Parallel Memory

Even though this incident caused quite a disturbance in Hiro’s class, the training continued as usual.

Another professor soon came to teach the class as Professor William had left.

As they returned to their training, Hiro couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that Professor William was not someone to be underestimated, and he was worried about what kind of revenge the professor might try to take. Despite Professor Mia’s assurances, Hiro couldn’t shake the feeling that this was far from over.

But he tried his best to push those thoughts aside and focus on his training. No matter the problem, if one was strong enough, there was nothing that could pose a problem. With determination in his heart, Hiro redoubled his efforts and threw himself into his training with renewed vigor.

“Good! Good! How dare they treat me like this?”

Professor William roared furiously. His heart was filled with hatred as well as his mind was filled with revenge.

Professor Mia had reported the incident back to the principal. Usually, the principal would be busy and absent from Ace Academy but he would always be there to welcome the new students. He has yet to go anywhere.

Since the principal was there, Professor Mia thought that it was best to report to him. Even the vice-principal was a little powerless because of Professor William’s father.

However, the principal was different as he was a Rank-SS and had a bigger status than Professor William’s father. Even if they talked about connection, Ace Academy Principal is someone who had taught the strongest person in the human domain and was highly respected by others.

If there was someone in Ace Academy whose position and influence were bigger than William’s father, then it was the principal.

After listening to Professor Mia, the principal immediately called Professor William and suspended him for one week with his salary cut. He was also warned not to let such an incident happen again or else he would face expulsion.

“That insolent Mia! She dared to stand up to me in front of the students and complain to the principal!”

Professor William spat, pacing back and forth in the room.

“And that Hiro! He’s just a lowly commoner, yet he dared to defy me!”

“I won’t stand for it!”

Professor William continued, his voice laced with venom.

“I’ll show him. I’ll make him regret ever crossing me. And I’ll do it in a way that no one will be able to trace back to me. I’ll make them pay, I swear.”

As Professor Mia was Rank-S with a Diamond grade guild backing her, it would be difficult to do anything to her. Moreover, he was still courting her and believed that she would sooner or later become his.

But as for Hiro, he could not let him go. His pride had been hurt by Hiro and he was humiliated by Hiro. However, he stopped underestimating Hiro and viewed him as a great danger. He wanted to make sure that this time he made no mistake in eliminating Hiro.

“Did you bring the photos?”

Professor William said, seemingly commanding the air.

-WHOOSH!

In an instant, a couple of men whose faces were covered in black clothes appeared. They took out the photos and presented them to Professor William.

“Here, Sir!”

He glared hatefully at the picture of Yui Ernest. His mouth curled into a smile as he handed the picture back to his subordinates.

“Give this picture to Victor. He will know what to do!”

The subordinate knew better than to question their master. They simply nodded and said,

“Yes, Master. We will do as you command.”

Professor William nodded, satisfied.

“Good. Now go fetch me a goblet of wine. I have a lot of planning to do.”

“Elysia, seriously why were we trying to find senior Zero?”

Yui asked curiously.

Last time, she learned that Elysia had no idea about Zero’s power then also she was interested in Zero. She wanted to know the reason.

“Seriously! Let’s just focus on shopping!”

Elysia replied unwillingly to answer.

Today was the weekend and they had come to the city to shop. They were just looking around the shop and trying the dresses as they tried to find the best cloth that suited them.

It was a beautiful Saturday and Yui and Elysia had decided to spend the day shopping in the city. They browsed through various stores, trying on different outfits and searching for the perfect dress that would complement their unique styles.

As they tried on different clothing, they took their time to consider the fit and color, making sure to find the most suitable options for themselves. Despite the abundance of options, they remained patient and attentive, determined to find the perfect pieces to add to their wardrobes.

As they shopped, they chatted and laughed, enjoying each other’s company and the fun of the shopping experience.

However, Yui stopped herself from asking the question as she desperately wanted to know. Yui had known Elysia for a very long time and had never noticed her interest in boys which made her curious about why she was interested in Zero.

“Just tell me. I won’t speak of this to another soul.”

Yui continued trying to get Elysia to talk.

“Okay, Okay! Haaaa… “

Feeling that Yui was not going to give up anytime soon, she decided to tell.

Elysia said seriously.

*GULP!

Seeing Elysia act so serious, Yui also felt that what she was going to tell would be incredible information or something very important.

Elysia turned her head left and right to make sure nobody was nearby. Then she got closer to Yui as she whispered.

“This is something that I heard from my sister. You know the one working for The Authority.”

Elysia said.

“You know that Tech Genesis owner is still unknown, right?”

“What? Don’t tell me …”

Yui already guessed what Elysia was going to say from that line.

“Yes, as you have guessed, I heard from my sister Julia that the owner of Tech Genesis is a student called Zero from Ace Academy. However, the information is currently confidential and I only learned of it before Tech Genesis became a giant company.”

Elysia explained.

Julia, Elysia’s sister, is someone working for The Authority. However, even she does not have the authority to know information about Tech Genesis. But she already knew the name of the owner before it was kept confidential.

Julia is also friends with Professor Mia and Sophia. During the birthday party of Sophia, when Professor Mia came with Zero, she became curious and checked his information. This allowed her to know that he was the owner of Tech Genesis and received a birthday invitation because of that.

She just told Elysia since she was obsessed with games from Tech Genesis and wanted to know. That time, the information was not as confidential as now and she naturally told Elysia.

“Now you know the reason.”

Elysia said.

“…”

Yui was in no state to reply. She didn’t expect that she would get hold of such precious information. Moreover, she herself was an admirer of Tech Genesis and was in shock to learn this information.
