"Cafeteria? Don't even think about it! I know what you're thinking because I thought the same back then… Ahem, according to Theorate's rules, only the 3rd year students are allowed into the 'cafeteria' . So give up!" Senile wasn't surprised at all, smiled at Kieran in a rather mischievous manner .
He had seen a lot of students with Kieran's ambitions, he himself had the same intention when he was still a student, but…
Theorate has written rules about this: before students reached 3rd year and could perform their own 'hunt', they weren't allowed to enter the 'cafeteria', except for buying meals daily and eating .
With crossed arms, Senile anticipated Kieran's disappointed face, and when that happened, he would give him his 'advice' .
The 'advice' that he would give would bear a certain test and although Professor Tyrese hadn't put him through the same thing back then, as a teacher who carried out the tasks, Senile thoughr students who took things for granted would not value the result . He believed they must work for it .
But…
Kieran's expression didn't change, looking at Senile as he said "I've gotten the position of Branch Leader of E Block Student Council and according to the rules, the Branch Leader has advance access rights to certain areas, including but not limited to, the 'cafeteria' . "
"Huh?!" Senile was shocked .
He didn't think Kieran would bluff him but he still took out his responder for a more precise answer .
Half a minute later, Senile looked at Kieran, even more shocked .
He hadn't just gotten the news of Kieran becoming the Branch Leader of E Block, he even knew what Kieran had done in the Student Council branch office .
Senile's expression turned weird, a look of indignation mixed with jealousy .
Though his weird look was soon replaced by seriousness .
"You are putting yourself under the crosshair of some powerful parties . Maybe you are almost invincible among the freshmen, you might not even take the 2nd and 3rd years seriously, but the 4th and 5th years are different . They have a lot more academic scores to fuel reckless acts that disregard people . No one can guarantee what will they do . "
Senile tried his best to tell Kieran what would happen to him .
Outstanding people would always fuel jealous .
Anyone with extraordinary traits would attract unusual attention .
Even a mother might kill a cub born a different color, let alone a human with a complex heart .
Talents were admirable but they also attracted jealousy .
Strangle a baby in its cradle was a saying that was also derived from jealousy .
No one knew better what would befall Kieran than Senile, the teacher who had seen countless talented students .
As a teacher, his duty wasn't just teaching, he must keep students like Kieran away from harm too .
To Senile's surprise, Kieran didn't show the expression that he saw in other excellent students after the advice .
There weren't any sneers, disdain, or ignorance .
Kieran curled his lips and showed a soft smile .
"They are most welcomed to try," he said .
Senile looked at Kieran blankly .
"Do you even understand what I am saying?" Senile asked again after a long stare .
"I know . Thank you," Kieran nodded and thanked the teacher .
"You little… FINE! Go to Professor Tyrese if anything happens, don't come knocking on my door! I can't help you with whatever is coming . And do you want to test your talents?"
Senile shrugged helplessly and shifted the responsibility to the professor known for his good temper . He then asked out of standard procedure .
According to Theorate rules, a student who had acquired food that matched his talent could be exempted from taking the blood test again, for the sake of privacy .
Kieran was grateful and most welcome for this particular rule because he had a lot of secrets on him, which he might risk exposing to his enemies if he took a simple blood test .
"No need," he said .
"Okay then . Remember what I told you," Senile reminded Kieran again before he left .
Kieran quietly recalled the rumours saying Senile was an unreliable teacher, seeing the teacher off .
It seemed like rumours would not always live up to expectations, as after Kieran truly communicated with Senile, he realized… Senile was much more unreliable than rumoured .
Unwilling to bear responsibilities, seeking only delicious food, akind of lazy man who was reluctant to work for it, but… he wasn't a bad person .
As for his reminder?
No one knew what he was getting into better than Kieran .
Because of the Witch Enigmatic Realm, the current dungeon world difficulty plummeted but as he dug deeper, it would become harder, maybe even surpassing the original difficulty .
Increased difficulty would surely bring greater danger but also greater profit .
Danger coexisted with gain .
Kieran would not just sit there and wait for a pie to fall from the sky .
The best and most realistic way was to work for his own gains, that was what Kieran believed .
He also believed that 'one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions' .
Kieran saw a transient student in a uniform without a badge running towards him, blocked him just as he was about to leave .
He didn't speak, waiting for the student to voice his intention .
"Respected Sir First Seat, I am Marv and I represent the transient students . It's an honor to be meeting you for the first time, please accept these meal vouchers . "
Marv took out three meal vouchers . They weren't just any meal vouchers though, they could be exchanged for three sets of Fast Food in the cafeteria .
"Please don't misunderstand our intention, we don't mean anything else . We just hoped that you can be a little easier on us when the semester starts," Marv explained with his head down .
Kieran, however, did not buy it .
According to Theorate rules, while transient students might not be as well-benefited as real students, they weren't targets of bullying either .
In a certain aspect, the transient students would be treated even better .
Kieran glanced over the meal vouchers and then at Marv .
Marv was smiling, and unlike most of the youthful faces of the freshmen, Marv had maturity far surpassing his age . His blue eyes were filled with a sincere smile, and together with his neat uniform and brown hair, fondness for him would grow on first sight, but none of that changed Kieran's mind .
"I will exercise the rights of the First Seat according to Theorate rules, no extra condition needed . "
Kieran then left before giving Marv a chance to speak .
He had no time to tangle with Marv, as he had a place he wanted to go to before dinner .
'Hope I can get something extra there,' he thought .
