Chapter 5 – Demon King’s Broadness (1/2)
Loran Academy
“Hey, I heard that Lin Xiao’s magic power also broke through the third-level. He tied for first with Caesar on yesterday’s test!”
“I’ve also heard…strange, why didn’t Lin Xiao come today?”
“The way I see it, he’s scared to come because he has a guilty conscience!”
“Guilty conscience?”
“He was only beginner second-level on last month’s test. How could he have possibly broken through 3 stages in just one month? He must have cheated!”
“Seriously?”
The disturbance from yesterday’s test still continued. The teacher had not come yet so the classroom was chaotic and noisy.
A young girl with long pink hair stood behind another teenager, her head lowered, her fingers crossed, she wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Caesar, I, I…”
“What is it Rosie?” asked the teenager sitting in his seat. Sharp piercing eyebrows, a dignified appearance and was half a head taller than Rosie. He was the very definition of a handsome guy.
He’s the fifth prince of Lombard Kingdom, the strongest first year student in the magic department at Loran Academy, Caesar Alex!
Seeing his handsome face and dashing golden short hair, Rosie took a step back, unconsciously removed her sight and her voice became almost inaudible.
“Yesterday, yesterday’s test…I was an upper second-level!” Rosie said, biting her lip.
“Oh, are you?” Caesar nodded absentmindedly, “Oh, amazing.”
“The teacher said I can break through the third level next month…”
“Oh, is that so, um, do your best.”
“That, Caesar! I…” Rosie clutching her right hand in her left wanted to say something but wasn’t brave enough to say it.
“What’s wrong?”
“I……”
“Rosie, the teacher is coming. Is there anything else?” Caesar urged.
Damn, Rosie oh Rosie, hurry up and say what you wanted to say! If you don’t, how can he understand?
Rosie, who was full of turmoil, finally braved herself and raised her head. She decided to speak out her heart. However, when her and Caesar’s eyes met each other, she completely forgot the words she prepared.
Caesar still had that cool look, and his eyes were always still looking at her. But she kept feeling that Caesar seemed to be looking behind her and into the distance. She didn’t exist in Caesar’s line of sight.
Sure enough, I still can’t do it…
“No, nothing, I will continue to work hard!” Rosie shook her head, pretending to smile.
She no longer wanted to bother the other party. She buried her grievances in her heart, dragged her tired body back to her seat and quietly waited for class to start.
What was the point of all the hard work I put in this month? Wasn’t it just so that I could walk into his line of sight? But why am I unable to say it?
Rosie was vexed by her cowardliness.
No, no, not her cowardice, no matter how hard she tries now she wouldn’t be able to get Caesar’s attention. There’s currently only one person in Caesar’s mind — Lin Xiao!
Rosie was again angered when thinking of Lin Xiao.
Caesar was very prideful. He was always first place for the tests in the magic department, but this time he actually suffered a defeat and Lin Xiao grabbed the limelight. He is definitely very angry! Rosie believed that the reason why Caesar was so cold to her is because of that Lin Xiao!
Who’s Lin Xiao? The most unremarkable person in the magic department. He has some talent and his level was always around the middle of the academic year . Usually, he appear to be very clever and obedient. With the exception of being somewhat lazy, he is pretty much the role model of a good student in the teacher’s hearts. She didn’t know why but Rosie felt unpleasant watching him.
She couldn’t explain the reason, Rosie believed that Lin Xiao was a guy without any motivation. Although he was very hard-working and he acted that way, but Rosie believed that he is absolutely lazy to his bones!
Damn Lin Xiao, how can he be the same as Caesar and breakthrough to the third-level? How can he progress so quickly? Don’t tell me he really cheated?
If emotions had power, Rosie’s anger will certainly tear Lin Xiao into tiny pieces.
She made up her mind that she definitely had to look into this matter or else it will not end!
“Everyone quiet down please, class has started!” The white-haired teacher, Woos, stood in front of the podium and slammed the thick textbook down. The heavy noise spread throughout the classroom.
All the students kept quiet out of fear and sat behaved in their own seats.
“Did Lin Xiao not come today? Heee…” Woos sighed helplessly, spread open the textbook, ready to teach today’s course.
“Today we’ll continue to talk about ‘The Study of the Demon King’s Personality and Power Level’ Rosie, what kind of existence is the demon king?”
“Eh?” Rosie was still thinking about Lin Xiao when she was suddenly called on. She could only stand up in a panic and answered. “I, I haven’t seen the Demon King yet.”
“Guess.”
