The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5016

5016 Enthusiastic Fan

Ves felt bemused more than anything after learning about the drastic changes at the Eden Institute of Business & Technology.

The increased enrollment and the reduced competition was like a dream to this relatively new university!

Now that every remaining educational institution had to compete on a level playing field, it was impossible for the Eden Institute to fall!

Only an enormous scandal would be able to threaten its continuation. So long as it did not make any egregious mistakes, it was destined to rise to prominence!

This provided huge benefits to Ves as long as he was able to remain employed by the Eden Institute.

It did not really matter if he became overshadowed by every professor. He was already happy with teaching a couple of niche elective courses.

Ves did not expect the school administration to attach so much importance to his proposed Frontier Wisdom course.

Were the Terrans truly willing to trust a second-rater to teach a bunch of clueless kids how to kill a phase whale!?

"Humanity has precious little contact with the phase whale race." The projection of Miss Alexa Striker clarified as she sat next to the desk in Ves' office. "Not even the Big Two has fought that much against these powerful aquatic aliens. They are too elusive and solitary, and spend most of their time hiding inside gas giants or pocket spaces. Master Laila Rebecca Devos has personally contacted the Red MTA to verify whether you have truly come into contact with this race. Once she obtained the desired answer, she Intends to use your course as an additional selling point for the Eden Institute."

Ves blinked.

"Are you sure it is a good idea to blow this matter up? I am still a brand new Senior. I haven't taught a single serious class as of yet. My Frontier Wisdom course may be the completely wrong fit for the Eden Institute or its students."

"Master Devos is more than willing to give you room to experiment, professor. The rules and regulations concerning the teaching contents of elective courses are quite loose. The consequences are not too severe if you fail to teach our students anything of substance. You can always retool the syllabus for the next semester."

"I see. I’ll proceed according to my original plan if that is the case."

The two talked a bit further. Ves did not really treat his position at the Eden Institute as a full-time job, so he was largely left out of the loop.

Fortunately, his bright young teaching assistant was fully on top of the situation. She possessed an excellent awareness of the changes brought by the Great Severing.

"You cannot imagine how many pioneers have chosen to raise their own hunting fleets after the Red CFA published its Warship Quota Program." Axela gossiped to Ves. "These leaders have spent most of their efforts on building their colonies or establishing new business in the upper zones. Now, they suddenly chose to put their original plans on the backburner in order to chase after the much-coveted Warship Tokens. How likely do you think that they can succeed in their hunting expeditions?"

He snorted. "Hah, they will likely not be able to obtain the prize that they desire the most. As you have said so yourself, phase whales are highly elusive. Finding them is an enormous challenge. You may stumble upon them by luck if you spent enough time in the deep frontier, but you are likely to get confronted by a full alien warfleet that is strong enough to fight against the Red Big Two head-on! It takes special means to track down a phase whale."

"Are you able to teach that in your Frontier Wisdom course?"

Ves immediately shook his head. "Hell no. The Red Big Two would have bought the secrets from me if I have any. The truth is that my expeditionary fleet never set out to seek them in the first place. We Just stumbled upon them by coincidence."

"Three times."

"I just have the worst luck."

"If you say so." Miss Striker said with a coy smile. "It is not a great loss if you cannot teach your students how to better track them down. You can still satisfy their curiosity by giving them tips on how to trap and defeat the phase whales. Our first-class mechs are powerful, but the powerful aliens are known to possess many strange methods due to their great mastery in spatial manipulation."

"That is why you can never beat a phase whale if you approach one from a distance. You can only ever take it by surprise and preferably when it is fixed to a single location."

"Now that is exactly the sort of lesson that you should teach to your next batch of students."

The two talked a bit more about the contents of Ves' future courses. They not only talked about his Frontier Wisdom course, but also touched upon his other ones.
