Chapter 200 - 199 - Your Daughter Is As Talented As You. Son, Too?!

Since the babies had already decided to attend their Papa's school, Fang and Ren had no objections. Pax took all of them to visit the school board the very next day.

Ray, Snow, Smoke and Shadow were enrolled for the playschool. Of course, they couldn't use their feline and canine names, so the family had spent a lot of time coming up with appropriate human names for them.

Snow wanted to be called Lumi, Smoke wanted to be called Savu and Shadow wanted to be called Varjo – they had simply translated their names to another language and claimed it quite some time ago. Sylvia was always Sylvia, since she almost never appeared publicly in her snake form, even though most of her time at home was spent wrapped around Ren's wrist, and occasionally, Fang's. They simply called her Syl when she did that. Rudy's formal name was Rudolph and his real form was digital, so his name was never an issue, and Ray was always Ray, and no one outside of close family ever saw his golden dragon form anyway.

Earlier, when they had chosen their names and made it formal, Pax had quite a headache when he saw the names chosen by the babies. "Can you even pronounce this properly? Aren't you afraid that their names will be mangled?" he had demanded, glaring at Ren.

Ren had simply shrugged. "Ask the babies, they'll teach you," he said mildly. "Let it be. They want to have exotic names and I don't see anything wrong with it." In fact, he thought these names were really beautiful, and their meanings paid great respect to the original names Fang had given them.

"Did Fang really agree with these names?" Pax had asked, raising an eyebrow. "Aren't either of you afraid that people will say that you are too lazy to name your children properly and you are simply borrowing the names of your pets and translating them into an exotic language and giving them to your human babies?"

Fang's reaction had actually been quite similar to Pax's...but Ren had glared at him fiercely and Fang had simply folded and praised the babies for choosing such unique names for themselves.

"Of course," Ren had said to Pax with a straight face. "He even praised the three furballs for coming up with a clever way to retain their names. This way, even if we call them by their original names when we are out in public by mistake, no one would be suspicious"

Pax couldn't say anything after that. So...he had simply changed the topic and moved on to other issues at the time.

Pax thought back to this conversation several times today when he saw the awkward looks on the faces of the school authorities he had met today with the babies. When the names of the human baby forms of the three furballs had been released publicly back then, a number of people had remarked that Chairman Ren and Prince Fang were far too busy to keep track of their ever increasing bunch of children, so they recycled the same names to human babies and dogs and cats by translating those into a different language. Some people even tried to organise a public betting pool for what would be the name of the next child of Chairman Ren and Prince Fang!

Pax and Fang had been very angry – but Ren and the three furballs had been quite amused.

Prince Uno patted Pax on the shoulder and Pax was pulled back into the present. "Did Sylvia tell you that she wanted to go to elementary school rather than kindergarten? Rudy, too." he asked Ren.

Ren nodded. "She mentioned it. Fang and I are fine with it for both Sylvia and Rudy – I think the two of them should stay together. They might get too bored in kindergarten, actually. They will get a bit bored in elementary school as well, but it won't be as bad." Ren sighed. "Sylvia's IQ is at par with Fang's, and she'd been with me for ten years in my previous world. I'm afraid even high school is too easy for her at this point, but we have to start somewhere to integrate ourselves into the society. As for Rudy – there's hardly anything he doesn't know."

"Didn't you consider homeschooling the babies?" Pax asked curiously.

"We did," Ren said. "But both Fang and I think that they should learn to socialize with their human peers. After all, since they've bothered to take on a human form, they'll also participate in human activities."

"Yes, and we should also help them choose their career paths," Pax suggested.

"What's the hurry?" Ren retorted. "They can decide when they grow up; it's not like we're running out of time."

"Shadow might actually end up being a chef instead of a doctor," Pax murmured under his breath.

Ren chuckled. "You may be right." He stood up. "Come on, let's find my babies and their Daddy."

Prince Uno and Fang had dressed each of the children carefully, and their cuteness value had risen through the roof. Even Ren and Pax, who were used to seeing them, were stunned.

Do we look good, Daddy? Snow asked haughtily.

"You all look amazing," Ren said, giving each baby a kiss and a hug.

The doorbell rang just then.

"That must be Wolf," Pax said. "He wanted to come with us today himself to gauge the security of the facilities where the babies will be. He'll assign bodyguards to them accordingly."

Sylvia blinked. "We'll have bodyguards in school?"

"Your Papa had a bodyguard when he went to school," Ren said quickly before any of the kids could protest.

Fang rolled his eyes at Ren. Hadn't he had a bodyguard because Ren insisted on it? But he was in full agreement with Ren. Their babies were so adorable, what if somebody wanted to take them away? He remembered the lingerie company and his face darkened.

Wolf came with small gifts for each of the babies, and was treated to a hug and a kiss and a sweet, "Thank you, Uncle Wolf!" from all four of them.

"How are your little ones doing?" Ren asked Wolf.

Wolf grinned happily. "Healthy as a horse and with the lung capacity of a howler monkey," he said proudly.

"Clearly takes after her father," Pax said with a sneer.

Wolf simple beamed with pride. "You should get a spouse and a kid of your own, Pax," he lectured. He also shot a meaningful glance at Prince Uno.

"Thanks but no thanks," Pax said. "Come on, we'll be late!"

Everyone followed Pax and half an hour later, they were seated in the headmaster's office.

"Prince Fang!" the headmaster greeted him enthusiastically. "We're so pleased that you're sending your children to our school!" After all, Fang had been their most outstanding student till date! And now all his children would be studying here!

"And Chairman Ren!" the headmaster exclaimed and shook hands with Ren, too. "CEO Pax already told us about the three little ones. We have arranged for seats for them in the playroom. Would you like to take a look?"

The group went along to see the playroom. Pax, Prince Uno and the babies had seen it yesterday, but the others hadn't. Ren looked around carefully, checking whether the seats were comfortable and the decorations were appropriate, while Fang and Wolf took stock of the room and its surroundings from a security aspect.

They were quite satisfied.

Ren turned to the headmaster. "About our eldest daughter Sylvia...we wonder if she can go to elementary school instead of kindergarten?" he asked.

The headmaster was confused. "She's only three, right?" he asked, blinking in a remarkably owlish fashion.

Ren nodded. "She is, but her IQ is at par with Fang's," he said simply, not even bothering to hide the proud father tone of his voice.

The headmaster nearly jumped for joy. Another genius like Fang! And this time, they had her for her entire school life! Could he possibly ask for more?

As it turned out, he definitely could. Because Ren continued seamlessly. "And for our eldest son and Sylvia's twin Rudy – he wants to be in the same class as Sylvia," he murmured. "Would that be possible?"

The headmaster blinked. "Is young Rudolph as clever as Prince Fang as well?" he asked with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

Ren shook his head. "Rudy's IQ is beyond what we can measure with human tests," he said honestly. "Rudy can actually take a Ph.D. degree right away with his knowledge and IQ, but we don't want him to stop being a child so soon, and he wants to have a school experience just like his other siblings. So if we could put him in the same class as Sylvia…"

The headmaster almost fainted with joy and delight. Not one, but two heaven defying geniuses?! At the same time?! What kind of godly genes did Prince Fang possess?! He eyed little Snow – perhaps this little one could be a similar genius as well…?
