Chapter 85 - Acceptance Notice

The next morning, Sato woke up in his bed, looking rather confused. How did he even get home? Most likely Butler Hank had carried him into the car.

After washing up from yesterday, Sato went downstairs to look for Hank. The man in a black suit was standing by the door obediently. Judging by the time of the day, Sato suspected that he was waiting for Gray to come down to leave the house.

"Hey Hank," Sato called out for the butler. "Thank you for carrying me out of the orphanage. Although, you could've just woken me up. "

"Oh, Mr. Sato. The one you should be thanking is Young Master. He was the one that didn't want to disturb your sleep. He was also the one that carried you to the car. However, don't tell him I told you this." Hank winked at Sato.

"Oh?" Sato raised his eyebrows slightly.

From the day Sato moved in, Gray had done so much for him. Most of the time Gray would not acknowledge that it was his doing. His genuine kind actions have started to make Sato's heart quake. Yet, he didn't think much of it.

Ever since Sato was young, he had been different from normal youths. A typical growing teenager would go around liking people. They would want to start a relationship or even make moves on their crush. Sato, on the other hand, had been focused on his studies from the very beginning. Due to the lack of money, he had to prioritise studies over everything else in the past.

If it were not for Gray making a move on him in the past, Sato would not have realised what love was in the first place. Nonetheless, he had forgotten about it all and Gray was back to square one.

"What were you discussing?" Just then, Gray came down the stairs.

"It's nothing, " Sato smiled while shaking his head. "I was just about to ask Hank what your schedule was today."

"You could've just asked me." Gray rubbed Sato's still messy hair.

"Well, I didn't know if you were awake. After all, you came home late last night."

"Alright, alright. Let us have breakfast. I will tell you then." The pair started their day of normally, with them enjoying a nice healthy meal. Gray told Sato that he was going to have several important meetings that may take a while and so he would most likely not have dinner at home. That was of course accepted by Sato. He would never restrict anyone's freedom.

"I got something to tell you though." Gray came out upfront with Sato. "For the next few weeks, maybe months, I will be hiring more bodyguards to be station around the house and you. There is a highly dangerous man out in the open that wants to harm those around me. I do not want you to be hurt by that nut job."

"Ah? Do you really want to get bodyguards for me? Wouldn't that cost a lot of money? I do not know how I can repay you back..." Sato felt guilty for burdening Gray. He felt like a deadweight to him.

"No matter how much it costs, as long as you are safe, it is all that matters. We are family remember. There is no need to talk about repaying me back." To reassure the university student, Gray smiled warmly as he showered him with nice words. In fact, he was doing all of this more for himself. Sato being an innocent chap, could not see Gray's love for him.

...

Sato went to university as per normal. Today he had Tutorial for Engineering. The class were getting back their test results from last week. Here, they will be able to go through with an assigned academic staff on the mistakes that they made. Typically, it was held in groups of 10 in Sato's University.

The paper was given back to the Engineering students. If anyone got below a 4 out of 8, they would have to retake the module. Thus, half of the class had dull faces when they saw their grades. There were two other students that sighed in relief when they realised they just passed. Ming on the other hand had gotten a 6, giving him an A.

"What did you get, Sato?" Ming nudged Sato who was holding onto his paper.

"Ah? I got an 8." Sato said normally. The students in the class when they heard him, wanted to vomit blood. How could this monstrous genius not get stumped by this test paper?

"You sure are the top student in the class." Ming smiled at the boy that sat beside him.

"Thanks hehe. I got lucky on the last 30 minutes and realised that Professor Clarence had placed a trick question. If you realised, you would have gotten a 7."

Everyone in the class was speechless at this point. They was no point comparing themselves with Sato. Lucky? More like a mad genius that was hard to come by in a century! It was a known fact that Sato had not taken the full course for this test paper. Thus, it made everyone more certain that Sato was leagues above everyone else.

...

At the end of the class, a male student named Terence came up to Sato to tell him the news. "Hey Sato, my vice-leader and I have deliberated and accepted your application into our club."

"Oh really? That's great! Thank you for accepting me after the application period!" Sato shook Terence's hand.

Sato was relieved that he had gotten into an extra-curriculum activity. In their University, everyone is mandated to join at least one club every year they are enrolled. Since, he had quit the ROL club, he needed to apply for a new one. Hence, he decided to go for Taekwondo. After all, he had accepted the teachings of Master Choi, might as well have more time to train himself.

"Well, our training is every Wednesday and Friday. So tommorow, be sure to come to the Training Hall at 5pm. You can wear Physical Training clothes for that lesson. We shall give you the uniform another day." Terence the leader of the Taekwondo club left after briefing Sato.
