Chapter 7: Dawn of a new era

Professor Han was the one who hurriedly went inside the principal chamber without taking any precaution, but Xin wasn't a fool like him. First, he re-accessed the database, turned off the CCTV's inside the principal chamber, and then he went inside.

"Professor Han, even though you told me about all this, and we even barged into the chamber, what are you planning to do now?" asked Xin.

As much as he knew Professor Han was not someone with malicious intentions, if he is doing something sneaky, there must be a reason behind it. And as expected, Professor Han's reply fulfilled his expectation.

"Hahaha, don't worry. I am not doing anything shady. Principal Zhang is like my well-wisher. He has helped me many times in the past. I just want to find out what's in that file mentioned by his kids and help him in any way possible."

"Oh~~."

"Yes, so our first work now is to search for a file that doesn't have the school logo on it."

Xin nodded and began to search for a file with the same description. While he was searching for the file, he kept on peeking at his wristwatch for the time.

Eighteen minutes had already passed, and after a few minutes, the effect of the first wave was about to be worn off. Xin somehow wanted to get out of the principal chamber and get a safe spot for him to take some rest, but Professor Han was dead set on finding the file there and was still searching around for it.

While Xin was searching for the file, he randomly made a wish saying, 'I wish the system could help me find the file.'

Just after a second after his wish, a notification came from the system. Stating, Initialising the search.....

Scanning the room...

Finding the desired object…

Object found!!

"Huh~~!!" Xin exclaimed in astonishment. The speed at which the system searched the file was exceptionally fast for him. It took her just three seconds to search the file in the room. He was calculating the search duration and a possible way to make AI search that fast when he heard a sound from his rear.

"Ah…. This headache, what the hell just happened here?"

Both Xin and Professor Han got startled by the voice and froze at their places. Xin was the first one who gathered enough courage and turned around to have a look at the source of that voice.

Professor Han, too gathered enough courage, swallowed hard, and turned around to have a look at the source of the voice. Since the room had only three members, it was pretty apparent to whom does the sound belonged?

Without a doubt, the voice belonged to the Principal, and without a doubt, they were going to be in trouble soon.

"Damn, damn, damn!! Retreat, retreat now!!" Screeched Professor Han at the top of his lungs and left the principal chamber as fast as possible.

Xin too followed him back out of the chamber, but before he did, he went to the left side corner of the room and picked up a file from the gap between the two wardrobes.

After escaping from the tiger's den and catching up with their breath, Professor Han turned towards Xin and asked if he found the file or not?

Xin nodded in disappointment and replied a "no" to him.

Professor Han sighed and asked Xin to follow him to the class. On their way back, they saw everyone was waking up and becoming sobber. Seeing them getting conscious, Professor Han wanted to check the conditions of his students.

Upon entering the classroom, both of them found only one student was completely awake, and the rest of the students were still blabbering in their sleep.

"Miss Aoi, are you alright?" Professor Han asked with concern.

She answered Professor Han's question while rubbing her forehead, "Yes, somewhat fine, I can say. My head aching like I have been hit by a steel rod."

"Oh, any other problems?"

She nodded and slept again on her bench. Professor Han went near her and was about to check something when Xin stopped him from going and asked him to come and see the online posts and news.

Some foreign countries, scientists, and researchers who woke up faster than others checked the satellite footage captured by their respective country's satellites and discovered an unknown comet passed by earth, some hours ago.

The passing of a comet at a closer distance from the earth wasn't a new thing. It always happens from time to time. Halley's Comet is one such example. But this time passing Comet was not as ordinary as the Halley's Comet.

When scientists and researchers checked the wave data recorded by the satellites, they found the record of a new wave whose oscillation value couldn't be recorded by the high-tech satellites.

Not only that, but they also found out a peculiar property of these waves, which was the most shocking discovery in human history.

When these waves entered the earth's surface, they altered the atoms, molecules, and chemical properties of many things on earth.

This was the very reason many unknown species of plants and animals were emerging on the earth's surface.

Professor Han read the news articles and felt as if his leg was becoming softer. Their era was undergoing a major evolution.

To be alive at a time like that and see all the changes happening before his eyes~

Thinking about it, his happiness was soaring through the skies. He will see the dawn of a new era and be the first generation to experience it!!

This was one of the greatest privileges that only some million people out of a hundred thousand trillion people get in every era.

While the Professor was fantasizing about the dawn of a new era, Xin was secretly reading that file that he had stolen from the Principal's Chamber.
