"Oh my, why is my head so dizzy!" Rosendo stumbled around with a strange gait, looking no different from a drunk person.
"Brother, are you okay? Don't scare me! Waaah..." A girl with delicate features but covered in acne saw Rosendo about to fall and quickly reached out to support him while crying and calling his name.
Not far away, a group of students in school uniforms were laughing at Rosendo. "Richard, you're amazing! You really hit him with the apple." It turned out that this group of students had made a bet on whether Richard could hit Rosendo with an apple or not. As luck would have it, Richard managed to do it.
After a few minutes, Rosendo's head finally cleared up and he was able to see clearly the girl who was supporting him. She had beautiful facial features - clear bright eyes, curved eyebrows that trembled slightly as her long eyelashes fluttered delicately; small exquisite nose and thin lips like rose petals - but her face was completely covered in acne which obscured her beauty.
A gust of wind blew by and Rosendo suddenly realized something odd: why did his laboratory have wind? Looking around he saw lush green lawns dotted with groups of students playing basketball on the court nearby; tall teaching buildings... Wasn't this campus? How did he suddenly end up here?
Vanessa noticed that Rosendo was frowning and looking around for someone. Thinking that he wanted to find the person who threw the apple at him she told him not to bother since they were just some troublemakers from school. Vanessa didn't want Rosendo getting into any trouble so she pulled him along saying sweetly: "brother, let's go!"
But when Vanessa tried pulling him away she found herself unable to move forward because Rosendo wasn't budging either. When she looked back, she saw him staring at her with a strange expression. "brother, are you okay?" Vanessa asked worriedly as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" Rosendo was full of questions. He remembered being in the laboratory studying an energy ball when suddenly it emitted a bright light and he woke up here for no apparent reason. He couldn't understand what had happened.
"Ahh... Brother, don't you remember me?" Vanessa's heart felt like it had been pierced by a sword; they grew up together since childhood - went to elementary school together, middle school together... even attended university together and were always in the same class. They spent every day together but now Rosendo was asking who she was. Vanessa couldn't help but cry.
Seeing Vanessa crying made Rosendo nervous; he wasn't afraid of anything except women's tears. "Hey hey... why are you crying? I didn't bully you or anything! I just wanted to ask you something." Rosendo quickly explained himself while waving his hands frantically.
At that moment Richard and his gang walked over to them. Richard pushed Rosendo on the shoulder arrogantly and laughed: "Rosendo, I can't believe your head is so hard! Even after throwing an apple at such force, nothing happened!"
Vanessa didn't care anymore whether or not Rosendo remembered her; she forcefully pulled him away from Richard's group who enjoyed humiliating others for fun. But they weren't going to let them leave easily - with a wave of Richard's hand several of his henchmen surrounded them both tightly.
"Rosendo, haven't I told you before? Don't you remember?" Richard said with an evil expression on his face. "I'll say it again: every time I see you, I'll hit you once. Today is your unlucky day because I've run into you. Come on! Accept my brutality!"
Although Rosendo was still a bit confused, he wasn't so out of it that he didn't know when someone wanted to beat him up. He was the chief professor of the future century and a top military technology expert who had made significant contributions to the country. Everyone who met him needed to treat him with respect, even the president himself.
But now this male student in front of him actually wanted to teach him a lesson? That wouldn't do! If he didn't fight back, then he wouldn't be known as the crazy professor anymore.
When Richard stopped half a meter away from Rosendo and raised his hand to slap him, he saw Rosendo as a coward who was afraid of trouble. Richard couldn't find any reason for Rosendo to resist, so he didn't have any defenses up.
However, Rosendo was not only a professor but also a soldier. No one in the military could beat him because he relied on his clever mind and studied the source of power and various combat techniques, making him an unbeatable figure. When someone wanted to beat him up now, how could he not fight back?
With his right fist clenched, Rosendo attacked Richard's stomach before jumping into the air with both feet kicking off the ground. He quickly grabbed Richard's head with both hands while driving his right knee towards Richard's forehead with a loud thud sound when it hit its target. These movements were lightning-fast and smooth like flowing water; they were simply amazing.
Richard kept retreating until finally collapsing onto the ground in a daze without any chance to resist.
The whole scene shocked everyone present since Rosendo was known as being weak-willed and cowardly; anyone could bully him easily due to his lack of courage. But now within just one moment, he had knocked down Richard - one of New Mountain City University's notorious gangsters - without giving him any opportunity for retaliation or defenseless resistance.
Rosendo looked at his own hands which were slender and smooth-skinned; they weren't really his hands though since although they were also long-fingered like his own but not nearly as delicate-looking nor as smooth. He could feel himself breathing heavily and his knees were aching, when did his body become so weak?
Rosendo seemed to have realized something; he looked down at his own body which was wearing a school uniform, almost white jeans, and black sneakers - this definitely wasn't him! He had never worn such shabby clothes before nor owned anything that poor-looking. He was certain that this body wasn't his own, but then how did he end up inside it?
