Chapter 291: 291
Cillin didn’t depart immediately, not even when Wheeze threw a tantrum and declared that it would go on a hunger strike . It was because he wanted to attend an elective course that starts right after the big exam . The person leading it was an elderly, respected professor who actually knew the knowledge he was dabbling in, unlike some other self-proclaimed RAS scholars who wore the hat of an academician, but schemed against one another like a politician .
A real teacher would do his best to teach even if he only had one student, and this professor was one such person . Although the students who attended the lecture were less than twenty, his passion was clear for all to watch . The things he taught greatly benefited Cillin as well .
A modified audio signal had the ability to affect the signals within a limited range, and to demonstrate that the old teacher conducted a live experiment . He played an audio signal and told the students to turn on their communicators, and amazingly the screen brightness and the images started changing rhythmically . At the same time, the students felt like their pulse were also synchronizing with the audio signal .
It was a very familiar feeling to Cillin . In fact, the hunter regiments of GAL enjoyed converting this type of audio signal into their signature music . Even Cillin had to admit that it was very cool to make an appearance like this .
However, what Cillin was more concerned about was its applicability and expandability right now .
Normally, there was a time gap between lecture sessions . Since the old professor had something to do later, he decided to hold the next lecture sooner . As a result, Cillin decided to stay in AF1 for just a couple days longer .
Cillin went back to his hostel after attending the lecture . The moment he went in, he saw Wheeze lying on the ground looking completely spent after a serious diarrhea .
It had been two days since Cillin delayed their departure, and Wheeze declared its decision to go on a hunger strike in protest, so he wasn’t surprised by its antics already .
Hunger strike?
Cillin was holding it e-log with his course notes on it when he shot Wheeze a glance . While walking past the limp cat, he said, “I told you many times to wipe your mouth clean after you were done stealing food . Also, I may not be a feline, but my nose is still good enough to pick up that fishy stench in your yawn a mile away . ”
Wheeze: “ . . . Hmph!”
Wheeze stopped pretending and moved next to Cillin’s legs . Then, it scratched his pants into spaghetti shapes .
“And finally,” Cillin poked its fat head once before continuing, “Don’t think I don’t know who was the one who made the lecture screen flicker like it was having a heart attack today!”
Wheeze pulled its ears backward and didn’t reply . It was just venting for a bit, it wasn’t its fault that that equipment was trash!
“How many more days do you need?” Wheeze had been in video contact with the Gen Xingming and co ever since they departed, and it was forced to watch them having the joy and meal of a lifetime while it waited for Cillin to finish with his business . Worse, they boasted it to its face every time they talked . Every time Wheeze’s anger level hit a certain threshold, it would bite the black viper’s scales to vent .
Maybe the black viper would regret its decision if it learned that this was how Wheeze was using its gift .
“Five . The next lecture will be brought forward . ”
“Five days!?” Wheeze exclaimed before pretending to be weak again . The revelation was too much considering that it was so bored that it was feeling a toothache lately . It definitely wasn’t it bit the viper scales too many times, Wheeze swore on its remaining fish biscuits .
What should we do during this time then?” Wheeze asked while rolling on the floor . The school was boring; everyone, even the animals seemed to be busy with either study or missions . Even those who didn’t have such things to deal with like Gen Xingming had gone out to relax .
Cillin paused for a moment before replying, “Let’s visit the Gen Family then . You’ve neglected your little pet long enough for it to throw a tantrum . ”
Cillin hadn’t gone to the Gen Family yet after returning because he had no time . All he did was video call Genya and communicate his safety . Meanwhile, the sea beast had grown too big to fit in Genya’s backyard, so it was released into a man-made sea . Only a politically and economically powerful family like the Fuji Gen Family could afford a project like this with ease .
Genya also built a small courtyard next to the artificial sea, spending everyday watching the sea beast toying with the fishes . However, it seemed to be throwing a tantrum lately because Cillin and Wheeze had been absent for a while . Occasionally, it would spray sea water into the nearby buildings or make ghastly cries during the night, pissing people off on purpose . Despite the complaints, it wasn’t afraid that it would be cooked and eaten because it had Genya to hide behind .
Wheeze’s spirits immediately lifted after hearing this . There might not be much to do at the Gen Family, but it was still a way better place to be than AF1 . The latter had just way too many restrictions all over the place . It was a good opportunity to visit its little pet and ask some fresh fishes from Genya…
Cillin didn’t take long to pack everything he needed while he was urged by Wheeze . After bidding Guan Feng goodbye, he left the school and traveled to the Gen Family’s planet .
Since it was Cillin, the guard ships patrolling the planet only performed a mandatory inspection and nothing more . Their attitude was great, and they even sent someone to escort Cillin to Genya’s new place .
The sea was like a giant blue blob sitting in the middle of an ocean of green . Although it was smaller than the seas Cillin had seen in the past, its seawater was of good quality .
A couple of Fuji trees were planted in Genya’s new courtyard . It wasn’t as big as the one in the previous courtyard, but they grew pretty well and their numbers kept them from looking monotonous .
Genya was very happy to see him . He didn’t ask Cillin for details regarding his latest adventure because it was his own life . No one had a right to interfere with another person’s path, and genya trusted in Cillin’s ability to handle himself . The younger generations will do all right on their own, and he viewed Cillin as his own grandson . He didn’t want great things from Cillin; all he wanted was for Cillin to be happy .
There were many parents who voiced great expectations for their children, but in reality their bottomline was quite low . All they wanted was their children to be safe and sound . Genya had experienced too many things in his life, and it was impossible to pry them out of his mouth unless he decided to say it himself, not even his own brother, Gen Liao .
His experiences had also cultivated a taste for peace in Genya . Cillin sat with Genya at the courtyard and didn’t say a word, and it was the best experience the old man could hope for .
The sea beast, Blueskin made quite the commotion after seeing Cillin and Wheeze . After that, Wheeze led it away to play somewhere else .
Although the sea beast wasn’t brought up in a natural environment, its behavior was still… unusual probably because it was influenced by Wheeze since birth . To borrow Bel’s mother’s own words, it had strayed away from the righteous path . Blueskin itself was the living proof that idiocy was a transmittable disease .
