Chereads / The Unwilling Heir / Chapter 71 - Brain Fries

Chapter 71 - Brain Fries

What's with this messed up school?!

We were manipulated to have our potential exam without our permission and at the core of the situation it was me who lead it into this trap. God I feel so used!

At least now we have an actual break since we are once again walking back to the moss covered school, aka our temporary home for a year. I was unwilling to suggest something to do since last time I did that I fell head in into a trap. I swear, Althgar is a mind reader! How else would he know what I wanted to do, and I only made up my mind in that split second.

...

After the break, the quite mundane break of chatter. We went back to the castle at the request of the shadow guards who are still of unknown origin.

"When,"

I said to them. One of the guards turned around.

"Didn't I tell you? With time."

I seriously wanted to explode and beat the cr*p out of this person. Something is definitely wrong with me. I always though that my temper was quite good, how would I have survived with my parents my whole life if it wasn't. So what was different this time?

It was always:

Think before you attack.

Never run off instinct.

If you just happen to, then you have made your own death bed.

Don't even bother to pray

We arrived at the castle and all the chatter quickly went down, I didn't need to check the paper as this was the last exam of the day. Plus I'm pretty sure everyone here memorised it when they first saw it. It's a basic skill that everyone in the noble families have, photographic memory. It's a pain not having an excuse to forget thing you were told to remember. Also a pain when you have thinks like memory shortage. When you stored so many photos you brains kicks a few out because there isn't enough space.

Last one is the one I'm unsure if it's a practical or written because we've done a fair bit of practical work but the own subject relies on theory. I'm leaning more towards written because the teacher seems more inclined to do something like that.

We arrived inside the room with the shadow guards behind us.

"Good luck kids,"

One of them said, that was the last we heard of them before we started a the test.

Ms Zevary acted all nice but she totally overestimated us when the test she gave us was basically a post graduate test on biology. That was only the first part! Then the next part was relationships. It was the same but harder, because it includes to the spirit veins as well.

All heads were down and writing was minimal as you first had to understand the question, then rack your brain for something that sounds like an answer. Then write it down.

I'm pretty sure all of us came out brain dead, even Lioness, she might be a world class doctor but that just wastes memory space because you still need to memorise the spirit blood circulation.

"Is this what they call a brain fry?"

"It's more of a mental condition and has got nothing to do with physical we have been told."

"Experiencing it first time, in beginning to question that."

The tiger twins talked as always and it's always humorous how they have no idea on the idea of mundane feelings. Though even thing feeling is quite novel to me.

"Hey, depressed people, be glad, that was our last exam, even if it was a hell hole it was still the last one until the most likely end of year exam."

Silence came with that statement then a series of groans and reluctantly for something that's half a year ahead. Can't blame them, I feel the same way.

I looked at the calendar and my eyes widened before my body flipped onto the bed with a groan.

"I don't wanna!"

I mumbled out quite loudly in a whiny voice out of tiredness.

"What? Little Coltus's whiny voice is so innocent, unlike the person it belongs too."

This was mockery from Anastasia. This is bully I tell you, bullying!

"Bully, "

I mumbled out in response in a pouty voice.

"Then what's wrong,"

She asked back still voice dripping with mockery. Honestly, your personality hasn't changed since childhood.

"Date,"

When I said that I meant today's date, but it seems everyone else took it differently. All heads turned and Dominic then spoke.

"I'm sorry, Michael could you say that again?"

His brows furrowed and his voice was full of confusion.

"Awww, Jackal there is no need for confirmation,"

"We all heard what he said,"

"He wants to go on a date with little sis,"

"I never knew you felt this way stallion,"

The tigers conversed in a sweet tone that made me sick with embarrassment. I immediately got up after they misinterpreted the word.

"I didn't mean that date, I meant today's date,"

I hurried to clarify but I noticed my own mistake at that too late.

"Look at that embarrassment"

"It's ok, though I do warn you, you might get eaten by the lion before you can do,"

"THAT,"

They last one they said together in a forced whisper and winked at me. My eyes widened in horror. Those two are soo dead.

"You two are doing this on purpose aren't you,"

I got up, ready to brawl before I was interrupted once again by the peacemaker of the group.

"Let's check today's date just in case he did mean that,"

We all turned heads to face the angel and she was looking at the calendar, she then got out of the way and said.

"Well would you look at that, it's a Thursday,"

Everyone froze in horror and I was just staring at Eleanor. How come people pay attention to her and not me?!

"I literally just said that!"

I shouted at their dumbstruck faces.

"Your just not as beautiful or as captivating as the angel who has blessed us with her presence."

"Don't even bother to get up to her level, she will though, except my brother and I as her students one day,"

She smiled at the three of us. I inwardly scoffed at their childish behaviour and they seemed to have noticed. They laughed it off and continued on.

Eleanor went back to sit with Lioness and Dominic was close by keeping a watch on Eleanor. Looks like the shadow guards really do watch our every move. I could finally sense them outside spying in on us through the window. I went outside as there was nothing else to do, posing as a bored and out of mind person I walked around to where they were.

"Come out, I want to ask some questions if that's alright with you!"
