Yang Dao watched the professor entering the class as he put down the phone and a normal day in the Dao Child's life began. The teacher stood over the pedestal and said, "It has been six months since you all have come to the college. The time to check your progress is also around the corner. The curriculum has been finished so now you can come up with any doubts you have till next week." 

His words surprised Yang Dao. He quickly wrote on a slip of paper and asked Kiya, "Class rep, what is the professor talking about?" passing the chit.

Kiya glanced at the chit and almost did not yell, but her wide eyes were enough to tell him about the surprise she was going through right now. She wrote down on the back of the chit, "We have semestral exams next week, President Feng. -_-" she even add the little emote in the end to express her exasperation. 

Yang Dao took back the chit and after learning the answer, he scratched the back of his head. He forgot about examinations as he was indulged in his life. He nodded and opened her book to read the content. He was not worried about the exams, but as a diligent student, he was eager for it. 

The class went on and everyone was indulged in reading. The professor scanned the crowd with his gaze and found that the students were all sincere. He nodded in satisfaction. Even the young masters of the rich families were sincerely reading. This showed why this class was called the elite class. 

In the back of the classroom, a guy raised his hand and asked, "Professor, is it possible for a person to control their subconscious impulsive actions?" 

The professor said, "Theoretically, yes, but the subconscious actions are a representation of a person's real self. So it is not proven whether a person can control that or not. However, if someone can do it, then he/she will be a person ruling over the world. The sky would be the limit." 

The student nodded and sat down to read the book again. The class was about psychology. The professor suddenly asked, "Student Dao." 

Yang Dao stood up from his chair and replied respectfully, "Yes professor?" 

"What do you think about the question your classmate mentioned just now?" asked the old professor.

Yang Dao thought for a bit and said, "There have been people who could manipulate their subconscious actions to an extent, but definite control is not possible. These people have trained themselves over time to achieve such a feat. An example is professional poker players. They can win a lot of money. Yet they still lose sometimes. That is because some of the subconscious actions are not noticed by them and had become a part of their being. They can not suppress it. 

A similar situation is often seen with Algorithm drivers. They control their fear of fast speed and train their reflexes but they develop some particular actions. For example, Mika has a habit of drafting behind the leaders whenever she is getting out of a turn. This is her subconscious reaction and she may be able to control it over time if she notices it. 

If someone can control their subconscious completely, then they can be anyone at any moment and we will only think that the person is being serious." 

The old professor nodded and said, "Well said. Carry on with the reading." just as his words dropped, the class ended. The next class was on computer operations but Yang Dao was exempted from attending the class. 

He was also slightly worried about getting close to Professor Kylie Dew. Icarus came to his side and said, "You need to get to the class today. Professor Kylie will be talking about machine learning." 

Yang Dao wanted to refuse, but he nodded under the insistence of his friend. Kiya also followed them. Icarus asked, "Class rep, are you going in the wrong direction?" 

Kiya shook her pink head and said, "I have taken up computer operations as my additional subject. I need to have some basic knowledge. Why do you ask?" 

She had a pinkish glow on her face reflecting from her hair all the time, but at this moment it was obvious that she was blushing. Her eyes fell on Yang Dao. This was her subconscious reaction. Icarus understood that the girl was joining the class because of Yang Dao. However, just when his brain was about to be flooded with thoughts of teasing the girl, he was shot down by a pair of eyes that could kill him.

Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Icarus turned away to avoid Kiya's death stare. They reached the classroom and just as they entered, they found that the professor was sitting on the pedestal. Usually, the beauty teacher would have a faint smile on her face, but at this moment she was distracted and had faint dark circles under her eyes. 

Yang Dao and the rest slowly filled their chairs, and the bell rang. The bell seemed to wake up Kylie Dew from her thoughts and she put on a professional smile on her face. She took a roll call, and she started directly from Kiya and the rest. 

At the end of the roll call she heard a warm voice, "Professor, you did not call my name." 

Kylie Dew shivered slightly and raised her eyes from the register to look at the source of the voice. She saw Yang Dao standing in front of her with a plain expression on her face. She pinched her cheek, and said, "Ouch, so The Yang Dao came to class?" 

The whole could not hold back and they all burst into laughter. Yang Dao scratched the back of his head to show his embarrassment. Kylie Dew smiled and said, "So, Dao, what wind blew you here?" she smirked. 

Yang Dao for a change said, "Your beauty attracted me to the class professor. I have noticed that I have not appreciated your grace for a long time." 

The class was stunned to see this shy guy flirting. Everyone knew about him being shy. Kylie Dew was stunned as well, and she said, after regaining her composure, "Someone has grown to be cheeky."
