Chapter 139: Taste of fame.
"And here is the science department," Yun said and then pointed toward the large four-story building that stood in the centre of the whole campus. She had led Haru around the whole campus in the fifteen minutes they had before classes would start. It was a brief tour but at least he had an idea of the layout of the place.
They then walked into the building that stood before them. It was silent as the classes had already started but that didn't stop Yun from walking through the doors like she owned the place.
The sounds of their shoes echoed around the empty hallway before she stopped at the door of a room and then suddenly opened it. The class went silent as they saw Yun standing in the doorway.
The teacher's gaze glanced toward the doorway with frustration. He couldn't believe that he had been interrupted. He looked at Yun who was standing there and then immediately swallowed his pride.
"Miss Hao, Come and join us." He put on his best smile and welcomed her into the classroom before seeing the boy stood behind her in the corridor. His frustration then turned to Haru.
"You!? Are you in this class too? Why are you late? I demand a good explanation for this." He said and then was cut short by Yun.
"Sorry about that Sir. This is my cousin and it is his first day here. I don't know what class he is in so I decided to bring him here because I thought you would know." Yun smiled back at the teacher who once again swallowed his pride.
"Of course. That's not a problem at all. What is his name? I will find out what class he is supposed to be in." The teacher forced another smile and then walked over to the computer and then looked back at Yun.
Yun looked back at Haru before dragging his arm and walking closer to the teacher who was stood by the desk in the centre of the room.
"Haru Kitagawa." Haru stepped forward and said.
The teacher began to type and then paused. He looked up at the ceiling as a thought came to mind. He then looked back at Haru in shock.
"Haru Kitagawa? As in the student the principle has been talking about for the last couple of months?! You were the number one student in the whole country right? I even read your thesis when It was released by the exam board." The teacher began to talk while gathering his thoughts once more. He swallowed his pride even more and then practically ran over to Haru's side.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. And can I just say I your thesis opened my eyes when I read it? You might not know this but the principle has made it mandatory to teach the theory you came up with." The teacher began to praise Haru's work in the science field.
'What is he talking about? I just memorised a few science books and then filled in the gaps. I didn't really think of anything new. It was a pretty obvious answer Isn't he overreacting a bit too much?' Haru thought as he didn't realise the significance of his exam answers.
In fact, people had already begun to research more into his theory of destruction and reconstruction of matter but most people were still far away from understanding how to put the theory into a physical test. But that information was new to Haru. He had been sticking to himself for a while and didn't really read up on things too much.
But if he searched his name on the Internet there were already new articles about him. Although non of them was front-page worthy since no one had any information on who he was since the school and exam board refused to give any information about him.
"Can I shake your hand? It would be an honour" The teacher said and then stared at Haru to await his response.
"Um I just want to know where my class is:" Haru stated. He felt slightly disgusted by the stranger before him who was praising him like a mad stalker. Haru looked back at the rest of Yun's classmates as a flash of light went off.
Someone had just taken a picture of him. Haru saw the person who did it. It was a woman at the back of the room. She had her head on the desk and was pretending to sleep but the flash had come from underneath her jacket.
The teacher turned around instantly.
"Which one of you did that? Who took that picture!?" He shouted as sweat began to pour from his forehead. He looked back at Haru who had already begun to scan the room with Qi.
Haru's face remained unchanging and calm as he used his Qi to slash a small hole in the back of the phone. The bit of Qi he used to slash hit the mark perfectly and destroyed the memory card inside the phone. It was silent and the owner of the phone didn't even realise what had happened as she put the phone into her pocket.
"Come on! Which one of you did it? Admit to your mistake and I might go easy on you! You know photographing teachers without their permission is against the rules. You can be suspended for that. If you admit to it now then I will forgive you." The teacher addressed the class who all just silently looked on.
He then looked back up at Haru who towered over him.
"What is it?" The teacher felt nervous and his voice quivered as he was stood in Haru's shadow.
'This guy is so weird. Why did a university like this hire such a teacher? He just seems to throw his weight around Does he have some kind of brain injury?' Haru thought as he looked down at the teacher with pity.
"I just need to find out what class I am in" Haru stated once again with the same expression he had previously.
