Chapter 18 - Chapter 16: Till the Plot Awaits

NOTE!

Classes that are one of the top three are always one of the first top classes, so even if the aurorawhales is one of the third top classes in the school, they are still one of the top classes in the school so all three classes will always be one of the top and firsts.

[ Expressionless Awakener ]

- Currently at the classroom -

"Is it true you defeated an S-class monster!?"

A classmate curiously asked.

"Your hair is so soft!" A classmate enthusiastically spoke as they touch my hair.

My eyes began to spin from the students as they dragged and grasped me around like im some toy.

Kwan jihu suddenly approached the gathered students around me!

Kwan jihu slowly approached me as he stared at my or hes classmates with intimidating eyes.

My classmates who were gathering me got startled and took a step back.

I could tell from there faces that they felt the emiting coldness from kwan jihu.

But i could also tell that they were not scared a bit and just a bit startled.

Kwan jihu stared at me menacingly.

'What did i do to deserve this..?'

I thought as i stared at kwan jihu expressionlessly.

"Thanks..." I mumbled quietly.

Kwan jihu didn't respond and went out of the classroom.

The students pouted and went out of the classroom to eat lunch, as they already knew and finished tackling me.

'Oh...Oh yeah! It is lunch isn't it?' I thought as i almost forgot about lunch.

I went out of the classroom along with my classmates going out for lunch aswell.

A student inside my classroom spoke to me first.

"Hello!"

The student greeted.

I turned around as i stared at the familliar student.

'Isn't this guy, Garcila luven?'

I thought as i recognize the student approaching me.

"My name is Garcila luven! Nice to meet you, new classmate!"

Luven greeted me with a smile.

"Oh..uh hello"

I greeted him back.

I stared at him for a while.. Trying to remember hes description in the novel.

'Oh! Isn't this guy the side character with father issues.?'

I thought as i stared at him quietly.

"Um... There are alot of students gathering around you at the classroom isn't it?" He asked with a friendly smile.

Despite having father issues and having family problems, this guy is actually really friendly and keeps up a not-to-worry smile, along with being sociable with other students.

He is the first person i have felt bad on while reading on the novel.. Im not sure if i remembered the way hes family is treating him, but i do feel bad about him.

"Yeah.." I muttered.

"It is what it is!" He enthusiastically spoke.

This guy also has a passionate side, apparently the type of hating losing a battle.

"Everytime a new student came into our classroom, ofcourse our classmates would get curious and excited!"

He spoke as he chuckled.

'I should've known about it when reading the novel... Seems like i have forgotten about it.' I thought.

I stared at him quietly.

"Oh, by the way, If your going to the cafeteria, I'll show you the way to go!" He asked with a grin of excitement.

"But i do know where it is." I replied.

"Ohh.. Not that cafeteria!" He chuckled.

'...?' I tilted my head and stared at him with confusion.

"Follow me!" He spoke as he grabbed my hand.

I followed him as he rushed through the hallways while grabbing my hand.

My eyes were spinning as he ran somewhat fast.

I looked and noticed kwan jihu staring at me with mad-like eyes then looking back at a different direction.

'..?'

Finally, i was at the so-called cafeteria place.

I shooked off my exhaustion because of luven and then stared at him for a while.

"Here we are!" He spoke enthusiastically.

I was quiet for a while as i stared at the huge door in front of me.

'uhh...'

"This place is only opened for high-ranking students!"

"High-ranking..?"

I asked curiously.

"Yeah! And those who came from one of the top classes, Like our classroom aurorawhales are also allowed here aswell!"

I stared at him with utmost surprise.

"Like...Were allowed to go inside..here..?"

"Yeah! I mean, If you don't like it, you can also visit the other normal cafeteria. High-ranking students are also free to visit the other cafeteria!"

Luven spoked excitingly.

I was quiet for a moment but decided to go inside anyways.

"I'm sure you'll like what's inside!

As the huge door began to open, i was amazed by the cafeterias looks and decorations!

'Woah...' I thought.

'But hold on..Why does it look familiar..?'

I thought.

As i looked around more, i noticed the roof ceiling was still half fixed.

I was a bit confused.

"Hey, luven.. Why is the ceiling half broken?"

I asked curiously.

"Oh! Do you not recognize this place?" He asked back.

I was confused as i stared at him more.

"This cafeteria was used as the banquet hall from our 50th anniversary! It was said that lots of the other low-ranking students wanted to know what its like to be inside one of the high-ranking student's cafeteria!"

He spoke with a big smile on hes face.

I was stunned.

"Th-this.. is...the banquet...from our...50th school anniversary....?" I stuttered each word i said to luven as my mind began to rewind the vague and traumatizing memories inside the banquet.

"Yup!" Luven said simply with a giant smile.

Students who were eating began to notice us and whispered...excitingly..?

'Even high ranking students gossip...right?' I thought as i stared at them with their exciting and enthusiastic faces.

"So..what do you-" Before luven could finish hes sentence, i ran out of the banquet as fast as i could as i shouted;

"Nah-ah! Never again!"

But before i could run through the hallways, i suddenly bumped into someone familiar.

I fell from the ground with a thump.

Thump!

"Uh! Sorry... i didn't mean to-.." before i could finish my sentence as i scratched my head, I suddenly felt an aura that i 100% recognized.

I looked up to see kwan jihu staring at me coldly and menacingly as usual.

Finally, I began to slowly remember the conversation we had yesterday.. I'm not sure how i wasn't able to remember it when i first saw him, but because we met for the second or third(?) time, i guess it makes sense that my memories would come back this way...

I began to shiver from a bit of fear, along with the tip of my hair shivering with me.

He began to continue staring at me menacingly before speaking.

"Tomorrow, You will meet me at the school gates atleast 4pm time. If you don't visit..."

Kwan jihu wasn't able to finish hes sentence as Garcila luven ran and shouted out to me.

"Kim!!"

"Kim!! Are you ok!?" He spoke with a concerned expression.

He began to help me stood up as he stared at me then to kwan jihu.

"Seems like you met Alex!" He spoke with a gentle smile.

'Why does this guy keep smiling..?'

I thought curiously.

"Alex..?" I mumbled.

Currently, Kwan jihu was named as Alexander Grace to students in the novel, but in reality, hes real name (on the inside) is kwan jihu.

"Yeah! This guy's name is alexander grace, also titled as the cold prince!" He chuckled.

Kwan jihu stared at him coldly and quietly.

"But don't be so scared of him tho! He is a nice guy despite being rumoured as a cold person."

'He is a cold person.. Sometimes hes nice only at rare times..'

I thought.

"So..You don't like the cafeteria?" He asked.

"Nope. Nah-Ah." I replied.

"Hm..Oh well suit yourself!" He spoke as he smiled.

Luven began to start walking inside the banquet while waving goodbye to me.

"Bye, kim! See you at our classroom!" He spoke.

I watched him slowly walk back to the high-ranking cafeteria as i slowly moved my head towars kwan jihu.

I stared at kwan jihu with the usual expressionless face, while my sweat began to drip.

"Uh..." I mumbled quietly.

Kwan jihu tsk before going to the cafeteria.

Then i began to wonder what he had said a few minutes ago.

'Meet at the back of the school..?' I thought.

Suddenly, My mind began to start making ideas if i dont meet him tomorrow.

'If i don't meet him tomorrow... Will he kill me!?' I thought anxiously.

'No..Will he bury me alive if he does!?' I thought another thought.. anxiously.

I shooked my head and began to remind myself that he wouldn't particularly do that.

The next day went by and the thoughts i had yesterday never went away.

Those thoughts had been haunting me the whole time yesterday, Despite that i was able to eat lunch with my friends late! Even my thoughts haunted me the whole entire night!!

I was tired from those thoughts, Didn't even get a wink of sleep because of it.

I yawned from the tiredness

And began to do the usual, except that i have to suffer going to my so-called new classroom and getting squashed by my classmates for long periods of time.

As i was about to go back to my dorm, A blue screen appeared right in front of me!

[ Hi Kim~ (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) ]

The system replied.

I was startled from the sudden appearance of the system but was able to speak back to it.

"Hi."

[ Where are you going? ]

The system asked.

"Im going back to my dorm..?"

I replied.

[ Aren't you supposed to meet with kwan jihu? ]

"..."

I was quiet for a while before panicking.

'I FORGOT!!!'

I thought as i ran in a panic to through the hallways.

'wait...'

I stopped for a moment.

'I forgot which place were supposed to meet!!'

I thought as i trembled to the ground.

[ Jeez... You're so forgetfull Kim! ತ⁠_⁠ತ ]

'....Can you tell me which place me and kwan jihu is supposed to meet..?' I asked politely to the system.

[ Kwan jihu said to meet at the school gates.. His still waiting for you. ] The system answered.

I ran frantically while thanking the system.

I ran through the hallways and then to the exist while holding a map on my right hand.

Finally, i was able to make it to the school gates.

I noticed kwan jihu was still waiting as he tapped on air.

I waved at him, signaling that im here.

"You're five minutes late." He spoke coldly like usual.

"...Sorry."

I mumbled silently.

I was a bit scared of him despite already knowing him already in the novel.. He wasn't so intimidating when i read the novel.

I stared at him expressionlessly for a while, waiting for him to speak.

"Remember what i told you when we had that conversation two days ago?" He spoke coldly.

"Erm.."

I muttered as i tried to remember the day we both had our conversation.

"I.. guess"

I Muttered to jihu.

"Will, I'm sure you already know about the celebration for our second semesters?"

"Ce..lebration..?" I tilted in confusion.

He began to move hes head like something appeared in front of him.. Maybe the system?

"You forgot didn't you?" He replied coldly.

I was a bit scared but quietly nodded.

He sighed and told me about the celebration of our second semester examinations.

"Right after the examinations, will be celebrating in a battle between the top classes in the school."

"That kind of celebration happens when the principal announces a battle for our last semesters.. but because of the incident of that banquet, that same principal decided to celebrate through battle for the second semester.. at least teaching the students to learn and get stronger through battle."

"The whole entire school will be attending it."

Kwan jihu spoke in a cold usual way.

I nodded silently and a bit confusingly as he spoke details of the plot.

"When is our celebration for our second semester..?"

I asked to jihu with the tip of my hair moving to a question-like mark.

"The school haven't announce it yet, but in the novel it will happen in the next two months."

"two months... Then, What am i supposed to do there?"

I asked to jihu curiously.

"Will meet here before the event will happen, and i'll tell you the plan."

"So in any case, You have to be prepared."

"Prepared..?"

Thats right, i haven't been able to test the new skills i have gotten from the system, Unlike being a healer, i could become somewhat useful if i become a hunter.

"I'll lend the system to help you."

[ I'm not just a system who only gives quests and replies! (⁠☞⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠☞ ]

The system replied in an excited way.

"Why can't you help me aswell?"

I asked to jihu with the usual confused look.

"It's a waste of time." He spoke coldly.

He began to leave out of the school gates before speaking in a aggressive tone.

"Prepare." He spoke coldly as he stared at me with hes cold-like eyes.

I watched him slowly walking to a different direction then turned to the system who was still replying in front of me.

[ He is usually like that! Don't worry you'll get used to it (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠) ]

The system replied.

I never really thought that i would be able to have a conversation with him twice this week.

I mean..The first one was a bit awkward but the second was surprisingly normal, to the fact that i wasn't much afraid of him anymore.

I was a bit relieved that i didn't die from a conversation like that.

I went back inside the school and walked through the hallways.

I went inside my dorm and sighed listlessly, almost forgetting what had just happened a few minutes ago.

'Alright then..Till the plot awaits...' I thought.
