107 Rupert and Veronica (1/2)

'These kids are durable…'

This is what majority of the older batch thought at this point. It wasn't that they were weak, they were just really exhausted. Victor might've given them enough time to recuperate and sleep but the examinations took a different toll on them, and that's on their physiological health, something that a good night rest wouldn't cure.

Even then, these kids were still impressive for their age, it seems that newer generations are becoming scarier and scarier.

Eventually the warm up finished, the older batch finally had time to catch their breath while the newer batch already did, they even had time to spare.

”Alright, that's enough. Now let's talk about activities.” Victor waved his hand and a bunch of scrolls appeared in his hand.

He then asked each student to grab at least one, after everyone's done he nodded and said: ”You may read the contents.”

Raven caught his and opened the scroll. His eyes shone since it reads:

'Oh? First day and we already have a mission? According to my knowledge, this should be at least an upper B-grade Mission since it has something to do with going outside of the kingdom.'

While he was deep in his thoughts, he heard someone complaining on his side.

”Oh come on Sir! Seriously? Mission Already? And it's monthly one nonetheless! Can't we have like a week's rest? We just came back from a grueling place you know?”

The one who's complaining was a chubby guy with a mohawk-ed hairstyle. The way he complained was a bit over the top since he moved too much and each time he does, the fats on his cheeks and belly jiggles.

”Oh, complaining again Little Rupert?”

Under Victor's sharp and narrowed gaze, the chubby guys named Rupert shrank back and sweated nervously. He then laughed awkwardly and hurriedly said:

”N-no! Who-who's complaining? I'm not complaining!” Rupert then faced one his batch mates and asked: ”You! Are you complaining? You must be complaining! Sir it's Trebor who's complaining! ” Even the way he pointed at his classmates was weird.

”Enough nonsense Fat Child.” Victor smacked him in his head, although lovingly. ”Just do your mission and you'll stay here, otherwise get out.”
