Kyle was standing inside the bathroom as he looked at his reflection in the water.
His gaze darted at his head as he grabbed the corner of his hair with a nonchalant expression.
“My hair is still black.”
He wiped his hair and body with a towel and wore a long-sleeve pale blue shirt with grey pants.
After the practical exam, he didn’t do anything and just stayed inside his room with Bia for the whole day. Today the first-year classes were finally starting again that’s why he woke up early. In the evening he had to go to the library to take lessons about Arrays.
After wearing clothes, he left the bathroom and looked at the wrinkled blanket on the bed.
“Bia let’s leave. It’s time for class.”
He removed the blanket and poked at Bia who had become too lazy recently because of him.
“Tsk, I think I need to dip you in water.”
Bia shivered as she remembered what happened yesterday. The devil Kyle suddenly thought she was too dirty and made her take a bath.
-‘You! I told you I didn’t like cold water.’
Bia cried out and instantly left the bed. She fluffed up and shook her red feathers before flying around Kyle.
Kyle chuckled when he saw her becoming more and more like a bird.
Both of them left the room together and Kyle knocked on Nine door but no one replied.
He blinked his eyes.
“Where is he? Just yesterday he was pestering me to come out…”
Kyle knocked again but after getting no response he left the building heading straight toward the classroom. His question was soon answered when he neared the class building.
A black-haired old man was standing in front of a group of students with a frown. He was giving them a lecture with an angry expression.
Kyle raised his brow seeing two familiar faces among the group. First was Blane and second was Nine.
Nine was alright because he was wearing a neat shirt but Blane and the trio standing beside him didn’t look good at all.
Their clothes were wrinkled and drenched with sweat. Even their breathing was shallow as they tried to stand firmly in front of the old man.
A small crowd of first-year students was standing a little further from the old man. They were laughing and whispering among themselves.
Kyle neared the crowd of students and tapped someone’s shoulder with a curious look.
“Huh?”
The Olive-haired student suddenly turned around with annoyance but when he saw Kyle’s face his eyes instantly lit up.
“Classmate Kyle!”
His voice was too loud and the students standing beside him gazed at him with raised brows before spotting Kyle.
“It’s Kyle! Look the famous bird beast is flying around him!”
“Damn! Why is he here did he find out we were bad-mouthing him?”
They whispered among themselves and some of them even stepped back fearing that maybe Kyle heard them when they were badmouthing him.
Kyle wanted to face palm he just wanted to inquire what was happening from the olive-haired boy but now the whole crowd was staring at him.
He cleared his throat and stepped back with a polite smile.
“I just wanted to know what’s happening there?”
He pointed at the old man and the group of students who were getting scolded.
The olive-haired boy smiled when he heard Kyle. He was thinking of befriending the latter because he was one of the people who admired Kyle for his hard work and determination. Even though Kyle’s talent was low he was rivaling Alec who was above his league. That’s why the olive-haired boy inspired Kyle as his role model.
Well, no one knew what would be his thoughts if he knew how much Kyle ‘worked hard’.
“Classmate, my name is Tray. Let me tell you what’s happening.”
Tray explained everything he knew. How Nine slipped out from the Academy even though he was banned by the Elders and how Blane and his group helped Nine even after knowing the consequences.
Blane and his group were punished yesterday but Nine just arrived back today morning that’s why he was now getting scolded by the old man.
Kyle blinked his eyes after hearing the explanation.
-‘You sure Blane helped him. Why do I feel like he was tricked by Nine?’
Bia’s voice resounded inside Kyle’s head.
‘You are just feeling, knowing his personality I am one hundred percent sure he tricked Blane.’
Kyle suppressed his laughter and thanked Tray before walking toward the building. Tray and another black-haired boy followed behind him.
While he was walking he gazed and Nine and to his surprise the latter was looking at him with a begging expression.
Nine cried out inwardly.
‘Help me, bro!’
It had been an hour he had been listening to the old man. Now even his ears had given up!
Kyle smirked and turned around without even sparing him another glance. Bia who was flying above Kyle also looked at Nine expression. She gave him a pitiful glance and laughed inwardly while following behind Kyle.
Bia looked at Tray and the black-haired boy following Kyle before finally landing on top of Kyle’s head while stretching her wings.
-‘Aren’t you going to help Nine?’
‘No, he needs to suffer a little. Senior Blane and his friends were punished because of him.’
Kyle chuckled and after walking inside the building for a while he appeared in front of a familiar classroom.
He pushed the door and entered inside. More than half of the chairs were empty but the ones present inside became quiet for a few seconds when Kyle entered the room.
“Kyle!”
Kyle heard a familiar voice and looked at the rows of chairs.
Carcel was waving at him from the second row. He was sitting alone because Alec hadn’t arrived yet.
With a smile, Kyle sat beside him. After a few minutes, a lot of students entered the classroom. Soon, Alec, Lara, and Mia also arrived.
When the class was filled with students a dejected brown-haired boy entered the classroom with slumped shoulders.
Nine wiped his nonexistent tears and glared at Kyle and Carcel. They both saw him being scolded but they didn’t help him!
With a grumpy expression, he sat in the front row with Alec instead of Kyle.
Kyle gazed at Nine and just shrugged his shoulders with a smirk.
