Chapter 27 - Dinner

In the afternoon after finishing all the lessons for today, Selina and Alexa along with the other Class 1 members were packing their belongings to return to their dorms.

"Huff... It turns out that it's very tiring to train elemental magic," Jackson said, leaning back in his chair after finishing packing his things.

"Of course it's very tiring. Do you think it's easy to master elemental magic?" Christian responded from his chair which is exactly in front of Jackson's chair.

"To be honest, yes I do think so. Hey, how about we have dinner together?" said Jackson who suddenly stood up from his sitting position.

"Dinner? Okay, where should we eat?" Alexa asked, her eyes sparkled with the idea of having all members of Class 1 dinner together.

"Hmm... I agree. But each dorm has its own cafeteria. Which one do we want to choose?" Christian asked the opinions of his friends.

"How about we eat outside of school? I know a good but cheap restaurant," Daniel suggested.

"How do you know such a place?" Alexa asked curiously.

"I found out when I left the palace," Daniel answered with a small smile.

"Is a prince like you able to get out of the palace that easily?" this time Jackson asked.

"Impossible. He left the palace with the reason to meet me but instead, he dragged me to participate in his little adventure in exploring Seraphina City," Arthur answered Jackson's question meanwhile Daniel just smiled shyly because he was caught doing an unprincely act.

"Hahaha... I didn't expect Prince Daniel who was praised by many people as an example for the younger generation to do such an act," Jackson laughed, followed by other Class 1 members.

"So, what are we waiting for? We already know where we want to eat, so let's go!" Alexa exclaimed excitedly.

"Wait a minute, Alexa. Can we get out of the dorm at night?" Selina asked.

"It's possible if we have a guardian. Let's also invite Teacher Albus so that we are permitted," Arthur explained.

"Ooh... I just found out about this rule," Selina exclaimed with sparkling eyes.

"How could you not know this rule? I thought you were the type to memorize everything," Arthur said with his flagship smirk.

"I-Is it wrong if I don't know about this particular rule?!" Selina replied in slightly high pitch, provoked by Arthur.

*Sigh*

"You two are just like dogs and cats. Even dogs and cats in my house get along better than you two," Alexa tried to interrupt Selina and Arthur.

"But, he started it..." Selina pointed at Arthur angrily.

"How is it my fault?" Arthur said innocently.

"You… You…" Selina could not say anything more.

"Eay... Let's meet Teacher Albus!" Jackson interrupted.

"Hmph!"

"Heh!" Selina and Arthur looked away in different directions simultaneously.

"Thank you all for inviting me to dinner together," Teacher Albus said.

"You're welcome, but honestly, we just needed a teacher to act as a chaperone," Daniel answered while scratching the back of his head and smiling awkwardly.

"Hmm... Then I'm a victim here," joked Teacher Albus.

"Ahahahaha..."

The seven of them are currently walking to a restaurant that Daniel says is tasty and cheap. Soon they arrived. The restaurant isn't too crowded, maybe because it's not dinner time yet. They then took a seat at a long table that could fit all seven of them. After sitting comfortably, they also called the waitress to order food.

"Waitress!" Teacher Albus became the representative for all of them to call the servants.

"Coming!" A waitress with a curvy body came to their table. Seeing Teacher Albus's handsome face, the waitress blushed violently.

"Can I help you?" Asked the waitress after gathering her focus back.

"We want to order but are confused about what to order. What is the specialty of this place?" Teacher Albus asked with a small smile when he saw the waitress who was acting awkwardly because of himself.

"We specialize in pasta, sir. We make various types of pasta ourselves and cook it when the order has been received." The waitress said politely.

"Hmm... We are still confused about what to order. Can you give a recommendation?"

"Of course, sir. We have Cajun Kotópoulo Pasta, Creamy Pesto Garída, and Lasagna as our top three best dishes."

Kotópoulo is the name of a chicken-like beast and is often bred for eggs and meat. While Garída is a beast that comes from the sea that tastes and looks like shrimp.

"What do you want to order?" Teacher Albus asked Selina and her friends.

"I want a Lasagna!" Jackson raised his right hand in the air.

"I'm also Lasagna," said Alexa who chose the same menu as Jackson.

"I want Cajun Kotópoulo Pasta," Daniel said this time.

"I'm the same as Daniel," said Christian.

"I want to eat Creamy Pesto Garída."

"I'll just have Creamy Pesto Garída." Arthur and Selina said together.

Selina turned her head towards Arthur and glared at him. Arthur who saw Selina glared at him only shrugged.

"Why look at me like that? You are the one who following my words."

"I'm not following your words!" Selina said in an annoyed tone.

*Sigh*

"Stop fighting, both of you," Teacher Albus sighed then intervened.

"Okay… Teacher Albus," Selina bowed her head as a sign of guilt.

"You too, Arthur. Stop provoking Selina."

"Why me too?" Arthur tilted his head to the side.

"Arthur..." Teacher Albus gave a warning.

*Sigh*

"Alright..." Arthur sighed.

After their order was delivered to their table, they began to savor their respective foods.

"Teacher Albus, I heard a rumor that you like Teacher Nancy. Is that true?" Alexa asked suddenly.

Teacher Albus almost sprayed the food that is in his mouth.

"Where did you hear that rumor, Alexa?" Teacher Albus asked after calming himself.

"It's a secret! So is that true?" Alexa pestering Teacher Albus.

"…"

"Come on Teacher Albus... Is that true?" Alexa asked.

"Er... Can I not answer that?"

"Nope!"

Seeing the gazes of all the Class 1's members that focusing on him, Teacher Albus finally relented.

*Sigh*

"The rumor is true. I am indeed chasing Teacher Nancy intending to get married," Teacher Albus sighed then answered with a slightly flushed face.

"Wooah," all Class 1's members were stunned by the honest answer expressed by Teacher Albus.

"Then, then... How's your relationship with Teacher Nancy now?" Selina asked.

"My relationship with Teacher Nancy is still in the approaching stage. Teacher Nancy said she still doesn't have the desire to establish a relationship after a few months ago she broke up with her boyfriend."

"So the conclusion is that Teacher Albus still has to struggle to treat the wound in Teacher Nancy's heart. Oooh... So romantic," said Alexa, holding her cheeks.

Teacher Albus smiled then said, "Yes."

"Then Teacher Albus you have to let us know if you succeed in getting Teacher Nancy's heart!" Jackson told Teacher Albus.

"Why?"

"Because we will ask for a treat from you. Happiness must be shared with others. Isn't that right, guys?" Jackson asked, with a nod from his friends.

"Alright, alright... I'll treat you when I succeed," said Teacher Albus who smiled and raised his hands in surrender.

"Yeaah! It is a promise then!"
