a grin before leaving to answer the call.
The second she accepted it, Arthur’s anxious voice traveled into her ear. “Arielle, where are you? We need your help. You’re fluent in Lightspring Ustranasion, and Maxwell University is located in Lightspring. You’ll be doing our school a huge favor if you can come here and help us translate a document into Lightspring Ustranasion.”
Lightspring Ustranasion had different pronunciations of words, unlike Ustranasion in general. Moreover, the sentence structure and words were slightly different; it
was leaning more toward the older form of Ustranasion.
If she could translate the lesson plan into Lightspring Ustranasion, then the quality of the translation would be of a much higher standard.
Recalling what Thomas had said about Wendy earlier, Arielle asked, “Is it about translating an advanced mathematics’ lesson plan?”
“Yes. That’s the one.”
Arielle fell silent for a brief second before answering, “All right. I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
“That’s great! We’ll be waiting for you in the second floor’s meeting room at the lecturers’ block.”
“Okay.” After Arielle ended the call, she returned to the restaurant and told Thomas about the lesson plan translation.
Thomas shook his head. “Asking you to do it would be overkill. Still, they seem rather sincere, so maybe it’ll be good if you lend them a helping hand. Since I’m done with my meal, I’ll head back to the school with you.”
Arielle then reminded, “Please don’t forget that you have to keep my identity a secret.”
“Leave it to me. Although I’m old now, my mind is still like a young lad’s. Your name isn’t San but Arielle, right?”
“That’s right. What a smart man!”
At that, Thomas froze. Does she think of me as a child who needs praise?
The two chatted merrily on their way to Jadeborough University. Soon, they were right in front of the meeting room.
Wendy was still writing her report, and when she raised her head, she spotted Arielle with Thomas. Immediately, a variety of emotions flashed past her face.
Professor Sleight has actually asked Arielle to come!
Does he really think that Arielle will be able to do what I can’t?
Stop trying to pull my leg!
Getting Arielle here will only make Professor Harlem furious again. The school will only suffer yet another bout of embarrassment.
However, in the next second, she saw a scene that blew her mind. Thomas, who barely paid any attention to her even on a good day, was happily gesturing for Arielle to enter the room.
What’s going on?
Why is Professor Harlem acting like this with Arielle?
Wendy was not the only one confused; Arthur and the other teachers were equally baffled.
In the end, Arthur was the one who took a step forward and asked, “Professor Harlem, do you know this student?”
Thomas was about to nod when he noticed Arielle staring at him. Hastily, he shook his head and said, “Not really. This student used Lightspring Ustranasion to introduce some of the dishes on the menu when I was out for a meal. As it turns out, she’s a student in your school who’s rushing here to translate the lesson plan, so I followed her back.”
“What a coincidence.” Arthur did not dwell on it. Turning to Arielle, he then said, “Arielle, we don’t have much time left. Do come over and organize the translations with us.”
Arielle nodded. “By the way, Professor Sleight, typing out the translation would be far too slow. I know of a good speech recognition software. Hand over the lesson plan to me, and I’ll translate the text verbally and let the software come up with the written copy.”
At that, everyone froze.
