CHAPTER - 109
Dav: (Closing the book) Tomorrow will be the exam.
Anyone who doesn’t score at least 60 won’t be allowed to participate in the tournament and will have to stay here during the summer.
I urge you all to study and focus tonight on everything you've learned since the beginning of the year in your professors' subjects.
If you need help, I suggest you ask your teachers after lunch.
Elysia: (Slumped over her desk, bored) What a pain...
Tonight I’ll have to study hard and make sure I score at least 60...
Fin: (Cheerful) Don’t get discouraged so quickly! If we study, we’ll all pass the exam tomorrow!
Leo: (Looking at the two) Exactly. We’ll study all night and pass together.
Gabriel: (Leaning on his desk) If we fail, no tournament, and that would make my brother look bad as a professor...
I can't allow that!
Cedric: (Smiling) Let’s do it for him, not just for the tournament.
Arthur: (Next to Leo) Tonight, can I study with you and Fin?
There are still some things I need to understand...
I arrived at the academy a bit late.
[Fin pats Arthur on the shoulder.]
Fin: (Grinning) No problem, my friend!
Arthur: (Smiling to himself) "Friend"? That sounds nice...
(Bowing his head) Thank you very much.
Leo: (Trying to lift Arthur back up) You don’t have to do that every time!
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Leona: (Looking at Elysia) I suppose we’ll do the same, right?
Elysia: (Tsundere mode) If I have to...
Leona: (Annoyed, arms crossed, making a funny face) Has anyone ever told you that you’re irritating?!
Elysia: (Annoyed, arms crossed, making a funny face) No, because everyone adores me, unlike you!
Lucas: (Sighing) Here they go again...
Cedric: (Speaking to Lucas) Us too, right?
Lucas: (Smiling) Help is important.
[Dav watches them with a funny expression.]
Dav: (Yelling) Brats! Move your asses and go to lunch!
Rafael: (Sipping his wine) Tomorrow our kids will have their exam, huh?
Kael: (Chewing) They’ll have to work hard if they want to participate in the tournament.
Director: (Looking at Dav) You should give them a reward to boost their motivation to pass the exam, don’t you think?
Dav: (Chewing) I already thought about that. If they all pass tomorrow, I’ll take them to the mall and treat them to food, sweets, and a movie. If they don’t, they’ll get double the training the next day.
[The students, both happy and nervous, eat in silence.]
Eldrin: (Stroking his beard) Who will you take with you besides the kids?
[Valeria crosses her leg over Dav’s.]
Dav: (Grabbing some bread from the table) Iris, Valeria, Selene, and Lucrezia, of course.
I promised something to one of them, haha.
Rafael: (Dramatic) And me?! Have you already forgotten our love so quickly?!
Dav: (Chuckling) And Rafael too, obviously.
Rafael: (Grinning, looking at Valeria) Eh eh eh...
Valeria: (Glaring at him, thinking) As if all these women weren’t enough, now even him?!
[Iris places Dav’s right hand on her lap.]
Iris: (Looking at him with a funny expression) We’ll have ice cream, YEE!
Director: (Resting his elbow on the table) I heard a woman came to help you with something in the arena yesterday.
I hope she gave you what you were looking for.
Valeria: (Thinking, irritated) Exactly, always another woman! Stupid, stupid!
Iris: (Thinking, squeezing Dav’s hand) I really want to hit you, but we’re at lunch...
Selene: (Noticing Dav’s trembling face) Uh!?
Dav: (Stammering) Y-Yeah... My sister came to help me with something in the arena...
She’ll be back tomorrow if you’d like to meet her.
[Iris and Valeria freeze.]
Iris: (Embarrassed by her jealousy, thinking) Sorry, Davy!...
(Caressing his hand, thinking) Sorry! SORRY!
Valeria: (Arms crossed, looking away) Pff...
(Thinking, with a small smile) Your fault, idiot! You didn’t tell us your sister was coming to the academy...
[Valeria's leg presses even tighter against Dav’s.]
Dav: (Smirking) However, Mr. "Vittorio"... Kael seemed to get along very well with her and laughed quite often.
Evelyn: (Bending her fork, looking at Kael) I didn’t know you were so fond of laughter and good humor.
I see.
Kael: (Sweating, looking at Dav) A... A nice girl...
(Thinking, looking at Dav) WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TELL HER?!
Dav: (Thinking, locking eyes with Kael) Sorry, buddy, it was a matter of life or death.
(Smirking) Good luck.
Evelyn: (Standing up suddenly) I’m going to tidy up my classroom, see you later, gentlemen.
(Looking at Kael with a cold stare) Pff...
Eldrin: (Whispering to the director) Things are getting interesting, old friend!
Director: (Quietly) True, true! AHAHA!
