Chapter 9: What Just Happened?!
This time, a lot of thoughts were coursing through Cail's mind. No need to analyze them one by one because they all circled around the same thing.
'What do you call a person who can jinx things just by their thoughts? An upgraded version of a crow mouth. Probably a crow mind right?'
Cail felt that he should stop his brain from wandering sometimes, because the moment he thought of "as long as they didn't ask him to demonstrate anything." They really are now asking him to demonstrate.
His most hated person now, Hal, suddenly opened his mouth the moment Neris finished explaining his artifact.
"Sir... To be fair, why don't you show us your artifact? In that way, our artifact briefing will be more meaningful with a real-life example," Hal said innocently. It wasn't convincing at all, at least in Cail's perspective.
Cail narrowed his eyes. Whether that question was intentional or not, he hated this guy. Actually, he hated all of them, but this one really struck a nerve. Probably because he resembled the eldest of his step-siblings?
No matter what the reason was, he hates rich kids who seemed to have won the lottery jackpot the moment they were born. Unfair.
Cail tilted his head, his body bending forward towards Hal, attempting to provoke him,said, "Obviously... But I won't show it to you. So what are you gonna do about it? Cry to your parents?"
Cail isn't the smartest, but he's very good at reading social cues and analyzing behavior. This group of students acted like they were treading on thin ice around him. Cail concluded that the temper of those teachers in that school wasn't the best.
Hal looked at Cail that was asking for beating and almost choked from frustration, seeing that the young master's face is turning bad, Idris pinched him on his side.
Hal got Idris signal, he took a deep breath to calmed himself down.
