Chapter 140: Professor Hua.
"Ah, that's right. That is the reason you came here. Wait a minute. I will find out!" The teacher exclaimed and then ran over to his desk and began to type. Haru looked back at Yun who seemed just as confused as he was. He then sighed. As she leaned in next to his ear.
"What is with this guy? I have been in this class for a year already and I have never seen him act this way before. I think bringing you here was a Bad Idea. You should have warned me you were famous." Yun whispered with a laugh.
"I didn't know I was famous Especially not for some exam paper answer. If I knew this would happen I would have used a fake name" Haru seemed disappointed in himself. He did try to purposely get a few questions wrong on purpose but he couldn't because the answers were so easy it felt impossible to get them wrong.
"How do you not know that? Did you grow up without the Internet or something?" Yun asked surprised. But that was exactly the case. Haru lived almost thirty years without using the Internet, and he only really used it to get directions to places.
Haru laughed her question off as the teacher skipped back over excitedly.
"Good news. You are in professor Hua's class. Miss Hao, can you take him to the right classroom please?" The teacher said and then asked Yun.
Yun smiled and then took Haru's arm once again.
"Come on. It's not that far." She reassured him as they walked back out into the corridor. They headed up a set of stairs to the third floor and then stopped at the first room on that floor.
Yun stopped and then knocked on the door. It looked like she wasn't too confident that she could manipulate this teacher's actions with her families influence.
"One minute!" A voice from the inside shouted out. A few moments went by before the door shot open.
A man stood in the doorway with one hand resting on the frame. He was about the same height as Haru but was so skinny that he looked sick. His hair was long and black and was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head and he had a few days of stubble growing on his pain to go with the dark circles beneath his eyes.
"What do you want?" He asked sounding blunt and uninviting of the distraction to his class. He looked down at Yun and then his eyes trailed up before meeting eyes with Haru.
"Sorry to disturb you, professor Hua. I was asked to bring Haru to you. He is one of your students but he started a little bit late." Yun's attitude seemed to change dramatically. She no longer had the confidence to walk into the class like she owned the place. It seemed she had met her match in the form of a sickly looking science teacher.
"Haru? Hmm I remember the principal saying something about a new student" He thought for a second and then looked back at Haru.
"Well come on in then. Don't waste time standing out there." Professor Hua said and then opened the door a little more revealing the small group of students sat inside. His class consisted of around twenty people in total compared to the class they had just been too with at least fifty people inside.
Haru looked at Yun for a second. She smiled before turning to walk away but then looked back at him.
"I will wait for you outside the front door after class." She said before waving as she walked down the corridor.
"Are you coming in or not?" Professor Hua said in a single tone before Haru entered the room. The atmosphere of the people in the room gave off the same atmosphere the teacher did. They all seemed depressed and tired.
"Good. Okay, sit over there." He said to Haru before pointing to an empty seat at the back of the classroom. Haru followed his directions and sat down in the empty seat. The rest of the class watched on like mindless zombies not even taking notice of Haru when he entered the room.
As I was saying" Professor Hua carried on with his class as if nothing had happened. Haru sat there and took in the information that he was giving them up until the end of the lesson. That was when Professor Hua noticed that Haru hadn't even brought a notebook with him.
"Where is your notebook?" He asked with the same tired expression before walking over to Haru's desk where he had sat memorising the whole class.
"I didn't bring it with me. All my things are still in my dorm." Haru spoke with a calm air of confidence since he knew he could just write down everything that they had gone over in class once he got back to his dorm if he needed too. It's not like he needed too though since he had already memorised dozens of chemistry books during his preparation for his highschool exams.
"You didn't bring your notebook? How do you expect to remember what we have gone over today if you weren't taking notes?" Professor Hua asked. This time his voice sounded like he had become agitated but his facial expressions remained the same.
"I didn't really learn anything though. Weren't you just going over some basic information?" Haru asked slightly confused. He had read a book that went a lot more in-depth about the subject he was teaching.
"Basic? Do you really think this is basic? How about I make put together some bio-molecular research homework for you and you can tell me about all the antibodies common antibiotics affect? Would that still be basic for you?" He asked while obviously outraged by Haru's lack of interest in the class.
He didn't give Haru a chance to reply before walking back to his desk and then printing out a stack of paper before handing it back to Haru.
"You know what. You can do just that. I expect this to be done by Friday. You have three days and you better not slack in future lessons." Professor Hua said before giving the stack of papers to Haru.
"Class is dismissed. I'm in a bad mood now" He said through deep breaths as he tried to calm himself.
Haru didn't waste any time getting up from his seat. The class was much longer than he was used to. It was around two and a half hours in length which was double the length of his high school classes.
He was the last person to leave the room and the last person to receive any words from his teacher for the day.
"Close the damn door." Professor Hua sighed as Haru turned and closed the door behind him.
"I swear these kids will give me an aneurysm." Professor Hua complained to himself as he sat in silence.
