Harvey's jaw dropped.Even if he didn’t trust Frederick, he wouldn’t question Stephano.Given Stephano’s standing in the physics community, he had no reason to help someone cheat. Besides, it wasn’t that hard to prove Frederick's identity.If Stephano was found to be a liar, his reputation would be ruined.That meant…This young man really was a Chris Prize winner!Harvey trembled all over at this moment. Not only did Frederick win a Chris Prize at such a young age, but he was also a Drakonian.Harvey feared for his life and his own uncertain future. Between a Chris Prize winner and a chief academic officer, he could easily guess who the school would choose."Back then, I wanted to join your team. Unfortunately, your team was full. Later, when you were on the podium, I looked up at you from below. You said something to me. You said if we met again, you'd let me be your disciple. I wonder if that promise still stands?" Stephano was in tears.Frederick finally recalled who this
"Mr. Curt, I'm so glad you're here! I won't be writing my resignation letter. I'll verbally resign right now," Stephano said when he saw Hank Curt. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.After all, he had taught in Number Twelve Institution for several years. He would be lying if he said he felt no attachment to this place."Huh? Resignation?"Hank was dumbfounded.Stephano was irreplaceable in Number Twelve Institution. As long as he was here, the school would have a symbol of excellence. He was also the spiritual totem of the school."Professor Yates, is there something we're not doing well? We'll change it right away!" Hank said, panicked.Stephano shook his head, and sighed."Mr. Curt, thanks to your care, my time at Number Twelve Institution has been very enjoyable. However, since Mr. Washington refuses to let Dr. Faux join the school, I have to leave with Dr. Faux. Don't bother trying to persuade me. Dr. Faux is the light that guides me in my pursuit for knowledge. I
However, Frederick wasn’t moved and kicked Harvey away."You asked for it. You deserve what's coming for you," Frederick said coldly.Soon, Harvey was escorted away by law enforcers."Dr. Faux…" Hank rubbed his hands together, and looked humbly at Frederick. It was a look that would shock anyone who knew him and saw it.Hank was a renowned individual in the field of education. Even in the Ministry of Education, he was a guest of honor among the executives. If he made a suggestion in the field of education, all the education professionals in the country would have to listen to him."Just call me Lukas."Frederick displayed a much more amiable expression. He nodded at Hank.Hank let out a long sigh of relief. Based on Frederick's attitude, there was still a chance of recruiting him into Number Twelve Institution."I'll be so bold as to call you Professor Faux."Professor Faux, it was just a tiny misunderstanding earlier. Look, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. We at Numb
Hank was overjoyed, and immediately led Frederick to sign the contract.Frederick didn’t even need to mention the materialistic terms. Hank took the initiative to satisfy all his needs.These included a private villa in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, a Maybach S680, and an Imperial Capital residence permit.Frederick accepted the terms. It would all go to Lukas, anyway.Besides, his current identity had a residency in a foreign country. Disguising himself as Lukas gave him a residence permit in the Imperial Capital. This allowed him to do things in a more convenient way.After Frederick turned down Hank's suggestion for a banquet, he and Stephano strolled through the campus."Dr. Faux, you… You shouldn't have made that bet with Mr. Curt." Stephano had something on his mind."What's the matter? Do you not have faith in me?" Frederick glanced at him."Uhh…" Stephano felt a little embarrassed.The truth was, being a good researcher didn’t necessarily equate to being a goo
The reason they didn't want Frederick to become Class C's homeroom teacher wasn’t because they were afraid he’d win the bet, but because they feared for his safety.Meanwhile, news of the new Director of Education and Research at Number Twelve Institution caused an uproar on campus.“This is ridiculous! Miles has done a great job for years, and they simply replaced him like that?”“They brought in a lad who knows nothing about academics!”“They’re getting rid of someone once they have served their purpose?” Three senior professors gathered in an office, slamming their desks in frustration.“Let’s go! We need to confront this young punk!”Then, the three of them stormed toward the Director of Education and Research's office.Frederick had already moved into his new office, and was reviewing the school’s academic progress. It truly lived up to its reputation as the top high school in the country.The students had already learned the whole high school syllabus in their freshman
"I... I could only answer the first question! Patrick, how many could you answer?" whispered a middle-aged teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses to his colleague."Owen, what do you think if you could only answer one? I couldn’t answer any of them!" Patrick replied with a bitter smile.Owen Simpson was one of the top ten outstanding teachers in Drakonia this year, and the only chemistry professor among them. In a sense, he was considered the best chemistry teacher in Drakonia."Hopefully, that kid knows when to back out. The waters in Number Twelve Institution run too deep for someone like him," Owen said disdainfully."Is this your level as the school’s Head of Chemical Studies?" Frederick asked, smirking confidently after hearing the questions.The crowd was enraged at his arrogance. "He’s still being stubborn, huh?""What else can he do besides being stubborn? Go ahead and answer the questions if you think you’re that smart!""Exactly! I bet you can’t even answer one!"Every
Frederick smiled faintly while he cleared what was on the blackboard. Then, he immediately wrote down ten new questions."It’s not just for Professor Cadwell. If anyone here can solve even one of these questions, I’ll resign as Director of Education and Research instantly!" Frederick declared confidently as he placed the chalk down.Immediately, the chemistry teachers present were enraged. They were the best chemistry teachers in the country, but this young lad was looking down upon them. They gathered around the blackboard, confident they could easily tackle the questions.But soon, their expressions turned blank. The questions were within the high school chemistry syllabus, but they were completely stumped!Time ticked by.Finally, Owen broke the silence. "We lost." He sounded disheartened as he turned and walked away."Let me try!" Tom, the Head of Language Studies, snorted and stepped forward. He quickly recited the ten questions he had prepared. Without hesitation, Fre
Hank had assigned Frederick to Class 17, the only Class C in the senior year.As soon as Frederick entered the hallway, he was greeted by a loud commotion.It was class time now, and he approached Class 17 with a frown. The windows were completely covered with black paper, making it impossible to see inside.He tried to turn the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge.Then, he knocked on the door.The noise inside continued, and no one came to open the door for a long time.With one kick, Frederick forced the door open.Even someone as used to chaotic situations as he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned by what the scene before him.A teacher, dressed in a suit, was tied to a chair with tape wrapped around him. His clothes were tattered. One student was standing on the podium, holding a water bottle as he poured water over the teacher’s head. Another student had a whip in his hand and was whipping the teacher.The floor was littered with torn-up books.Several pairs of students
