Chapter 27

Luke felt his headache getting worse these days as he couldn't sleep from stress and other things. Especially just thinking about the relationship between his childhood friend and the school tyrant. He would go abroad at the time being and the contest could take him months.

He doesn't live in the dorms as he doesn't like sharing his space with other people. Luke's place is so clean that one couldn't find even a speck of dust his room is painted In white walls and he have a big bed enough for five people to fit.

Still he felt that something is not right inside this room of his. One picture frame of two boys smiling on the camera with dirt on their faces is left just beside the bed and he picked it up looking somewhat nolgastic.

This is him and Ren, the children in the picture looked innocent but he had long change while the other remained the same. It is such a shame that he have to know the dark world much more earlier than the other and this is precisely that he wants to protect that smile.

"Call the stock holders tell them that no matter what happen they could not expel this guy as he have the backing of our family." His voice is cold devoid of any emotion, enough for the people around to understand that what he is saying is not a request but an order

The butler standing on one side of the room waiting for his orders give a court nod , bowing then leaving the room to process the necessary step for the orders to be made.

Their Regalia family is also on top and can surely stand head to head with the Astin family there is no need for him to worry about the other being more influential than him.

"What's with that face it is kind of annoying." He muttered the smug look Mikhail gave him when speaking familiarly with his childhood friend. Not like he know him that much and yet he is acting like he had known the little student for more than a year and it is getting on his nerves.

He would leave him for a while but he won't let him get expel even if it will be the Astin family's will.

The midterms is just around the corner and every dorm is in study mode, except for the room 105 where only Ren is the only one sitting on one corner and reading his notes chanting it like crazy. He doesn't have enough time to think about the school tyrant's birthday since he just realized that the birthday party is just a day before midterms.

Dean is on his bed reading advance book not related to his current curriculum but Ren did not worry for his senior since he know that this senior of his is quite capable but the two student who is at the bottom is not studying one bit.

Mikhail just like any other night is on his phone while his headset is on his ears set on the highest volume not wanting to be disturbed by anyone. Ren thought that the guy is casually playing a game while Jiro is sleeping early not bothering to study at all ,he remembered what this guy said before sleeping and he can feel annoyed just remembering it.

"Meh I can just cram all of it inside my brain just before the exam."

His meaning is clear.

Jiro will study the night before the exam and will try to pass with that last effort of his cramming study and he think that is so awesome that Ren couldn't help but face palm mentally.

"Are you not sleeping yet?" Mikhail asked though his gaze remained in front of the screen of his mobile phone.

"Can't I'm too busy studying for the midterms exam." Ren said as he write some notes for his reviewer further summarizing the important points.

"Don't stay up too late or you really won't grow."

"Excuse me?" Ren said as couldn't help but feel that he is being called small indirectly that he felt his face turning red from anger.

He tried to take deep breaths in an attempt to calm his inner demons on being irrational and just pounce on to the school tyrant and suffocate him with a pillow though of course even in reality he could not do that as Mikhail is much stronger than him.

"I said-"

"Enough" Ren cut him off.

He even dare to repeat it despite seeing that I'm angry?

Mikhail who is sitting on his bed saw the figure of the little student turn away from his with a 'hmp' as he continue to study seriously. Too bad he can't see the expression on his face from this distance he could only imagine how those lips would turn pouty and his brows furrowed from annoyance. Imagining it he let out a low chuckle before turning back on to his cellphone screen.

A big fish was reel into his trap and it looks like he would win this game again.

Despite winning he felt that it is nothing much to celebrate about. His cellphone rang and a small text indicating that someone put the money on his account ah looks like he would need to give it to the little student to manage.

He doesn't really intend to left him the wallet but hearing him being flustered he felt it was fun and teasing the little student would be worth while for a while.

"Should I buy a frame?" he mutter to no one in particular as he looked at his head set that is supposed to be in full blast but is not even connected to the phone so there really is nothing playing and he could clearly heard the environment he is in.

Mikhail is only wearing it in such fashion when he doesn't want to be disturb by other people.

Staying at his house outside this dorm could also be fine but staying here is not that bad too.

Tomorrow he could ditch class and go around town to see what there is to do, Mikhail played his game until two in the morning and he did not even when the sun rise. When he woke up the whole place is empty and he is the only one still sleeping there.

A note was beside him written with three different hand writing.

Dean :I tried to wake you up but you won't so I gave up .

Jiro :brroooooo, I don't want to be killed so sleep some more and I won't wake you up.

Ren : There is breakfast on the mini fridge just heat it up.
