Cara contained her accumulating anger and didn't voice her thoughts, after all, the one who interfered was one of her dear friends, Rika. Though she didn't agree with what her friend said, Cara decided to forget about what happened and change the subject.
The four girls entered the classroom and sat next to each other, happily chatting amongst each other.
"Is everything okay, Rika?"
Scarlett was about to lash out at the youngster only for the words to be stuck in her throat. Her pupils constricted and her mouth remained half-open for three seconds before she snapped out of it, lightly coughed then said: "Y,y, ahem. You're master's patient?"Seeing her weird behavior, Bin furrowed his brows, not knowing why she switched the topic so abruptly and asked him such a question. He stared at her for a few moments but no matter how much he looked, he couldn't recognize her. Most definitely, she wasn't someone he met then forgot then… why is it that she seemed to have recognized him?
As he had to leave the forest lest the doctor kept pestering him, Bin was forced to roam the campus, bored and a bit sleepy. His nap was interrupted and his mood worsened after interacting with Scarlett, whom he hoped would leave alone in the future.Class would last for two hours, at least, and he, a servant, has absolutely nothing to do. The magic academy had around a hundred students, not too much for such a prestigious place that is big enough to fit ten times that amount, if not more.In addition to studying theoretical stuff
After he saw the brief demonstration of the Teacher Julia, Bin left the practice field. He was slightly impressed but didn’t want to linger too long in a place dense with Mana. Basically, the further the better.The pumping objects planted by Ann were marvelously doing their job so he didn’t need to worry. Very quickly, he found a comfortable spot under a tree, its shadow blocking the sun and providing him with a beautiful view of the empty campus.It didn’t take long for his sleepiness to kick-off and his eyes t
"Ugh! Professor Elliot's class is so tense. I was even afraid to breathe loudly."Jasmine complained while massaging her sore arms. She had to carefully listen to Elliot and concentrate on every word to not miss anything. He was a strict professor and anyone caught slacking will have a miserable fate. Even the usually playful Cara kept her silence and didn't even dare to chitchat like in other classes. Nevertheless, the class was informative and definitely worth it as Elliot wasn't someone to disappoint. His popularity precedes him and although he was hard to reason with, he still did his job perfectly and meticulously, answering anything asked by his students.
"Aren't you going to eat?"Rika glanced at the standing Bin and asked, her gaze lingering on his face for a few moments before shyly retracting it. The other three girls were busying themselves with their food while chatting about girly boorish stuff."Nah, I'm fine. I'll eat later.""Why not?" Out of no where, Melissa butted in, looking at the pale-faced youth with a seductive
Jasmine was happily giggling and chatting with Joseph while Cara was whispering something Rika while sneaking a couple of glances at the tall young man on the opposite side of the table.Bin returned next to them and remained standing like a pillar, his face expressionless and his lips tightly shut, neither commenting on the banal conversation of the couple or mocking Cara’s ‘quiet’ whispering, which was actually idiotic thoughts she dared to brazenly say.
"By the way, how are you feeling?" Aldren glanced at Bin, who was sitting next to him and nonchalantly asked.After a never-before-insistence, Bin let himself dragged by this guy, who claimed that there was a close place where they could have some fun. Apparently, on a car, it's only a few minutes away from the academy so he doesn't have to worry about returning late to Jasmine.Aldren knew Bin's circumstances so he definitely wouldn't deliberately cause problems, at least that's what he confidently claimed.
Very soon, Aldren busied himself with other fun games, jumping from one table to another, uncaring about the money he lost. As for Bin, he wandered around, curiously checking the machines but he didn’t dare to play, unwilling to lose the money in his possession.People were enjoying their time, laughing together and throwing money as if it was nothing. Bin wished he could all of that to himself but it was just him fantasizing about impossible scenarios any poor person would dream about.Around fifteen minutes later, he wandered off to a smaller room with more people. Contrary to other area, this one had no machines or tables, there was just a group of masked people circling around a woman wearing a dark veil that covered her face.Although her face was unseen, a pale, slender neck rises from the gorget. The milky skin stretched across all the exposed parts, it is delicate and translucent, like a parchment that has been scraped clean too many ti
