Chapter 66
Did you insult Professor Sean? As the new Section of All Stars began, the campus was abuzz with excitement.
Students were bustling around, ready to start their new classes and meet their new schoolmates. The atmosphere was alive with the anticipation of a fresh start.
Amongst the crowd, Elias stood out, not only for his flashy car but also for his reputation as a well-known celebrity and a brilliant student.
He relished in being the center of attention, always wanting others to know he had arrived.
Entering the school grounds, Elias parked his car and stepped out, a
confident smirk on his face.
His sleek hair was styled perfectly, and his designer outfit screamed sophistication. As soon as he stepped onto the campus, heads turned and whispers filled the air.
"I can't believe Elias is here already! I've heard so much about him," said a first-year student who waited near the entrance.
"Yeah, he's supposed to be really smart and talented," replied her friend.
As Elias walked towards the main building, students were eager to introduce themselves or simply catch a glimpse of the campus celebrity.
However, none of them could get close to him. It was a well known thing in All Stars that it's forbidden to approach
him even 8f you are his fan.
And that's why a man, also his bodyguard is always with him whenever he's in the school premises.
Elias had heard the news about Jeff changing course. Why he was happy that Jeff wasn't in favor of Professor Sean anymore and is now hated by some of the students, Professor Sean wasn't in his right state of mind.
He was humiliated because of Jeff and now everyone thinks he is incapable. It was even more embarrassing because Jeff chose traditional medicine. It was like an indirect insult to Professor Sean.
He was waiting to see how things would unfold.
Rumors swirled through All Stars.
Whispers echoed, spreading like wildfire, tongues wagging and minds clattering.
The news had taken the entire school by surprise, jolting their mundane routines to life.
The Genius who scored full marks in the admission test and the college entrance examination had allegedly changed his department to the traditional medicine department.
For years, the traditional medicine department had been on the brink of closure. With no student wanting to choose the department, the school had even considered removing the traditional medicine department. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dr. William was the departmental professor of the traditional medicine
department. For years, he had been trying to revive the traditional medicine department but the department has never been the same again, since his own Master left.
Jeff walked into the faculty building, his footsteps echoing in the corridor as he made his way to the traditional medicine department.
He wore his usual calm expression, his eyes focused yet relaxed, giving off an air of quiet confidence.
Though he was a new student, Jeff seemed unperturbed by the whispers and rumors surrounding him.
When he arrived at school this morning, Jeff didn't know what news had gone around the school. He wasn't worried because what he did was to change his course.
It wasn't any big deal.
But Jeff knew that it might be a big deal for Professor Sean and he knew that Professor Sean was mature enough.
As he entered the department, Jeff noticed five other students already gathered in the room.
They shot him curious glances, their expressions a mix of intrigue and skepticism.
Among them stood Dr. William, the middle-aged professor of traditional medicine. His stern gaze met Jeff's, observing him silently as the young student respectfully bowed his head in greeting.
"I'm glad you could join us, Jeff," Dr.
William said, his tone warm yet laced
with authority. "Please have a seat." Jeff nodded appreciatively and took his designated spot, trying to ignore the tension radiating from the other students.
The room fell into an awkward silence, broken only by the soft shuffling of papers as Dr. William organized his notes.
One of the students, David, couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. He leaned forward, eyeing Jeff suspiciously. "So, you're the one they've been talking about, huh? The rumors say you have some secret knowledge in traditional medicine." Jeff's calm expression remained unchanged as he met David's gaze.
"I'm just a student like all of you," he replied humbly. "I have a genuine passion for traditional medicine, and I I hope to contribute to the field in any way I can." The other students exchanged glances, the skepticism in their eyes still evident. Sarah, a particularly skeptical student, narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms. "Passion aside, we won't let anyone disrupt our department. Traditional medicine is precious even though people are slowly forgetting that traditional medicine is important, and we won't have it undermined." Jeff's calm demeanor wavered slightly.
"IT assure you, I have no intentions of undermining anyone or anything. [ am here to learn and grow, just like everyone else. Please don't disappoint
me, Seniors." Dr. William, sensing the tension escalating, stepped forward, his authoritative presence filling the room.
"Enough!" he boomed, his voice cutting through the unease. "It is not for us to judge each other based on hearsay. Jeff is now a student of this department, and as long as he respects the principles and traditions of traditional medicine, he will be treated like any other student." Dr. William's words hung heavily in the air, silencing the room. The other students glanced at each other uncertainly, unsure of how to proceed.
Even Sarah's expression softened, realization dawning upon her.
A genius joining their department was supposed to bring joy to the
department but they are all afraid that the rumors might change the school decision. - Breaking the silence, Jeff spoke softly, his voice steady. "Thank you, Dr.
William. I appreciate your understanding." As the tension began to dissipate, the other students nodded reluctantly, some even offering a faint smile. Dr.
William's gaze softened, "Very well," he stated, his voice tinged with satisfaction. "Now that we have cleared the air, let us focus on our goal." Just after Dr. William's words, Sarah's phone chimed. She glanced at her phone and exchanged a glance with Jeff.
"Jeff" she called. "Did you insult
Professor Sean? The school forum is going crazy!"
