He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 40. I have a permanent marker here, sign on my face.

Chapter 40: Chapter 40. I have a permanent marker here, sign on my face.

Kailen’s resolute eyes flickered ’’ My parents were definitely not ordinary. Just the fact that they have an ascendant level material diary is enough proof that they have some connection to the universe. That’s the only rational possibility.

Kailen sighed deeply

’’Let’s just focus on growing stronger and take a step at a time. I could sit here and speculate unreasonably or focus on what is in front of me. When I get to the ascendant level, I will naturally know what’s in this diary. If my speculation about my parents is wrong, so be it, if its right, then I’ll know how to proceed’’

Just when Kailen was caught up in his thoughts, his phone vibrated.

[Angela Hayes; Alright, I thought you said you wouldn’t be participating in the university entrance exams? Well, Enjoy your life at the university. I will test you in case we have any leads on the Terror Surge Syndicate]

Kailen read the test, then placed the phone back into his pocket.

A pair of gluetooth devices appeared in his ears, then he sighed deeply, closing his eyes, nodding to the tune of the opening song of an animation franchise he had watched in his early teenage years, his hoodie cap draping his figure.

’’Started from nothing but now I’m here

Rejected and cast aside,

but now now yeah me they revere

The world scorned me,

abused and chained me,

even though life was unfair to me yeah yeah

But now I found myself,

Im gonna make it right

Im gonna hold on to life,

hold on so tight

Im gonna take my life into my hands

Tell myself Im not giving up yh-’’

A tap on the leg, a little girl’s voice.

Kailen snaps out of the humming, staring down at the little loly, his eyes widening.

’’Is this not the little girl I saved a few days ago? What is she doing here?’’

’’Uncle its really you!. What you did at the stadium that day was incredible. You were like puuwwuuuuushhshsh, and then that scary looking guy and his people vanished. Father said they run away hehe’’ The little girl’s dramatic antics drew the attention of her mother who had fallen asleep in the VIP seat adjacent to Kailen’s, ignoring her husband still sleeping, she decided to approach the scene before her daughter pulled something weird on the strange gentleman.

" Smart kid, she really realized it was me even under the hoodie,wonder how she’d react if she knew I killed Conrad and Co , her father obviously hid the truth from her to protect her childlike innocence" Kailen mused, as he stared at the little girl.

’’Felicia, don’t disturb the gentleman’’ Her mother quickly drew closer to her daughter

’’I apologize sir, my little girl can be quiet a bother sometimes’’ The woman politely apologized to the stranger.

The stranger nodded underneath the hoodie. However, the girl whispered something into her mother’s ears, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

’’It’s fine, kids are all like that’’ The stranger responded, his familiar voice causing the lady’s eyes to further widen.

’’Sir, could you be-’’

Before she could however complete her statement, the man beneath the hoodie cap voiced ’’Please with all due respect ma’am if people hear the name you are about to mention right now it will create a scene. I just want to peacefully listen to some music’’

’’Uncle don’t be mean to my mother’’ The little girl threw a tantrum, causing Kailen to sigh.

When it came to kids, the strings of his heart could somehow be pulled. Perhaps due to their innocent nature.

The woman glared at her child, a gesture indicating she should not be rude to her family’s benefactor

’’Yes, it’s me, Uncle Kailen’’ He replied as quietly as possible, confirming the child’s words to her mother and the woman’s guess from his familiar voice.

Micheal who was approaching the scene after jolting out of his sleep to identify the gentleman who had managed to capture the attention of the two most important ladies to him, suddenly halted on hearing the response, his brown eyes glinting with surprise.

’’Its him? Could he be heading to the Capital to also take the entrance exams? Is this not the third time I have met him? This can be no happenstance; we are probably fated to be friends. Not only did he save my life, but also that of my daughter, and now, we encounter him again?. I’d be a fool to not take advantage of this opportunity to befriend a man who’s not only my benefactor, but also extremely powerful. If I get to know him, perhaps, surviving the harsh environment of the university will be a little easier. Plus, I can find a way to make it up to him for saving my life and that of my daughter’’ With his mind made up, Micheal walked to Kailen’s seat, his gaze lingering on his wife and child, then on Kailen.

Due to the fact that Kailen had completely veiled his awakener’s aura, he didn’t stand out , seemingly looking ordinary.

Unlike the last time Micheal had seen him, he seemed more approachable .

Also , inasmuch him recalling the scene at the stadium made the seemingly ordinary young man seem very terrifying , he couldn’t behave timidly before his wife and daughter . A man had his dignity after all. Summoning his courage , he asked

" Sir, if I may ask, are you gonna take the entrance exams of Zanpala University ?"

Kailen felt this couple was disturbing his peace of mind,he was not a people’s person in the first place.

Also his experiences with people in the past 2 years were not the best ,frought with traumatic events.

However he couldn’t stand the sight of the little girl complaining that he was being mean to her parents.

He sighed inwardly, replying the man for his daughter’s sake " I’ll be enrolling in the University through a special recommendation"

Micheal eyes widened for a few seconds, however he regained his composure quickly " Of course, with his monstrosity ,it’s only natural he will enroll through special recommendation and not normal means."

It was pretty normal to him that although a special recommendation from Zanpala University was extraordinary,as it allowed one to skip the entrance exams, Kailen had managed to obtain one.

" Oh, then after I pass the entrance exams, I’ll come looking for you. May I have the honor of having your contact sir. I really want to find a way to repay you for saving not only my life,but my daughter’s. At least, let me have your number"

Kailen’s gaze beneath the hoodie lingered on the little girl, who stared at him eagerly.

It seemed he had no choice but to give the contact to the little girl’s father. " My soft spot for kids will be the end of me"

He gave in, berating himself inwardly , took the man’s phone and typed his number for him.

Micheal eagerly took the phone,rejoicing inwardly " Nailed it "

Quickly he made a call to Kailen.

" That’s my number sir " Kailen nodded at the man ,his expression neither cold nor warm.

’I should block his line as soon as he leaves’ Kailen thought to himself.

The couple realized the young man wanted to be alone, therefore they made the decision to leave him, about to thank him for his time before they leave with their daughter.

However the little girl’s innocent character blinded her from reading the room " Uncle Kailen, can I get an autograph ?"

" This girl... Is trouble " Kailen was at loss for words .

" I’m some sort of superstar now huh" He mused to himself, then nodded " Mmm"

Felicia giggled excitedly , then spoke childishly

" I have a permanent marker pen here, sign on my face"

Her parents "...."

Kailen "This..." Of all the things the child could come up with, he should sign an autograph on her face..

Did she take him for some deranged gentleman with weird fetishes for little girls?.

The little girl lept after saying that, her small button landing on Kailen’s laps

" Uncle it’s summer , why are you in a hoodie?. You can only sign the autograph with the hoodie cap off!"

After she blurted out her question, she flipped his hoodie cap off, revealing his face to the incredulous expressions of her parents.

Her mother was about to angrily scold her and apologize to Kailen for their daughter’s rudeness, however what he did next caused the couple to question whether or not they were dreaming.

He was smiling , instead of laughing at the little girl’s absurd behavior.

Micheal noticed that his smile was not forced, it was a genuine natural smile.

’ So beneath that cold exterior , he can smile huh. Looks like he’s taken a liking to little Feli’

Micheal mused to himself happily. With his daughter having been taken a liking to by this young powerhouse , becoming friends with Kailen Darkhaven may not seem too difficult in the end.

He gestured to his wife to let their daughter be, to which she obliged respectfully .

" Sure , however I can’t sign on your face, how about in your hands ? ,and I won’t use a permanent pen"

"No, that means it will wash off"

" Sweetheart why don’t you let Uncle sign for you with a real pen in your diary, that way it won’t wash off okay?"

Micheal tried convincing his daughter, his expression soft and calm

" Okay daddy, to that I can agree"

Kailen nodded , receiving the diary of the little girl from her father a few seconds later

’ I can’t believe I’m really gonna sign an autograph’ Kailen chuckled, he found it quite amusing .

This little girl was very interesting .

He sighed with his signature,after which the little girl insisted that she will sit on his lap for the remaining of the journey.

The couple sat in the seat behind Kailen for the remaining of the journey , leaving their little girl to the enigmatic young man who had become a benefactor to their family.

The child fell asleep after engaging Kailen in idle useless chatter,snoring herself away.

However ,the peaceful atmosphere in the bullet train was suddenly interrupted by a menacing voice that had barged into the VIP session.

" Everybody on your knees now!, your damn hands behind your shitty heads!"
