Inside the principalâs office
The principal rose from his chair with a smile. "How are you, son? Hope you have a good day ahead?"
Rohit shook his hand but stayed silent.
The principalâs eyes flicked to Balwinder, then back to Rohitâs bruised face. Realization dawned. "Ah, right. The injury. My bad, son. Must be painful to lose your memory at such a crucial time."
Rohit almost laughed at the irony. Everyone knew what had happened to him, yet no one seemed to acknowledge his so-called "memory loss." Even if it was fake, it showed his real standing hereâno one took him seriously.
The principal sighed. "Iâve spoken with Mrs. Singhania. Sheâs been generous with her donations. Thanks to her, I can help with your attendance issue. But the biometric system records entry before and after lunch. Once your presence is logged, youâre free to come and go. The software lets us edit, but not add entries."
"So I just need to punch in and out before and after lunch?" Rohit clarified.
"Yes," the principal nodded, "but the timer still applies. Youâll have to attend atleast a class for the required duration, otherwise it wonât register."
Rohit recalled the systemâs rulesâit was designed to stop proxies, logging attendance only if the full class duration of that specified subject was completed.
The principal then ran through a few dos and donâts, adding that the school couldnât influence marks for practicals or external exams. Rohit agreed.
Just then, the principalâs phone rang. He stepped out to answer it.
Rohit noticed the CCTV camera in the corner and smirked. Moving to the principalâs chair, he pretended to take a call while eyeing the desk. Two screens: one for the desktop, one showing internal and external camera feeds.
There was a risk of being recorded, but what could be worse when he was already loaded?
Dropping the act, he sat down and took control of the screens. The principal had walked far outside, even lighting a cigarette as he spoke.
Balwinderâs eyebrows lifted, but instead of questioning, he stepped out to stand guard. Rohit nodded in appreciation and turned to the computer.
The desktop was already unlocked. He navigated to the CCTV footage folderâinternal recordings for the past 45 minutes were missing, only external timestamps remained. The internal camera was not saving the feeds, settings must have turned off.
He quickly navigated through the drives and folders, scanning for anything worth checking. Then, his eyes caught the school management software running quietly in the background.
Opening it, he found a complete set of profile information. Spotting the matching icon on the desktop, he right-clicked it, selected "Find Location," and jumped straight to the directory.
There, he dug into the metadata and smiledâthis was a goldmine. The folder contained every kind of document imaginable about everyone in the school, a true treasury of data.
But his time was limited, and he had specific targets. He searched for the phone book records and located the document. It was neatly organized, divided into wings.
He switched to incognito mode, logged into his email and cloud storage, and uploaded the XLSX files for the D Wing and C Wing. The transfer was quick, but his cloud space was limitedâand he had no intention of logging in with his past identity.
Satisfied with the data he had, he shifted his focus. If the principal had recordings or videos, they could be even more valuable.
Opening the browser in the usual way was an option, but it would leave a trace, and he wasnât sure heâd have time to wipe it clean. Instead, he navigated to the âRecentâ folder and scanned for video files. Most had been deleted, but one remainedâthe latest.
He opened itâit was from Karishma. It was the same video of her with his friend Akhil. Her body moved rhythmically,with her melons on full display, as she rode her plump ass on his face. In return, he was serviced as she moved over him from behind, using his shaft almost like a toy.
However, he could see that her undergarments had not been removed, so it was hard to tell from the camera angle whether there was any real insertion. All he could assume was that the phone camera had been placed beforehand by mistake or some other motive, and it was simply their rotten luck to have been filmed in that unnatural frame.
Yet, the video quality was top-notch, but he didnât have time to enjoy it as he noticed the principal crushing the remaining cigarette under his boot on other screen.
He quickly began retracing his steps, restoring everything to its original format.
"Urgh! Urgh!"
Just as he finished, his guard, Balwinder, cleared his throat. Rohit instantly took his hands off and held the phone in front of him as if he were just taking a selfie.
At that exact moment, the principal walked in and raised an eyebrow.
Startled, Rohit put on a fake look of panic and stood up.
The principal scolded, "I was out for a minute, and youâve already captured my chair. Are you trying to make me resign?"
He had braced himself for a harsh scolding, but the principal, fortunately in a good mood, let him off with just a light rebuke and a warning.
As he stepped out, Balwinder looked at him and asked, "All good, young master?"
Rohit smirked. "All good."
Half an hour later,
Rohit sat at the second bench in the classroom, bored beyond reason.
When he had first entered, the professor had introduced him as "injured," and from that moment on, everyone had taken turns mocking himâsome directly, others indirectly.
He knew the best way to deal with it was to keep his distance, so heâd chosen an empty bench at the beginning with the group of nerds.
Even though there was peace, there was nothing much to do.
The class was related to computers, teaching the basics of Java, while he was already a master of advanced courses.
In the middle of the session, the professor decided to discuss the practicals and progress.
Rohit was exempt, but he noticed his "team of nerds" sitting in the opposite rowâfriends from less privileged backgrounds, mostly scholarship students or those with minor connections, far from the elite status crowd.
Akhil was the exception, but he was absent for some unknown reason.
His eyes drifted to the class beauty, Shwetaâsomeone his past self had known. Her name, meaning "white," seemed fitting for her fair skin. She stood out like a diamond among pebbles, her striking blue eyes drawing every gaze.

Scientifically speaking, she was a hybridâhalf German, half Indian.
No one knew her fatherâs identity, only that he was Indian.
Her mother worked at the German embassy, which explained her presence here. She carried her motherâs coloring but her fatherâs facial features.
Due to her familyâs diplomatic immunity, details about her background were scarce, and she avoided the topic whenever asked.
However, she too sat far away, and Rohit could only get a few glimpses. Thanks to her, he lost all interest in the other girls nearby.
Then came her turn. The professor asked, "So, Ms. Sweta, tell me what you have prepared for the project."
She confidently presented her idea for a womenâs safety app. Its main feature: allowing a woman to tag five trusted contacts and share her live GPS location in emergencies. Depending on network conditions, the app could send live audio or video to deter threats. She even planned for plugin integration with government apps to automatically alert the nearest police station.
It was a solid idea, but the professor began pointing out its flaws. Soon, however, his feedback took a sour turn.
He joked about "practicality," shifting the conversation toward blaming womenâmocking short clothing as an "invitation" to men and suggesting women "dress properly" to avoid trouble.
Shweta, offended, calmly countered that assault was unrelated to clothing and stemmed instead from a lack of deterrence.
That only made her the professorâs next target.
He called her naive, even taking a subtle dig at her absent father and implying things about her motherâs character.
The class erupted in laughter. Even the girls who envied her beauty joined in. Shweta was on the verge of tears.
Rohitâs patience snapped. He had already been tolerating the manâs poor teaching, but this was outright injusticeâcrushing a valid argument with authority instead of reason.
He pulled out his phone, did a quick search, and raised his hand.
The professor, expecting something trivial, allowed him to speak. But instead, Rohitâs question silenced the room:
"Sir, in countries like Pakistan, Iran, or Afghanistan, women are always fully covered under Sharia law. So why do these countries still have some of the highest recorded r*pe cases?"
Everyone looked at him as if he were a ghost.
The professorâs face darkened.
He had options to counter argue with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but that would have proven Shwetaâs point even more strongly, as those nationsâ strict laws kept such crimes lower.
This question was a direct challenge to his authority.
Trying to regain control, the professor mocked, "You must have lost your mind after that head injury."
Rohit didnât flinch. "Sir, are you misdirecting the class because you donât have an answer?"
The professorâs anger deepened. "You think you know better than me? Fineâtell us: what is r*pe, and why do people lust, despite knowing itâs wrong?"
It was a trap, designed to make Rohit stumble into saying something offensive or making a remark directed toward the "women".
But Rohit stayed unflinching, avoiding any gender-specific response.
"When someone forces themselves on another gender without their consent, it is called r*pe.
People feel lust because it is a primal feelingâthe urge to reproduce makes people desire each other.
When desire crosses a certain limit and becomes obsession, it is called lust. Thatâs why, Professor, people indulge in lust despite knowing itâs wrong!"
The class erupted in cheers.
A few students even clapped. His last line hit like a heroâs moment, winning him instant admirationâexcept from the professor, who clenched his teeth and shouted for silence.
"Shut up! Shut up!" he yelled, but the lunch bell rang, drowning him out.
Before leaving, he shot Rohit a death glare.
Someone in the back shouted, "BewareâGandhiâs turned into a sex guru!"
The class laughed and teased, while Rohitâs friends swarmed him with praise.
Through it all, his attention remained on Shweta. She was smiling faintly while talking to her friends. Then their eyes met, and she quickly looked away, blushing.
That was the first spark of her interest in him.
Rohit muttered under his breath, "Thank you, professor."
