CHAPTER - 113
Dinner Time
[Dav heading to the cafeteria]
Dav: (thinking) Where could Iris be?
(looking into the kitchen) Iris, are you there?
Iris: (smiling) Dinner will be ready soon, so you'll have to wait 10-15 minutes.
[Dav gets close to Iris’s face, touching her lips with his finger]
Dav: (licking his finger) You had some cream hidden on your face, ahaha.
Iris: (embarrassed, hitting Dav) Stupid! You could’ve just told me and not laughed!
(crossing her arms, pulling a funny face) I made a little dessert, nothing too majestic...
A tiramisu in glasses, because tomorrow will be an important moment for the students and professors, watching them give their best.
Dav: (small smile) Mama Iris preparing sweets for the professors, how sweet.
[Iris hugged Dav tightly, her face buried deep in his chest]
Iris: (blushing) Stupid.. I added strawberries.
I hope you’ll like it.
Dav: (calm voice) Has there ever been anything you made that I didn’t like?
[Iris giggling into his chest]
Iris: (pinching Dav) Just try not liking it and I’ll kill you!
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Dav: (touching her head) Yes, ma’am.
[Margherita enters]
Margherita: (cheerful) What a lovely couple.
I wonder how beautiful my grandchild will be.
Iris: (face red, still buried in Dav’s chest) I’m just trying to kill him, nothing more!
Margherita: (laughing) You’ll have to try harder then, AHAHA.
Iris: (thinking) A child, huh? cute.
Dav: (gently pulling away from Iris) I’m going to sit down, or the director will feel lonely sitting there all alone.
(kissing Iris on the head) See you later.
Iris: (blowing a raspberry) See you later, stupid!
Narrator:
When Dav sat down at the table, he saw Evelyn pulling on Kael’s cheeks, with him silently begging for mercy just through his expression.
The director was quietly laughing as he watched, while Dav made a silly face and joined his hands like a Buddha to apologize.
Then Valeria arrived, giving him a funny and irritated look—still bitter about the moment ruined when Selene entered his room.
Selene showed up with a smile on her face, followed by Rafael in high spirits, hugging Dav from behind while he, still seated, looked at the others with a goofy expression.
Valeria gave him her sharp, icy glare, while Selene looked at him with wide eyes.
From afar, Iris laughed sweetly watching everything.
Eldrin arrived with his usual line ready for Dav “Ah, love. Such a beautiful thing,” with Rafael laughing and taking his seat.
Once everyone was there, Iris and Margherita began bringing out the dishes and placing them on the table—including a tray of lasagna, not too hot, perfect to eat after a long rest.
Iris and Margherita started arranging the plates and serving.
Valeria filled Dav’s glass halfway with white wine—he preferred it that way.
Iris handed him his plate with a big steaming square of lasagna and some small soft rolls.
Eldrin: (eating) Tomorrow is the big day—the exams.
(looking at Dav) I wonder if they’ll get their reward either way, ahaha.
Dav: (hand on his cheek) That depends on them.
I keep my promises, including the one to make them work even harder if they fail.
Kael: (laughing) I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes right now, ahaha.
Director: (amused, pointing at Kael) You’ll soon receive the same treatment, dear professor.
Kael: (losing his smile) I forgot...
Our tournament is coming up soon too...
Dav: (smirking) I’ll make sure to put my heart into our training.
Evelyn: (resigned) At least we’ll die before we make a fool of ourselves during the tournament.
Think positive, Kael.
Director: (laughing) AHAAHAHAHA!
Rugerus: (playing with his food) Tomorrow’s exam will last two hours, and they’ll have to answer questions on a sheet.
It won’t be a problem if they study.
The questions will be many and all different, placed in different orders so they won’t be able to cheat or help each other.
Eldrin: (chuckling) You guys are so cruel, ahaha.
Dav: (eating) I’ll make sure to check if they’re actually studying after dinner... I don’t trust them on these things.
They’re lazy—they’d do anything to avoid studying, ahaha.
(chewing) While they take their exam, I’ll make sure to get in some training and help Selene clean the arena.
It’s always a mess after those sessions.
Selene: (sipping her wine) Cleaning up won’t be a problem with two of us.
As for the training, it’ll be very helpful for me.
Dav: (curious) I wonder who’ll score a 100 tomorrow.
Other than teaching, we don’t assign homework or anything else, because everything is reflected in the exams.
It’s all up to them.
Kael: (eating) Now you’ve made me curious.
I wonder who will be number one.
