Chapter 42: Pitiful Grin

"So how was your first course?" Cynthia asked me while taking a bite of her meal.

We were currently in the cafeteria after we finished our class with Colress. All of those who could be considered in my group were currently sitting here, with the notable exception of Clair, who was trying to sit the nearest from Lance's table, and Bea who stood right beside the War Archon.

As sad as I was that they decided not to stay with me, Cynthia told me to ignore them.

We didn't really learn new thing, we just had to finish the quiz he gave us, it wasn't hard at all for me, however, it didn't seem to be the same for my other classmate, as I heard them groan for the rest of the class...it was quite annoying.

"It was good." I lied as I looked at the meal with disdain in front of me, it was once again the concoction...and as much as I feared its taste, I knew it was really helpful, from the simple fact that my organs were working even better than when I was born. But the worst was probably Pandora gleefully feeding himself with his tenth poképuff already...I guess he's still angry about me ignoring him.

"Really? I thought my class was boring." She said after gulping down another part of her lunch. "The teacher took the whole class to explain why it is important to have a good understanding of every language before asking us which one already knew every language...of course I was among the very few who did knew them all...and also that wasn't an Archon, proving once more my superiority." She put on a haughty air as she put her hand on her chest.

"Oh really? Then that means four people in this table can speak every language! We're the perfect team ever!" Iono exclaimed in joy, but it made Cynthia curious.

Her first reaction was to look toward Sabrina, who obviously nodded before she could even ask the question.

Not looking surprised by her answer, she proceeded to look at me instead. "You master other languages Luciel? I didn't know that."

I stopped fixing Pandora to look at her instead. "My progenitor told me that if I wanted my life to have any worth, then I should help him traduce for everyone. Most of the inhabitants came from multiple countries, so we always had communication issues...and I was the one sent to resolve it...they never seemed grateful..."

"...oh...well at least now you can use that skill for your own interest!" Cynthia reassured me before watching the rest of the group to find out who was the other person who mastered another language.

Her eye ended up on Allister, but he shook his head rapidly. "I'm only good at translating between living and death...I'm not great enough to go beyond that...oh, and I guess I can translate Sabrina for Luciel...but anyone can do that." He said in sadness while taking a bite out of his meal.

"...oh, then who?"

"Of course it can only be the brightest lightbulb that ever existed! Iono!" Iono rose from her chair in excitement, so I proceeded to clap my hands to assist her...

*Clap clap*

"Mhh mhh. Please calm your excitement dear public! Your hand will bleed if you clap every time you notice how bright I am! It's normal after all that I kept my standard to such a high level, otherwise how will I be able to talk to my fan who covers the entire world!" Despite saying that, Iono still kept her smug face, which started to annoy Cynthia.

"By Arceus, didn't you receive enough compliments for the day? Do you need more?!"

Iono stopped her show and looked at Cynthia in surprise. "What do you mean?"

Even Mina came back to her senses as she looked at Cynthia in wonder.

Cynthia looked in shock from the sudden focus she gained, but she easily regained her demeanour and started to elaborate. "Didn't your teacher also keep blabbering about how awesome we will be, and that to reach these expectations we had to work our best like we always did, then something about friendship? Sincerely, the thing I truly deserved to be praised for at this moment was my ability to stay awake!" She said with an annoyed face as she spiked her food with her fork multiple times.
