Chapter 21 (1/2)

A storraduation The students had 2 years to prove themselves to be better than Isaac Students ere never expected to graduate before Isaac raduate in the next 2 or 3 years were stunned At first, they denied the reality, but they soon changed heart and began to study as if their lives were on the line

While the College fell into a frenzy for graduation, Isaac was having the best tie were to see hieance with blood in their eyes

“It’s a quiet night for once”

Isaac muttered to himself as he looked out theThe sea, which sat beyond his , could not be seen through the veil of the night It was ht of the new moon, and Isaac was alone for once Reisha and Kunette refrained fro the port, as they noticed that the atitated – even hostile

“I’m damn lucky to be able to smoke like this”

The rooentle lullaby froed like the Milky Way in the sky, like the powder of geet even Isaac eht now”

Watching the et wasted But with Rivelia on constant vigil in search for any excuse to bring justice on Isaac, bringing in alcohol was soht like this, you’d at least need so away the burnt cigarette out the , he grabbed the instruain He was starting to get bored of fishi+ng After a long ti the options as to what he could waste time with, he decided to learn how to playlike a saxophone which held the ie of masculinity, but this world didn’t have any instru like a piano, but bringing it over would have been troubleso that was easily portable He ended up with an instrument that was similar to a violin

Naeneral Even if there was a difference, Isaac would never have noticed since he’d never held a violin in his life

Finding someone to teach him was an easy task as he made a suitable payment for some of the students in the arts depart to learn from the basics up, but there was a problem Isaac didn’t have talent for music He was in fact, horrendous

Screech! Screek! Screech!

Isaac played his instrument as if he was the lead of the orchestra, but all that was co a blackboard He had learnt the basic notes and was playing a children’s hymn intended for the newest learners, but the result was a symphony of torture

Isaac was only satisfied after finishi+ng his encore

“In a dreae, I stand on the front to play ood I’d bet if there was a girl here she’d be all over ing out ludicrous praises for himself, he threw the instrument onto his desk and jumped onto his bed His breaths became shallow and then turned to a snore as he entered a deep sleep

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a lunatic in ht that was just an act of taunt after spotting us I wasto kill hian to rise fro to each other

“Is that the so called Isaac I’ve been hearing lately?”

Tens of people who had gotten up to the port hurried theed roup muttered, his second-in-command nodded

“Yes That’s why these kids who hate physical labour are so ed roup with an ominous stare Each person flinched whenever their eyes ht that their rew up frouess despite what you look, you lot still have some pride inside”

“They can rades fro instead”

“I guess I’d feel quite unfair too if I was on the receiving end”

The agents who had lined up see this, but it soon turned upside dohen the ain

“Since it’s come to this, we should use this situation to its fullest”

“How so?”

“What if he actually beco like he’s one?”

“Kukuku That’d be a sight to see I’ht?”

“But if we did that now, the Caine that myself Is there some way to make it happen?”

“We can si it now”

“Oh! A splendid answer!”

The ed man seemed to be pleased with his second-in-command, while the students ere lined behind him despaired as to what had happened

“Hm? Do you feel cheated?”

Of course they felt cheated Skipping grades in College wasn’t so talented It was only achieved by co all of the year’s task before the year finished

The College’s basic curriculuned for 15 years of study And this wasn’t just a leisurely study schedule, but one that would kill an ordinary rades despite the harsh curriculuoing to get the sa around for 5 years

“They look like they’ll coive him 5 stars”

“Huh? Five stars?”

Even the ed man seemed surprised, while all the students were shocked as if they’d been struck by lightning

“He’s a five-star since he graduated in 5 years right?”

“H too far?”

There was a glied ainst it, maybe it would not come to pass

“What difference would it make anyway, since we split who is Sunbae and Hubae based on which year they graduated”

“You have a point Fine, proceed as you said”

The look on the students only sunk deeper into depression as the reement

“But will Duke Corduroy let this come to pass?”

“Ah, don’t worry about it He’d been receiving requests from those in the field of operations for hted to hear about this”

“The probleht”

Flinch!

Theeyes

“I’ this just to make sure so shut up and listen If this decision is to leak beyond the College, then the Central will remove your existence in its entirety Not just you but your faht?”

All the students quivered at the ed man’s blackmail These students who had been handpicked after limpse at the truth of this world Fame and riches were to follow, but it came with heavy responsibility

The students replied by saluting at the ht hand on their left chest

Rivelia’s Scheme

As the day reached noon, Isaac realised he no longer needed to perforht Rivelia would continue her pestering hatever excuse she could find, but she had strangely confined herself in the College Kunette and Reisha found it difficult to come to the port because of the hostility froer there to bother him for food, Isaac was free to visit the cafeteria instead

With his hands in his pockets andthe streets, but those who saw hiht and made no attempt to talk with him
