Chapter 139 Someone is cursing Nine?  

After the shower, Kyle came out wearing a brown shirt with blank pants.

Bia was already done eating so they left the room together.

Kyle gazed at Nine room and after thinking for a second he knocked on the door but no one replied.

'Maybe he is in class.'

With that though he left the building. The burning afternoon sun shone brightly above his head as he roamed around the Academy but he didn't encounter any familiar face.

While he was walking, some students saw him but when they saw Bia they all started whispering.

They even followed behind him to take a good look at Bia.

Soon, Kyle arrived in front of a familiar hall. The students following behind him were standing a few meters away from him. Their gaze was fixed on Bia as they whispered among themselves.

Kyle glanced at them with a frown. Among the 14 students from the Academy who entered the Tower 9 returned alive. Even if Nine and the others didn't say anything, the news about how he was attacked in front of the Tower due to Bia wasn't something that would have stayed hidden from others.

Especially the rich noble kids. They would have received the news directly from their families.

'Rumors do travel fast it's only a few days but it's seemed everyone knows about Bia.'

Kyle thought inwardly. He didn't like being watched and now whenever someone saw him they would stop and stare at him.

With a sigh, he entered the large hall to see the first-year class schedule.

The hall was mostly empty only three students wearing Blue uniforms were standing in front of the large board present at the end of the hall and an empty reception desk at a corner.

Kyle approached the board. It was divided into three sections for each year's students. He gazed at the first-year section but then a confused expression appeared on his face.

The timetable was there but there was a huge notice about a one-week break beneath the timetable.

'Break?'

The three students standing beside the board sensed Kyle's presence. They looked at him but when they saw Bia their eyes widened for a second. Two of the students were second year. They just returned after completing a mission.

While the third one was a first-year student. He looked at Kyle and then at Bia with a raised brow.

"Kyle?"

Kyle looked back at the black-haired boy who called out his name. Even though he didn't know him personally his memory wasn't bad enough to forget one of his classmates.

"Jake."

"Yeah, it's me!"

Jake said with a smile. He wasn't sure if Kyle remembered him but it seemed he did.

"It's been a long time, how have you been? I heard you got yourself in trouble the moment you came out from the Tower."

He moved back from the board and pointed his finger at Bia with a mischievous smile.

Kyle looked back at him. Jake was his classmate but except for Nine, Alec, and Carcel, he didn't interact with others.

"Hmm, I am fine."

Jake blinked his eyes at Kyle's answer. There wasn't any expression present on Kyle face so he thought the latter didn't want to talk to him.

"Anyway why are you here though? Aren't you gonna study for the exam."

He said and turned around to leave. Kyle saw his leaving figure and hurriedly followed behind him.

"What exam?"

Jake stopped in his tracks and looked at Kyle who was standing beside him with a raised brow.

"Don't you know? Professor Aliza is going to take a theoretical exam next week. All the first-year students have to take the exam because it's mandatory if you want to pass the mid-terms."

"?"

Kyle's confusion vanished and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

No one told him about all this!

Jake saw Kyle's expression and sighed.

"I don't think you or the others who entered the Tower need to worry about the theoretical exam because Professor Aliza said it's okay if you fail. It's because you all didn't take any classes." "Oh, that's a relief then."

Kyle wiped the non-existent sweat present on his forehead. Jake almost gave him a heart attack! Now, he could rest easy.

Even though failing a theoretical exam for the first time won't expel them from the Academy but if they failed two times consecutively they would be thrown out from the Academy!

After entering the Academy Kyle didn't take any classes because he was busy finding out about his bloodline. Then he took some classes but after a few weeks, he heard about his family and again stopped taking any classes. Lastly, he entered the Tower for six months!

Jake chuckled when he saw Kyle's expression.

"So are you going to fail?"

He said in a teasing manner. Kyle blinked his eyes and shrugged his shoulders. It's not like he was genius enough to learn everything within a week so it was better to accept his fate.

"Haha, you seemed quite relaxed, unlike the ones who have been camping inside the Library for the past few days."

Kyle raised his brow. He didn't even know and everyone else was working hard!

'Damn! Master should have informed me about all this.'

He grumbled inwardly and looked at Jake.

"How many people are present in the library?"

"Hmm, I went to the library in the morning. I saw Alec and Carcel. Oh, the person who is always with you was also there."

"You mean Nine."

Kyle said and Jake hurriedly nodded his head but then suddenly his lips curved upward into a large smile.

"Nine was saying something along the lines, Kyle's fate is already sealed? He is destined to fail miserably. He also said there was even a 50 percent chance that you would get a zero mark in the upcoming exam."

Kyle's expression changed as he heard Jake's words. A dark smile appeared on his face. Bia who was sitting on top of his head started laughing.

'Damn! Nine you rascal pray I don't see you or else I am gonna beat you up.'

Jake saw Kyle's dark expression and with a sly smile, he disappeared from the hall.

"Sorry Nine but it was fun. Haha, I want to see what Kyle is going to do with you."

On the other hand, Kyle took a deep breath. His expression was dead serious.

"Bia we are going to study! I won't fail the exam!"

He said seriously and hurriedly left the hall. Meanwhile, inside the library. Nine left eyes suddenly twitched uncontrollably.

"Why do I feel like someone is cursing me behind my back? Is it my imagination?"

He shook his head and threw the thought on the back of his head.
