After a couple of minutes of talking, Juin yawned and excused himself. When he got back to his room, Cyrus was already sleeping and snoring away on his bed.
Seeing his sleeping face, which looked like every other normal human child's face, Juin could not help but smile. He went forward and covered Cyrus' body with the comforter before climbing in next to him.
"He's like Wesley when Wesley was at his age…" Juin mumbled before yawning out loud. He was truly tired out, and looking at the antique clock on the wall that had a blue bird perched on a nest, it was already almost 4 a.m.
As he stared at the blue bird, Juin felt as if the bird was watching him back. Shooking his head, he told himself that he was imagining things.
"Like Wesley?" Lucifer scoffed. "Except that he's probably hundreds of years older than Wesley, and even you, and can tear you apart easily, but I guess he's like Wesley," Lucifer remarked sarcastically as he floated down next to the bed. "I'm really curious about his fighting ability…"
"I won't let him fight unless it's necessary," Juin said with a frown. "He's still a child!"
"A deadly child. Besides, between the two of you, I have no doubt that he's a better fighter."
"I'll get strong quicker," Juin said with a determined gaze. He then closed his eyes and went into sleep quickly.
The next morning, Juin woke up when he heard a knock on the door. Looking at the antique clock on the wall, Juin g.r.o.a.n.e.d, "7 a.m already?"
"Young Master Juin, it's time for breakfast…"
Too lazy to walk over, he merely yelled from the bed, "I'm awake!"
"Urgh…" Cyrus who was sleeping next to him g.r.o.a.n.e.d and kicked Juin off the bed, pulling the comforter down with him, as well as a pillow.
BAM!
"Damn…" Juin g.r.o.a.n.e.d. Luckily the comforter and pillow broke his fall, or he would have ended up with a bruise or two. He stood up and walked to the door, where a male servant was standing there with two sets of uniforms of varying sizes.
"Good morning, Young Master Juin," the male servant greeted him after a bow. "These are the uniforms for you and Young Master Cyrus."
"I thought we are getting homeschooled?" Juin asked, yawning.
The male servant nodded. "But during school hours, in order to keep everyone in the study spirit, it is a rule for the students to be in uniforms."
Hearing the male servant's reply, Juin nodded and reached out to take the uniforms.
"Breakfast will be served in 30 minutes, and everyone should head to their own classes at 8 a.m."
"Noted," Juin said before closing the door and heading back to his bed. He then woke Cyrus up… or he tried to.
"Nooo…" Cyrus g.r.o.a.n.e.d and hid his head under one of the pillows.
"Come on, we are going to be late for school…" Juin said, dragging Cyrus off to the bathroom to clean up.
…
By the time they were dressed and got down to the dining room for breakfast, everyone else had already started eating.
"Oh, hi, Juinny…" the Siren, Maris Aegean, greeted with a smile and patted the seat next to hers. "Come, sit here with me…"
"Erm…" Juin quickly activated a shield and said, "I'll sit here instead…"
He took the seat next to Luca. Even if they weren't friends, at least he could still handle Luca better than Maris.
"I'll sit next to you," Cyrus said as he hopped onto the seat next to Maris happily. His lineage was too strong for Maris to affect him with her voice, so he wasn't afraid of her at all.
"Ready for class? I do hope that you two won't end up killing each other," Maris joked as she cut into a piece of Bratwurst.
Luca ignored her and merely focused on his breakfast. "Coffee, Soren," Luca said, pointing at his empty cup.
"Another one, sir? You already drank a cup…" Soren said with a frown as he poured Luca another cup of black coffee.
Luca did not say anything. He merely yawned slightly and continued eating.
"Another nightmare, Luca?" Maris said with a smile. "You know, you should really work more on your mental health… How are you going to fight if you can't control your own power?"
"Mind your own business, Maris," Luca said nonchalantly as he finished the last of his Bratwurst sausages and started on the bacon.
Juin merely kept to himself most of the time. So far, it seemed that Luca did not have a cordial relationship with anyone other than Soren.
…
A few hours later, Juin found himself yawning constantly as the teacher droned on about the history of US.
"Mr. Juin, did my class bore you?" asked the teacher.
"No, sir!" Juin immediately sat up straight and looked at the whiteboard.
The teacher then turned to look at Luca, whose head was hidden behind a textbook.
"Sigh…" The teacher shook his head, and using his right index and middle fingers, he pointed at Luca and chanted something, upon which the book in front of Luca flew up in midair, revealing a sleeping Luca.
With a silent sigh, the teacher manipulated the book and let it drop on Luca's head, hard.
PAP!
"Ouch!" Luca cried out and rubbed his head as he looked at the teacher with a confused and wronged expression. "Sorry, sir…"
"Focus! For that mistake, we are ending the class half an hour later!" said the teacher harshly before turning back to the whiteboard.
Both Juin and Luca g.r.o.a.n.e.d at the punishment, and they glared at each other.
"Why didn't you wake me up?!" Luca whispered at Juin. "This is your fault!"
"You're the one who fell asleep! Why can't you stay awake?!" Juin snapped back in a whisper. "Useless!"
When they felt a killing intent, they immediately stopped whispering and looked at the whiteboard again. Their teacher stared at them for a few seconds before continuing his lecture.
Another hour later, they were finally done with their basic classes. Unlike during the earlier class, Luca suddenly became energetic as he packed his stuff and ran out of the room with it.
Even though he felt curious, Juin did not bother to follow him. He quickly packed his stuff before meeting the servant who was supposed to take him to meet his Elementalist teacher, Mr. Tucker Lee.
"Oh, it's you," Juin said when he saw the servant upon exiting the classroom. "You're the girl from yesterday."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
After a couple of minutes of talking, Juin yawned and excused himself. When he got back to his room, Cyrus was already sleeping and snoring away on his bed.
