Masquerade

Chapter 18: The First Chapter

" Yukiko, calm down! You don't have to push yourself hard like that!"

" Yukiko, stop! Stop right now! That is enough! Eat first and you can study at any time!"

The sound from room F-225 from the Flower Department was so loud and clear that other rooms from all of the buildings could hear clearly what they were talking about. While half of the other rooms came to see what was going on, the others chose to ignore it and went away, although fortunately, fifteen minutes later, everything went smoothly, and we had to apologize for the inconvenience.

" I have to study hard, I am not going to and can not lose this!"

" But you don't have to be too pressured to yourself like that! Take a rest and have breakfast!"

" I can't believe what I have studied since today!"

" Me neither! But don't care about it and take a rest first!"

After ten minutes of going home, both Shiuhua and Cheol Hwa could not believe what they were seeing like a mess. Two people were screaming and arguing with each other. Nicolas was trying to push Yukiko out of the chair, while the other was trying to sit tightly to finish the exercises.

" What happened?!"

" Oh! Hyung, Gege! Welcome home!" I was so focused that I did not notice someone behind us.

" How long have you been?! Get over here and HELP!" Nicolas pushed his friend with a strong force, despite not wanting to.

A few minutes later, they had breakfast without any damage, although there was. Seeing their worries made me regret not making myself well in front of them.

" What happened?" Cheol Hwa asked both of us.

I initially denied all of their questions, only to be fearful of their demonic eyes. Knowing that I could not lie, I had no choice but to reveal my score in front of them. Unknown to all of us who had no idea what we would learn and as soon as we found out what it was, the course I was taking had already been the school subject. I explained to them my current status as according to the teacher, my subject's grade was so bad that I had to take a make-up class for improvement. No matter how I tried, the score was already at the lowest point which was a sheer shame that I had to self-study for the sake of my high grade.

" That course is not that difficult." Cheol Hwa said happily.

" But not to me." I replied sadly.

" How old are you?" Shiuhua wondered.

" Physically?" I asked clearly and received a nod. I initially thought that the course was easy for me to learn. But it turned out that I regretted not studying from the beginning like my siblings. "Six. Physically and mentally." I answered, which was the truth and I had never thought of it. I closed my eyes, thinking about being judged by the seniors who had had experiences.

" In Himemiya, children studying at the extreme levels are normal." Surprisingly, they never judged my aging issue. Even Sakutaro, who assisted me with the course also had the same thought, as he explained clearly. " Besides, I think that you should experience more than in houses."

" The score, in my opinion, was not that bad." Cheol Hwa skimmed my score paper and assessed me. " But that is not enough, based on our experience, this course needs more training, not just any theories."

" I see. But I think I need help... Can you help me with the course?" I asked.

" Of course. I will you whenever you need me." Said Cheol Hwa happily, raising the spirit I had tried to hide from them for weeks. I did not believe that I would have a friend as a tutor.
