My Professor is a Bastard

Chapter 26:Uncovering The Stained Curtain

Stella's PoV (October 11, 2134)

There's something wrong with Glenn since yesterday.

I went up to his dorm and knock, but the bastard just shove me away.

What am I? A paid s*x worker?

But I know he has reasons too. So, I just gave him space.

Earlier, he avoided me and said the principal is looking for him. Again, I didn't complain.

After this class, Glenn's next.

I'll talk to that man later.

''... brought immediate economic sanctions against North Korea by members of the UN Security Council. UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher and US president George H. W. Bush deployed forces into South Korea, and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene.''

I just have to wait until this Professor Khan's class ends.

'Mr. Eldone.''

''A-Ah. What is it, sir?'' Denver stuttered..

''What countries are we discussing right now? Since you have plenty of time staring at my niece, I believe you used your ear for listening.''

Ah. I hope there's nothing wrong with them now.

Rheanelle said that she is doubting Professor Khan and Denver. She is confused on whether who will she believed in.

Denver then murmured something. What is he saying?

''What?''

''Ah. The countries, United Kingdom of America and North Korea.'' Denver nervously answered. His gonna get in trouble.

''You may now sit. The initial conflict to expel North Korean troops from Kuwait began with an aerial and naval bombardment on 6 January 2081, continuing for six weeks. During this period, North Korea launched Scud missiles against coalition targets in India and Indonesia in an attempt to provoke a coalition-jeopardizing in Hinduism response, which failed to materialize. This was followed by a ground assault by coalition forces on 24 February. This was a decisive victory for the coalition forces, who liberated Kuwait and advanced into North Korea's territory. The coalition ceased its advance and declared a ceasefire 110 hours after the ground campaign star...''

This lesson is not quiet useful in my field. I'll just be waiting and shoot at a tall tree or anything and assassinate all the personnel inside that damn castle.

Or that's what I played in my head.

A certain knock stray our gaze away from the front.

Who is it?

''You can enter.''

''Is Mr. Denver Eldone and Ms. Rheanelle Wister here?'' Its our senior. Thana Raven from class 3-A. She's a batch mate of Brent, my brother.

''Yes. What is it?''

''The test for Doctorate will begin at 13 o'clock in the afternoon. Please prepare at the library after break.''

''Okay. We got that.'' Denver replied.

''Your applying for doctorate, Rheanelle?''

Oooppss. Its gonna be a troublesome day for Rheanelle.

Rheanelle just looked at Professor Khan. She don't want to disappoint him.

''...This matter will be continued next meeting. Goodbye, Class 1-A.''

''Goodbye, Professor Khan.''

''Rheanelle. I'll wait at the teacher's room. You better prepare yourself in explaining.'' He said with this look on his face.

He walked out of the room.

''Is this about what you told us the other day?'' Peach asked.

''Yes, it is.'' Rheanelle answered with a heavy sigh.

''That must be so hard. But we will always stay by your side.'' I encouraged her.

Professor Glenn entered the room.

His sweating. Where the hell did he go?

Is he cheating? I'll beat that woman up if he is.

''Good day, Class.''

''Good day, sir.'' We answered.

''I'm sorry if I couldn't attend during the homeroom earlier. The principal called me for you guys. Now, I have to settle this matter.''

What matter? A matter with your mistress?

You better not do it, Glenn.

''...*sigh* Okay. Akira, Ryuu. Occupied. Japanese Ambassador from Caylon. Philunkantaar Ayatachikan. Occupied. Biologist. Mhessy Carter. Occupied. Military Spy. Are these three correct?''

He seemed tired.

''Sir, Yes, sir.'' The three agreed.

''Cian, Xing Woo. Unoccupied. Why is that?'' he asks.

''My boss haven't said what is suitable for me.''

''Then pick your own. Your boss isn't the one who will be engaging in battle. Tell that boss of yours that I picked your positi...''

What happened to this guy?

''Bomber, sir.''

''Then, its settled. Wait for Professor Unvecinelle to teach you that. Next will be...Denver Eldone...Semi-Occupied. Your taking the exam today. Stella Fleandear, my dear...'' My dear, My a*s!

You have been avoiding me since yesterday. Now your calling me 'my dear'! How infuriating!

''...Occupied. Pair sniper with Caspian Hutton from Class 1-B. Lee Dae Jun. semi-occupied. Why?''

Fuck you! You Bastard Professor!

''I'm still under training to drive as a Pilot of Aeromedical Evacuation. Professor Aaron haven't pass me yet.''

''Then do your best as a Medevac. Yura Kovichkov.Semi-Occupied. Still under training in driving the airship?''

''Yes, sir.''

''Yuriy Kovichkov. Occupied. Battle Tank Gunner. Kenny Lau. Occupied. Frontline Squad. Arianne Rodrigues. Unoccupied. Why?''

''Still cannot choose sir.''

''Well, don't be picky. Peach Tarnille. Not allowed to join due to the World Leaders request to stay out of the battlefield along with Brent Fleandear from Class 3-A.''

I'm thankful for Peach. She drove out my brother from the battlefield. I cannot lose another brother.

''Rheanelle Wister. Occupied. Commanding Team as Strategist...''

''Sir!'' Rheanelle suddenly stood up. Oh, yaeh. Right.

She wants to change her position.

''Is there something wrong?'' This bastard...

''I am applying for Doctorate this noon sir. If you can still change that, then please change it. I am still semi-occupied.''

After Rheanelle, the remaining students were called and our lesson began.

''...he military strategy. I have taught Louise about this privately because he is very interested in it. Military strategy is a set of ideas implemented by military organizations to pursue desired strategic goals. Derived from the Greek word strategos, the term strategy, when it appeared in use during the 18th century, was seen in its narrow sense as the "art of the gene...''

I really wish his just teaching Louise this days. Maybe his tired in teaching Louise privately, right?

But what if they did things more than that?

What should I do? I cannot suspect them. Lousie is a great friend. And Glenn is my...my...panther cub.

He cannot just break a legend.

Are you dumb, Stella? Of course he can!

And why are you believing in such bullshit! This is the advanced era. Legends and Myths are considered rare now.

''...ategy as "the employment of battles to gain the end of war." B. H. Liddell Hart's definition put less emphasis on battles, defining strategy as 'the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy'. Hence, both gave the pre-eminence to political aims over the military goals. Strategy differs from tactics, in that strategy refers to the employment of all of a nation's military capabilities through high level and long term planning, development and procurement to guarantee security or victory. Now, get all your military textbooks and open to page 46. Strategy and Tactics Background.''

I got back to my present self.

Glenn and I meet glazes. He just looked down.

There is something going on!

''Military strategy in the 19th century was still viewed as one of a trivium of "arts" or "sciences" that govern the conduct of warfare; the others being tactics, the execution of plans and maneuvering of forces in battle, and logistics, the maintenance of an army. The view had prevailed since the Roman times, and the borderline between strategy and tactics at this time was blurred, an...''

I'll be giving you a blurred eyesight tomorrow once my barret hits your face.

Once I know you did something funny, I'll never forgive you, Glenn.

''Professor Khan must have explained to you the French Revolutionary Wars. Force concentration or Concentration Of Troops is the practice of concentrating a military force so as to bring to bear such overwhelming force against a portion of an enemy force that the disparity between the two forces alone acts as a force multiplier in favour of the concentrated forces. We will get to Concentration of Troops tomorrow. Georges Benjamin Clemenceau was a French statesman who served as Prime Minister of France from 1906 to 1909 and again from 1917 until 1920.''

Glenn. Please tell me you did nothing funny. You did not cheat. And all of these are just in my head.

''As French statesman Georges Clemenceau said, "War is too important a business to be left to soldiers." This gave rise to the concept of the grand strategy which encompasses the management of the resources of an entire nation in the conduct of warfare...ategy or high strategy is the long-term strategy pursued at the highest levels by a nation to further its interests. Issues of grand strategy typically include the choice of primary versus secondary theaters in war, distribution of resources among the various services, the general types of armaments manufacturing to favor, and which international allia...''

This is giving me a headache. I closed my eyes in pain.

''Sir!...'' That shout woke me up. That was loud! ''...es the Principal prepared a Grand Strategy?'' Giovanni asks. The pain disappeared.

''...E-ehhh. The Principal will be briefing you this weekend. He will explain, okay.'' he answered.

''Hey, your boyfriend seems to be in a stress lately...'' Rheanelle then whispered to me.

''Yeah. I don't know why, but I'll spend the night at his dorm. Is that okay with you guys?'' I said with a sad tone.

''Of course.'' Peach answered.

''...he Nazi's strategy. Hitler's strategy for war was laid out in Mein Kampf from year 1925 to 1926. Whether Hitler intended global or merely European conquest, or whether he even had a plan for war in advance is debated. In Mein Kampf...'' He continues. ''...Hitler had imagined a short war against France, and then the conquest of the USSR. He had wrongly assumed that Britain would be a German ally in the west against France, and so he did not foresee an enduring war in the west. In June 1941 Germany invaded the USSR, Operation Barbarossa, to carry out the second part of Hitler's strategy. The campaign plan envisaged defeating the USSR in a single summer / fall campaign, but Barbarossa failed to achieve any of its major objectives. In December 1941 Japan attacked the USA and Germany declared war on the USA shortly afterwards. Through the summer and fall of 1942, German strategy to win the war remained based on defeat...''

Defeat. What's with that word?

The bell rang.

Finally! I can now talk to this bastard.

''Rheanelle and Denver will not be available this afternoon, right?'' Glenn asked. ''Yes, sir!''

The class was empty when I walk towards him.

''What's wrong, Glenn?''

''I was wrong...''

Huh?

''I shouldn't have...'' He then hugged me. What's with this guy?

''G-Glenn... I cannot understand you.''

He then broke into tears.

''I am sorry...''

For what?

''For what, Glenn?'' My heart is beating. It is exploding from inside.

''Remember yesterday when I go to the principal office?'' He said.

''Yes?''

''My father was there.''

Father?

''You mean, Uncle Harell?''

''Yes...I...I started a fight with him...''

''Ahh...ehhh...I'm sorry I didn't know. I imagined a lot of things this morning. I have no idea it goes like that.'' f**k you, Stella.

''What are you imagining, then?'' He sobbed and caress my back. He put his hand inside my tucked shirt.

''Ahhh...G-Glenn....We shouldn't be doin this...I-inside the r-ro-room..'' f**k. His horny right now.

''There's one more thing more surprising...'' He stopped his hand on my hips.

''W-What is it?'' Ughhh. If your turning someone on...You should help them get r---

''Your father was with him...''

What?

''My father...?''

''And Brent is there too...''

''C-Can you tell me the whole story?'' Dad? Why is he there?

''When I arrived at the room, my dad, your dad, Brent and the principal was there. I asked why is there so many people gathering...''

Yesterday, October 10, 2134 Glenn's PoV

''Ehh? Why is everybody here? And on top of that, Why are you with Mr. Arthur Fleandear, Dad?'' I asked.

''His my bestfriend. Your mother and his wife are bestfriends too.''

''But, that...you never told me any of this...'' I look at Brent.

''And why is Stella not here. She is supposedly here, right?''

''No... We will not harm the baby dragon..'' Father then said.

''Harm?'' Brent suddenly said.

''Listen first.'' Stella's dad said. ''...we have found the notorious murderer.''

Stella's mom's murderer.

''W-What? Dad? Is this a prank?'' I confusedly asked. Stella has been enduring her training as a military so she can hunt that murderer down.

''We've been enduring our trainings, Dad. Just to find and kill that bastard! We have been just enduring, Dad!'' Brent is mad.

Its a good news that they found that person. But it is somehow wrong too.

''Who was it?''

Brent then asked.

''It's...''

Who is this motherfucker?

''...Gallilea...Reevish...''

Gallilea...Reevish.

Reevish.

Reevish.

The word struck me hard.

''Aunt...Gallilea? Isn't she the one who was sent to the mental hospital?'' I suddenly asked.

''Gallilea...The witch who believed she is the golden baby dragon...'' Brent utters.

''How can that be possible? The golden baby dragon will come from the Fleandear...''

''Just like how her brain is twisted...she also thought it was a twist in the story...She's f*****g in love with my dad..''

''When did you find out?'' I asked. How come they found this out?

''Its a long story...but both of us...spend all those years to caught the murderer. How would I know it was just my sister?'' Dad suddenly bursts into tears.

''Let's tell it to Stella.'' I suggested.

''We cannot harm her.'' Dad furiously said.

''Why?'' Brent asks. ''She's the daughter of the victim.'' Brent was blanked.

''We just cannot tell her...'' Uncle Arthur...

''WHY!''

''Brent, calm down. Gallilea...escaped from her ward three days ago.'' It's the principal.

''What?''

Brent froze as he heard it.

''She still doesn't know this place. And it'll be impossible for her to find out.''

''But that will be risking our lives here.'' Brent exclaimed.

''If we tell Stella about this...she can't relax and she'll be in a fatigue state...worse will be that she won't be able to sleep and die.'' The principal exclaimed.

The two of us, Brent and I, calmed down after hearing the reason.

We got out of the room but our father's remained there.

''We should keep this a secret.''

''Yes. We should.''

The two of us agreed. But that thing still bothers me that I didn't notice I've been avoiding Stella.

Present Time---

''He wanted me to go back. Both of us. Brent and I. They said, we have to go back so we can learn how the businesses run...''

I lied to Stella. I couldn't just tell her about it.

''Hey. I am very sorry. But I'm thankful that you didn't agree. I love you.'' Stella said.

''I love you too.'' I kissed her.

We go to the canteen and met Peach and Brent there.

And Brent seemed to be acting. The fucker just smiled and whatnot here and there.

How come he can act like that?

''Smile, bastard or they will suspect.'' Brent secretly whispered.

How come he is so easy going? Even I know this is just an act, how can this man do it?

Youngsters this days.
