Professor Sebastian Jones - Is It Love? Fan-fiction by SW

Chapter 44 - In the Principal's office

Sebastian enters the amphitheater, climbs the platform, sets his materials on his desk and seeks for me. His gaze meets mine, and it glows radiantly. He's in an excellent humor today, and I believe I'm the reason for it.

Sebastian: Hello, everyone! Let's continue our course talking about vampires. Last week, we defined what they are and from when came the first reports of the myth. Today, we're going to study a very weird theory of a non-mythologist.

Sebastian turns to the huge whiteboard to draw some timelines and a lot of numbers and mathematical formulas. All students are curious to know what he's doing, as we aren't attending a Math course. He seems very entertained in his task of writing down all these numbers and letters. When Sebastian finishes, he turns back to face us with that characteristic nonchalant ironic air. He seems to be having too much fun today!

Sebastian: There is one quite recent study, from a physics professor, that says that it's mathematically impossible for vampires to exist. Well, as all people from the Exacts Sciences, he doesn't believe in God... I mean, in myths.

Laugh springs all around. Sebastian is in his best today! He's extra charming, playful, wild, and bewitching. I can see how it's unleashing the hormones of his groupies in the first rows and I'm getting a little bit jealous, although I know I'm his mistress.

"No one will pet my wolf!"

Sebastian: This professor based his argument on simple geometric progression. His logic is simplistic and doesn't considerate essential aspects of the myth of vampires. His theory isn't based on studies in the Myths & Legends field, and they're only mere assumptions. According to his line of argument, if the first vampire had appeared only on 1st January of the year of 1600 of our Era, when the human population was estimated at a little lesser than 600 million, and if a vampire bit once a month, transforming all victims, everyone would be vampires in just two and a half years(1).

All the students are amazed by this information. I'm sure Sebastian will checkmate and mock this theory with his vast knowledge about the theme, because, of course, vampires do exist!

Sebastian: Now, let's see what this study didn't take into consideration regarding the myth of vampires.

Sebastian turns again to the huge whiteboard to write the topics that the article failed to observe. Sarah is amused with the theme of today's class, and also with the way Sebastian is teaching with more enthusiasm and passion than the usual. Sarah bends forward me and whispers in my ear mockingly.

Sarah: He has an extra glow today, huh?

I sigh a little bit annoyed.

Khawla: I know. I can see all the girls on the first rows drooling into him.

Sarah: You're jealous!

And Sarah burst into laughter.

Khawla: Shush! I don't want to receive another scold.

Sarah becomes quiet fast, remembering the last time Professor Jones gets us chit-chatting during his class. Although I'm sure Sebastian heard us, this time, he let it go, perhaps glad to know that I'm feeling jealous.

Sebastian finishes writing down the topics that he'll go into now and turns to face us again.

Sebastian: First point to observe is, as per all stories and tales involving vampires in all mythologies and folklores, they feed themselves more than just once a month. We should assume that, in general, they feed, at least, once a day, and they can feed on the same victim more than once.
