Countdown to Freedom ( 205 )

"Hyaaaaarh! Just 2 more weeks of this boring school life! Kyahaa!!" Javier exclaimed, standing on his chair with arms raised like a triumphant warrior.

"Soon! Soon! I can go back home! To Armand region! Gyahahahaha!"

Liana sighed heavily, pressing a hand to her temple. "Young Master, please don't shout like that in class. You'll cause a scene."

Gloria, seated nearby, smiled knowingly. "Ara~ Let him enjoy his excitement, Liana. He's been counting down the days for weeks."

"Ehehehehe! I can't wait to go back! More fun, more freedom! Gyahahahaha!" Javier continued, his enthusiasm unabated.

Liana shook her head, feeling her headache intensify with every dramatic gesture. It had been over a month since the battleground event was canceled due to an assassination attempt. The school had returned to normal, but the excitement before the event was long gone. For Javier, the days crawled by, and his longing for Armand was palpable.
