The Destiny of the Disconnected
Chapter 5 request

(Freak painting) Rumi's inner self as she looked at the gloomy picture that was getting bored.

"Isn't that a bad painting" a heavy voice appeared in the middle he was staring at the painting. Like I know what Rumi thinks.

Rumi turned around, seeing Aiden smiling at her. "I don't know" Rumi said. Honestly, the painting is as bad as Aiden said, but there's no way he's going to agree with the man.

He could clearly see the man's face. A very gloomy jet-black pupil. His thick eyebrows and nose were perfected by his pale white skin. The young-looking face made him very famous among the female disciples.

Aiden stared at the shabby painting again "That painting is not so good. But I can't throw it away".

"You must have your own reasons" said Rumi. Aiden did not answer, only smiled. I don't know what he meant by his smile..

"Do you know why I called you here" asked Aiden.

"I don't know". Ketus Rumi's.

"Rumi Taleetha Greesa's. The son of Evander Gressa" Aiden said suddenly discussing his family tree "A prominent national judo athlete whose name has sunk. Haha, even though your father has sacrificed a lot to become an athlete, but the country does not even give him an award" Aiden laughed.

The thin-boned woman scrunched her face "Are you insulting my father?" He said he did not like it, Rumi was most sensitive when discussing about family.

The Asian-faced man shook his head "It looks like your father passed down his skills to his only daughter. Until you became the youngest athlete to win a world judo match in Japan last month".

His expression returned to normal "That's nothing".

"You're so humble not like I thought".

Aiden smiled again "Because of some of your truly remarkable achievements, our Principal asked me to grant you a scholarship. Congratulations, you've got the Onestar scholarship".

Was Rumi surprised?, of course not. Let alone being surprised, he actually already knew. He was offered directly by the principal. Rumi was initially reluctant to accept the scholarship because he did not want to go to school, he did not have the intention to continue his high school education. But at the end of the day he accepted the offer.

With a slight smile on his face he replied Aiden's congratulations "Yes, thank you sir".

With a response that seemed ordinary from Rumi made Aiden confused to continue the topic. The awkward atmosphere made the office man again speak "Sorry if on the field earlier I did not have time to announce it".

"It's okay sir. If you can, will you keep it a secret that I am the one who got the scholarship for the future?" Her request. Rumi is afraid that she will become the object of envy, admiration, and hatred of the school residents.

"Alright, if that's what you want".

"Thank you, sir".

Aiden's room is empty again, Rumi has returned to her class. Aiden had a cold face as before. "I smiled too much" he held the stiff end of his lips.

Staring at the door that Rumi had just used to exit the room "Hehe. Interesting" He narrowed his eyes, grinning.

"Luckily, I'm good at memorizing roads. So I don't have to get lost" Rumi walked to her class. He felt that there was some awkwardness here, why did the corridor feel so quiet?. He had not heard the bell since, so what was the reason the rooms and hallways of the school were so quiet?.
