Enjoy!
Tadashi geniusness had kicked in and it was beautiful to behold.
[Tadashi Starlight Lv 11]
[Tadashi Starlight Lv 12]
[Tadashi Starlight Lv 13]
And this was all in a single day.
Words can not describe how proud he was as he recalled the long journey it had been to get here.
He recalled the sleepless nights, the tears, the patients.
And of course he supplied Tadashi with anything he needed.
The cost of each part was balanced out by the rewards for completing the quest.
While he called in a Beverly Hills martial expert to teach Tadashi some moves.
It was about time Tadashi learned to defend himself and learned the vaule of a dollar.
He took Tadashi down to the nearby homeless shelter with bags filled with 10 dollars sweaters and he and the child began to give them out to people.
The look on Tadashi face when he realised people were genuinely thanking him from the bottom of their hearts for a 10 dollars sweater would never leave him for the rest of his life.
To people and families who are forced to spend their life on the streets, a sweater was the difference between life and death when Winter came.
To see that kind of world where fifty bucks that he would spend on just a headband would keep a family fed for a month was mind-blowing to Tadashi.
When they came back, Tadashi was ready to give away all his stuff and spend his whole allowance on those people.
However, he stopped him.
"Tadashi, giving them money is only going to help them in the short run" he said. "Money is useless if they don't use it to buy what they truly need. Some of them choose to be Homeless because they want to feed on Sympathy. Some of them fake it when in reality they live in big houses and have luxurious cars. At least half of what you give them will be spent on drugs and alcohol. You never know who will truly needs help or who wants to leech off of you. If you want to help them give them clothes and food, not money. You can tell immediantly who truly needs help and who just sees you as a Piggy bank from their reaction"
Before he said. "Your father works hard to give you an amazing life. It would be very sad if you give a little bit of that life to people who don't deserve it. If you really want to help, volunteer at a homeless shelter or be somebody secret santa next Christmas"
And Tadashi did, the boy volunteered at the homeless shelter every week.
Nothing built more character than knowing how privilaged you are and helping others.
Maddox was so happy to see Tadashi wasn't growing into a spoiled brat and didn't have a long list for his 11th birthday.
And than it happened.
Tadashi had finished his first invention.
He came in and saw it was a Teddy bear.
Tadashi, took out a remote control and to his shock, the bear came alive and than jumped, out popped roller skates.
The bear jumped and landed in the hallway and began to skate around the house.
So many wide eyes, so much shock, so much pride.
Maddox looked to see the bears view point on Tadashi remote.
Tadashi pressed a button and it transformed, wings popped out and the bear began hovering before flying through the house.
Maddox couldn't stop hugging and kissing Tadashi when the bear returned and the child face was red.
"This is amazing. Your amazing!" he said, "As expected of my son."
And than Maddox excitedly called the Goverment to allow Tadashi to take the Genius test.
Tadashi had never seen his dad so happy when a woman he had never seen before was taken to a room with him and he was shown a picture.
"I want you to pick out what is wrong with this picture" said the woman. "Take your time" and than she clicked the timer not expecting much.
Many parents called every day believing their child was a so called genius, but most of the time the worker ended up fleeing from screaming parents in denial.
And the moment Tadashi heard that click he said. "The window shield is broken, the deer warning sign doesn't look right, the driver is wearing a transparent glove on his right hand for no reason. The Car shadow is going the wrong way, and the watch wouldn't say 12 o'clock if he's looking at a sunset"
The woman stopped the clock with her mouth opened before she turned to the clock.
"Can I go back to drawing blueprints now?" He said.
Indeed he could.
The media came fast when a genius child was discovered and they found out about his background.
What should have been the glory of the child's Aunt was now the glory of Maddox, a complete stranger.
"How did you feel when you heard he had the IQ of 165?" Said the pretty news reporter.
"Nothing but pride. I know my child was brilliant. I just had to believe in him" said Maddox. "And he's been making me so proud ever since. Me and him have been taking each day, one step at a time."
Before he said. "Tadashi show the newlady your bear"
And Tadashi got his remote control and flying out of the room was the bear that took him months to make.
The woman mouth opened and the camera man pointed to the adorable bear that was now professionally skating without any lag in movement around them.
It finished a twirl.
"I love you" it said in the cutest voice.
"Oh, my. It's adorable" said the new woman knowing the ratings.
"I wanted to make something cute that I can snuggle with and have cookies." Said Tadashi before he pressed a button.
The belly light up and out came a tray of freshly made cookies.
Maddox knew Tadashi has tweaked it.
"Can I have one?" Said the woman.
"Go ahead" he said, and she took one.
She tried it and her face was bliss.
"Delicious" she said. "I'm sure you don't mind if we take the cookies for the ride back?"
"I don't mind" said Tadashi.
"And do you plan to sell this bear one day?" Said the woman.
"I'll give it away to somebody who needs it" said Tadashi, stunning both them. "I already have the life I want thanks to my dad. Why would I need more money?"
And Maddox smiled.
"We'll, I wish I had a son like you" said the woman. "Tadashi Starlight, I think I speak for the world, that we can not wait to see what you do in the coming future"
And than they walked out.
A government worker came to hand Tadashi his certificate and suddenly Maddox found himself discussing funding with a goverment official.
It was all happening so fast.
Tadashi reclaimed his genius spot at the age of 11 but with a different goverment and last name.
And boy did the opportunitys start coming in, people wanted the child to fly out and do talks, they wanted him on TV, they wanted to sponsor him, they wanted to pay to just shadow him.
Maddox allowed him to do some of those stuff while also reminding himself that Tadashi was still a kid and loved sweets just like any other kid.
So many geniuses get their childhood taken away from them when people find out they were a genius, he was determined not to do that to his child.
And than when Tadashi turned 12, the really smart schools began to send letters and even sent a representative to show up at the door to talk to him.
One of these representives happened to be a man called Robert Callaghan, the moment Tadashi saw this man, he fanboyed hard.
"Wait your THE Robert Callaghan?" Said Tadashi. "The world renowned Robotics scientists?"
"I'm glad you've heard of me" said the man, his hair was graying, before he said. "I'm retired now but im now a professor for San Fransokyo College, the Robotics devision. The school became interested in young Tadashi, when they saw his bear. We saw his potential to truly help people"
He got out brochures from his briefcase, Maddox flipped through one and was just amazed by the large scale of everything and the space he could see.
"All our facilities are top notch and every single teacher is a top quality expert in their field" said the man. "To get in, you can either pay the very hefty tution fee but your career path is limited or you can produce something for the Enrollment day. The school especially likes this day, because we get to see talent from all over the world and everybody gets to have fun"
Before he said. "The school can also provide accomdation for Young Tadashi like a lab. However, the enrollment date is next year July so Tadashi can fly to the school and have a look around"
And from Tadashi eyes, Maddox knew they would come.
And they did.
They flew to San Fransokyo the following month and Maddox was just blown away that a place that looked so crampet, had such an amazing school.
He met teacher after teacher, went from room to room, Tadashi pointed out amazing machine after amazing machine, Tadashi eyes sparkled when he met students who already had their inventions out there.
Everywhere was just so impressive.
However what concerned him was the worship he could see in Tadashi eyes.
From the past he had more than enough experience to know, how easily a person can be exploited if they realise you worship them.
They can take everything from you and use you for freelabour.
When they went into the limosuine, Tadashi blew up in happiness.
"Dad, I need to go to this school! I want to go this school!" He said. "I can not go to this school!"
"Tadashi, calm down and take a breath" he said, and the child did. "I'll allow you to go however you need to understand that even if there your idols, they are just people too. They aren't some supernatural beings or gods. If they ask you to do something that goes against having self respect don't do it. If helping somebody is going to put you in danger, don't do it. Your father heart won't be able to take it, if something happens to you. Your life is precious too"
"...Dad" said Tadashi.
"Just please be cautious. You'll be in a city with complete strangers and we'll only talk on the phone or on holiday break" he said, "You'll been a 13 year old, almost alone in a big city"
"I promise dad. I'll be cautious" he said, and they hugged.
Tadashi decided to Enroll, Maddox did what he could to support Tadashi in his invention.
Which resulted in explosion after explosion happening in the house and a whole lot mansion escaping.
The goverment covered the parts used in the invention while he was left with the bill for the ruined stuff in the house, but Maddox kept it all in due to the fact each failure was a quest.
He wouldn't have been able to keep it together otherwise as he wrote check after check to those replacing or fixing a part of his house.
Tadashi had every right to be sheepish every time he destroyed the house but no ground breaking invention worked on its first test.
Maddox wanted Tadashi to do his inventions outside until Tadashi explained to him that his invention was for indoors.
Which made him sigh.
But after countless test, countless sleepless nights, countless biscuits and Pizzas, a massive birthday party, Tadashi finally got it working, just a few weeks before his Enrollment date.
They booked tickets and flew first class to San Fransokyo.
They entered the enrollment hall and was greeted by Professor Callaghan and Tadashi waited for his turn on that stage.
Maddox watched proudly as Tadashi got out there and he made sure the boy was breathing calmly.
Tadashi coughed and addressed the crowd. "Hi, my name is Tadashi Starlight and I traveled from Beverly Hills USA. A place famous for its celebrities, sunshine and really expensive shopping district. This is why, it's so unusual that I made this"
He took out something from his pocket as many eyes went to the large high-tech looking tube thing in his hands.
"This is a snow machine" he said, and he saw interest go. "However this is no ordinary snowmachine. I promise you that there is no other snow machine like this one in the whole world. Please, allow me to demenstrate"
He pressed the blue botton and placed it on the ground.
Suddenly the very hall began to get colder.
Everybody was shocked when they saw their own breathes in smoke form, than people began to see ice climb up the windows until they were completely covered.
And than it started snowing.
Genuinely snow rained down indoors with no cloud over their heads.
Professors and geniuses were shocked, kids in the crowd squeealed and started touching it.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you the world first indoor snow machine" he said. "It doesn't use a lot of power and all you have to do is give it a single cup of water."
Tadashi allowed the snow to mount and already kids were throwing snowballs at each other.
Tadashi machine truly didn't blast out snow like a regular machine and instead just appeared above you and it was just as cold as you would expect it be.
And yet this came from something you can put inside your pocket.
If somebody had told them, they would see a invention that would make it naturally snow in a fully heated hall, they wouldnt have believed it.
Tadashi turned the machine off and the temperature started to come back.
"The snow will dissappear just like regular snow in a heated place" said Tadashi, before he bowed and said. "Thank you for your time"
And than he walked off and went to recieve a hug from his dad.
Both of them walked out that night, with Tadashi acceptance letter.
The genius that the world forgot just entered into one of the best schools in the world at the tender age of 13.
Not only that but he was the youngest in the schools history.
5 years later, he would meet a young boy named Hiro, at a Hardwear store.
And scene!
