Chapter 17: The Treatment of a Celebrity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Bluefields College was bustling with activities.

In the corridors of the college, on the roads, on the playground, in the classrooms, and so on, people were talking about the same hot news on the Internet.

Other than the water ghost incident that caused a huge commotion recently, what else was there!

“Hey! Have you heard? There’s a terrible incident in Gro City. It’s said that dozens of people have met an accident in the water and are still missing. I think they were probably eaten by the monsters in the water.”

“The news says that it’s the water ghost’s doing!”

“This is too scary. Whenever I see water, I feel an inexplicable sense of fear. It’s like there’s a pair of eyes staring at me in the water!”

“Mark, is this why you haven’t taken a bath for the past few days?”

Hahaha…

Mark silently cursed in his heart. ‘Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to bathe. It’s just that I’m lazy. It doesn’t have anything to do with water ghosts!’

Amidst the laughter, the student named Mark lowered his head in embarrassment.

At this moment, someone continued to discuss.

“Oh my goodness, do you think there are really water ghosts in this world?”

“There are all kinds of strange things in this world. Even aliens exist. It’s not strange for water ghosts to exist.”

When Mark heard this, he pretended to agree mysteriously. “That’s right, that’s right. The relevant departments and television stations have long confirmed its existence. It’s said that they even sent out Special Department to deal with it. What a pity…”

What was a pity? Could it be that this guy knew something behind the scenes?!

Upon hearing this, everyone cast curious gazes over.

Mark did not go straight to the point. Instead, he mumbled and rubbed his flat stomach.

“Aiya! I came in such a hurry that I haven’t had breakfast today. My stomach is empty and I can’t remember anything!”

“What a coincidence. I bought an extra serving today. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to finish it.”

Mark gladly accepted the gifts from his classmates. As he ate, he spoke in a low voice.

“My aunt’s son has a friend in the army. I heard about this from him.”

“It’s said that the Special Department had arranged for someone to kill the water ghost, but the strange thing is that before they could find the location of the water ghost, the water ghost was destroyed by a young hero named Brian. He even rescued more than ten people who were captured by the water ghost. There’s a picture of the truth!”

The image of Brian saving someone by the river appeared on the screen.

…

What? The water ghost had been taken by someone else, and the other party was a youth?

When they heard this, everyone broke out into a flurry of discussion. Some people who had watched the live broadcast and related consultations also stood forward.

A commotion broke out as discussions broke out!

“Are they talking about me?”

A young man wearing a pair of sunglasses walked up to them and stopped in his tracks.

This was going to be interesting!

Just as he stopped, a pair of large hands skillfully climbed onto his shoulders.

“Hey! Brian, my dear friend, you’re now a public figure on campus. How do you feel?”

Jesse’s shout caught everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked at the handsome young man in front of them and felt that he looked familiar. However, they could not tell where they had seen him before.

Of course he looked familiar. He was the protagonist they were talking about!

At this moment, Brian only wanted to say, “Jesse, you can recognize me even with sunglasses on. Your eyes are the best!”

“Haha! It feels… a little sarcastic!”

It was definitely sarcastic, it was a sarcasm not because of Jesse’s sunglasses, but he was completely shocked by Jesse’s timely appearance!

There was no lack of viewers who had seen the live broadcast of the water ghost. Gradually, some people began to recognize this youth. Among them, Mark excitedly pointed at him.

“Oh! Everyone, look! This is my idol, Mr. Brian, who fought the water ghosts bravely.”

Whoosh—

A group of people rushed over excitedly.

Mark’s words were like pushing down the first domino, causing a domino of different reactions.

What should he do now? Of course he had to run!

“Brian! I’m going to your house to watch a movie tonight. Remember to leave the door open for me!” Jesse shouted at the figure that had already run far away.

‘My friend! It’s a waste of your talent to watch a movie. I think you should act with your talented acting skills.’

Brian ran hundreds of meters away, turned around, and made a victory gesture.

However, he had clearly underestimated their enthusiasm.

Oh my god! You guys are still following me!

A strange scene appeared on the campus. A young man was sprinting at a speed of a hundred meters race, followed by a group of students.

Those who did not know better would think that the they were taking part in the marathon!

Brian finally understood why some celebrities had to hire more bodyguards. It was not only for show, but also because they were forced by others to do so.

Oh! Seems like it was not easy to become famous!

Finally, after a lot of effort, Brian finally reached his classroom when the bell rang.

It had to be said that people nowadays were simply too crazy. If it were not for his good skills, he would really be treated as an animal and watched for free.

Keeping a low profile and doing things in a high-profile manner had always been Brian’s motto!

However, after that high-profile live broadcast, it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile.

…

“Jimmy—”

“Here!”

“Vacto ~”

“Here!”

“…”

Currently, it was no longer popular to name names in many colleges, but today’s class was an accident. One would never be able to escape the attendance taking in Luciani’s class!

As the stern voice of Teacher Luciani fell, the students stood up and sat down reluctantly.

“Brian ~”

After Brian’s name rang three times in the classroom, an absent-minded teenager slowly stood up.

“You’re Brian?”

“Yes, the real one! Teacher Luciani!”

He wore so much to hide his identity, was he a celebrity?

Everyone looked curiously at the boy in sunglasses with a strange look in their eyes.

Why did this celebrity’s name sound so familiar?

The brave man who fought the water ghost was also called Brian. Could it be the person in front of them?

“Brian! This is the classroom. Please take off your sunglasses. Immediately!”

Brian readily removed his sunglasses.

‘I didn’t expect to be discovered despite putting in so much effort into hiding. Since that’s the case, I might as well lay my cards on the table and stop pretending.’

‘That’s right! The handsome Brian is me, I am the handsome Brian who did good deeds without leaving my name!’

“It’s really him! Brian!”

“He’s the hero who saved people in the water. Oh! My God, I’m in the same class as hero Brian!”

Although the students in this class were new students and they were not familiar with each other, Brian’s story had spread quickly in the Bluefields College.

“What is it? It’s class time now. Sit back down!”

The voice from the podium suppressed the excitement in the classroom.

Brian exhaled slowly.

The morning sunlight shone into the classroom, as if it was covered with a thin layer of golden gauze, shining brightly.

The audience was not in the mood to listen to the lecture. Instead, they would occasionally cast curious glances at Brian.

Unlike other curious students, Brian, who was sitting at the end of the row, was already in a trance.

Today was a science class.

As an outstanding youth who had transmigrated from the 21st century, Brian had long memorized these scientific concepts.

Brian was not interested in the basic theories in the textbooks at all.
