Chapter 20 - Jack Again (2/2)

”Before I end the session, I might as well inform you all that sessions will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Make sure to show up on time, I don't appreciate tardiness. Dismissed.” With that, the session came to and end.

”Prof, after what you have just taught us, who would want to miss out?” A student at the front said.

”Yeah, only an idiot would give up on a chance to listen to your lectures!”

”This was an amazing lecture! If I could, I would skip every other class and only devote my time to these lectures and reviewing them!”

”I learnt so much, can't wait to try it out tonight!”

The bulk of the class exited after talking amongst themselves gleefully. The majority of students were talking about forming study groups to better analyse the lecture notes, and others were already heading to the library to do just that. Only a single person besides Simon remained.

”Prof... I finished the exercise.” Jack spoke in a sad voice.

”I am sorry for doubting your knowledge...”

”It is fine, but you must continue to work hard. I expect great things from you, Jack!” These words hit Jack at his core, making him feel shocked and happy. Somehow, some professor that he had just met, had taught him how important theory could be, and treated him with dignity even though he had been incredibly rude. Feeling thankful, Jack left the auditorium with a tear flowing from his left eye. For the first time in his life, he felt respect for an a.d.u.l.t.

As the room became quiet, Simon gathered his belongings and disappeared from sight, only to appear in his dorm room.

'Minor teleportation. Something that I just found out that Master ranks can do. It might only have the range of 2 kilometres, but that's good enough!'

*sigh*

'Working as a professor sure seems fun, but it's so f.u.c.k.i.n.g tiring for me!'

”Vice-principal Feng, we have tracked down the student that you were looking for. He is Simon Grey, an aristocratic youth. He belongs to the C-class of 1st year. What shall we do sir?”

”Invite him to my mansion, I'll have him meet my niece. It is best to attract youths while they are still mouldable. I will make a great man out of him, and Haven will definitely benefit! The old Principal is still waiting for me to find a disciple, I can't keep him waiting!”
