Chapter 178 A Misunderstood Genius

After taking his test for some time, Lothur was the first to get up and hand it to his teacher.

After seeing that, a smile formed on that man's lips as he thought about how easy it had been for him. 'Giving up, huh? That's what I thought!'

"Are you done?" He asked in a thick tone. "Give it to me here. Then, next time, study more and attend class..."

"Study more?" Lothur frowned but did not question such a person, 'Whatever. From now on, I won't see this guy anymore, so it doesn't matter what he's saying.'

After that, Lothur made his way out of that place, where he would wait for Elke to finish her exam so they could continue with the following test of the day.

Meanwhile, the professor from before looked at Lothur's test with a smiling expression, curious to find out what such an irresponsible student had done.

'I wonder how many questions he tried to answer...' He pondered this just before noticing that all the fields for answers had been filled in.

'That...' Suddenly, his smile froze, but he quickly shook his head in denial at the strange feeling in his being.

'Impossible! He must have written idiotic answers to each of the questions! That must be it! He did not want to embarrass himself and did such a thing...'

With these thoughts in mind, that teacher of Local History soon began to read Lothur's answers.

'... House Leopoldine was stronger than their opponents at the time of the conquest. But the technological level of the powers of the Three Great Lakes region was higher than that of the family that would later become the ruler of this state...'

'... The level of ironwork and inscriptions of the formations used by the enemy forces of House Leopoldine was complex to the point of...'

'... Due to this, the biggest challenge for this great organization was to overcome with raw power the enemy technology...'

'... The best way to solve such a challenge if the past situation were to repeat itself would be through developing new technology, specifically formations. That way, right now, the imperial family should be focusing on research related to this to...'

Each answer that the professor read, he was shocked that Lothur understood even things that he had not thought of but that were not impossible to deduce.

Not only that, Lothur's explanations followed a natural and simple rhythm that made even new ideas easy to understand. Because of this, with each answer the teacher read, he opened his mouth wider as he began to think about the possibility that a student from Sector-1 knew more about Local History than he did.

'How is that possible?' He wondered as he ignored the students who, every few minutes, stopped beside him to hand in their tests.

'How did he get this? Isn't he a good-for-nothing? Did he cheat?' This teacher clenched his fists, feeling Lothur could not know so much with only a few weeks of study!

To make matters worse, he had no idea how this young man had studied. If only such an individual had attended classes, but no! Not even that Lothur had done!

With that, this man rose from his seat and clasped his hands, determined to analyze this situation.

'What do I do? Do I go to the board to report him for cheating?' He saw that there were still two students in his room and sat back to wait for them. 'No. I didn't see anything, so my words won't be enough.'

'Maybe I should call him to answer other questions in front of the principal? That will prove he cheated!' He finally received the last piece of evidence and ran out of his room to look for Lothur.

"Lothur? Has anyone seen Lothur?" He asked the students talking in that hallway.

"Who is Lothur?" Someone asked.

Few students in Sector-1 knew Lothur, so it was not unusual for those taking exams for Sector-2 to not know who he was.

"Lothur was the first to hand in the exam. Did you see where he went?"

A young woman then realized who such a person was and said. "This Lothur left after Miss Becker handed in her test. They went in this direction..."

...

After following the advice of a student, the teacher from before found the place where Lothur and Elke had just entered, another testing room.

'Oh? They're taking tests to advance a sector...' He noticed the problem and watched through the glass window as the Economics exam began.

This Local History teacher saw that the teacher in that place was one of the employees against Lothur because of this young man's past in this institution.

Not attending most of the classes and even causing the dismissal of an employee had soiled Lothur's reputation with these people.

Realizing that this woman would be on his side, this man entered that room and spoke as he stood next to her. "Teacher Semmler, I'm here because I think that bastard Lothur cheated on my test and will do the same on yours."

She put her surprised expression aside and looked with interest at her colleague. "Oh? Are you serious?"

"Hmm, the bastard got all the questions of my exam right. But it's simply impossible! It was the hardest test I've ever made, and he answered things that even I couldn't think of!" He said.

"I see..." She laughed, wondering what could be behind it. "Don't worry about it. My subject is much more difficult than yours, and with my extra years of experience, I created a test that even students from higher sectors would have trouble solving."

"Perfect!"

"In any case, let's observe him together. If he cheats on his test, let's immediately get this good-for-nothing expelled!" He suggested.

"OK."

...

After about 50 minutes, Lothur handed in his test and looked strangely at the Local History teacher.

'What is this guy doing here?' He looked at how that teacher was sitting next to the Economics teacher. 'Did he come to flirt with her? How unprofessional... Worse, in the middle of a test...'

As Lothur shook his head and left, the two professors finally turned their attention to Lothur's test.

"I didn't see him doing anything suspicious..." She commented as she began to analyze the paper handed to her by Lothur.

"I didn't see anything either. Maybe he just cheated on my test..." He muttered, remembering that he had not tried to look for any suspicious signs in Lothur during the previous examination.

So, after a few seconds, he began to get nervous as he saw the shocked expression on that woman's face.

"What is it? Is something amiss?"

"That..." She stammered before rubbing her eyes with her two hands and then rereading Lothur's answers. "It can't be!"

"It's all right! There are even things here that can be considered innovative!" She said in a shocked tone, not understanding the situation.

"How is that possible? We've both spent the last hour watching him!" He stood up from his chair, drawing the attention of some students there.

Gulp!

"That..."

"Maybe he's a misunderstood genius?" She asked since that was the only alternative to explain the present situation.
