I Don’t Want This Bad Ending

Chapter 52: Chalk head~



Chapter 52: Chalk head~

***

EVELYN stares at the crystal stone, it gives a bright carnation yellow. The symbol of wind attribute.

As expected, Gil made the effort to hide the other mana manifestation that I have within me. Now, he only needs to change my mana capacity...

She looked at the examiner, who wasn't paying attention to the crystal stone. She beseeches him to do his work.

"Can you check the result?"

While doing so, she asks Gil in his conscious about her mana capacity.

"Gil... Are you done? Did you make it?"

"... Child, there seems to be a problem!"

"Huh? What is it?"

She panicked inside as the examiner checked his chart to grasp her mana capacity.

"...child, the thing is..."

But before Gil can give his explanation, the examiner beat him to it, and he yelled loudly.

"La-Lady Evelyn, Wind magic... MIDDLE TIER?!"

*Gasp!

"I-is that true?!"

"Thank heavens! We got another genius!"

"Our wind department will have a new star..."

The magic professor that is observing by the side, gape open wide in admiration as another youngling have a huge mana capacity that doesn't belong to their age.

But Evelyn wasn't happy with that.

"Gil!!!!!! What happen?!!!!!" She screamed inside as the result wasn't like her expectation.

Gil just answers nonchalantly.

"Child, I told you... There was a tiny winy problem that I face while doing your rush request!"

"What? Why? What seems to be wrong?!" She asked in bewilderment.

"Your mana capacity seems to be at its peak! And because you only give me a limited time to fake your result. I can only reduce it to one level."

She sighs. Even she can't do much if his contracted spirit says that it was impossible to reach the lower tier within a few minute's time.

"I guess that's it huh. I'm just awesome that even you can't handle it. Okay... Thanks for the help, Gil."

"...hm." He hummed. He doesn't want to respond to his shameless contractor.

While she was busy accepting the result, behind her we're the young nobles who are shocked by the result.

"Did she really becomes a middle-tier magician?"

"Isn't her mana suppose to be dung?!"

"...shhh! Language! Don't be so loud! She will hear you."

Yeah... I can hear you!

Evelyn listens to the gossips while the examiner is busy writing in his chart.

Meanwhile, the talks below start to become out of hand.

"But her family abandoned her because of her mana right?"

"Pfft... Maybe the examiner read it wrong. How can that girl be in the middle tier?!"

"What a joke! It's not possible. Her mana is at the lowest of low. How can she ascend in a just a couple of years?"

The noble boys and girls are busy slandering Evelyn, who in the past year, is in the center of attention because of the sudden engagement with the Crown Prince.

Evelyn turns her head around and glares at the gossipers who don't know to shut their mouths. She's still a member of the Emsworth family. A military Dukedom, the family's influence is still at its peak.

She can do this much. Although she does not care about their petty whispers, she doesn't prefer it either to be the talk of the town.

Evelyn sighs again.

There is still also the hearsay about the Duke requesting a cancellation of the engagement, that until today hasn't been cleared if it is true, as she is still a candidate for the position of Crown Princess.

This adds to fire to the circulating rumors that the Royal Family was the one who pushed the engagement.

'Hah... Really?! Though it's true, these petty nobles don't have anything to do, they really just know how to gossip!' She silently thought. She breathes the air in surrender.

The examiner then announced her result.

"Lady Evelyn from the house of Emsworth is hereby accepted to the magic department specializing in wind attribute. You may take your brooch that symbolizing your department. Also, you can have your detailed class subjects to the head department."

She leans into a bow gracefully to the examiner. Seeing that she's well mannered, the examiner smiles widely.

***

After Evelyn's evaluation, it was Gab who went to the center stage.

While he is taking his time walking straight to the platform, someone stands beside Evelyn.

"Greetings, Lady Evelyn."

She turns her head to him. And she saw a silver head dude, it's Cabel.

*sigh~

'What is it now?!' She complained in her head.

"Greetings too, Lord Cabel." He grins at the bored expression of her.

"I heard about your result..."

".. ."

"... Who would have thought, that the famous Lady Evelyn of the Emsworth household, who is known to have crap mana is in Middle-tier now?" He giggles after expressing his thoughts.

'What is this hostility from him?' She thought as his words were full of malice.

"I wouldn't believe it too..." He continued and Evelyn sneer.

"Ha...I don't have time for your petty taunts. Unlike someone who only knows how to play with fire, I was busy with myself."

'I don't have time for this...' Evelyn thought at she's watching Gab from afar.

He laughs at her.

"Well, at least I'm not playing with my own subject..."

At what he said, he stares at the stage, while the examiner was saying the result of Gab.

"Sir Gab, umm... Fire attribute. Lower tier!"

With the yelled result, Cabel moves his head to face Evelyn. His expression turned grim and he looks at her with displeased.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" She answered while her face was full of disturb at the accusation that she heard for the first time.

".. ."

"Excuse me? Chalk head?!"

"Wh-what? Chalk head?" He stammered. It's the first time someone insults his beautiful shining silver hair.

"Yeah chalk head Lord Cabel! Did you just accuse me of flirting with my aide? My Gab?!...My personal knight?! This is absurd!" She continued her complaint, she turns to leave but her hand was clutch by his.

"...M-Y G-A-B? Look at you. I may be playing with fire, but aren't we the same?"

Evelyn tugged her arms to his grip, she's so angry, she spat words with animosity and gritted teeth.

"HE is MY subject, so he's MINE. That's why I can call him "MY", on the other hand, what's that got to do with you?!"

At her finished words, the two are garnering an audience and at the perfect time, Gab appeared in front of them.

He went in between them, trying to break the icy atmosphere.

"Get away from her." Cable said in a whisper, but his tone sends chills to the spine.

"I'm sorry, Lord Cabel. Eve- I mean Lady Evelyn is tired..."

He looks at the surroundings to signal to Cabel that they are gaining attention.

"... So, We will take our leave..."

Cabel clicked his tongue and glare at Gab.

Gab just looked back at him with his stern face that he learned from watching the stone face duke.

After that, he leans into a bow, and both parties move in the opposite direction.

The assessment is not yet done, and there is also the speech of the student government body.

Gab narrowed his eyes and it turns into a frown. While Evelyn has the look of an angry bull, stomping her feet away from the scene.

'I knew that aura...!' Gab concluded.

"So he's the one who was looking persistently at Eve."

At the mention of her name, she looks up to him.

"Did you say something, Gab?"

"No... by the way, Eve."

"What?!" She answered hastily.

"Did you have something with that Sigrid heir?"

He's talking about Cabel, who looks at him with malice.

"What something?! That annoying "bug" only knew how to irritate me."

"No... What I mean, did you have a relationship with him? Like a close friend or something?"

"Ha! Me? A friend with that "chalk-head" sh*t? Don't joke with me."

"Sh*t? What is sh*t?" He asked her.

"What? Oh... Nevermind that, why did you ask?"

Her fume subsided as his knight ask what sh*t means.

'I mean I can tell him what it means but... Nah! I don't need to dirty my Gab's ear.' She complimented herself after deciding to end the subject.

"By the way, Eve. Stay away from that guy!"

"Don't worry, that sh*~... I mean I also don't want to associate myself with him..."

"... Also, his one of the male leads." She said silently.

With that, the sudden turmoil was wrapped up and buried in the depths of Evelyn's memory.

***

"... As this is your first academic year. There will be an examination of every class that you want to partake in case you want to have additional classes aside from your main specialty..."

The headmaster said. As he was giving his speech in front of the freshmen body and the sophomores.

"... With that I welcome everyone that is here today. May the sun guides your path."

*clap *clap *clap

After the headmaster's speech, a black hair dude with glasses approach the center stage and announced the next appointment. It was the student council president.

'Huh? It's not the Crown Prince?' Evelyn was confused.

"You can now proceed to your respective guides, the sophomores will be your guardian for half a year. They will give you the answers that you want. Okay. Meeting adjourned."

And with that, the new students scattered to find their new guardians.
