The second day of school... Raynier feels that it's a waste of time going because it's better to do his cultivation and get stronger sooner. Even if he wants to take a leave, thinking about what his mother will do to him... it's better to irradiate that thought and think of another solution.
" Mr. Hei, you can drop me here."
" But young master, we still haven't arrived at the school."
" Don't bother Mr. Hei. I'll just walk from here on. And it looks ostentatious." He said as he looked at the other cars where the security team were. Madam Zheng arranged it to secure her son's safety.
Raynier walked for at least two blocks away from his school. Almost all the students were dropped by a car or driving a car. Some students walked by the gates. That means they were just people who were able to attend the prestigious school through scholarships.
When Raynier got inside his classroom and the teacher came in after him... the teacher began his roll calling. Everything went smoothly until the instructor asked everyone to take out their Business Management book.
" Open your book on page five for the introduction of our lesson for today."
The teacher instructed and he saw Raynier wasn't doing anything, so he walked towards him.
" Mister Zheng, I asked you to take out your book and open it on page five. Where is your book?"
" Teacher, I am sorry, but I didn't bring anything with me, so I don't have my book with me."
" I will forgive you for today's blunder, but next time, I will make you stand until the class finishes."
" Sir, I didn't mean to make a misunderstanding, I really intended to leave my books because it's a hassle for me to bring things when I have already memorized everything inside."
The look of his teacher's face was full of dismay and he thought that what Raynier said was inconceivable. The other students thought that he was too arrogant to say something implausible. The teacher wanted to berate him but Raynier started to recite the book.
The instructor checked out the book and everything he uttered was correct. He didn't miss anything and also made some explanations in some parts. Everyone in the class was astounded by what Raynier had done.
" You did well, Mister Zheng! That was outstanding! Everyone must learn from him from now on." The teacher said and that made everyone complain to each other because of pressure that caused them.
" Sir, isn't it too much to expect from us to memorize everything inside the book? Look sir, even you can't even memorize the whole thing." A guy said as it represents everyone's opinion.
" That was just an expression. I don't expect much from you guys, however, I want you all to take your studies seriously and consider Mr Zheng as your role model."
" Then I should not bring my books next time with me, teacher." Chloe mockingly exclaimed.
" You can be excused from not bringing your own books as long as you memorize all that's written inside, just like Mr Zheng." The teacher commented. Almost everyone tried their best to stifle their laugh as they sneered with ridicule at Chloe.
All throughout the day, Raynier did the same thing to all his classes. He recites what's inside the book to appease his teachers who get annoyed because he didn't bring any books with him.
Inside the faculty room, all the instructors who encountered Raynier talked about him being one of a kind. This kind of talent must not be taken lightly. He will be the pride of the school and this generation as a genius. The teachers are discussing how they will nurture him.
All the teachers who met Raynier gathered at the front door of the school president's office. They want to report the whole thing to the president to reform a plan on cultivating Raynier's intellectual capacity. And aside from developing his intelligence, they want to encourage him to be more engrossed in learning inside the class.
It was only the second day of attending school, but Raynier never knew that his plan of being low-key was already a failure. He became popular in an instant. Almost everyone is talking about a guy who didn't bring anything with him while attending a class but can still surprise everyone by reciting what's inside the book.
...
RING RING RING
Inside Zheng's mansion, the telephone rings. The butler picked it up and answered the call.
" Good evening. This call is from Regiis Orientem Lucis University. I would like to inquire if I am talking to Mister Raynier Zheng's parents..."
" Wait a moment sir, I will call madam for you to talk to her regarding my young master."
"Alright. Thank you."
The butler goes to where Madam Zheng is and tells her that they got a call from the school where Raynier is studying.
" Hello. I am Minerva Zheng, mother of Raynier Zheng. I heard that you called regarding my son. Did he cause some unnecessary problems at the school? I will reprimand him if ever."
" No, it's not like that, Madam Zheng. I am calling you because your son is so great. What I mean is, he is a one in a lifetime genius that will be born at least every thousand years."
" What do you mean by that, sir?"
The president of the school talked about what all the teachers of Raynier Zheng said to Madam Zheng. He then explained everything that came about. Madam Zheng felt so proud of her son as the school president sang praises to her son.
"... so I am proposing that we need to cultivate such talent, madam."
" I see. I am not against your idea but, of course, I will support whatever my son's desire and what makes him feel contented. And I don't care even if he fails, as long as he's happy."
