55_Arthur secret talent

"Did you find anything?", Lin, who came walking to them at a fast pace, asked Lucius, Arthur and Lilyann. But seeing them empty-handed she already knew the answer.

"No, we didn't", Lucius answered albeit a bit shy. Here he was promising to himself that he would find the clue before Lin could even step inside, but instead he didn't even manage to search the whole canteen.

"That's totally normal", Lin said in hope to brighten the three dejected teenagers. "The canteen is so big", she added not forgetting to add hand gestures to show how big it is. "If you guys managed to search every nook and cranny here in the time I took a step inside I would wonder if you guys are still human", she finished off with a small smile finally managing to cheer them up even if it was just a little.

"Yes, it's totally normal!", Lilyann who recovered the fastest among the three instantly regained her lost energy.

"Yeah, totally normal", Lin chuckled quietly: "Let's search further. We shouldn't forget our objective. First place!"

"Yes, first place!", Lilyann and Lucius cheered loudly showing their determination once again.

"But um…Lin?", Arthur quietly asked: "How did you manage to come in? Not that I want to know it, but you know. Just, just a bit curious."

The mood that finally managed to increase, diminished faster than it had risen.

"Yes?", Lin asked puzzled, but her eyes told otherwise, but Arthur who didn't seem to see be able to read the mood as good as before didn't notice Lin's change. He even though Lin didn't understand him because he talked to quietly, so he asked the question once more.

"How did you manage to get through the window? I mean you clearly struggled not too long ago, so I was just wondering how you got in, nothing else! If you look at your height it would be quite hard to get through them without anyone's help, but there was obvious no one to help", when Arthur began he couldn't stop his ramble.

Lucius who stood next to him couldn't listen to him anymore. The more he talked how worse Lin's mood became. Quickly deciding his next action, he jabbed Arthur's abdomen while whispering in a voice so that only he could hear it: "Shut up if you don't want a beating."

Arthur who was confused felt as if he was mistreated wanted to complain to his friends but was interrupted by Lin's cold voice.

"I just climbed through the window. That's it."

"What?", Arthur who didn't manage to catch up what she meant could only look at her stupidly.

"I just said that I climbed through that window."

"But you clearly aren't able to get through the window on your own. Did Narcys maybe help you?", Arthur who came up with something he would normally call absurd seemed to think it is a fair statement. "Narcys may be the most selfish guy I have met my entire life. He only does what he wants to do, but he clearly isn't anyone bad. Narcys isn't a bully you see."

The three teenagers who were listening to him couldn't decide if he was badmouthing Narcys or not, but that was the last thing they cared about at that moment.

"Do you know that before you came he was always alone or with his brother. There was almost, no, no-one who dared to approach him. I once asked Luke why his brother as such a temper. You know what he told me? He said that Narcys just doesn't want to interact with anyone because they aren't the one he is waiting for. Luke didn't tell me who he is waiting for, but I think it may relate to the reason why he likes to take a nap so much, but I do know that- Ouch!"

Lucius who had enough of his constant ramble that somehow got off the topic jabbed him once again. Of course, Arthur wanted to protest but was hit once again but by Lilyann who stood on his other side.

"Ouch!", he cried out once again.

"What's wrong with you?", he asked with an expression of betrayal portrayed on his face.

Before he managed to get an answer out of them, Lin asked him a question: "I really went through the window 'alone'. You don't believe me?"

Arthur didn't believe anything Lin was saying. Before he even could open his mouth he was jabbed once again by Lucius. He wouldn't lie if he said that it really hurt.

"Do you believe me or not?", she asked once again.

"I- ", he wanted to deny, but he finally realized that Lin didn't seem as curious as he thought. She even looked as she was ready to beat the hell out of someone.

"I- *GULP*", he nervously looked at Lucius and Lilyann for help. Arthur realized he might get a beating or two if no one stops this girl who was at the point of exploding, but the two weren't planning to interfere. They tried their best; it was him who didn't realize it.

Arthur who finally decided to bite the bullet and apologize for speaking out of tune and receive maybe a hit or two hit was saved by Narcys who walked nonchalantly to the group of four. Arthur decided then and there that he would be Narcys follower for life. He even gave him a look people would give to saviors.

"Did I miss something?", he asked lazily not really expecting an answer, but somehow he had a feeling something was wrong.

Narcys looked at the group of four. One, crazily enough, gave him a disgusting look if he may say so while two looked quite uneasy and the last seemed on the verge to explode. He had a feeling that it was better not to meddle with whatever happened, but his interested was piqued by the girl who lived without any care in life, but also manages to get infuriated easily for some petty reasons.

[How did Arthur manage to make her like that?]

"Nothing", Lilyann answered while giving him an uneasy smile.

"Yeah, you didn't miss anything", Lucius added not forgetting to nod his head fiercely.

Narcys wanted nothing than expose them and to found out what exactly happened, but there was one drawback. He wasn't planning to see Lin rampage and be the one at the receiving end. That would be too tiring.

"Have you found the clue yet?", he asked after quickly deciding his next course of action, but he rather not have asked.

"No, we didn't!", Arthur who saw his escape quickly directed the topic to another.

"You didn't?", Narcys asked after being quiet for a second.

"No, we didn't!", Arthur replied confidently.

Narcys whose mood seemed to be exceptionally good for the first time managed to change his mood especially fast. In a blink of an aye the boy who looked easier to approach changed to the boy they knew, someone who thought everything was annoying.

*SIGH*

He sighed deeply and looked at Arthur who seemed to realize for the first time that he may have talent in saying the wrong things and asked seriously: "Which part do we still need to search through to?"

"Um…", Arthur looked quickly at Lucius for help, but the only respond he got was a jab in his abdomen.

[I don't deserve this treatment!], he wanted to cry out, but he knew he was the one who started this. So, he took a deep part and pointed out what Narcys asked.

"From there to there."

What he showed was bigger than what Narcys ever could imagine. He wanted to think logically, but he couldn't. Narcys wanted to stop playing this stupid game this moment, but before he could even sum up all his dissatisfaction the bell rung announcing the end of the first lesson and at the same time announcing that one hour already passed.
