LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Chapter 6 The Person Without a Last Name

Without students asking questions, Victor took the initiative to introduce himself.

After all, this isn't the first time this has happened.

He knew that he had no reputation, and no one would know him outside the laboratory.

Although he, Victor, is actually the most capable companion of the great Professor Jess, the number two inventor of the core of HexTech.

Even, as Jess has become more and more famous in the past few years, he has become more and more addicted to social activities in the upper class...In the follow-up application research stage of Hex Technology, Victor, the person behind the scenes, has already contributed more .

But he remains anonymous.

One reason is that Victor himself is introverted, he doesn't like socializing, and he doesn't like to show off.

The second is because...

He is a Zaunite.

Yes, even though he has immigrated to Piltover for more than ten years, and has even been hired as a professor at Piltover University, he is still a Zaunite in the eyes of others.

When Piltover's public opinion machine hypes up the greatness and wonder of Hex technology, they will always intentionally or unintentionally remove Victor's name from Jess——

Piltover heroes shouldn't be from Zaun.

Gradually, Victor got used to living behind the aura of Jess and engaged in scientific research in a low-key manner.

It's okay on weekdays, anyway, he didn't want to be famous.

That is to say, it is a little embarrassing in today's public occasion where he needs to come forward - no one knows him.

So Victor took the initiative to introduce himself:

"I'm a friend of Jace's."

"You can call me Professor Victor."

"Professor?" The students had different expressions.

Victor knew at a glance that these children didn't expect him to be a professor-he was once again regarded as Jace's assistant teaching assistant.

"Hahaha." Jess didn't feel the atmosphere was subtle at all.

This Mr. Sun showed a sunny smile and patted his friend on the shoulder jokingly:

"Victor, I told you to go out more."

"Look, even the students in our academy don't know you anymore."

"Hmm..." Victor shrugged nonchalantly.

Jess turned his head on his own and introduced to all the students:

"Professor Victor is my most important friend and a leading expert in the field of Hex Technology and Mechanical Engineering. It is no exaggeration to say that without his help, I would not have been able to break through the core research of Hex Technology."

"Actually, in the Hex engineering machinery development research group that you are about to join—if any of you are lucky enough to be selected—I am the research group leader, and Victor is the deputy team leader."

When Professor Jess spoke like this, the students finally realized Victor's extraordinaryness.

"It turns out he is Professor Jess' deputy!"

Upgraded from a follower to a deputy, Victor immediately received a lot more respect.

But he still looked interested and didn't care about anything.

At this time, I saw Jess slowly walking up to the podium, leaving a line of headings on the blackboard:

""Power flow optimization strategy for energy-enhancing steam robots", this is the topic I will test you today."

Jess tapped on the blackboard and said to the students waiting below:

"Take this as a course design paper, use this as the title, and state the optimization strategies, design principles, and experimental procedures you can think of as fully as possible, and finally submit an outline of the paper on the spot."

"Professor Victor and I will review your thesis design on the spot and evaluate and grade you."

"The person with the most complete design and the best performance can join our research group and become a student of me, Professor Victor, and even President Heimerdinger."

This pie that Jess drew is admirable.

But the students present were not as excited as before.

Because the assessment questions he gave were rare beyond imagination.

The topic was too big, and a thesis outline had to be written on the spot. This is too high a requirement for students' scientific research literacy, which has far exceeded the ability of ordinary college students.

Even the students who can come here to participate in the assessment are all the best talents from the Hextech Institute. Many of them turned pale as soon as they heard the topic, and retreated before they even started.

The few remaining ones who still had the confidence to challenge asked Jess very cautiously:

"Professor Jess...is there a time limit for this assessment?"

"How much time can you give?"

I only heard Jess answer: "There is no time limit, you can write as long as you want, and hand it in to us when you finish."

"But you have to know that it is the subjective opinion of me and Victor that decides the only candidate."

"The speed at which you complete your thesis outline will directly affect our evaluation of you."

"Huh?" The students were surprised:

It turns out that this assessment is still a racing game?

The topic is inherently difficult, and it is necessary to write it well and fast. At this time, few people present have the confidence to pass it.

And Kaya Feiros, the eldest lady from the Feiros family, happens to be one of them:

"I see... as long as you can finish the outline first, you can 'bonus points', right?!"

Kaya is confident. She unhurriedly took out a withered gold fountain pen with the Ferros family crest printed on it, and before writing, she glanced provocatively at Lena who was not far away.

And Lina didn't care about this old enemy at all.

She had already picked up her tilt-tip fountain pen and began to write nervously and intently.

"First place, I must get first place!"

It's not for the sake of competing with some young lady.

Just to win my own life.

She couldn't help but think of Li Wei. Although my brother said that he has a way to pay back the rent, let her not worry. He spoke lightly, as if he had planned for a long time.

But Lina knew very well that it was not so easy for her brother. He never had it easy.

So Kaya can lose, but she cannot lose.

Kaya lost, but lost a icing on the cake honor.

And if she loses, the brothers and sisters will still have to struggle in fear at the old Picheng's feet every day, sweating and bleeding for a few pieces of poor black bread.

So, one minute passed, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and when it was close to an hour...

When most students have already laid down and given up, or are still struggling with headaches:

"I finished!"

Lena stood up first.

"I finished!"

Just a few seconds later, Kaya Ferros also stood up.

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, and both sides saw sparks in each other's eyes.

"Finally someone finished it..."

"One hour is not bad."

Jess yawned, then smiled at Victor beside him:

"Victor, I heard that it took only half an hour for you to pass the examination and admission of Principal Heimerdinger. It seems that no one can break your record this year."

"The titles of the thesis are different, there is nothing comparable." Victor said in a calm tone: "And the speed is not necessarily good quality. We have to make a comprehensive comparison."

"Yes." Jess smiled and looked at Lena and Kaya in the audience, and encouraged the two talented girls, "Submit your thesis outline."

"Victor and I will give an objective and fair evaluation."

"Yes." Lina and Kayaziqi nodded.

They took their notebooks and manuscript papers and came to Jess and Victor.

"Professor Jess."

"Please help me take a look!"

Kaya was the first to hand over her thesis outline to Jess.

Jess took it and saw the name: "Kaya Ferros?"

Then look up at Kayana's distinctive silver-gray hair:

"Are you from the Philos family?"

"Mrs. Camille, who are you?"

"She's my great aunt." Kaya smiled confidently.

The Philos family masters the synthesis technology of artificial Hex gems, and the core of the Hex technology that Jess studies is developed from the artificial Hex gems of the Philos family.

Now that the Hextech industry is booming, there is naturally no shortage of interest exchanges between the two.

Sure enough, after hearing Kaya's self-report, Jess' attitude became more enthusiastic.

He picked up the paper and began to review it carefully, with a gentle face like some relative or elder of Kaya.

"This..." Lena couldn't help feeling nervous.

She only focused on fighting for strength, but forgot that his strength is far more than just writing.

"take it easy."

At some point, Victor came to her side.

He lowered his voice and comforted, "Jess is an upright person, you don't need to think about it."

"Yes..." Lina nodded pitifully.

"Show me your thesis outline. As long as you're good enough, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

"Hmm!" Lena looked at Victor gratefully, then turned the notebook to the page where she wrote the outline of the thesis, and finally handed it carefully to Victor.

"May I have your name?"

"Lena."

"What about the last name?"

"I..." Lena suddenly became nervous: "My ancestors are immigrants from Ionia, so my surname should be Li... But, you can call me Lena... No one will call me No surname, and no surname was registered when I enrolled... I can also say that it is... no surname."

Viktor froze as he flicked through his notebook.

There's only one type of people who don't have a last name, the Zaunites.

Because almost 70% of Zaan are orphans, their parents either died young, or they were abandoned by their parents because they couldn’t afford to support them.

Parents are both, in Zaan only children with good family conditions can enjoy it.

So unknowingly, the surname culture disappeared in Zaun.

People in Zaun take whatever surname they want, regardless of who their parents are.

Or, like Lena, don't base your name on a surname at all. The first name is easy to pronounce, and the last name is simply lost.

"Mr. Victor..."

Lina lowered her head nervously, and pinched the corner of her clothes awkwardly.

To the people of Zaun, there are almost only three kinds of Piltovers: Discriminators, Discriminators who discriminate in their hearts but don't say it, and Discriminators in their hearts but don't realize it.

She was very worried that her identity as a Zaun would affect Professor Victor's evaluation of her.

"You don't have to be afraid..." Victor sighed softly.

He patted Lena's shoulder tenderly, and said softly:

"My name is Victor."

"Huh?" Lina raised her head abruptly.

"Just Victor—"

"No last name."
