It had actually been a long time since the day of Ethan's painting duel.
However, as soon as he set foot in Winster University, he immediately caught the attention of many people.
After all, universities remain relatively pure places where people more often recognize talent.
Even the professors and lecturers from the College of Arts were exceedingly polite when they encountered Ethan.
They had all witnessed his unfinished masterpiece that day and were already impressed, envious, and even jealous of his artistic accomplishments.
He's definitely someone who could grow to become a master in the future.
So why not seize the opportunity to build a relationship now?
Ethan was happy to oblige.
Position, status, all woven through a network of connections.
He followed El to complete the formal lecturer procedures, clarified his salary, and settled on class timings.
