His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245 - The Other Geniuses

Iris and Grandpa Lu both stayed at the campus. He had a house in one of the residential districts which was mostly occupied by instructors. He sent someone to pick up her luggage from his mansion in Zürich and sent it to her dorm.

The unit she was assigned to was more like an apartment suite. It had a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, a study room and a kitchenette.

What pleased Iris the most was that it also had a computer room already equipped with three high-performance computers. Of course the computers couldn’t compare to her own back at the penthouse, but she knew that the academy had more advanced computers in the Computer Department available for her to use.

She hadn’t met with any of the other students yet, probably busy with their own studies. However, Giulia Moretti assured her that Professor Dupont would be throwing a welcoming dinner for her and Grandpa Lu soon. She would have a chance to meet her fellow students then.

In the meantime, Iris began immersing herself in her own studies. She met with Professor Kalisha Schwarz and Professor Hisakawa Akio.

Besides her language studies, she also visited the Computer Department. They were informed that the hacker Drakon would be coming. When the current department head saw her, he teared up.

Iris also blinked her eyes rapidly, trying hard not to cry. He was one of her previous instructors as Evelina.

"Oh, forgive me. I thought that you’re one of my former students. For some reason, you give off the same vibes," he said, wiping his eyes with his sleeves. "But that’s impossible. You’re clearly a different person. And besides, she’s...she’s not with us anymore."

"Are you talking about Fantom? Or should I say Evelina?" she asked in a soft voice.

His eyes widened. "You know her?"

She nodded. "She’s...she’s my master. She taught me everything about computers before she...passed away."

"Oh! So that’s why your style, Drakon’s style, is so eerily similar to Fantom’s. I see."

It seemed that Professor Dupont didn’t inform others about Iris’ claim of being Evelina’s student.

"So you’re the student of my student. I was a little disappointed when I heard that Drakon didn’t enroll in our Computer Department, but now that I know that you’re Evelina’s student, I’m not surprised. She had been a key force in advancing the development of our department to what it is now. She had long surpassed me and her other computer instructors in just two years since her enrollment." He sighed, shaking his head. "It’s unfortunate to lose such a genius among genius like her."

A lump caught in her throat. She took a few deep breaths to control her emotions.

After that, she began coming to the Computer Department regularly.

In just a couple of days, she reinforced the campus’ computer security system. They were still using the old system she developed as Evelina in the past, albeit they made several improvements on it. However, she developed a newer, sleeker and more secure version. It was also more aggressive against attackers.

The department head and the other instructors verified the security of her version. In the end, Professor Dupont approved it and it became the academy’s new security system.

When they finished installing it, the department head teared up again.

"Ah, I must be getting old," he said, giving a sheepish laugh as he wiped his tears. "You just remind me of Evelina so much. I’m sure that she’s proud of you as her student. I wish she’s here with us to see your achievements."

’I’m here. I can see everything,’ she replied inside, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

Iris had never met other Cross Academy students in person before as Evelina because her small army of entourage didn’t allow her. That was why she was excited and curious meeting other students in this lifetime.

Comparing herself to their numerous achievements, she realized that she still had a long way to go. These people were, without a doubt, geniuses.

Although their fields of expertise were different from each other, they were still able to find interesting topics of conversation, especially the ladies. They all spoke in English because only Iris could speak German among them.

Amanpio sidled close to her. "Hey. Can I get your number? I also want to invite you for lunch or something. I know a good restaurant near the mall. And...do you have a boyfriend?"

Iris gave him a polite smile. "I can give you my e-mail address. If the others are willing to join us, we can have lunch together. And yes, I do have a boyfriend."

"Oh dang. Tsk. Oh well. I tried. By the way, you’re my type." He winked at her, only leaving her side when she gave him her e-mail address.

She didn’t really think much about it. He didn’t look serious. Besides, they were fellow students. Forging close connections with anyone from Cross Academy was always a good idea.

After dinner, the group dispersed. The males returned to their own respective research while the ladies made a promise to meet the next day for a girls day out. They planned to watch a movie, go shopping and eat dinner together.

’I’m so glad I decided to stay here at the campus,’ she thought. ’But I miss Liwei. I wonder if he’s alright and taking care of Ice Cream and Popcorn. I miss them so much.’

Her heart longed for him...for home. But she must regain her inner balance first before returning to him.
