General Xuan Zhen's Adventures in Twisted Wonderland (on hold)

Results of the Exams/the Suspension/Meeting Up with Azul

The next day, Mu Qing and his companions were standing in the hallway, staring at the results of the exam. Not that it bothered him at all, but it baffled him how a group of 30 students managed to have received 500 points. He recalled not one of them ever attending any study sessions or at the library. Even the teachers were both impressed and bewildered. Mu Qing pondered, "for some reason, we never saw them again for some time. Not in the cafeteria, not even in class again after the results of the Exams came..."

"Who cares, Mu Qing?" Grim cackled.

However, Ace, Grim, and Deuce were overjoyed to know that they had at least a 96 and 90 on their grades. Ace bragged, "haha! I got a 96 'cause I Aced it!"

Deuce growled, "celebrate, for now, Ace! I'll catch up to ya!"

Grim laughed, "haha! How can you?! I got a 90 while you have a plain ol' 83!"

Mu Qing said, "Xīn-xīng had become more adept at exercising his memory with the help of the increasing of his aura while reading after he mediated for the dedicated 2 hours, and then he ate like a starved maniac when he was done." Ace smirked at them, "looks I'm on my way of reaching to Qing's level. Bow to me!"

Mu Qing rolled his eyes, "you need more than just meditation and exercising to catch to me...you'll need an increased amount of time, years of it, to get your aura to boost up, Xīn-xīng and try to ease down that ego before you hurt yourself..."

Deuce gave him a determined look, "yeah, I'm gonna meditate for 4 hours and heighten my aura and get an even higher grade than you, Ace!"

Ace got up to his face, "oh, is that a challenge? Bring it, Deucey!" He wrestled with Deuce and tumbled down with Grim laughing out loud.

Grim was fired up, "don't boost your egos just yet 'cause I'll meditate for a whole day!"

Mu Qing loomed over, his eyes dull and glinting, and his voice dripping with a sardonic dribble, "Bèn Māo."

He sneered down, "Last time you did that, you gave up after 1 hour of not eating or resting. We ran out of chicken and pork that night and I had to restock on meats."

Ace and Deuce gave Grim a flat look who defended himself and said, "I didn't say I was going to do that day...just sometime this year!"

Mu Qing was about to leave the trio and head to the cafeteria when he saw the Leech Twins walk by.

They both gave him unsettling smiles and walked up to him, "Aah~Siren! Good afternoon! You're looking pretty as ever!"

Floyd wrapped an arm around his shoulders, ignoring his tiny growl "don't touch me without my permission!"

Jade smiled politely, "yes, I trust you are having a productive day?"

Mu Qing resisted gritting his teeth at their utter spurious manners.

If given a chance to meet with them, Qi Rong would probably be best friends with them with their eagerness to spread chaos and mayhem to others.

So he spoke as calmly as he could, "we just checked the results of the exams. I found it unusual how 30 students achieved 500 points." They smirked but Mu Qing decided to ignore it, "and I was about to meet up with Housewarden Leona for a chat at the cafeteria."

Floyd grinned, "oh, having a meeting, are we? What a coincidence! We were about to meet up with some people as well and they are to report to Azul."

He chuckled as Mu Qing scoffed, "Right...and here I thought you were heading to lunch."

Floyd's eyes widened in a way that grated on Mu Qing's nerves, "Oh, you were having lunch? Can we eat with you?"

Jade looked to Mu Qing, "Indeed. And might I add that you make such delectable food? Even the most talented chefs possibly couldn't hold a torch to you."
