After a slight sigh, Fade walked into the building.
He did not know the location of Master Choi's office, and there was no such thing as a map in this old building. He could only look into each and every room.
After searching on the first floor, he still did not find Flynt's office. Hence, he headed for the stairs and was ready to go upstairs to look for him.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, a crisp female voice could be heard, "Hi, what's wrong?"
He turned around and saw a girl, who was around 19 years old, standing in front of him. She was the one who asked him politely with a smile on her face.
It seemed that she was a student of the Chinese Medicine School who thought that he was a student of the National Medical College as well.
Without further explanation, Fade smiled and asked, "Hello, may I ask where Professor Choi's office is? Can you point out the way for me?"
Hearing that, the girl smiled and said, "So, you are also looking for Professor Choi too! His office is on the top floor. Follow me, I'll take you there!"
"Alright, thank you." He expressed his gratitude before going upstairs with the girl. He had some small talk with her along the way, "Are there a lot of students in the school looking for Professor Choi?"
The girl, whose name was Felicity, looked at him and replied, "Of course! Professor Choi is a National Chinese Medical Doctor as well as an imperial physician in the Capital City Imperial Hospital. In the Chinese medicine field, he is a famous figure, thus there are a lot of people who would look for him."
Fade nodded. He immediately smiled, "You must be very lucky to be Master Choi's student. If so, you can meet him regularly!"
She nodded and answered solemnly, "That's right. Last year, I indeed applied for the Chinese Medicine School of National Medical College because of Master Choi."
"I see. Are you a first year student?" He asked casually.
She replied, "Yes, it has been half a year since I've enrolled in the school. Many classmates of mine are just like me since they all have enrolled here just for Master Choi, but now, some people in our class are regretting it."
"Regretting it? Why? Master Choi is such a famous professor. Why do they regret it?" He asked.
Felicity pursed her lips and frowned, "Chinese medicine is too unpopular. It's too troublesome and difficult to learn. Besides, Master Choi's teaching is quite strict. Some students haven't been able to cope well, saying that it is way more difficult than high school. Because of that, some have decided to transfer courses."
Hearing this, Fade could only sigh. At the same time, he understood the students' concerns.
Back in the days, Chinese medicine was usually taught from a young age. One would start learning from an early age, from memorizing different concoctions to learning about herbs and various prescriptions. Without years of effort, they wouldn't be experienced in it.
Nowadays, a lot of students had never been exposed to Chinese medicine when they were young. Once they got to college, they would have to learn everything from the very beginning. Naturally, it would be harder for them as Master Choi had stricter requirements as well.
However, Fade did not want to say too much. They chose this difficult path in the very beginning, only to complain about how hard and unpopular it was. If they decided to give up and stop studying because of that, it would be all their fault.
Felicity noticed his contemplative look for a while. She mumbled, "Actually, I'm feeling a little regretful too."
"Oh, you don't want to learn Chinese medicine either?" He looked at her with some surprise. Just a while ago, she seemed to be quite interested in Chinese medicine. Why did she suddenly say she regretted it?
Hearing that, she quickly waved her hands and laughed, "No, no, I didn't mean it like that. It's not that I don't want to learn Chinese medicine."
"What do you mean then?" He asked.
