Kumar after getting the Medal went back home with Pride of their Parents oozing out of them. Perumal's partner Kamalan who is also biggest shareholder in the Factory, after learning about Kumar's achievements wanted to celebrate. Kumar had mixed feelings about Kamalan as he was the one who saved his father in many occasions by helping financially in his fathers Spine Surgery and two leg surgery.
On the other hand he is also the one at the end took away the factory from his father, after giving the false hope of giving the factory back to him. Kumar might not know full details, so he can't judge what is wrong or right, as much as that he is at present their best well wisher. So Kamalan along with his family, his wife and daughter Shreya who is studying 1st Grade two years younger than Kumar.
Shreya the little girl looked at Kumar as if she will chew him up and spit out like bubble gum. Her eyes full of anger and jelousy. Kumar had never recieved this stare from Shreya back then. All he knew is that he is the one who gave other kids that stare. Despite the charm and charisma. Shreya hated him, must have been their parents talked great about him and compared her with him.
Kamalan " What Kumaran, you have got first Rank, got scholorship and also Gold Medal with National Record in Sprint. " By tomorrow this may be even present in the newspaper. Good, very Good, now tell Uncle what do you want from Uncle " as he spoke Shreya was even mad.
Kumar sighed and then outwardly said with smile said " Uncle I want books, books about Accounts, Management, Engineering and Medicine. I want to learn different discipline to select my Life career. " Kamalan and others were shocked by a kid saying that he is deciding his future Career.
Kamalan " Then have you completed your School Books!? " Kumar took a gamble, he knew that Kamalan is a monster that spits no bones in Business, he is the best friend a person could ask for, but in business there is no friend only interest. If he plays his cards right, he could take things to a level where he could use his resources but escape from his clutches.
Kumar " Yes Uncle, I have already completed till 12th Grade. I have also completed physics, chemistry, biology, Commerce, mathametics, Computer Science, Business Mathametics. " Kamalan was shocked beyond belief so as his wife. Even Perumal did not knew about it, all he knew is that his son likes to read books.
Kamalan " Do you understand those books, Kumar!?" Unlike normal people Kamalan did not take it as Kumar's bragging. He may not be able to test it. But he knew that a boy who could score full marks must have some crediblity. Kumar " Ofcourse!!!! Let me say for example Chemistry about Chemical Equilibrium… "
Like that he explained many of the subjects, after a while. Kumar explained " I have studied my Father's metallurgy book too. I can even draw the Iron Carbide Diagram and how different elements helps in change of Properties in Alloys. lets say for stainless steel the important element is Chromium as at the minimum of 10.5% which improves corrosion resistance….." this time as explaining Kamalan was impressed beyond imagination.
These are not the words of 7 year old Kid, it is the words of people who worked at the least in industry for 5 years. As Kumar did had experience of 8 years in the Industry as he ran his father's business and handled numerous issues. The Celebration has turned to QA session.
Even at the time he decided to impress Kamalan, he used his Quest Maker to make Quest.
Quest 15: Impress Kamalan with knowledge.
Reward: Kamalan favaroublity improvement, Investment in Your Ideas.
Failiure: Kamalan favouriblity decreases, Perumal would be less favoured and outlined in Factory.
He completed the quest and he made a great impression, Kamalan " Perumal Sir, you should have his IQ checked. Your son studying third Grade is really a waste of time. Discuss with the School Management about his situation, they themselves would give us some ways and we would see how to proceed. "
Kamalan said seriously to Perumal, where Perumal with pride and seriousness said " Yes Sir, I will speak to them. " Eshwari felt that she felt her heart fulfilled already. Kamalan's wife Sweatha " Eshwari, it seems we may have a great proffesional in your Family. " she smiled at them. Eshwari looked proud. They saw Shreya who dozed off tired and bored by topic discussed at table.
Sweatha felt little frustrated but she knew Kumar is anomaly and she should bot compare him to her daughter. Kamalan " Now as promised, you will get all the books that you have asked from your father within a week. We will talk later. " then they went to home.
The following day, both Perumal and Eshwari went as family to meet the Principal of the School. They explained all of it to the Principal, Principal was shocked, he called out to all the Staffs, they conducted a simple Oral Exam and Kumar answered all the Questions with ease and gave his own understanding and explanation making even the teachers amazed as it felt like they are talking subject with the experienced teacher who lives and breathes subject.
Principal " So Teachers, what is the assesment that you are going to give, is their parents words true " he asked in a seperate Staff Meeting. Physics HOD looked straight and said " That boy is really have a remarkable IQ and understanding. He may be what some may call a human computer. It is a waste of talent to let him study like normal students. "
Biology HOD " It is the same for his knowledge, he had mastered all the books syllabus for the three Groups in our school and even learned Business Mathematics. Only thing he doesn't know or to be exact tried is his Practical Class in Lab. "
Principal " The Boy wants to learn but do not want to leave school and join college. He himself knew that if he joined college he would be more than odd one out. But as you all have said, wasting his talent is also not an option. According to Jacob he is also the best athlete who broke the national record. So lets do this, he can learn anything he wants any form of Coaching that he needs, Science Projects, Competitions, Arts. Let him explore what he wants. "
Principal has already decided and he knew that the Chairman would agree with it, Every Competion that Kumar wins would inevitably bring the School Glory. So he decided to utilise his Value to the fullest. As Kumar had become so famous all over Tamil Nadu, it is one of a Kind News where National Record Beaten by a 7 year old Kid. Kumar refused the interview for press as it is too much hassle
