He eyes were like the moon, shiny from the light reflecting off the whites of his eyes and large.
He looked back at the crowd behind him, some were snickering and some were nodding while some just stood there and admired his stupidity.
"Since the Queen so nice as to let you stay I'm going to ignore this act of rudeness after I hand out a punishment. The queen's words will be remembered now since you are going to for filled wishes and be moved down,"
I told him. He seemed to have broken after my words but he turned away and closed the door behind him with a sigh.
"I've got to hand it to you ace, you give out nice punishments compared to the last. "
The queen said as she came over, she then left with a wink. Looks like I've won the royal court over. I smiled at them.
"By the way, where's the teacher? "
She turned around and giggled. She then indicated for me to follow her. I got out of my seat and did. She lead me to the teacher's desk at the front and centre then she bent down and pointed fingers under it. I looked under and it was a middle aged man. He looked very similar to the one up front in the morning but he wasn't exactly him.
"Are you related to the person at the front desk?"
I asked him as her was crouched down. He was startled and was shivering.
'All these people need jackets'
Osric said in my head for the first time in a while.
'Had a nice nap?'
He nodded.
"Mr Lincoln, break has finished, you can start teaching now."
So this school does have teachers. They even are asked to teach.
"It was asked by joker that we all take class lessons seriously because the mind is also fighting the battle apparently. He still made class shorter though, we only have to pay attention 3 hours a day."
The queen explained with a bounce in her step. She was very energetic for one of the strongest fighters in the class.
"Sir, we are ready,"
The king said seriously as he made eye contact with everyone in the class.
The teacher cautiously got up from behind the desk and looked around, he then started teaching.
The three hours went by quickly and I was asleep half the time because I already knew all this stuff.
At the end of class Mr Lincoln came to my desk.
"Michael Cane,"
The teacher said to me as he approached. I was confused for a second before it all made sense. My brother enrolled me with a different last name, a twist to my middle name yet also common. Smart.
I looked at the teacher confirming that it was my name.
"I'd like you to do this test,"
He gave me a booklet that was about about 30 pages long.
"You don't have to do it all in one go as it is a lot so I'm going to give you half and hour today, tomorrow and the day after,"
He left my table and went to go sit at his desk.
The classroom was empty as everyone else was outside or maybe in a different classroom. I sighed opened the booklet to do the test.
He hadn't told me to stop yet but I finished the test, I went up and dropped it on his desk then left for the rooftop. Where I planned to spend the rest of my lunch.
...
The bell tolled again and it was another free to do what you want session. The teacher was gone, I even went to the desk to check under it.
The queen came up and explained.
"Mr Lincoln comes to school during recess and leaves during lunch, apparently it's safer that way though I'm not sure from what,"
She said thinking.
I was chuckling mentally at her oblivious manner to the school.
I went back to my desk and a moment later ms ex-ace came up to my desk.
"I'm going to take back my spot, just you wait,"
She told me.
"I know, because I won't be in this class for much longer, I'll be moving up and before you know it, I'll be the Joker,"
I was dead serious but she was laughing.
"You? The joker? In your dreams,"
And with that she walked away.
"Your very confident,"
The king said as he came over and watched her go.
"I have reasoning behind my confidence, plus should you be talking to me like that when I'm three years older then you? "
"Heh, age doesn't matter, only strength,"
I was right before, this is refreshing, we're the only care in the world is about strength.
"Well you don't you sit with the court tomorrow instead of disappearing,"
I looked at him.
"I'm going to go up in ranks faster then you think. For my sake I'm not going to sit with you guys because I won't be here for much longer. Might be time to discuss breaking up the team and putting one of you in the spot of ace. That other girl is weak."
I told him, he nodded. He knew. I could see it in his eyes.
"Do you like her?"
I asked him, interested in some drama.
"Who?"
He said with innocent curiosity. These kids are still so innocent.
"The queen,"
And instantly he started blushing like crazy, bingo.
"I don't know what it feels like to like someone, and her name is Kyra,"
He said with a reddened straight face. Sure kid sure.
"But what if, she doesn't like me back,"
He just admitted it. That was so easy.
"Look, your the king, have confidence, even if she doesn't like you back this part of being a man,"
He nodded. He was like a 5 year old the moment you mentioned the queen.
"Why don't you ask her now?"
I said just to tease him.
"You really think so?"
He said with an unsure expression. His eyes were hidden behind his fluffy black hair.
"Yes,"
I said this with sincerity realising how serious he took me. I pushed him forward and I bet his face was beet red.
"Kyra, "
She turned around and looked at him, giggling at his red face.
"Your so red, "
She said as she squished his cheeks.
"Hey! I actually need to tell you something,"
She looked at him with a questioning expression waiting for him. This is it, I watched intently.
"Kyra, I really like you!"
He shouted it, my eye brows raised at the volume he announced his feelings.
"Leon, I like you too!"
She shouted back and hugged him.
"I already knew you liked me, otherwise why would we be friends?"
She said as she let him go. I inwardly smacked my forehead. I knew she was oblivious to the world but not this oblivious!
