Episode 41 – Urwin (2/2)
Kiel’s eyes flashed with alar wryly And then looked back towards the boy, whose eager expression re excitedly
“Totally destroyed it! The hourglass shattered, the jelly sprayed everywhere, the balls blew up in smoke It was a bloody esticulated
“The assistant professor was too close to the speedometer so the lava-like jelly splashed over him and burned away his clothes He went berserk and kicked us out of the room Some of the people were so scared they ran away, tails between their legs The rest of us had to wait forever to resume the test”
At this point, he could no longer contain his laughter and burst out clutching his stomach
Kiel stared at hilanced towards Elaru, he noticed her covering her les
His eyebroitched What the…? Is hefun of me? Or did that really happen?
“What really happened?” Kiel could no longer endure, and he sent his telepathic demand for Elaru to explain Her response was si happened exactly as he said…”
After laughing a while, the boy wiped tears from the corner of his eyes and finished the explanation “You should have seen the sour face of Deora Thayn when Zerel Reysic gave her full points and returned her exam pass One word – priceless!”
Kiel’s face stood frozen in a s expression for a while He didn’t knohat emotion would be appropriate for him to display at thisat all
“What Did You Do?!”
Elaru s
“How did you break the speedometer?!”
“Naturally, I was too fast…” The statement wasn’t false, it indeed broke because of her speed But of course, she didn’t elaborate the reason why she ed to reach that speed
This wasn’t the right tiest ability nor
Kiel lowered his head, his bangs casting the shadow over his eyes He had never heard of anyone breaking the speedometer before Abnormal! You are too abnormal! From which world did you come from?!
After a while of being lost as to how to react, he decided to change the subject, pretending that nothing happened and turned towards the boy He smiled pleasantly and offered his hand “Kiel Rroda”
The boy whistled and shook Kiel’s hand “Nice! Elaru, you never told me that your friend is a Rroda”
Elaru shrugged “It wasn’t important”
“Are you kidding? How h to associate with nobles?” Arion laughed and then finally responded to Kiel “I am Arion Urwin”
Urwin Urwin Hmmm…
After a short memory search, Kiel found out why that last name sounded familiar
Ureren’t a noble family However, they were quite famous in the lands of Halnea because they owned several newspapers including the Lodge (quest seeker & quest lodge related newspaper), the Warlord (arena and warlock related newspaper), and the Sibyl (a daily newspaper covering all kinds of different news)
Kiel’s grandfather warned him to be especially vary of Urwins You never knew if your next words would end up in tomorrow’s Sibyl
Kiel nodded towards Arion affir to Elaru He intended for theive hi:
“Your girlfriend is AMAZING”
Kiel’s eyebroitched alirlfriend” He exclai voice
“Wow there! You sure shot that down quickly Ouch” Elaru put a hand over her heart and feigned pain before erupting into a chuckle
Arion’s eyes lit up as if he just heard good news “Only friends? How close are you guys?”
None of your business… Kiel grumbled inwardly
Elaru cupped her chin “How close?” She grinned brightly “We are practically Siamese twins!”
While Arion was looking at Elaru, Kiel shot her a deathglare
“What? Those were your words, notio, when he realized he was stuck with her, he didof the sorts
Before he could find an appropriate way to disagree with her state: “So childhood friends? Awesome!”
“Not exactly” Kiel added before Elaru could cause another erous it was to reveal any information to an Urwin?! They could be the topic of tomorrow’s newspaper!Why, oh, why did you have to break a speedometer in the presence of an Urwin?!
Arion didn’t stop the questioning, his face still honest and friendly,one feel like it was completely safe to reveal any information to him
What flawless execution! Could this be considered an Urwin family secret skill?
“Oh? How long have you guys known each other?”
Both Elaru and Kiel responded to the question simultaneously Unfortunately, their answers didn’t match
Kiel retorted with “Too long” While Elaru responded with “3 days”
They shared a look and then saw the strange look on Arion’s face
Kiel caved in and decided to explain the contradictory state distance relationshi+p We only got together 3 days ago to travel to Muni together”
Elaru snickered quietly “Nice save! You didn’t even lie I see you are catching on what Iwith truth” She winked at him
Arion nodded understandingly “I see How long were you…long distancing?”
Is this an interview, or is it that you usually never shut up?
Elaru smirked and retorted with: “That’s a secret Let’s just say…I know Kiel better than anyone” She winked again This time, Kiel wasn’t sure whether it was to him or Arion
Either way, her statement left him speechless
