Chapter 034: A Call from Professor Han

Ats is grateful to have been able to return to the dormitory this afternoon. Fortunately, his aunt was kind enough to let him go. Honestly, he felt uncomfortable living in a health center located not far from the female dormitory complex. The place has a different air than the dorm.

Before parting ways with her aunt, Ats was thinking of actively helping her aunt's "introduction" process with Professor Han. However, he undoes his intention because seeing Doctor Razana seems to be refusing. After all, if he were to interfere too much in the affairs of those adults, the genre of this story would change. Let's focus again on research.

"Ats, don't mess with the dangerous experiment anymore," Doctor Razana pressed Ats' head and ruffled her hair in the courtyard of the Academy's Health Center. He did that so that his nephew would really heed his warning.

Ats can only nod. He wants to get out of here. Since then, he felt strange views that kept peering at him. It was truly a shame considering how Doctor Razana treated him like a child in public.

"I go first, Auntie," Ats waved his hand. He also entered a special path that would immediately transfer him to the male dormitory complex. Inside that particular pathway, he re-activated Arselan.

"Good afternoon, sir," said Arselan kindly as usual. He showed his general face, a cat with a cute knotty smile.

In less than ten minutes, Ats reached his destination. Special lane doors open automatically. Ats came out and found a young man greeting him as if he had been waiting.

"Well, you're actually coming out of that portal," Fang patted Ats' shoulder a few times, "Who's meeting?"

"What the hell?" Ats retorted curiously, "Truely, why is Senior standing here?"

"Me?" Fang showed a slightly nosy smile, "Professor Han asked me to pick you up. He said, if you've arrived, you should meet him immediately."

"Huh? Time?" Ats just doesn't believe it. Why did Professor Han do that. After all, everything related to research they've discussed at the Academy Health Center all day this certain— while Dr. Razana is at work.

"Right," Fang assures, "Now, I'm calling the professor, huh?"

"No need, anyway," Ats prevented, "Let me go straight to his place. He's at his residence, right?"

"Hm," Fang nodded, "Yuk, I also want to go to the Star Research Complex."

Along the way to Professor Han's residence, Ats was unable to shake his sense of curiosity. It's freaky. Why did this teacher send Fang to pick him up? Can he ask directly over the phone?

"Where's your research, Ats?" fang asked breaking the silence.

"Stopped for a while" Ats replied briefly.

"Eh? Why?" Fang was quite surprised to hear that. According to his observations all along, the research went smoothly. Well, even if sometimes Ats accidents. However, it did not endanger his life, forcing the research to be stopped.

"Professor Han was told to introspect," replied Ats origin, but was taken seriously by Fang. Well, it's not entirely a lie anyway. Professor Han was indeed told to pause by Doctor Razana. The woman threatened to exercise her guardianship over Ats if the professor did not heed her warning.

"Oh, is that it, huh?" Fang took a good look at the information in his mind. They finally arrived at the Star Research Complex. The two split up there. Fang went to one of the laboratories, while Ats to a settlement located not far from there.

"Greetings, Professor," Ats greeted Professor Han who was watering the garden alone. He became increasingly suspicious of Fang. Don't-don't, that senior is cheating on him.

"Oh, you've come, Ats," Professor Han welcomed Ats kindly, "I've been waiting for you from earlier. Let's go in."

Ah, it turns out that Fang wasn't lying. Means Professor Han is suspicious. Why did he send Fang if he himself was not busy.

"What's up, Professor?" asked Ats who had now sat on the sofa, "Senior Fang directly picked me up earlier. Is there anything urgent? I haven't even stopped by the dorm."

"Eh, are you here right away?" Professor Han did not expect. Actually, he didn't want to bother Ats too much anymore. But he does have something to say.

"Yes, Senior Fang immediately greeted me at the portal," replied Ats who now cursed Fang inwardly, "So, what did the Professor call me?"

"Ah, I—" Professor Han looked unwell. This is not something that is too urgent until you have to take a break like that.

"Eh? What did the Professor do?" Ats so thought of a strange thing, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Em," Professor Han did not immediately reply. He thinks first of the most appropriate words to convey. "Maybe that's the one that's the most against him."

"Well," Ats confirmed, "It's like that."

"Haha, right, right?" Professor Han smiled bitterly, "He looks very fond of you. You guys must be very close."

"Yes," Ats nodded. He also picked up a piece of paint that Professor Han presented. After that, he sipped a warm tea brewed for him.

"Will he forgive me?" ask Professor Han.

"Auntie must have forgiven you," Ats answered immediately. She enjoyed this conversation about her aunt, but did not understand where she was going.

"Although that's the case, he looks like he'll never accept me" Professor Han muttered softly. If Ats hadn't sharpened his senses, he probably wouldn't have heard those words. The young man from the Asir Family immediately denied, "Where is it possible? Aunty has been waiting for Professor loh—kayaknya."

"Eh? Time?" Professor Han looked up, "You're serious?"

"Perhaps," Ats instead gave an ambiguous answer, "Obviously, aunt instead of hating you."

"Ats!" professor Han exclaimed to the point of making Ats jerk in place. He even slapped the table so hard, "You can help me, right?"

"Hm?" Ats opened his eyes, not expecting that the professor's reaction would be so overwhelming. "Yes, I can indeed help you for that."

"Really?" Professor Han asked for confirmation. There was spirit in his eyes. His face was a little red.

"Really," Ats nodded seriously, "But, before that, did the Professor have a story with my aunt before?"

"Ah, it—" Professor Han fixed his sitting stance, "Long story."

"Tell me then," pinta Ats spirit. This is gonna be a great story. Since yesterday, her aunt has always refused to explain the purpose of this "Insensitive Man" aimed at the figure of the scientist before her.

In contrast to Doctor Razana, Professor Han happily tells a story. It was good to make afternoon. Based on that story, Ats concluded that his teacher was not insensitive, but too clumsy and doubtful of his feelings.

Professor Han first met Dr. Razana at the age of 24. It was when her twin sister married a man from the Asir Family. Of course, that feeling doesn't just come out. You could say, they have even been hostile to each other since they first met.

Ats held back his laughter hearing that.

A few years later, they were reunited at the academy. At that time, Professor Han had a baccalaureate degree who was pursuing his master's degree, while Doctor Razana was a first-year academy student.

They did not interact much during the time of science. It was only when Dr. Razana ran the research for her graduate studies that they were arguably quite "familiar". Like fire and water, that's how it is.

Anyway, the study almost failed because Professor Han too often criticized and denied the arguments of Doctor Razana. Mending if he has any advice. Doctor Razana almost gave up at the time. Knowing that, Professor Han felt guilty.

Surprisingly, they are increasingly involved in joint research in the field of particle technology. Unfortunately, these studies have also dealt with conflict and competition between the two of them. However, that is often the tie between the destiny of both.

"That's cool," Ats stared in amazement, "What if I write it into a novel?"

"Do you like to write?" Professor Han scrunched his forehead. Ats nodded. He looked like a writer who had just received enlightenment.

"Well, it's up to you" Professor Han allowed. I don't feel like time has passed. It's time for Ats to return to the dorm. His days at the academy will continue.
