<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re done!" Herrick and Melor mmed their heads down on the table!
<span style="font-weight:400">"So their brains couldn''t take it any longer," Sarah muttered. It was something the others had realized. Sooner orter, those brains would explode from the amount of information dumped on them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys are not even halfway there," Faelyn frowned. The amount they were taught wasn''t even at the halfway mark.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You don''t give us any breaks!" Melor cried. Faelyn was a spartan teacher.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You whining is your break," Scarlet smirked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Evil! You''re the devil! Demon!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I am a demon, thank you."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now, now. I think we all earned ourselves a break." Angelica pped her hands. Despite theirining, they had worked hard when they weren''t. The group had been working thest 4 hours straight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where''s Keith?" The guy had left an hour ago. But as they talked, Keith had returned, "I returned! And I brought treats as well!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yippe!" Herrick and Melor raised their hand! Of course, Keith would prepare something for them!
<span style="font-weight:400">"What did you bring for us?" Angelica stared at the te.
<span style="font-weight:400">"After a long day of work, sweets are a must." That caused the girls to perk up.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here they are." Keith ced down the te.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sparkly!" On the y was a bunch of ss cups. One wasyered with orange and white; another was with pink and white. Thest one was a mix of pink and orange.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What are these?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s a mango and LY mango mousse." Keith grinned, "Please take the one you like."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will take this one." Each one took the one that looked pleasing to them. And when they took a bite,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s chilly and refreshing," Sarah grinned as she savored each bite.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How is it chilled?" Sakura was surprised by the temperature. It was cool to the touch.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I thought we needed something cool, or our heads might have melted from the heat." Their heads had been going in overdrive. They needed some sugar and cont to cool them down.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I feel my brain is so much better." Herrick sighed in relief. That anger he had soon disappeared. The girls were the same as well, and they continued to eat.
<span style="font-weight:400">What happened next caused everyone to freeze.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s do this!" Herrick and Melor pumped their fist as they grabbed their book.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?!" Scarlet blinked, "Why are they studying?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Shouldn''t they be burnt out?" No one had expected this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Maybe it''s because of the food I fed them?" Keith thought about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Like you know how some foods have health benefits? Some increase memorization and increase motor functions." Like with fish. They had healthy omega three that would increase the brain.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do mangos have that kind of benefit?" They''d been eating them left and right, and they had never felt the same effects.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I did add some honey in there; it might be like a soother." Dragon honey did have excellent healing capabilities. It could have refreshed their minds.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Would that be considered cheating?" Scarlet muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t think so?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m not going to say anything," Angelica grinned as she savored her mousse. It was delicious, and she didn''t care whether or not this would be cheating.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Worst case, I can feed it to Grandpa Cadmus and make him take the me." Keith grinned. Who was going to question it if the headmaster ate it?
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." So evil.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good luck on your midterms, Everyone." Angelica waved.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much for your help." Keith and the others bowed. The two''s assistance helped out a lot. As Sakura and Angelica were going to leave,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Senior Angelica, Senior Sakura." The two girls turned around to see it was Alfia.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Alfia?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I have a favor to ask of you two."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What favor do you need?" That was surprising. They never pegged Alfia to be the type to ask for something from them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can I get information about the student Alger Zio Delorosei?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” The two looked at one another, "Is it because of Keith?" The two had heard about Alger and Carolyn dating one another. It seemed the two were going to get married as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sort of."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Student Alfia, we can''t give out a student''s personal information to another. It would be a breach of privacy." The two were at the highest power. But handing information like that to another student was asking for trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know. But I need it." Alfia''s eyes turned serious as she looked at the two.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Angelica and Sakura nced at one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll give you some information. However, we won''t give any private information." General rumors and stuff like that would be okay.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." Alfia bowed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s nothing to worry about. But if it''s concerning Keith, then, of course, we have to help out." Keith was someone they were close with.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” The two didn''t say anything else as they left.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alfia took a deep sigh. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith won''t like it if you snoop around like that?" A yful voice called out behind her.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alfia sighed, "Are you always going to follow me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, we''re friends." Scarlet grinned, but then she asked, "Why are you doing this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s strange."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s what Keith said before." Keith had said before that Alger was strange.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"He said that. But I also find him strange." Keith wasn''t the only one.
<span style="font-weight:400">"When I looked at him again, someone was definitely up with him." Something stirred in her mind when she first met him at the party.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mysterious. Looking at Alger the second time when he came to pick up Carolyn made her realize something else.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He''s dangerous."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Scarlet sighed, "I will also look into it."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did you forget I have connections with the newspaper club?" That was how she was able to spread rumors about Keith instantly, "They should be able to give better information than the two."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Like I said, what are friends for? Also, we need to return, or Keith will get suspicious."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah."
