His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1043

Chapter 1043 - Not A Ghost, A Phantom

After the security system dealt with the hackers, there was once again peace and quiet in the Computer Department but it didn’t last long. Iris Long’s security system suddenly started acting weird. Then a pop-up message appeared on all of the department’s computer screens.

"Initiating Power Flood...."

The staff members were alarmed.

"What’s happening?! Is there another attack?"

"Is this a virus? Did we get breached?"

"What the heck is a power flood?!"

They attempted to control the situation but to no avail. They had no idea at all of what was happening.

The department head was about to alert Headmaster Dupont of the situation when another message popped up on their screens.

"Please don’t be alarmed. I mean no harm. I just want to borrow power from Cross Academy. Please let the headmaster know that I’ll compensate the academy at a later date. Thanks. Sincerely, Drakon."

Everyone in the unit knew Drakon. After all, the surveillance and security system that they had been using since last year had been designed by her. Even though not all of them knew that she was the disciple of the legendary hacker, Fantom, everyone in the department admired and respected her skills especially the department head.

"So it’s you," the department head sighed while shaking his head. He might sound annoyed but the small, amused curl of his mouth showed that he was already accepting the current situation.

Then the lights started flickering.

"Whoa! Ghost?!"

"Mama!"

"Shut up. It’s just Drakon."

"Drakon is a ghost?!"

"I want my Mama! Too scary!"

"Hahaha! Your mama will beat you up for acting like a grown-ass chicken."

Laughter filled the room even as the lights continued flickering like a scene out of a horror movie. Now that they knew who was causing the anomaly, all of them relaxed and took the opportunity to entertain themselves with what was happening.

The department head joined them, chuckling but murmured, "Not a ghost, a phantom."

There was a saying among everyone at the academy that even if the rest of the world was thrown in a blackout, Cross Academy would always have light due to its hi-tech yet sustainable electrical grid system. There was nothing like it in the world. An alumni developed it exclusively for Cross Academy decades ago. Of course, the academy continued to modernize the grid since then. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

And right now, this one-of-a-kind electrical grid was being sucked out of an enormous amount of power. If it were any other culprit, the academy would never take this lying down. But the culprit this time was none other than Cross Academy’s own student, Iris Long, a.k.a. Drakon.

They couldn’t possibly call her a thief when she asked for permission, could they?

No, that wasn’t accurate. She didn’t exactly "ask" for permission but "informed" them instead while she was already redirecting what looked like an astronomical amount of power.

The department head was currently talking with Professor Dupont on the phone. Long story short, the headmaster instructed him and the entire Computer Department to allow Iris Long to do whatever she wanted this time. In fact, he even told them to be ready to assist her if she needed any help.

"Miss Long has spent the least amount of academy funds and resources among the enrolled students so far this year," Professor Erwan Dupont said. "Letting her use this much power should not be a problem. Our academy can afford it." Then he added, "But we’ll still accept her offer of compensation."

The department head agreed, but deep inside, he was sighing at the headmaster’s nonchalance. Seeing the rate of the academy’s power being drained, he estimated that it should be an equivalent of a developed country like America’s power consumption in a whole week, perhaps more.

Imagine a week of power being spent in mere minutes.

Even a country like America wouldn’t be able to handle this kind of fast and intense power drainage. A normal electrical grid would surely collapse. Fortunately, Cross Academy didn’t have this problem. Like what Professor Dupont said, the academy could afford it.

After the phone call with the headmaster, the department head instructed the others to analyze how the power flood worked before they asked Iris Long for clarification. Excitement filled them as they went to work learning from Drakon’s performance, the hotshot hacker who was younger than all of them.
