All Chapters of After My Death, I Became A Genius: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

SAVANNA (VERONICA)I frowned slightly and lifted my gaze toward Ethan.He wasn't meeting my eyes properly. His shoulders were drawn in, and he was fidgeting his fingers.There was something behind his expression, something between embarrassment and unease."D-do you thi-ink it's a virus?" He asked, his voice was low.His words were filled with hesitation and uncertainty.I tilted my head, letting my eyes linger on his cute, handsome face, which was now red with embarrassment."Did you randomly click on some websites and stumble into... 18+ content?"My tone rolled out casually. I wouldn't be really surprised or mind if he did, though.He was sixteen, and at this age, kids were highly curious, especially about sexual topics.His reaction was instant.Heat rushed to his ears too quickly, it was almost impressive.My brow arched in amusement. I had never encountered such a shy boy in my life; otherwise, they were pretty open about their needs, some were even disgusting."I-I didn't," he

VICTOR"Is it not done yet?" I sat my phone on the desk, lifting my head.It had already been over ten minutes, and that alone was enough to tell me this wasn't a regular one.Cassius didn't look up; his eyes were glued to the laptop screen, brows furrowed tightly.He was drawn forward, enough to give away the pressure he's in.George stood off to the side, shifting his weight once before going still again.His eyes moved from Cassius to the screen, then back again, as if he wanted to ask something but knew better than to interrupt.George Simon, the president of Astor Heights University, suddenly dropped by my home this evening, with an unusual request.He was trying to find a "mathematics genius" who had solved a certain problem.Although he could have found it easier with general hackers, he came to me.I didn't mind, though. After all, he'd been my president as well when I was a student in Astor Heights, and since he came with some hope, it's a pleasure to help.So, I asked Cassiu

SAVANNA (VERONICA)A sharp chorus of gasps broke through the room, followed by scattered screams."N-no, Vero!" Ethan's voice cracked as he tried to rush forward.But it was too late; he couldn't get far.The bat, however, stopped, barely a breath away from her now pale cheek.Time seemed to have stopped in place."Oh my God..." A teacher whispered from somewhere behind me, and her voice was trembling.Their eyes were wide in panic.My gaze, however, was on the woman.Her face had drained of colour so fast.Her pupils were blown wide, locked on the bat hovering merely an inch from her skin, as if she couldn't process whether it had stopped, or just hadn't hit yet.Her body gave out immediately.Her knees buckled, and she dropped to the floor beside her useless son with a weak, uneven thud.Still staring at the bat.Slowly, the corner of my lips curved upward. I was quite amused, honestly.That landed just fine, eh?The bat stayed right where it was for another second.I had all the he

SAVANNA (VERONICA)But before I could even open my mouth..."V-vero... l-let it g-go." Ethan's fingers tightened around my sleeve, stopping me from moving further.The boys finally realized my gaze was on them.They stiffened where they stood, backs pressed to the wall like they could disappear into it.Their shoulders trembled, eyes wide in fear, as they darted around, searching for anything, any words, any way out... Yet, nothing came.I originally didn't plan to break their legs, I was in no mood for that anymore.I only wanted to scare them, but they seemed to be frightened even before I could do anything.My brow arched in slight irritation. What a nuisance. And they called themselves 'guys', eh?Before the silence stretched further...The principal stepped in."In that case..." he cleared his throat, voice steadier now that the danger had passed, "each of you will write a formal statement, self-criticism, and read it in front of the entire school tomorrow."The boys flinched, th

SAVANNA (VERONICA)By now, a few heads had turned to our direction.The man's eyes sharpened in surprise for only a few seconds before his lips curved into a little smirk.He stepped closer."Girl, do you even know who you're talking to?" he asked, his voice dropping in arrogance."I can walk into any hospital in this city and be seen first."I didn't move though, instead, my brow raised slightly."Then you should've gone to one of those," I said flatly.His smile faded."I've got connections here," he continued, irritation creeping in. "You're out of your depth, girl.""Yeah?" I tilted my head slowly. "Then use them. Don't steal someone else's time."The receptionist shifted nervously beside us. "Sir, ma'am, please...""Stay out of it," he snapped at her, then turned back to me. "You really don't get it, do you? People like you wait. People like me don't."My lips curved slightly."Funny," I shrugged. "Because right now... you're the one standing here arguing with me, wasting my prec
