Chapter 38: School Scientist Murder Case [BEGINNING]

***

After a while, I calmed down with a smug on my face.

'It just has been 5 months but they missed me so much?' I sighed inwardly as I wear the suit for school.

Yes... That hellish place.

It is already been 5 months and it is already the final semester of my grade. I have to take the homework and exams from those months that I am asleep to get back my good grades.

My school, friends, school teachers, and classmates know that I am in a coma but they didn't know that I am going to school today.

Well, I don't know how to deal with my eyes so I am going to school with my new so-called [Dragon Eyes]. My [Eyes of Light] is still working on my new eyes and it increased its effectivity rather than regressed.

My eyes are so sensitive that it hurts when something comes in contact with my eyes such as dirt, debris, or even contact lenses.

If I am going to talk about a weakness, then my weakness is definitely my eyes.

After waking up yesterday, I know that today is May 05, 2030, Monday and there are many things that happened in the whole world but I don't care about them. It is too annoying to worry about things that are not related to me, after all.

I entered my [Black Cheetah] and went to school with my school bag and my bracelet that seals aura.

Though, it can't seal the mana though.

It is created by the legendary craftsman that let you seal your power by wearing it. I am only wearing it for two things: sleeping and for school.

If I don't wear the bracelet as I sleep, my room might be in a mess. I don't know but I can't control my aura during nighttime. I also wear it while inside the game capsule but not all the time. It is because my mind is still awake inside the game while my body is just resting...

***

I arrived pretty earlier and there is still almost no student here.

'I should rest for a while...' I thought to myself as I lower my head to my desk to rest.

I am not sleeping but resting my mind for a while. After yesterday, I still have the feeling of tiredness in my body and mind.

'Resting for a while is really great.' I smiled inwardly as I gathered mana using the technique that the past me gives.

The technique of merging and using the power of the core of every planet, realm, galaxy, or universe. As far as I know, The past me can only use the power of a galaxy, he is still weak even though he is a god.

But I am proud that my past life is a great person.

"Goodmorning class." The voice of a familiar woman ringed through my ears and then I immediately greet the teacher as the student's tradition.

"Let us have the attendance first, just raise your hand or say "present" so that I would know if you are here..." The teacher continued as I noticed that almost nobody noticed me.

Well, I am sitting at the farthest seat from the teacher and I am alone there. Sometimes, my best friend, Thomas is sitting next to me but I guess, he also didn't notice me.

"Polymer Anderson?"

"Yes!"

"Vanessa Azama?"

"Yes!"

...

...

"Theo Xerion... I guess he is still not here, he is still in a coma..."

Theo Xerion is my name here at school. My father and mother did it last year. They removed and changed all of my information in my school. That is why I am also mad at them at that time because I want my classmates to know who I am so that they won't get surprised if there is something happened.

"Umm-- I am present..." I said lazily as I stared at the birds chirping on a tree next to the window.

Everyone started to look dumbly at my desk.

"Theo--Xerion?" The teacher asked.

"Yes, teacher. Is there anyone else here with an X surname?" I scoffed as I sighed which made everyone dumbfounded.

If I am going to guess, they are thinking that I changed too much. Not just my hair and eyes but also my personality. I am kind of friendly last year, after all.

"Congratulations!! You are finally awake!" Thomas said from the front of the classroom and followed by the cheer of my classmates. 'What is with their reaction? Are they happy?'

I just don't get the reaction of other people anymore...

The whole class went uproar and the teacher left the room to report what happened today.

'Is she not going to teach anything?'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, a teacher finally showed up and taught us something. This time is a complicated ma

"By the way, Theo. Your hair has better contrast and they blend perfectly, not just that, your eyes! How the hell is your eyes red now?" Thomas exclaimed asked as he stared closely at my face.

"You are too close! How'd you know that my eyes are red, not because of a contact lens?" I asked as I moved away from his face from mine.

"Well, it is kind of obvious, you know? Your eyes can't handle contact lenses after all." He is an honest guy, he is easy becomes a victim of betrayal if he continued like this.

I am also impressed that he remembered that despite saying it from 5 years ago when we are in primary school.

"Well, as you know, I got into an accident and my eyes are severely damaged at that time. My family decided to let me have an iris transplant surgery and someone with red eyes volunteered to become the donor for me." I stood up as I noticed that everyone is going out.

'What time is it?' I looked at my phone and noticed that it is already the time of lunch break.

"But you are lucky that someone volunteered. No one wants no eyes, right?" He stood up and walked towards the exit door.

"Let's eat?" He invited as he reached waved his hands inwardly, suggesting to follow him.

"I am also kind of hungry, let's go..." I said as I continued walking towards him.

"Is he that guy? He is hot!" I heard a woman from the hallway said as she stares at me with lustful eyes.

"He is so handsome!" Another girl said.

I just didn't mind them and continued walking towards the cafeteria. The cafeteria is large here in this school.

This school, the Kirvin High School is a school that is funded by three of the great families, after all. It is including Xeros, King, and Scott. The three great families didn't just fund this but they are also the ones who built this amazing school.

Every room is larger than my bedroom, the cafeteria is almost half the size of our household and the gym is very huge where you can even think that it is a building for something extravagant but it is only a simple gym with several courts inside.

Basketball, tennis, badminton, and other sports excluding the swimming court are inside this gym in different locations.

The swimming pool where the swimmers' practice is on the other side of the school. It looks like the smaller version of the main gym.

I sat down as I stared at the window--no, I can't say that it is a window or a wall. It is because the cafeteria is surrounded by glasses, after all. It is the only building made out of glass while the others are made of hard metals such as tungsten, steel, or titanium.

Just by looking at the exterior of the school, I can say that this school costs more than a billion or ten billion.

We ordered the same orders that we have every time we eat here. A sandwich or salad and milk.

Thomas is already used to my routine so without him knowing, he is also becoming addicted to salad and milk.

I bit the sandwich and felt the juiciness of meat and vegetable inside of it.

'As expected, it is still delicious!' I smiled widely as I chew the sandwich in my mouth. But then, "Ahh!!"

A shout can be heard outside the cafeteria.

If you entered the cafeteria, there is the library, science room, an observatory room. But by the location of the shout, I am sure that it is in the science room since it is the closest.

...

I dashed as fast as I could towards the science room. The door is opened and the woman who shouted is frightened by the thing she is looking at.

I looked inside the science and I saw a corpse.

A corpse of a professor that once taught us. He is sitting down

I immediately went inside and checked his breathing and pulse.

"I will call an ambulance!" The man who is next to the woman said immediately.

"H-how was it?" The woman asked in fear as I shook my head.

"Based on the rigor mortis, he is already dead for two to three hours. His face is already completely stiff and cold and the stiffness is already spreading to his neck." I said as I immediately looked at the broken bloody vase with an Aztec pattern on it.

The blood is dry, it seems like this is a murder.

"There is no need for the ambulance, contact the police instead... This is murder" I said coldly which made everyone shuddered.

"Ye-yes!" The man said as he dialed 911.

'Hmm?' I said as I stared at the computer in front of him.

A bunch of numbers is typed inside the memo.
