Chapter 140 - Lie And Deception

The night passed and a new day came.

9:30 AM Morning, Monday.

Aryan was getting ready for his school. He was quite nervous on that day since his physical appearance had changed a lot. Not even Grand Elder had any idea how to deal with that problem.

Before he left for school Grand Elder called his sister chairwoman Linda and told her all the events of the last two days. It was not much of an amazement for her since she knows how crazy the Aizawa's could be.

But it was now her task to make it understood to Principal Li and his secretary Miss Ynna.

After a great deal of difficulty, she somehow managed to make them understand the event happening in her family and the reason for Aryan's sudden growth. Principal Li and Miss Ynna agreed that they understood everything but deep in their heart they couldn't believe that Aryan had undergone three years of physical and mental development in the last two days of weekends.

After having his breakfast Aryan left for the school and went to the principal office first, as asked by his gramps.

When Grand Elder was about to hang his call with chairwoman Linda she asked him to send Aryan to the principal office first.

Because there were some people who won't believe her words until they see Aryan in person.

Without asking anything Aryan barged into the room and greeted the three souls present there. These three souls were none other than his great aunt Linda, Principal Li, and Miss Ynna.

The father-daughter duo had a shocked expression on her face while Chairwoman Linda was giving out a sighing expression.

None of them knew how to start the conversation. Aryan was feeling awkward since they kept on staring at him, while the other three didn't know how to talk with this new Aryan.

Amidst of their silence, the door opened and entered a person in the room. Aryan turned around and found it was his homeroom teacher Dr. Fin.

Now everyone was having a headache, they themselves didn't know how to interact with each other and now there was another person….. None of them was in a mood to repeat everything from the beginning and explain it to him.

Dr. Fin stared at the boy then towards Principal Li, he didn't want to believe nor wanted to ask but ended up asking.

"Sir is this boy Ryan.A from my class?!"

Principal Li "…"

Miss Ynna "…"

Chairwomen "…."

Before he replied something chairwomen stood up and picked up her virtual pad.

"Ah…. Principal Li do as we have discussed, I am going to check the other departments." Said the chairwoman and left the room.

Principal Li was turning towards his daughter but she too escaped the room by saying chairwoman Linda forgot some important papers and she had to deliver them at any cost.

The room became silent again.

Dr. Fin was staring towards Ryan in disbelief.

Ryan towards Principal Li.

And Principal Li towards the ceiling.

"Sir you didn't answer anything…"

"Ahem, yes it's Ryan from your class." Principal Li finally opened his mouth.

"I know what you wanted to ask," added Principal Li. "He looks different than the last time right?"

Dr. Fin nodded and didn't reply.

"The thing is it's a new term recently developed."

Ryan "…"

Dr. Fin "…"

Miss Ynna "…"

Chairwoman Linda "…"

Both the ladies escaped the room and entered again using the chairwoman's camouflage magic.

"Care to explain?" asked Dr. Fin.

He himself was a researcher and a scientist, but never in his life had he seen someone grow as much as Ryan and that too in two days.

Judging from the vibes Ryan was giving he was somewhat sure that not only external but he had undergone internal changes too.

"There is a new concept of latent growth potential hormone in our body." Principal Li started with difficulty.

"Latent growth potential hormone?!! I have never heard about it!!"

"Yes, you haven't," he replied and continued that it's a new type of hormone. Found in one out of every ten million children. And this hormone came into light recently, a decade ago.

Dr. Fin listened to him and made note of everything he said.

Meanwhile Chairwoman Linda and Miss Ynna were holding their laughter and continued to enjoy from the sidelines.

What Principal Li was spouting was complete buff, utter lie, no truth in it.

After some minutes their convo ended and Dr. Fin summarized everything. Principal Li heard him out, confirmed it, and asked him to take Ryan to class and tell the same to everyone in the class.

Dr. Fin was quite excited as he got to know something new and left the room with Ryan following him.

The bell rang and the class started. Everyone was seated in their respective seats except Ryan, whose seat was behind Nagisa.

She was looking here and there and sometimes peek through the corridor to find Ryan, but to her dismay, Ryan wasn't there.

Rajesh too was following the same trend and looking for Ryan here and there.

Suddenly, the door opened and entered two figures. One was their geeky homeroom teacher Dr. Fin another...

They were a little confused about him. He looks familiar, but his physical growth was making him look different. More handsome and more mature.

Everyone's eyes were set on this new figure.

"Ahem," Dr. Fin cleared his throat.

"Anyone guess who is this?" he asked with a wide grin on his face.

Silence~~~

Complete Silence~~

No one answered. Everyone had one answer in mind, but nobody was brave enough to answer.

In the room filled with utter silence, a student raised her hand.

"Yes," said Dr. Fin and allowed Nagisa to speak.

She took a deep breath and asked, "By any chance are you Ryan?!"

Bdmp! Bdmp!! Bdmp!!

Everyone's heart was beating fast. She asked the thing straight that everyone had in mind.

"Pfft, ahahahah hahah hahahaha. Yes, I am the same Ryan." Aryan replied.

Nagisa was dumbstruck. She was about to ask something when Dr. Fin intervened and asked him to take his seat.

Ryan went behind Nagisa and took his seat.

Both Rajesh and Nagisa were feeling somewhat weird.

For Rajesh it was Ryan's height. Earlier he was shorter than him, but now he was somewhat taller.

And for Nagisa, it's a strange vibe. Earlier she was used to Ryan sitting before him, but now she was feeling as if a stranger was behind her.

While both of them were drowning in their thoughts Dr. Fin clapped his hand, to attract everyone's attention.

Rajesh and Nagisa snapped out of their thoughts and paid attention towards Dr. Fin.

"Kid, I know you have many doubts about Ryan, we will hold a question-answer session to clear them all. Also don't act like a stranger with him, he must be feeling weird from it."

Everyone nodded and stopped staring at him. Ryan calmed down and looked forward to the session of lies and deception, that was about to begin.

Never in his life had he seen someone who can come with an entire storyline within a fraction of seconds, like Principal Li. He also knew that the chairwoman and Miss Ynna were present there listening to their conversation from the camouflage.

Not only him, even the chairwoman and the principal were looking forward to this session.

After Ryan and Dr. Fin left the room Chairwoman Linda and Miss Ynna came out of the camouflage and laughed like monkeys.

They wanted to roll on the ground for the lies that the principal told to Dr. Fin.

Principal Li felt somewhat bad for lying to him but deep inside he was proud of his quick-witted character.

The screen was on, tea was ready, snacks on the way…..!!

Chairwoman Linda tuned the principal chamber to a movie theatre.

Miss Ynna too joined in on the chairwoman's invite and served tea for the chairwoman. Seeing the two of them enjoying the show Principal Li too chimed in and took a seat near them.

"So before we start, let me tell you everything in a summary." Said Dr. Fin and repeated the exact words of Principal Li that There is a new concept of latent growth potential hormone in our body. It's a new type of hormone. Found in one out of every ten million children. And this hormone came into light recently, a decade ago."

Everyone somewhat believed his explanation and began to search it on their devices. Kids of the new era were smart and they needed virtual pads for different works in a school, that's why they were allowed to carry it around them.

After surfing for a while one of the students raised a hand and asked, "Sensei I couldn't find this new concept on any of the search engines."

"Hehe," Dr. Fin laughed.

"I tried Koogle.com, Zahoo.com, penguinpenguingo.com, but couldn't found it anywhere."

Another student joined in and said, "Sensei I tired the Diahian International Forensic and Medical Science database but couldn't find it anywhere."
