Chapter 25: Professor Adam. (1/2)

After solving the problems with my wives and getting an outfit to disguise myself as James Smith, I go to college. When I get to college, I notice the students looking at me differently; they seemed to recognize me from the game that I played with Luan yesterday.

I also noticed some female students staring at me as if they were looking at prey, some male students were staring at me with explicit disdain on their faces.

Seeing all this, I just ignored it all and walked towards my classroom.

”Isn't he that player who jumped off across court yesterday? Did you see the video?” A man spoke.

”Yes, and to think that there was a player with those skills in this school... How did he never get recognized?” Another asked.

...I think I overreacted... Meh, I didn't mean to hide my changes from the start, what's the point of gaining powers if you can't use them?

I just have to avoid doing something humanly impossible, like jump to the height of a building or something. If things get out of hand I just have to get out of college, after all, I decided to stay in college just to satisfy my desire to play sports.

Arriving in the classroom, I realize I arrived too early; I look around and soon I see my economics teacher. He is a tall man, I think he is 200 cm tall, he has an amazing white mustache, white hair, and sapphire blue eyes; he was wearing a well-fitting suit and, despite being over 60 years old, he looked like a man who was in his 30s. In the past when his family and I went for a walk, I could see that under those clothes he wears there is a man with a well-trained body...

How did he manage to keep his body toned after being over 60 years of age?

”Oh, Victor... It's been a while since I've seen you in my class.” He spoke with a small smile on his face as he turned and looked at me.

Looking into Adam's sapphire blue eyes, I felt an instinctive danger in my body but, the moment I felt that danger, the feeling I got disappeared as if everything I felt was an illusion.

But I knew this wasn't an illusion… I decided to keep this incident locked in my head.

”Professor Adam... You talk as if we haven't known each other for years, it's only been three days since I came to your class.”

He laughed a little with an amused smile and said, ”Indeed.”

I walk up to the teacher and the closer I got to him, I couldn't help but look at his height with a bit of shock; he was the tallest man I've seen in person and a two-meter tall man can be very intimidating.

He leans against his desk and folds his arms as he looks at me, ”Tell me the news, I hear you had a show yesterday on the basketball court.”

”Do you know that too?” I asked in mock surprise.

”Everyone at this college knows what happened and you made a lot of enemies yesterday, after all, there are a lot of people who worship the captain of the basketball team.” He commented casually.

”Oh?” I display a small smile on my face.

He looked at my smile and soon he exhibited a smile of his own as if he understood something, ”But you don't mind, right?”

”How do you know?” I asked with mock shock as if he had discovered a big secret but, of course, I was still smiling.

”Heh Kid, how long do you think I've known you? I've watched you grow up with my kids, I know your personality very well.” He chuckled.

He and I laugh together in fun, this teacher is an old acquaintance of mine; he is the father of two of my childhood friends, Leona and Edward, this man's name is Adam William Lykos.

”But don't cause too much trouble, the dean of this college is supporting Luan, and he might try to do something with you.”

”Is he going to try to kick me out of college or something?” I spoke in disdain, if it was before I would be worried, but now? Now, I don't care anymore.

”Probably yes, but seeing as how you don't care, I think it's okay with you? Just don't cause too much trouble since that might make your parents sad.” He warned me.

”I appreciate the concern, but don't worry about my family; I'm sure my parents won't be upset about something like that.” After all, knowing my mother, if she finds out about every incident from beginning to end, she is going to try to sue the school. What about my dad? He'll just nod at me satisfied, after all, he was the kind of man who works things out with his fist in the past.

”Well, if you're saying so,” Adam said as if it didn't really matter to him.

”You look paler than before, are you eating well?” he asked curiously.

”Yes, with the food my mom gave me, I even gained muscle, look,” I said while pointing to my arm.

”Hahaha,” He laughed like he thought of something very funny. He and I both know I was lying but, as expected from my childhood friend's father, he's a man who doesn't care much about things that don't involve his kids directly.

From what I understand of Adam's personality, he's the kind of man who can see the world burn and he won't care. He would only care about something if his kids were in the crossfire, he's very protective of his family, and that's why he and I get along, after all, we are alike.

”You tell good jokes, Victor.” He spoke with a small smile.

”I didn't try to joke, as always your sense of humor is weird,” I commented.

”Try to live as long as I do, I'm sure you'll have a few screws loose in your head.”

He looks into my eyes and speaks in a deep voice like he's inducing me to do something, I even notice that his blue eyes sparkled for a few seconds, ”What do you think, Victor? Why don't you loosen up a little?”

”Huh? What are you talking about, teacher?” I asked confused.

He closes his eyes and sighs a little relieved, then he smiled, ”I was asking how long will you hide behind this 'mask' that you created yourself.”

”...Adam, you know that all beings with intelligence in this world who live in society hide their true 'self', right?” I spoke with a cold little smile.

”Indeed, after all, we weird beings have to adapt to society.” He spoke in a neutral tone, then looked at his watch.

”Victor, class is starting are you going to participate, or are you going somewhere?” He asked.

”I'm going to the swim club,” I said, I need to experiment to see if I have weakness in the water.

”Oh, I see, as I've known you for a long time, I'm going to put that you were present in today's class,” He said.

”Thank you, Professor Adam.” He didn't need to do this but, as it's a kind gesture, I just have to thank him.

Soon I leave the classroom and walk towards the swim club.

When Victor left the classroom, Adam walked towards the window and, with a simple gesture of strength, he jumps towards a tree. Then, soon after, he jumps towards a building away from the college; all his actions were very soft, it was like he hadn't made any noise at all.

On top of a tall building away from the college, Adam sighed to himself in relief, then he picks up a phone and searches the list for the contact named 'My princess'.

Adam coughed a little to disguise that he was relieved about something and clicked to call his daughter, the phone rings a little, and soon his daughter answers.

”Father,” Leona spoke into the phone.

”Oh, my little princess,” He spoke with a satisfied smile on his face.
