After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

(A/N I hate going over 3k words!)

Chapter 58  Long Night In Star University! by Harem-Fan

     Monday was an interesting day. I found my older cousin Helen was a keeper, and let me know only two Tangs are ass-hats.

     It is Friday today, but what did the cyber-hacker do during the week?

     First, I said 'fuck it' to blackmailing that pig Debby Tang and straight up emailed all the dirt I found on her to her husband uncle Tang.

     Frankly she is his problem not mine. Why am I not concerned with Debby right now? I transferred all of her hidden money to many good charities around Eurasia.

     I even stole, cough, transferred the special Song bank account into a few different sources to hide its trail. However, to the Songs it will show that Debby stole it. I then sent the money into buying Tang stock under an assumed name. This way the money that was stolen actually goes back into the Tang family where it belongs.

     But what I never imagined, on Thursday in University, I found out that Head Anthony Tang filed for divorce from his long-time 1st wife Debby Tang.

     Why? The official reason was actually the private investigators and school bribes.

     At the Ball, the Head announced no one was to get involved with me and Scott, and with solid proof he actually did it?! But due to phone hacks the real reason was what she did to his 2nd wife.

     If Christmas was a thing in this world, I would say it came early for me! Well it is the start of September now, but I digress...

     Helen seems nonplussed like she expected this from her petty mother, and has not taken a stance except the one saying the house rules must be followed.

     Scott? He is absolutely devastated, and naturally is giving me eyes saying it's my fault his mother is being kicked out... Yeah my being targeted was totally me making her do it, sigh.

     The past three nights he has been drinking his heart out at his Song family bar. I found that the Song and Ning are actually partially tied into the Crouching Tigers group as a small faction.

     The twins' father is a notorious crime figure under the Tang. Reading about him, I understand why the twins have a mean trickster side, but with a father as bad as he is, they turned out to be angels compared to how they could have been.

     The very reason the twins hated men was because of how cruel and heartless their father was. So the two just figured all men were trash ready to exploit women and the weak. Then they met me and learned some men are powerful and kind. They had a dream of a father who cared for their children.

     On Wednesday, I found the same private investigator watching me, so I placed my Judge Revolver on his temple, and asked him nicely to beat it, and I have not seen him again.

     Hmm, what else...

     Number 3, Alex found the new Number 4 for a match, but Danny Shu told Alex his injuries with the previous Number 4 are still healing, so that fight is still pending. Alex even offered him 1 million dollars to throw the fight, but he was rejected fearing Tony Feng's wrath for cheating.

     Due to the missing computer teachers, the school had been showing course related movies for a few days while they got replacements. The school was smart and for all main courses, they created simple material to help fill the teaching time.

     With Hana and Mary, I made a mistake watching soaps with them and now I have been dragged into their stupid show watching, worst of all, I am getting into the retarded plot. Now we have to wait a week to find out who the baby the head nurse is carrying, hint he is a noble comatose patient that she slept with while he was out, sigh.

     Tina and Linda have been doing small eye-battles and gunpowder is in the air. It is not serious but the two are just naturally repelled by one another, and they use me as the rope for tug-a-war in business class.

     Victoria has been doing all of the quizzes for us to grade tonight, and she has become ever so slightly more friendly around me after Monday's lunch.

     Oh that's right, Steve Woo and Cat Woo had a huge fight over Mary when she found out, and it seems he is afraid of her family and she is making him miserable. This was a pleasant surprise.

     Kung-Fu class has been going well, and I have been teaching a few talented students some animal-styles for them to practice with. Seems my Frog Style made an impact and some girls love it.

     I told my Kung-Fu coach that I would miss Fridays due to my late nights with my business teacher, so I could go home and feed my two wives during the afternoon. Love-Triangles eyes-glittered hearing the new Teacher Long was my business teacher and I had to feed wives. With Tina around, she keeps getting story ideas for her online novel, sigh.

     And this more or less touches on the notable spots of the week.

-

     So we are halfway done with our longer Friday business class, Principles of Management.

     I have finished the Quiz and walk up to place it on Victoria's desk and she only looks at me with a look of 'as expected' while the other students want to throw things at me to pressure them.

     "Mr Lee, could you watch the testers while I make some calls. My business partners are impatient for me to make some decisions, and since you're done?"

     "Sure I will use the desk to do some work on my smartphone then."

     Victoria then left the room to step out with her phone.

     I then sat at her desk and watched the students. Scott has dark-bags under his eyes from drinking, depression, and lack of sleep. So he looks great.

     The first student to finish the test was Linda and she came to the desk to turn it in and she whispered to me.

     "I will be waiting to study with you tomorrow Rick so don't stand me up."

     Though her face and words sound cold, for some reason I can tell she seems happy. While smiling I tell her. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "So far my schedule looks free, and I will check your test for the week so I know where you need help."

     Linda nodded and then went back to her seat.

     Soon Jenifer and some other sharp students turned in their work. And finally Tina came to leave her test with me.

     "Seeing you sitting there makes me think of you as Teacher Lee, and I need to be disciplined."

     She squinted her gold-eyes at me trying to use her seduction skill on me, but I am building some immunity to it. I can tell when she is only playing like now, and when she is honest like when we are alone.

     "Miss Feng, I can only change your grades if I receive compensation. Okay-okay go back before you really get me in-trouble."

     She sways her hips for me as she goes back making sure Linda can see us, man she really does not get along with poor Linda.

     Soon the last two students came to drop off the tests, James and Scott. Both men look like they did not do too well. I say to James.

     "Don't worry Jim, it's only a quiz and not a real test, plus classes have only started so go chill."

     At this time Victoria walks back to the desk and I get up. She looks irritated, but I don't ask.

     "Thanks Mr Lee, I was dealing with an old University acquaintance and his company is doing a space project with one of my Long corporations. He is a bit pushy."

     I just nod because I don't really care. But I try to look friendly.

     "No problem, so I will go back to my seat now."

     She nodded and I went back.

     Class soon ended and it was lunch time for most, but I am going home for meal time with Mary and Hana.

-

     Victoria has another late class after lunch and it ends at 5 pm, so I have come a few minutes early and stand by the exit.

     The students of this class are looking at me strangely, like I am some hobo coming to hit on their teacher. This class is a second year class.

     Why am I getting strange looks? Because I am wearing my black-bodyguard outfit to be here right now. It is starting to get cooler and this outfit is warmer and more comfortable.

     Victoria, seeing it's time, says to the class.

     "All of your tests will be over and I will post the results next Monday, have a safe weekend."

     Then she puts all of the test-papers in her bag. Some of the horny boys, afraid I am a creep, hang in the hallway to make sure she is safe, or better yet save the teacher and make her fall for them.

     Sadly for the hero wannabes, Victoria walked to me and said.

     "Mr Lee, my office is on the first floor so we can be more comfortable there while we grade."

     I nod and follow her to the elevator and we board.

     Two men also squeeze in for the ride, sigh, this is what I told Tina and Jenifer about. So I put my back to a corner so I can see everything.

     Victoria saw me slowly unbutton my jacket and she frowned. She whispered.

     "Something wrong?"

     "No, it was just getting warm in here."

     When we got to the bottom I waved the two students out, and they went. 

     I could tell that they wanted to see Victoria's ass, but they would look too obvious if they floundered over it. Soon the two of us stepped out.

     We walked down the corridor about 40 feet to an office door marked...

     [Teacher Victoria Long, Business Department]

     She unlocked it and turned on the light then waved me in. She closed the door and went to her desk.

     The office has two armchairs in front of her desk, and in the corner a three person couch and small table with a mini-fridge.

     As a professional couch-sleeper, I can tell this room is set up for late-nights and overnights. In the back is a small toilet-room and sink.

     I remove my overcoat and then Victoria gets a good look at my three guns  on my body. The two HK P30's under my arms in shoulder-holsters and on my lower back the new Assassins Affection. She asks me.

     "Students shouldn't carry guns in University, right?"

     I smile at her and say.

     "My guns are school approved. I have a carry and concealment from my job, and I have a record of being targeted, you could say I attract danger."

     She nodded to knowing her family was involved in one of my troubles.

     I sit on the couch and wait.

     Victoria then pulled her rolling desk chair to the table in front of me and put three large stacks on the table. She then points.

     "This is for the first three grade years and advanced courses I teach. Go ahead and do year one, and I will start on year three and we will both get to year two together."

     I take one of her red-pens and immediately start going through the sheets and marking off the wrong answers as I see them and putting the final score in red on the top. Victoria, seeing my rapid speed asked.

     "Rick, I have not given you the answer sheet yet?!"

     I shake my head and tell her.

     "No need, all of this is memorized by me already, so just start before I end up helping you with year three."

     Victoria grabs one of the sheets I scored not believing her eyes and looks surprised. I ignore her and keep scoring...

-

     One hour later and I just finished the last year's two sheets and put the pen down rubbing my fingers. Yeah, writing for an hour straight still sucks on the fingers. 

     I look and see she has about ten sheets left from year three and I ask with a smile.

     "Teacher Long, would you like help with those?"

     Victoria, seeing my smug smile, feels helpless and said.

     "I am not so proud that I won't ask for help, so yes please."

     So I pick up the pen and don't make it hard on her anymore. As I was finishing the last one, I said to her.

     "This would have taken you up to four hours, why not grade them during the week instead of doing them all late Friday night?"

     She then puts the three stacks in her filing cabinet and explains to me.

     "Not only am I teaching, but I still run my share of Long companies. The ones I kept for myself are mostly the ones I built from the ground up, and I don't want to give them up. They are like my children. So during the week I run them at the corporate office downtown at night."

     Ding Ding! I look at my Cat and Mouse app and see a hostile phone approaching the 300 feet mark and see its Alex Renaldo!

     I stood up and pulled out my Taurus Judge, and waited by the door which I locked alerting Victoria and she asked what's going on?!

     "A man named Alex Renaldo and I have hostility and he is coming here now so stay back."

     Victoria heard that name, and said to me.

     "No wait, he is the business partner I told you about, the one from university. He is probably coming to talk to me."

     I look at Victoria like she is stupid and say.

     "Alex Renaldo coming to see you late at night in school while no one is around, and you think that is normal? I have to reassess your genius status in my heart Miss Long, sigh."

     I put my revolver back and put my long-coat on to hide my guns and sit on the couch. I am annoyed at this cliche development of running into Number 3 while with another of his love targets.

     Click Click, Knock Knock! And by the sound, he was literally going to barge in without knocking, and only knocked with the locked door!

     [Vicky it's me Alex, open up, I have come to talk to you.]

     I waved my hand at the door with a smile guessing dip shit brought flowers based on his speech.

     Victoria opens the door and a dozen roses get handed to her and she looks a bit taken aback as I cover my mouth to hide my grin.

     "You're as beautiful as always Vicky, it's been a few months."

     She put on her business smile and asked.

     "So what brought you here? It is a bit late and I am finishing my grading. If it's business we can do it in my office where I have my documents."

     He put  on his charming smile and said.

     "I was saying hello to some of my old teachers and thought taking you out for dinner would be perfect, it has been a while since my overseas trip."

     Victoria shakes her head and says.

     "My teacher aid and I are already going for dinner so I can't, sorry."

     Alex finally noticed me on the couch just grinning at him, so I waved and said to him.

     "Sup Alex Renaldo! Did Ana Zi stand you up for dinner? I thought you two are getting married soon?"

     He points to me in agitation and asks me.

     "Why are you here?!"

     I decided to dick with him and say.

     "Alex, in order to defeat you, I will break your Martial-Heart by going out with all of the women you are trying to marry! First it is Tina Feng, then Victoria Long, then I will end my week with Ana Zi, mwahaha! No really you're stupid if you think you're important enough to do that too, sigh, she said it, I am her teacher's aid, stupid."

     "Why you little bastard!"

     Swoosh, Click! As he made his way to me I pulled out my revolver and pulled back the hammer on it and he froze. I don't have to tell him it's only got rubber bullets in it, but I tell him.

     "Tony Feng said we cant fight or kill or mess with family, but if you attack, it is in my rights to give you a new hole in your stupidly handsome face! I am recording this conversation so I can prove my innocence in jail and with Feng, so come for it stupid!"

     Victoria, who had been speechless at our conflict, said to the both of us.

     "Alex, you should not have come to start a fight with my student, and Rick, please do not redecorate my office."

     I slowly put the hammer back and put my gun away not wanting to escalate things. Alex also realized I seem to be doing this all on purpose and he calms and tries to look charming again.

     "Vicky and Rick, I am sorry for my behavior, let me buy dinner for both of you as an apology."

     Victoria looked at me and I said.

     "It is fine, I don't need it, I accept your apology, as for dinner, I don't want to be a third wheel. I can grab some Big Burgers or something."

     I stood up to leave and Alex looked surprised I was just going to go?!

     Sadly as I was about to leave, Victoria grabbed my damn long-coat, and I thought of that movie about superheroes dying to their capes.

     "Sorry Alex, but I made a promise to Rick for his help. And if I do not go through with it, then he can break it as well. He said it was integrity, and in business that is everything. So I will be going to a meal with my student as payment for his hard work."

     Okay now she is pulling a Hana grocery-store on me, but she does have a point. I would have actually bailed on her, damn she can read my moves!

     "Then how about Monday night, I will visit you in your corporate building?"

     Then she said to him.

     "Let me see what I have planned that night and my secretary will try to fit you in."

     Alex reluctantly left while giving me a look of shit that he couldn't get off his shoe.

     Victoria said to me when he was gone.

     "You're a little despicable to abandon a maiden to a pervert."

     I point to her and think about it and admit.

     "Yes, but I don't want to be a doormat as well."

     "Rick Lee, do you think I am that kind of person?"

     I put my shoulders up and say.

     "Honestly I don't know you well, but I don't think you are."

     Victoria grabs her purse and keys, and says to me.

     "Let's go Rick Lee, we have much to talk about then. I am driving."

     I shrug and follow for my free meal...
