Leonard Ethan had managed to tie up a lot of loose ends during his time at home, but staying there all day was getting tedious. As he began to wonder if there was anywhere he could go, he received a very formal invitation.
The invitation was from Cork University, essentially acknowledging his significant achievements and inviting him to give a talk at his alma mater in a week's time.
The content of the lecture was straightforward: he was to share his experiences over the years to inspire the younger students, boost everyone's morale and promote academic diligent.
It seemed to be a universal custom among universities worldwide to invite celebrities they could find to deliver speeches and motivate their students.
In fact, Leonard Ethan had received quite a few invitations of this kind in the past, but he had politely declined most of them, since they were generally full of abstract ideas, and the invited universities were rather ordinary.
