Read Blood, Status, Ethnicity, and Nationality :: Chapter 2

Arriving at the hospital, the Advisor does not immediately take the interns on duty, but gives them an exam first. The exam aims to measure the students' readiness for internships. Most of the interns do not expect that the Advisor will give them an examination, they immediately scream in horror. Daphne, on the other side, calmly looks at the questions displayed on the Electric Screen in front of the class, then begins to write down the answers on her ultra-cyber minipad.

Those who only observe from the surface will quickly assume that Daphne is a cheerful and easy-going girl and has no difference from other ordinary youths. But in fact, in some ways, Daphne can be extremely serious. Just like when she is taking the exam at this moment. Because Daphne is very passionate about medicine, as a kid she always dreams of becoming a doctor when she grows up. She really wants to follow the trail of his father who has just died.

"Okay, time is over." Various kinds of exclamation (joy for those who are sure they can do the test well, and disappointment for those who are trapped in difficulties) follow after the Advisor announces that the time to do the exam has been over. "But before we begin the internship, I want to announce something to you."

The class turns quiet. Daphne, along with her classmates, is now paying close attention to the Advisor who calls someone. "Please come in, Sir!"

Shortly after the call, a young man steps into the classroom. His face that is in stark contrast to the appearance of the people of the Aurora Continent leading Daphne to immediately guess that this young man is a foreigner. She is even very sure that this young man is Lismesan people, she just has no idea about which country this Lismesan young man comes from - Saturn, Callisto, or Ganymede...

Hmmm, maybe Saturn? I once met one of the Saturnian people. I heard that Saturnian people can be found everywhere, Daphne starts to wonder and observe the young man more closely while the Advisor introduces him. "Welcome to our school, Mr. Rivers... and many thanks for... your compliance to... become one of our lecturers." The Advisor keeps smiling wide when he speaks out, clearly showing that he is full of joyfulness.

"Thank you very much, Doctor, but you don't have to worry, I can speak Plutonian language." Noticing that the Advisor is not fluent in Jupiterian language, the young Lismesan lecturer answers him with a smile.

"Ah... I see..." The Advisor feels embarrassed. He is not very good at the Jupiterian language. Every Plutonian really wants to master the Jupiterian language, but to be able to speak it fluently, especially with foreigners, not everybody can do that incredible thing. Curving a little smile for the second time, the Advisor continued, "Okay Class... let me introduce, this is Mr. Stairmount Rivers..."

Ha, that surname! I guess it right, then!

"... comes from Jupiter. Mr. Rivers graduated from Millennium University, which is very well known in the sector of biological science. Such a great honor for our faculty since Mr. Rivers is willing to give lectures in medical and clinical laboratory technical matters. Especially as you have to intensively study laboratory test results..."

"What, this Lismesan lecturer is a Jupiterian?" Daphne moves her seat a bit forward to observe Mr. Stairmount Rivers more further. Expecting from his face, Mr. Rivers is too young to be a medical faculty lecturer, since he seems to be in his late twenties. His facial expression shows that he is a quiet, even a little rigid man. However, he has a gentle and pleasant handsome face. Not the type of action actor with a mannish face, yet he has the typical drama film actor's sweet, cute face. His indigo-color eyes glowed warmly, making a great match with his carolina-blue hair. While under ordinary circumstances, communicating with strangers - especially with the Jupiterians - will make the people from small towns like her feel nervous, then a different case appears now since Mr. Rivers has an aura that will lead everyone to feel at ease with him. And besides, the impression we get from him is that we can put our trust in him, that he will be able to be a good guardian - a savior. Mmm, laboratory technical expert from a well-known university in the field of biological science? Wow, can I ask a lot of medical questions to him? Daphne quickly became interested in Mr. Rivers because of her deep passion for medical science. All kinds of questions started to pop up in her mind, and of course, the question of why the Jupiterian has the face of Lismesan and the surname of Saturnian still becomes the main question in her mind. Because she knows, all Jupiterians have Jupitune-race postures, just like the Plutonians have.

"Anyway, Class, you'd better not speak Plutonian with Mr. Rivers, okay. Use Jupiterian language. I wish that I can see some of you study for the master's degree at Millennium University. It's a really great happiness for me to see that!" The Advisor utters, but unlike before, his utterance is followed by a very loud, cheerful 'Yes!'
