Extra And MC-Chapter 118 - 114 - Award Ceremony Banquet IV

With all four individuals in question who were all pretty much involved in the heated argument the young lad and his father were having, now present within set radius, a string of thoughts rapidly began to run through Brandon’s mind as he began to sweat profusely.

’I thought we were alone but isn’t this a really bad situation for me?!’

’Did they hear every single part of our conversation?!’

’Of course they did! I was literally shouting!’

’Should I just get down on my knees and apologize before this completely goes south?!’

’This is so damning! I’m totally finished if any of them so much as utter a single word of this to their parents!’

’Forget wanting to gain favor and connections with the bigger noble families, I’ll completely lose out on all favor from every noble family in Arcadia!’

Shaking the now scared man out of his thoughts was Lucas who purposely bumped into the Baron in annoyance as he walked past him while directly speaking to Ben.

"What are you so surprised at?" the blondie asked in irritation even as the youth kept watching him walk past his father.

"If you’re fine with staring at his ugly face then feel free to stick around. If you aren’t, which I’m sure is actually the case, then let’s head back into the hall" he offered while walking past the youth whose grey irises followed Lucas’s slowly departing figure.

"Although the constant liveliness in the hall irks me to a certain deal, I’m pretty sure the atmosphere there is miles better than the one here" Lucas threw in a few more words with a slightly less irritated expression on his face to persuade the youth as he walked on.

Ben in return, glanced over at his father one more time, and with a deep breath, quickly caught up to Lucas and began to walk side-by-side with him.

Flynn however, just watched the entire thing play out along with Brandon, a slightly surprised expression on his face.

’So he’s more than just a henchman to you… Interesting…’ he thought to himself.

Earlier this morning, after Blaze had informed them about the currently ongoing situation that was now happening in the background of this event, Lucas had apologized to Luke for his misuse of his [Series] during he and Ben’s spar.

Apparently, according to what Flynn had heard from Bryan and Amelia, what was originally a spar between them, turned into a scenario where Lucas wanted to vent out his frustrations on Ben for what happened all those years ago, even after understanding fully well that both of them were really just victims of the Baron’s schemes.

As a result, Ben had ended up getting hurled into the air by Lucas’s [Lightning Series] and in an effort to protect himself from incurring too much damages while landing, he had summoned a pillar of diamond from the earth.

Luke who had actually come out to watch their spar at the time along with Amelia and Bryan who were already there, noticed quickly that the blonde-haired youth was going overboard for a spar and had instantly, taken matters into his own hands, hence the destruction of their roof.

Watching both youths finally disappear into the lively reverie of the banquet from the long corridor, Brandon Steelblade turned his gaze over to Flynn who had a few of his fingers placed on his chin, seemingly pondering over something.

In just a second though, Flynn’s aquamarine-green irises met with the Baron’s grey irises and suddenly, another wave of palpable tension hung in the air, the Baron once again fearful of what Flynn would possibly do to him.

Staring at the shitty father for a few more seconds with a cold, spine-chilling gaze, Flynn finally let out a few words, his tone almost dry and emotionless, but still hinting at the possible terror that he could mentally inflict on the man.

"What are you staring at me for Baron?"

Despite being way powerful than Flynn power-level wise, Brandon at this moment was more fearful of the damage Flynn could cause to his reputation, causing another wave of cold sweat to break across his body instead of actually answering.

"No response?" the youth slightly tilted his head, his fingers still placed on his chin.

"Then scram!" he ordered coldly and immediately, as if waiting for the que, Brandon Steelblade’s legs carried him away from the small corridor as fast as it could, akin to a squirrel scurrying off from a hunter.

-Sigh…

Letting out a tired sigh as the grown adult ran away like there was no tomorrow, Flynn casually began making his way back into the hall.

He had originally come to the quiet terrace to escape the crowds, give himself a bit of breather before having to go back to take in their multiple gazes and constant greetings but unfortunately for him, Lucas had beaten him to it.

Socializing it seemed, was something both of them weren’t particularly fond of. They could partake if it was necessary but after a certain point, it just became quite stressful.

Adding to that was the constant deaths Flynn was witnessing in the background of the event with mana sense, requiring him to even want to escape from the banquet’s reverie even more as quickly as he could, even if only for a minute.

That being said, staying on the terrace, Lucas and Flynn didn’t say anything to each other and they quietly enjoyed the night’s breeze but then, Brandon soon came with his peace-destroying antics, putting both youths in a bit of a foul mood, mostly Flynn, although he seemed even more tired than annoyed on the outside.

Ben’s shout also didn’t help either but at the very least, both of them had felt it was quite necessary for him so they let it be but when it seemed like Brandon was still trying to kick up a fuss even after Ben was seemingly done, they both decided enough was enough.

Now returning back to the hall, Flynn spotted Ivelia moving towards him while skillfully weaving her way through the multitude of people who still wanted to have a moment with her, politely rejecting their requests.

Upon reaching him, the lady then asked with a concerned expression on her features.

"Are you feeling much better now?"

"I’ll manage" Flynn calmly replied with a small smile.

Almost immediately though, the youth then used his hands to rub his own cheek, simultaneously also giving a remark.

"My cheeks hurt from all the smiling though…"

"Hahaha~ That’s one of the few times I’ve ever heard you complain Flynn and it’s over such a mundane thing" Ivelia let out a small soft yet amused laughter while covering her lips with her hands.

Flynn on the other hand just allowed Ivelia to enjoy her small dose of amusement to her hearts content and after she was done laughing, the lady then asked another question, this time, her expression slightly serious.

"So how’s the spy-hunting going?"

"Well, it’s considerably died down and I think, maybe, just maybe, they’ve completely annihilated them" Flynn responded coolly, both of his hands in the pockets of his suit pants.

Ivelia after hearing this, let out a deep sigh of relief.

Following this, Flynn then asked Ivelia a question of his own.

"By the way, where’s that borderline narcissistic brother of mine?"

"Oh, he’s currently having a conversation with the Duchess of the Roseblade Family" Ivelia casually responded.

"Is that so?" Flynn muttered, after which he then mischievously added.

"He’s already warming up to his mother in-law hmm? Getting all cozy eh?"

"Oh you! Do you never get tired of making fun of your brother?" Ivelia questioned with a small chuckle.

"I never will" Flynn replied with another mischievous smile.

Ivelia just shook her head in resignation at Flynn’s reply and in about a few minutes later, they still kept talking about a bunch of other mundane things.

As this was happening, slowly but surely, Ivelia and Flynn noticed as all the members of their student council, slowly began to make their way back into the hall as if they didn’t just reap the lives of a dozen people and more.

What both of them had found even more interesting was the fact that not a single one of them had a stain of blood on their pristine outfits, especially the ladies.

Aerith, Sophia and Tanya, all of whom wore blue, purple and yellow dresses, each of them elegant and well-tailored in their own right, seemed exactly as it was just before they previously left the hall to deal with the spies.

Glancing over to Derek who walked back into the hall hand-in-hand with Sophia, who was his partner, gave Flynn a subtle nod, indicating that they had successfully repelled every single spy that had tried to infiltrate the banquet.

Blaze and Aerith, Luke and Tanya, both also partnered up, went around doing the same to the other youths in their dorm, subtly informing them of the same exact information.

Soon enough, after a few more minutes, Senya Brunhildr, Vice Dean of Arcana Academy, soon took the stage after gathering everyone’s attention and then, after giving an appreciation speech, the Valkyrie in disguise motioned to the stage and suddenly, Xavier Chrono, the Dean and Sole Proprietor of Arcana Academy, shocked the entire hall by blinking into existence along with a table of trophies and awards, ready to present each of them to their rightfully deserved owners.
