With that, the two then left the classroom.
“I thought you were here for a vacation. Please tell me, why are you doing at this university? ”
“To get an education of course. Actually, I have to ask you that question. What are you doing here?" answer Gerald.
Although they don't hold much grudge against each other, Warren doesn't particularly like being near Gerald, and the same goes for the opposite.
“Because we've talked about it, I'll explain everything to you now. For starters, I'm not the only one here. Maia and a few others came with me. I'm not able to tell you what exactly we're doing here, but if you know what's best for you, it's best to keep your mouth shut when it comes to us. Our identity must not be disclosed under any circumstances! This is my first and last warning, so you better remember that!”
After he finished with his explanation, Warren then turned around before walking away from Gerald.
'Maybe they're here on a mission? It's not that I really care, ' Gerald thought to himself while laughing bitterly while shaking his head.
Just as he was about to return to class, he felt a tug up his sleeve. As she turned to look, Gerald noticed a girl who looked rather shy, gently holding onto her sleeve. Despite his embarrassment, he held it very tightly.
“H-hey, handsome! We are collecting donations for charity! Regardless of how much you contribute, we will not complain! We are only trying to help children in the countryside who cannot afford to pay for their education!”
Seeing that he was volunteering for an unselfish cause, Gerald felt uneasy even thinking of rejecting him. What's more, he was clearly struggling against his embarrassment just to raise more funds for charity.
Nor will the money be spent in vain. Similar to Scothow Elementary, the school he built himself, his money would be used for a good cause.
Convinced that donating would be the right thing to do, he then nodded at the girl's excitement.
"W-how much do you want to contribute?" ask the shy girl.
At that moment, several other girls who were also working as volunteers started to swarm in. They had noticed that one of them had managed to get someone to donate, so they all had bright smiles on their faces.
“Hmm... Come away with fifty thousand dollars!” gerald replied while chuckling.
“... A-what? Fifty thousand?"
All the girls were equally surprised by his response.
Donation campaigns like this are common in most universities. They are usually aimed at helping poor students living in the countryside.
Such campaigns tend to get little support, and most students from these universities are also willing to take part in donating for a good cause.
While this is true, most students will only be willing to donate a few dollars, the general trend is less than a hundred dollars per donation. Not because they complain. After all, it was a thought that counted.
However, to think that they are now given a donation of fifty thousand dollars …
“M-Master! Are you really serious about donating fifty thousand dollars?”
The girls could hardly believe their ears.
Gerald only laughed in response as he pulled out his credit card, ready to make his donation.
As soon as they gave him the transaction machine, Gerald began to press the button without the slightest hesitation.
"The receipt for the transaction is five hundred thousand dollars!" announce the machine with a robot voice.
"…Huh?"
The jaws of all the girls are now wide open.
"Omong empty!" gerald said, as surprised as it was.
Since he was feeling more generous lately, he really wanted to donate the fifty thousand dollars he had promised. He would never have dreamed that he would accidentally push an extra zero on the transaction machine! This is a mistake in his name!
He blamed his constant obsession towards Jasmine lately.
Even though he didn't bother much about the mistake, he still needed to keep a low profile at the university.
“S-Master, looks like you made a mistake! I will immediately make the necessary arrangements! We will refund the extra amount to your account as soon as possible! Could you be free this afternoon? We have to go to the main office to handle this because they need your signature to approve the refund!” apologized to one of the volunteers.
“...Ah, it will be troublesome! You know what, just take it! Five hundred thousand of it!” gerald said while shaking his head. After all, there was not much difference between five hundred thousand and fifty thousand dollars to him. It's just a single digit!
The volunteers were stunned speechless by his extreme acts of generosity.
Gerald then went on to record his majors and classes. As he was about to write down Marven's name, he saw a group of people walking towards him with cameras and voice recorders in hand. They seem like some kind of reporter.
They must have come here after hearing how much he donated to charity! Their sudden appearance shocked him so much that he accidentally dropped the pen he was holding.
“Hold! I'm fine with donating as long as you abide by one rule! I want to remain anonymous! ” Gerald said before instantly escaping.
“I understand! But even if we don't announce it, can we still have your name?” ask a confused volunteer when he sees the man running away.
Gerald simply waved his hand without looking back before disappearing into another corridor.
