Chapter 189: Who is this man? (2/2)
”It's not like that. Nonetheless, what's your purpose for coming here?” She asked, though she was slightly annoyed by their entrance.
”We came here because I heard that you returned to the academy and someone pointed us here when I tried to search for your whereabouts. As an older cousin, I cannot let my younger cousin who doesn't know about the world would lose her way inside the academy.” Czar replied with a smile.
”Eh?” She wondered how this older cousin was able to find out about her coming to the academy. And what was the connection of it with him? To be honest, they had never been the close cousins' eversense childhood. They barely talk in the family's domain. Not just that, they only saw each other about twice or thrice. So he was almost a stranger to her.
And what is this sudden acting close? Cinde could not believe the change of personality this person had. Then again, she didn't know his real personality. Maybe he was always like this.
Regardless, 'Could it be that Ember was the one who told him about me going back to the academy?' She thought. One time she saw them conversing with each other inside the family domain.
And yet! Everything is just too weird. The sudden appearance of this cousin of hers together with his friends and the coming here because of her. This gives her a bad feeling for some reason.
Seeing the doubt in her face, ”The uncle told it to me. He even asked me to bring you in the Department. Don't worry, with me as your backer, it's easy for you to join without the need for a test,” said Czar while puffing his chest.
”The boss was telling the truth!” The person at his back seconded.
Yman and the others were listening to them. In his mind, 'so it was Cinde's relatives,' he thought. But he was still curious by his recent words; however, he could not find the right timing to ask.
Cinde was more confused. 'How that guy who was supposed to be a silent and anti-social person now surrounded by people. And one of them even called him a boss?'
”So, it was my father who told you about it. Regardless, what do you mean that my father had asked you to let me join your department?” Cinde asked with a can't believe face.
”Ah that, yes the uncle asked me no doubt,” Czar replied.
Cinde narrowed her eyes. 'Why did father do that?” She asked inwardly.
Yman and the others just listen in silence.
But, ”hey you insolent kid! How dare you barge in and destroy my paradise's door!” Prof. Ronnie bellowed, could not hide anymore his annoyance.
”Paradise you say…”
”.....”
”Puffft!”
”Puwahaha!” They laughed.
”Fufu, what's there to be so dramatic about it, Professor? You should be thankful to me for helping you get rid of the trash.”
Said Czar with a grin that made the professor gulp and clears his throat. ”How disrespectful!” He roared. He could not believe that such a young man had such arrogance towards him. ”Get out of here!” He shouted.
However, Czar and the others stood still on their feet. A moment later,
Yman squinted his eyes.
Professor Ronnie's face twitched into an angry face. If not because of the academy's rule he already slapped this fool. Then they noticed Czar opened his mouth again.
”How ironic to see the mighty professor fell below. He is supposed to be the most famous person in the academy. But thanks to his being chossy, he lagged and fell to the 'pit of no improvement'. This whole Alchemy Department is just a load of trash now!” Czar purposely increased his volume at the end of his words, seemingly mocking and looking down at the alchemy department.
His friends guffawed while shaking their heads.
Yman was wondering. He glanced around him and saw their faces.
He saw Airi's worried and scared face. The professor was having an angry face. His face was changing color from pale to fuming red. Perhaps angry at the disrespect of these people towards him. But Professor weirdly fell silent while raising a brow.
Cinde was the same as him. Puzzled at what was happening.
On the other hand, he saw Rea seeping her tea, seemingly uninterested by what was currently happening. And Sistela was sitting on his shoulder, gazing at the people in front and listening to the conversation with great interest. She looked like someone who was watching a movie.
Yman finally understood a little of the situation.
”Hehe,” he chuckled.
Czar and the others laughing suddenly went to a stop when they heard the person in front of them chuckled.
”You are so kind, Mister, for getting rid of the trash. Perhaps, you're trying to apply as a housekeeper? But unfortunately, your work isn't commendable. Tsk, tsk!” He said while shaking his head and sighing in regret.
”.....”
Now, it was Czar, and the other's turn to fall silent.
'Who is this man?' Their thoughts.
