Chapter 41: Weakness (2)

It was quite late when the birthday party for Principal Bins started It was supposed to be at eight o' clock but it started around nine-thirty The guests, although

Some of these elders were leaders from different academies―the Headmasters of Prum, the former Headmaster of Salem which recently closed down, the Headmaster of Boran and lastly, the Headures from Hesperia

But this gathering was no longer the same with the previous one wherein ht were more particular; the dinner was fewer but finer andfelt more exclusive and exorbitant

I sat quietly at our table, placed near the corner, together with the whole group The tables and chairs were covered with a siold silk The seats were arranged in a winding circle from the center of the spacious hall

My dress tonight wasflohite, al up, the hem flew freely It reminded me of those dresses for the summer by the store in town

But the shoes were of different issue While waiting for the start, I quickly re and laid them on the floor, below our table

We're the only students on this occasion It seeroup—to be invited to exclusive gatherings like this As a consequence, it's inevitable that the visitors’ attention will be focused on us

I knew the issue abouttitan Academy had no particular impact with theinally one of the roup because for them, an enemy simply was an eneood opportunity to study our levels

The competition has not even started yet and they already act like that

“The Head at us” Commented Luna

Everyone on the table had paused Ethan and Cain cut their silent talk; Victoria even actually looked at the person Luna was referring to However, Gin still hadn't said anything from when he arrived He just sat there opposite to h he was in a deep-rooted thought

“Maybe he’s wondering who’s who” Victoria replied while turning her eyes back to the group “Who’s the Captain, who’s the defenses—to let his students knoho they should target first”

Ethan nodded “At this time of the Gaet an advantage”

I sneakily observed the guy Luna was referring to He's a Headmaster after all—he's in the late forties, but still, he looked younger in several years to Headmaster Gray

I was about to retractHe was looking precisely at nition in his eyes I was surprised

Did he know me?

If the h the hall he wouldn't take his attention froaited the woman with him—probably his wife

Thesimilar with Principal Bins' taste But I couldn't calm down because of him Some visitors already walked to the center of the hall to dance, whileat that person

Have I―seen him before?

Suddenly, a tuxedo blockedto find the Headuy spoke

“Daaanored me, you know that?”

I got distracted when I realized whose voice was that Autolare shot from my eyes when I looked up the tall and handsome man in front of me

There’s no doubt about it Gin’s brother is hot—but fucking insane

A snide smirk was immediately plastered on his face “Better” He muttered

I rolled my eyes at him Whatever

I ignored hihed atseverely amused Suddenly, his face became serious then he laid out his hand in front of me

“May I have this dance, Miss Sheridan?”

I looked up at hione insane While frolimpse of Gin He suddenly stiffened—his jaas clenched Priam, on the other hand, stared ats for my answer I breathed deeply, annoyed on the scene he was trying to make

“N—”

Suddenly, I was startled to see the eyes looking at us People around came interested with our conversation Who wouldn't? It’s Priam Gray, a former Captain, a victory holder, a Headmaster’s son

Great thinking, Priam I silently cursed when I realized what he wanted to happen I couldn't do anything but wore my shoes back froed to smile at her to assure that it’s perfectly fine withfrom where I was
