TRAVEL

Chapter 8

“You”re such a baby, come back! Di kanaman nasaktan eh! You are great. ” Jayden’s complaint to the brother

“No f*****g thanks, I know you’re not an archery expert.” – Jasper

“So I’m practicing, right?” ���Jayden

“Did you forget that time you accidentaly hit big brother”s leg?” Jayden shook his head at Jasper’s story. “I remembered it so nope, no thanks! I don”t have any deathwish at the moment. ”

They started quarreling again because Jayden really wanted to learn archery. I just hold the quiver filled with arrows.

“Vanderwaine, Harisson- I mean Jayden and Jasper.” We were distracted when Sir Leo spoke.

“Come with me.”

“So how was your training?” sir’s kind question as we just followed him to where we were going.

“I almost died.” Jasper joked.

“Haha, your sister’s good at positioning her body though.” We all fell silent when we heard that.

He knew? How? I thought I’m the only one?

“Now, now. I know everything about you all. ” Smiling she said. “I was surprised I had two female students, and I was more surprised that they know how to fight. Like I said before, gender doesn”t define your power and skills. ”

We just quietly listened to him. I saw Jayden bow, so I tapped her shoulders and whispered ���its ok” to her.

“My wife’s a Knight too you know.” We all looked at him.

“Re-really?” Jayden asked.

“Of course, I met her in the battlefield. Sadly she passed away, she died protecting our land and I wasn”t even there for her. ” Sir’s sad storytelling. “So that is why I decided to teach students instead, she loves children.”

We just kept quiet, tsk we walked for a long time. Where are we going?

We stopped at a large doorway in a building. I think we”re in the Political Building right now.

“Astraea your righting moves were really familiar, did you get that from your father?” Sir Leo suddenly asked, I immediately stared at him.

“You knew my father?” we were still outside the big door, I waited for Sir Leo to answer.

“Of course, we were on the same batch. He was the Top 1 and everyone adored him, especially your mother. ” He answered with a wink. I would have asked more questions because he had already opened the door.

He let us in and there I saw Alistair inside, with Graige and some dude with blonde hair that I didn”t know. Who’s that? There were also a teacher with them.They were talking about something, it looks like they were arguing.

“You punched the tree because you were bored ?!” the female teacher shouted. “What kind of reason is that? And you two didn”t stop him? ”

“I’m tired.” Graige replied

“I was suppose to. But he might end up killing me so, Nah. ” Said when turned blonde. Who the heck is this guy? I never seen him in my life, just now really even in my previous life.

“Give me one valid reason why he did that?” I saw the blonde guy smiled and answered.

“You know teach, it was this girl-” Alistair grabbed collar.

“Hey Mariam, we’ve been here before.” They stopped what they were doing, Alistair looked at me with a surprised look like he didn”t know I”d arrive. “Quit scolding them.”

The female teacher just sighed. “This troublesome- I’ll remember you sooner.”

We saw that Sir Leo and the female teacher had a conversation so we just silently looked at them.

“The prince punched the tree-”

“Shhh- your blabbering, maybe you’ll be the one to be punched by that eh worry.” Jayden hushed Jasper, Jasper looked scared of Alistair so he just pouted.

The three on the opposite side of us were also quiet, Alistair was giving the blonde guy some death stare while Graige looks sleepy. Sir Leo was still talking to her, and my foot began to numb.

“Well kids, take a seat.” The female teacher said that we immediately followed. Tas he confronted Alistair. “And you three, I”m not done talking to you. Meet me after this meeting. ”

“Tsk why am I involved? I didn’t punch then! ” complaint nung blonde guy.

“Shut up.”

We have all settled down. Earlier we were really quiet, it feels awkward or something. I didn”t look to Alistair”s side… I just don”t know why.

“So we’re all here today, to start a student council” Sir began.

What? Student council ?! This didn”t even happen before!

“This is so we can discipline students inside the school.” Sir added. “Thank you Graige for suggesting such a wonderful idea, and the owner approved of it too.”

Graige looked at me right away, did he ?! He suggested forming a student council ?! What does he know about this though ?! He is so lazy.

I thought to myself, this didn”t happen in my batch in my previous life. EVER. Student council was created when we already graduated in this school, so why did Graige suggest that ?! Didn”t he know there was a lot of work to be done? Like school activities, parties and events? A princess told me in my previous life that being a student council is really hard.

We already have trainings, we even have a student council. On top of that I think Alistair is going to be in this council too.

“Graige also suggested that we should choose students that are one of the tops this year.” Jasper scratched his head.

“Top? Sir isn’t there only one top 1 in every course right? Why are we involved? ” Jasper asked, “June here is enough as the top student in knighthood course.”

I heard the blonde guy whistle, Alistair immediately kicked him.

“You three are one of the top students in Knighthood course, we can’t choose who will be the top 1 so we decided to choose all of you since you three are the only students that has potential in my course.” Sir Leo explained.

“Well same as my political course, there are two students that always tops my subject.” A teacher replied. “I forgot to introduce myself. I am Teacher Mariam from the Political course, I am their adviser. Alistair still takes the lead at top-

“How can I beat this guy who has all of the brains? It’s even stronger. ” sabat nung naka blonde.

“Shut up, they’re still talking.” ���Alistair

Idk if that was a compliment but maybe? But seriously though, who is this blonde dude. I hadn’t seen him on any course before. Only Alistair is the top student in the political course in my previous life.

“Then the top student of the Magical course, he”s the only one who tops his own course. His teacher isn”t around here yet because there is a problem with their course building. ” Sir explained.

“The incident that happened in the Magical course is also the reason why we decided to accept Graige’s offer.” We looked at Teacher Mariam questionably.

“What happened?” I asked.

“Graige, explain-“No, I”m tired. Teacher Merlin asked me to clean the whole room yesterday that I didn”t get enough sleep. ” Graige”s complaint and isn”t he disrespecting the teachers too much? Teacher Mariam sighed.

“There was a robbery incident that happened in the magical course tower.”

“What? Did that happen yesterday? ” Alistair suddenly asked. Alistair confronted the sleepy Graige, he gave him a ���what-happened-look”

“We’re not sure when that happened but that room was off limits because there were poisons and potions stored there.” ���Teacher Mariam.

“No one knew until Merlin decided to get some potions for his experiment. When he entered, there were broken potion bottles and potions and poisons were missing. ” – Sir Leo

“The bottles that were stolen aren’t named yet and they were also not sure what they were for.”- Teacher Mariam. “And Merlin is the only one who knew what the potions were for, but he kind of forgot.”

“Yeah because he’s already too old.” Graige’s comment. This expressionless bastard-

“So we decided to create a student council to prevent such incidents again.” Jayden and Jasper and I just looked at each other.

“What are we going to do as a student council though?” Alistair asked, I just stared at him for some second. He”s handsome and hot as ever- I mean ano… basta.

“You will all be in charge if there are events that happen, don”t worry this will give you more bonus for your points. This won”t affect your activity in school. ” As explained by Sir Leo.

“Of course we”re here to guide you all since this is the first time there is a student council in our school. Of course Alistair will be your leader. ”

Ugh, of course he is. Now we can no longer avoid not meeting every day.

“Now boys, introduce yourselves. I want your full name do you understand? ” promise of Sir Leo.

The three of them stood up. Jayden suddenly grabbed my hand, I think she”s afraid to introduce herself. I heard a loud thud in Alistair’s band

“Aray naman eh!” complaint nung blonde. “I’m not the one who blew- Araaayyy.”

“Boy’s I won’t repeat myself” the blonde dude was silenced when he complained when Sir gave them a warning.

“Graige Sebastian Borne from the Magical course. Call me Gray please. ” Said Gray as he straightened his long hair.

“Hey! I”m Karston Cohl Sage from the Political course! Call me Art, and nice to meet ya! ” he greeted us warmly.

“Alistair Lament, Political course.” Alistair’s brief greeting. Jayden tightened his grip on me, she”s so nervous right now I can feel it.

“Your turn.”

We stood together.

“The name”s Cleo Jasper Harrison from the Knighthood department. I prefer if you call me Jasper, Cleo is just weird. ” Jasper’s start.

Jayden just leaned over while holding onto my arm, I hold her hand. I feel like someone is staring massively at me when I hold Jayden’s hand. I just shrugged it off and spoke.

“Juniper Astraea Vanderwaine from the Knighthood course, call me June. Nice to meet you all. ” I see Jasper tapping his sister”s shoulders. Jayden was still bent over but he let go of my hand.

“C-Clea Jayden Harrisson.” Jayden said shyly. “P-please call me Jayden.” Tas bowed repeatedly. The massive stare went down when Jayden introduced herself. Who’s that? The presence is very intense.

We continue discussing about something and then decided to go back to our dorms since late. We didn’t realize that it was afternoon, it was time to go home. Sir leo said we”ll be meeting every weekend for an ididiscuss.

We all agreed to that and got rid of it. Jasper and Jayden and I went to the dorm together. Jayden went to the bathroom to change a napkin while me and Jasper just waited for her outside. Then suddenly the blonde dude showed up.

“Hey Jasper! Wanna go by at the lake tonight? ” The blonde said enthusiastically- I mean Art.

“What? What are you going to do? ” Art laughed and slapped Jasper’s back, feeling close amp.

“Take a bath of course! No one really knows don since it’s behind the Magical Course building. Alistair and Gray are with us. ” Smiling she said. “Your twin can come-

“My twin is a girl.” Jasper said rudely.

“HAHA Just a joke of course” he laughed out loud. “Too bad Gray really wants to see her.”

“What-

“Hey June wanna come? It”ll be fun! ” when he invites me.

“Uh no thanks, I’m busy.” I refused.

“Oh dear, just Jasper. Come later! ” Moreover, Art left. He seems active and energetic in socializing. We had just met so much talk.

Jasper and I just sighed, Jayden came out and we went home to his dorms. Jayden stays at the boy”s dorm, the room in our dorm is said to be the same size so it fits the two of them very well. I insist that maybe she”ll stay with me instead in case she doesn”t want to because there is no one to wash her brother”s clothes.
