1 The Fool Enters

Year 2015, The University of Auckland, New Zealand—

In the Management Branch, a class was filled with second year students which looked with full of vitality. And at the same time, it looked like all the students were in some kind of hurry.

"Damn it! I am yet to finish completion of my records! Mrs. Harrington will kill me now." ,Kurt said with frustration filled face.

Kurt was the local student. He born and grew up in New Zealand. And hid father was a big shot. He was a politician. So naturally Kurt grew up with arrogance.

"What were you doing for the entire semester?" ,an Indian named Umang asked.

Umang's family was from India. But they migrated to Auckland 25 years ago. So Umang naturally born in New Zealand which makes him the genuine citizen of the New Zealand country.

"Well..." ,Kurt was speechless. What exactly he could say? Mrs. Harrington announced for the completion of the project records around three months ago. Three months was more than enough time for anyone to complete the project records. And yet Kurt completed less than half of his project record.

Three months ago he didn't care much when the announcement was made regard the project record with deadline date. At that time, Kurt thought that they had three months of time. That means they had plenty of time. He could take a little break and start it later.

In the blink of an eye, one month had passed. Kurt found excuses for himself as he didn't start his project records yet. But he thought that they still had two months of time. Even though he didn't start his project records yet, he still had plenty of time.

One month ago, he found another excuse as how he blamed the workload of other subjects in the semester made his life difficult to start his project records.

Just like that, he found different excuses for different days. He only opened his eyes three days prior to the submission date of the project records. And then he frantically started his project records.

After three days of hard work, he couldn't complete even half of the project record. And just like that, three days passed in the process.

Time is the heartless bitch. It never wait for anyone. It won't wait for even gods. What a mere Kurt amount to?

The University of Auckland always maintained the trend of dividing a two people team in the campus. Who is going to be your teammate will be decided on the first day of the first semester. Kurt was teamed up with Umang.

Umang had a lot of headache now. He naturally knew how Kurt thinking pattern works. The evaluation of the project was based on the two student team performance. It was the responsibility of a team member to make sure that their teammate is completing the project record on time. Later if they didn't complete it, then it is not the responsibility of the university for their mistake.

Youth always had the natural tendency for learning bad things quickly. Umang was neither bright nor poor in studies. He was above average. But after teaming up with Kurt, even though he still completed his project records in time, he still learned how to be lazy.

Even though he won't fail in the semester regarding this subject, it will still affect his overall ratings. Projects and records always give more marks for a student than a theory subject. It is a trump card of every student to improve overall ratings of a semester. And now because of his partner's laziness, his trump card is going to be useless.

Just as both Kurt and Umang were thinking how to get away from this situation, Umang's eyes fell on his neighbor bench. There was a record book placed on the bench. And the bench was empty as the owner of the record went out of the class for some reason.

The class is yet to start. So it is natural for the students to go out for their own personal reasons during this period. They would naturally come back before the class starts.

Umang made sure that no one was watching him. After confirming it, he slowly moved his hand towards that record book. After looking around for a moment and making sure that no one is watching him, he silently picked up that record book.

He then opened the record book's first page which was regarding the personal information of the student. And surprisingly, there was no name on the record book. The owner of the book might have forgotten to write their name on the book.

Umang flipped the pages and found to his excitement that the project was actually completed. Everyone will work on the same project in the semester. All the teams will work on one topic throughout the semester. So the topic had always been same.

Umang gave the record to Kurt and said, "Take this book. Write your name on it quickly before the owner comes back."

"Whose book is this?" ,Kurt found that this record book had no name. But he still didn't hesitate to write his name. Who cares about the true owner of the book as long as he was saved from this predicament. He was the son of a politician. So never gave a damn about anything unless it is important for him.

"Shirley!" ,Umang replied.

"Fuck!!!" ,Kurt couldn't help but curse, "Didn't you have the crush on her? And you are spoiling her future!?"

"Well, that's right. But she always hangs up with that "Fool" which always makes me angry." ,Umang said, "She had to be taught a lesson."

"How heartless!" ,Kurt smirked, "But I like that."

"Well, I have a plan in my mind." ,Umang smiled and said, "This will not only solve your record issue, but it will also make Shirley hate that "Fool" to the point of no return."

Then Umand told his plan to Kurt in a low voice. After hearing the plan. Kurt's eyes brightened. He said, "You damn bastard! You were supposed to be in the politics with your cunningness. I like your plan."

At that time, a person came and whispered something in Kurt's ears. As soon as Kurt heard this, he smiled. He then looked at the entrance and said loudly which was heard by everyone, "Attention Please! The class is about to be blessed with the arrival of his majesty "The Fool". Everyone please stand up and ay your respects."

As soon as this mocking introduction was finished, a chubby fat person entered the class room. This person was not insanely fat. But he was still fat enough to weight around 94kgs. His skin was browny white. He was sweating non stop which gave a reeking smell to the students. His hair didn't have any proper hairstyle in an order.

For the people who looked at him, he looked just like a big Fool!
