Chereads / Kaen / Chapter 15 - Charm

Chapter 15 - Charm

Next day.

It's time to go, I don't have much gear that could possibly help me much, just a set black gloves with red stripe lining's, basic uniform clothing with basic protection spells. It can protect me from a few lethal blows but can't withstand anything from magic all too well.

And black boots that match with my gloves. Both can protect my hands and legs from any danger.

Apart from that I don't own any weapons, all I have is my fists and physicality.

Ok. Ready!

"Kayla! Are you ready? Let's go"

Still no news from our parents, not a single word. I bet it's bothering her too.

"Yes I'm ready, I'm coming down just now, just getting something"

Her room is on the far right, opposite towards mine. Lucky I don't need to worry about our daily necessities either.

Seems, like our parents predicted this to happen and stock up at the last minute while we were away at the academy.

"ok, I'll wait by the door for you"

I feel like there's something that happened to them, but I can't openly talk about it to her, it'll just make her worried at the end.

I should look into it by myself, to take care of her after we're done with school, plus on the bright side we don't have to worry about our future for at least a couple of months.

She's coming.

"ok, let's go" doesn't seem like she's worried…

"why did you take so long? Forgot something?"

"n-no, idiot, let's just go, you go first."

She thought I didn't notice it, but as we were leaving through the door, she sneakily snuck something into my bag.

She always had a secret protection charm she always kept beside her where ever she went.

Seemingly so, she can't be openly kind with her own brother so she does it in secret…

Sigh*

Typical…

I'll repay the favour one day I guess.

Walking through the sectors of leuvras. Quiet and still. No one making a commotion like our first finals. No fights, no silver nor wolf.

Calming and relaxing.

We breezed by all the way, till we made it to the academy. Upon approaching the gate, I could see all the various students that have finished their finals yesterday.

Fully kitted, with luxurious equipment and much higher status clothing compared to mine…intimidating…speaking of that…

"kayla, how come you don't have equipment on?"

"huh me? Hmm, I have some in my bag but to be honest I don't really need it, besides we're only going to the 5th floor of the dungeon, it's not dangerous at all, for me of course. For you though…"

Oh yeah, I forget she's practically one of the best in school…

"yeah, yeah. I got it, I'll make sure I stand behind people and cower in fear like a good boy…" (sarcasm much…)

Maybe I should actually do that, this will be my second? No maybe third time entering the dungeon. Compare that to others who practically go there every single day… (do I really have to say anything…)

Anyway, finish saying goodbyes to each other, we went to our respected classes for instructions.

My class at sight was intimidating at most, as if they'd start to compare each other like a fashion show to see which is best looking.

When I entered, my class teacher looked shocked and stunned to see me…

"K-Kaen? What are you doing here? I didn't tell you about this. I mean I forgot to tell you about this."

Ohh, so it was intended? So they wanted me to deliberately not come to school so I'd fail…why all the trouble though, they could have done what they did like the previous three days?

"oh yep, I heard about it and thought that probably my ever so great teacher forgot to tell me it I advance"

"o-oh, oh I see… o-ok that's good, thank god…you can take your seat now…"

She seems...angry…

Why does she intend for me to fail so badly.

I mean I'm good with normally studies, but still that alone won't allow me to get into any prestigious universities either.

Again…

Hatred I have no idea where it came from…
