His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042 - Old And New

Cross Academy.

A violent snowstorm was ravaging the huge section of the Swiss Alps that the academy owned. An extreme weather alert ordered everyone at the academy to stay at home. This was quite a regular occurrence in the area especially during the official winter season so nobody panicked even though the storm was extremely dangerous.

Most of the residents stayed at home but there were some people whose duty was to ensure the safety of Cross Academy 24/7 no matter the danger. Some of these loyal, duty-bound individuals included specially selected members of the Computer Department who were in charge of the academy’s surveillance and online security system.

Cross Academy was a powerhouse in its own right with resources comparable to a small developed country. Its economic and diplomatic might was as equally legendary as its reputation for producing the best geniuses among geniuses in the world. Rumour had it that the academy had its own secret military and a stash of advanced weaponry but no definite confirmation or denial had been released as of this moment.

Given its undeniable power and wealth, not to mention the countless secrets it continued to safeguard for more than two centuries since the legendary founder Professor Galaxianne Arria von Cross, it was not surprising that Cross Academy was a tempting target to many who wanted to snatch its immeasurable richness.

A specialized unit of the Computer Department was assigned to defend the academy from any online attacks to the surveillance and online security system, ranging from simple pranks to full-on malicious assaults

Ever since a beloved alumnus of the Computer department named Evelina Vetrova, known in the hacker world as the legendary Fantom, changed the entire system to that of her own design, Cross Academy never suffered any serious breaches ever again.

Even when Evelina had been reported as killed in the bloody Vetrov annihilation years ago, the Computer Department continued to use the system she designed when she was still a student, making improvements as necessary to keep up with the times. It wasn’t because the department head wanted to honour the memory of his favourite student by stubbornly using the system she designed for the academy, although that was also a part of it.

The real reason that they continued using Evelina’s system for that long was because there was no one else who could design a better system than hers. It was as simple as that.

Imagine the department head’s delight when a newly enrolled student appeared and learned that she was a disciple of his late student, making Iris Long his grand-student.

Iris Long was as brilliant and talented with computers as Evelina Vetrova. It didn’t matter that she wasn’t enrolled in the Computer Department. The department head still regarded the young woman as an important honourary member of his Computer Department.

There was a sense of bittersweet nostalgic pride whenever he admired Iris Long’s exploits as the rising star Drakon and compared it to the late Evelina Vetrova’s legendary feats as Fantom.
