Chapter 88. Where Exactly Did Cornelia’s Language Skills Go Wrong?

After returning from the Shadow World, it was already Saturday morning.

Dekan and Cornelia had skipped three days of classes without violating the student code of conduct.

There was nothing more blissful than discovering it was the weekend after a vacation.

They enjoyed another two days of leisure.

Soon.

A new week began.

After lunch on Thursday, Dekan and Cornelia came to the library as usual.

They were at the small round table where they usually sat.

But now, there were often three chairs placed at the small round table.

Cloix would occasionally be there too.

For example, today, Cloix would come later to study human magical texts with Dekan.

“By the way, Cornelia, you should write this report again.”

Dekan thought for a moment and said, placing a blank report form on the table.

They needed to write the report and submit it before Friday.

So, it had to be completed this afternoon at the latest.

Since Dekan’s identity this time was very special, he felt that writing from his perspective would be too heretical.

Fortunately.

He still had the broadcast program running when he entered the liminal space at the end.

The content of the achievement interface proved his innocence.

Otherwise, after leaving the Shadow World, he would definitely have been repeatedly investigated, which would have been a lot of trouble.

“N-no problem!”

Cornelia placed the report in front of her, picked up a pen, and was eager to try.

After the success of her last report, Cornelia’s confidence had greatly increased, and she had even become more diligent in learning the language of the Norton Kingdom.

Dekan thought for a moment and instructed:

“This time, our report doesn’t need to have such a heavy literary flavor. The style can be a bit more relaxed.”

Last time, it was almost like writing the “Happy Church scriptures.”

Dekan himself was surprised that it was approved.

“Mhm.”

Cornelia thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

Then, she picked up her pen and wrote in the title section:

“Shadow World Snow Mountain | Travel Log~”

Seeing this sentence, Dekan already started to frown.

But he resisted the urge to press down on Cornelia’s small hand.

He decided to continue watching.

Because only by knowing where the problem was could he prescribe the right medicine and help Cornelia correct her problems in literature.

Cornelia continued to write in the report content section:

“🗒Date: Went to the snow mountain villa on December 20th (it was snowing heavily outside, but it was very warm inside the house. The first day’s detective game scenario experience was super awesome!)”

“🏃Transportation: The Shadow World was responsible for the entire teleportation process, so we spent almost no time on the journey~”

“📍Booking: The main thing is to make an appointment with Heavenlit Academy for the time to enter the Shadow World! The Shadow World handles everything for free!”

“⛰Scenic Area: The size of the scenic area is limited, but the scenery is excellent! The entertainment activities are also very fun; the sleigh ride and skiing were both great! But the main focus of this trip was the mansion party~ Dekan said this is called a homie party, and I’m looking forward to playing again in the future!”

“👗Outfits: The Shadow World assigned us costumes that fit our roles! Cornelia was the detective, and Dekan was the assistant! There were also many clothes prepared in the bedroom, so it didn’t affect our leisure time when we weren't role-playing.”

“🍓Catering: We cooked almost everything ourselves. The Shadow World provided plenty of ingredients and various kitchenware!”

“✨Record: Here comes the highlight! I strongly praise the high-definition version of the Shadow World Broadcast Program. It recorded many beautiful moments for us!”

“⚠Note 1: Cornelia got a book she couldn’t put down at the attraction~ It’s the best souvenir! I will cherish it!”

“⚠Note 2: We became good friends with the travel companions we teamed up with and agreed to hang out together in the future!”

“…”

Looking at what Cornelia had written, Dekan’s eyes widened.

He was completely stunned.

Although Cornelia’s Norton Kingdom language had been improving over the past two months, Dekan now realized that she still needed a lot of tutoring.

He had only asked Cornelia to control the literary flavor of the report.

Not to write a travelogue!

Cornelia put down her pen, looked up, and stared at Dekan with anticipation.

After a moment of eye contact, only a helpless smile remained in Dekan’s eyes.

“Mhm, it’s well written.”

He ultimately swallowed his sharp critique.

“Hee hee!”

Cornelia smiled happily.

Dekan decided to submit this report tomorrow.

He might as well take this opportunity to test how high Professor Anno’s tolerance for reports was.

Just as he was about to put the report away.

Cloix walked over.

He pulled out a chair and looked at the report paper between Dekan and Cornelia.

“Are you writing a report?”

“Mhm!”

Cornelia eagerly picked up the report from the table and handed it to Cloix.

She was looking forward to her other teammate’s evaluation.

Cloix sat down at the small table and read the report seriously.

A few dozen seconds later, he looked up, a puzzled expression on his face as he looked at Dekan.

Cornelia asked nervously, “W-what’s wrong? I-is there a problem with what I wrote?”

“No, no, it’s written with a very lively feel, giving one a feeling of a spring breeze.”

Cloix forced a smile and handed the report back to Cornelia.

“Oh!”

Cornelia’s voice immediately became cheerful.

“I’m going to find a book.”

Cloix stood up.

As he passed by Dekan, he secretly tugged on his clothes.

Dekan understood what Cloix meant and also stood up.

He said to Cornelia, “I’m going to find a book too.”

“Mhm, okay.”

Then Dekan and Cloix went together to the back of a distant bookshelf.

“Dekan, by the way, did Cornelia learn the Norton Kingdom language entirely on her own?”

Cloix asked with a grave expression.

He had realized the seriousness of the problem.

Dekan: “She used to learn on her own, but later I taught her.”

Cloix: “Then why did she write a report like this?”

Dekan: “I don’t know either. I’ve been trying my best to teach her. It seems I’ll have to strengthen her tutoring a bit more in the future.”

Cloix: “…”

Cloix seemed to have suddenly realized something.

“Is it possible that… it’s precisely because you taught her that her Norton Kingdom language is so off?”

Dekan: “…”

After the two of them wandered around the library for a while, they returned to the desk.

Dekan patted Cornelia’s shoulder with a serious expression:

“Cornelia, regarding the Norton Kingdom language, I’ve basically taught you all I can. You should enter the next stage of learning.

In the future, if you have any questions about this language, you should ask Cloix for help more often. Although we are both from the kingdom’s border, he is, after all, the young master of an earl’s family. His literary accomplishment is not something I can compare to.

Also, next semester, you can choose a language-related elective course.”

“Oh, okay!”

Cornelia nodded happily.

As expected, her efforts had been recognized!

She believed that she would soon be able to master this language completely!

In order to communicate smoothly with everyone as soon as possible, Cornelia decided to work even harder.
