BXBX NOVEL Chapter 7 School Life
Arthur didn't change his expression after knowing the cause of all this.
Europe was the center of civilization, having the strongest economy with many states and even several kingdoms. The politics here are naturally so complicated that anything can happen.
"Arthur, do you want me to send some people over to help?" Isabel asked.
Arthur replied "that's not necessary, let the enemy think we're unaware, I'll get rid of them when they appear."
"Alright, please be careful!"
The phone ends there.
Arthur tucked his cell phone in his trouser pocket and glanced back again.
Carla and Bella had arrived right behind him, the former ask, "who did you call?"
"Your mother," Arthur answered, slightly surprising Carla.
"Why did you call my mother?" She asked, furrowing her brows suspiciously.
Arthur smiled and didn't answer. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but it wasn't right with Bella by her side, he was planning on texting her cell phone later.
"Go to your class!" He only said that before continuing on his way.
It would be hard to find the people watching Carla, he guessed they were in a tall building, watching through binoculars. He couldn't look for them there, so he would wait for them to make a move.
"What the hell!" Carla looked at Bella spontaneously because she didn't get an answer from Arthur.
"He's weird" Bella said and what she said made Carla think it had something to do with magic because that's all that was weird.
She stopped thinking and took a step. Together with Bella, they went to the top floor of the school building.
Their class was different from Arthur's, the latter was in Class C while they were in Class A, the class with the brightest students. Both classes are on the 5th floor, only separated by one other class.
As they entered the classroom, Carla finally received a message from Arthur.
The words at the beginning of the message told her not to let anyone see the message, so she didn't continue reading it, she went to her seat first before starting to read it.
Arthur himself went straight to his class, which was still in a quiet condition.
Of course, no one greeted him, each of them busy reading books or doing assignments. Plus, Arthur wasn't close to anyone in his class.
His seat was by the window facing directly onto the basketball court, so he stared there.
Several male students entered the basketball court, starting to warm up to play.
The last one to arrive had a body that reached 195 cm, had brown hair, and looked full of muscles.
He received the ball and threw it into the basket and went in directly, earning applause from the girls.
He was Alex, who could be said to be the most popular student in this school.
Arthur watched him just curious, if there was something special or hidden from him. It was his custom with his enemies, but he was obviously being overly cautious since the man was only human even though he might be physically trained.
In the end, this was the mortal world, unlike the world of magic where magicians could be found even among beggars.
Of course, if we talk about background, Alex might be an agent of a certain party because as far as Arthur knows, he doesn't have any particular family background.
'Let's see what you will do,' he said to himself.
Minute by minute, there were more and more students arriving.
At 08.00, it is time for learning to start.
Nothing interesting, just plain lessons. 09.30, finally time for the first break.
Arthur was a bit distracted during class because his stomach got quite hungry. This was clearly the effect of his Spiritual Core. Because spiritual energy on earth was very thin, so when he was not meditating to absorb energy, very little energy entered his body and it caused his Spiritual Core to absorb energy from his body.
He thought he needed a few pieces of meat to deal with this problem.
As soon as his class teacher came out, he stood up, walked out of his class.
As he passed Carla's class, he saw the girl still sitting in her chair, reading a book. Bella who was sitting beside her was also the same.
At this time, a bespectacled, neat-looking young man approached Carla and Bella, a little closer to Carla.
The latter looked at him and knitted her brows.
His name was Cale, who could be said to be the smartest guy in this school. He was almost as popular as Alex, only a little less because young women did prefer men who were good at sports.
"Carla? Bella? Leo, Conor, Nova, Stella and I will be studying together this afternoon at Nova's house. Are you interested in joining? Nova's father will help us. You know . . . he is a professor," he said.
Bella seemed uninterested in Cale's words, but Carla looked at a bespectacled woman whose hair was plaited in two, sitting at a table by the classroom door. She was interested when she heard about Nova's father.
However, just as she was staring at the classroom door, she saw Arthur enter. Her gaze did not move away from him in the end and she did not answer Cale.
The latter knitted his brows as well and followed Carla's gaze.
Bella who was sitting next to Carla showed an interested expression as she looked at Arthur.
"It's quite a surprise that you came here," she said gently. She had no memory of Arthur ever coming to this class. Plus with the changes she saw, this made her even more interested.
Arthur ignored her, only glancing at her before speaking to Carla.
"Follow me to the cafeteria!" he said.
He couldn't leave her alone on the fifth floor because of the lurking danger, so he needed to keep her close around him.
Carla luckily wasn't a woman who would act annoying in an emergency situation, she stood up without asking anything.
"Wait, I'm also a bit hungry, let's go together!" Bella also stood up.
Seeing the two of them stand up, Cale knit his brows again.
"Carla, Bella, as the main students of this school, you must make good use of your time considering that exams are approaching. If you feel hungry, just order from here," he said, admonishing them.
As his voice was slightly louder, the other students looked their way, some even looked like they wanted to stand up to help.
Arthur, with his thousands of years of experience, how could he not understand the mind of this pubescent youth.
He only has a crush on Carla and does a simple trick to get close to her.
Of course, he had no interest in the stupid game. His hand moved, patting the young man's shoulder.
"You don't need to mind them, mind your own business," he said, slightly pushing his shoulders down and causing him to nearly fall.
"You?" He was taken aback, but Arthur ignored him. He took a step to leave.
Carla and Bella looked at each other with strange expressions, the former know of Arthur's strength but this was the first time she had seen him intimidate someone. In the past, he would avoid other people, never mind conflicts.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Another young man suddenly stood in Arthur's way. His body was slightly larger, indicating that he was quite strong.
Carla didn't like being bothered about their business either, so she said, "Leo, it's none of your business!"
The young man that Leo called answered, "Carla, Cale is right, we have to focus on studying so that our grades don't decrease, this isn't just our business, but the school's business as well to maintain its position as an Elite High School."
"Tsk! Tsk!" Bella responded with a light laugh. She said "Leo, your grades are the lowest in the class, you don't have the qualifications to comment, think for yourself."
"You!" Leo's face looked embarrassed. He knew arguing with women would do nothing and he also didn't want to antagonize them since these two women were among the most popular in school.
In the end, he looked back at Arthur.
However, before he could say anything to her, Arthur suddenly pushed him aside.
"Don't get in the way," he said.
Leo's body was bigger, he shouldn't be affected and he thought like that, but as if something made his legs go weak, he slumped down in his chair.
"What are you doing?" He became angry, not realizing something bad had happened to him.
Arthur, Carla, and Bella ignored him, they were already out of class.
Just as he was about to give chase, Cale stopped him.
"Don't be provoked," he said.
"He's Carla's cousin, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, before that I thought he was the type that wouldn't do anything," Cale replied.
Of course, unlike Carla and Bella, he didn't notice Arthur's changes because they never really interacted, unlike Carla who saw Arthur every day and Bella who saw him quite often.
"You see, Bella seems to be attracted to him," Cale added.
Leo seemed to think of something and suddenly smiled. "You're right, he will be in trouble if Alex finds out. Everyone knows that he likes Bella. However, isn't this not true? It's just a small matter, we shouldn't do anything bad."
He seemed to be doubtful but after saying that, he became somewhat astonished as he looked at Cale's expression. He looks somber.
"I have a bad feeling about him, Carla is somehow very obedient to him. Even if they are cousins, she shouldn't be obedient like that. I also have several female cousins and they have never been so obedient to me even though I have the best achievements."
"Cale, you?" This is ultimately none of Leo's business, he is only helping because they are friends but that doesn't mean he agrees with him doing something immoral.
"You don't need to worry, I will talk to Alex myself," Cale said, he stepped away.
Unfortunately he didn't know that Arthur overheard their entire conversation as he was only a few meters from the classroom door.
