The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 327 - The Academic Goal
Chapter 327 -327 – The Academic Goal
“Hey there, guys.” I call out to the usual people.
“Hey, Henry.” Winona was the first to reply, Alex next.
With these two, there was Taylor, Xavier and someone else that I did not expect to see… well at least in the state he was.
“Hey… Arthur.” I call out to the mummy.
He was sitting beside Xavier, covered from head to toe in bandages. The only thing open about him were his eyes, mouth and his hands.
In the peculiar state that he was, it almost seemed like he ran away from the hospital.
“Hello Henry… how are you?” There was some kind of abnormality between us.
“Good, but can’t say the same about you. Not trying to be a douchebag but why are you like that?” I pointed to his bandages.
Arthur sighed, “Well, after I lost to you-”
“You mean the beating Henry gave you.” Winona said, trying to act stupid.
“…Yes, after that, the doctors gave me the best treatment possible. According to them, it’s a miracle that I’m standing in such a quick time.” Arthur slowly ate the soup with his shaky hands, “I’m not healed yet and it would still take some time before I can take the bandages off.”
“The doctors warned and told me to stay in bed, but I couldn’t lie back anymore. Classes were going on and losing any more of them would be bad for me so here I am.”
The guy had guts and was impatient, but he wasn’t wrong. I would have done the same as well.
“Good to know that you’re alright. Hope you feel better soon man.”
“Me too.”
With that, the awkwardness between seemed to lessen just a bit.
“Okay Henry, tell us about your experience with Class A.” Alex said, eager.
“Yes, how was it?” Winona also asked. With their questioning, Taylor, Xavier and Arthur also looked at me.
“Well… it wasn’t exactly as good or bad.” They make weirded expressions as I tell them the full story.
“…” Arthur, Taylor and Alex quietly looked at me.
“I don’t know what to say…” Winona spoke with a weirded look.
“Who the fuck in his right mind does such a stupid thing yeh.” Xavier straight out called me.
“I suppose… me.”
“You’re not even denying it?”
I shook my head, “Why should I? I said the truth and if they can’t handle it, I’ll break their bodies too, no offense Arthur.”
Arthur looked at Henry with a sudden look, ‘Why are you bringing me in this?’
Winona’s weirded expression became normal as she patted my shoulder, “We already knew it wouldn’t have taken you long to make everyone in Class A hate you.”
“I just didn’t think it would be on the first day… but alas, miracles happen in multiple ways.”
“They don’t all hate me.”
“…They do Henry… believe me they do.”
“…”
With that, the talk about me in Class A ended and we talked about some other stuff before lunch break ended and we all went back to each classes.
As I came back, Landon and his buddies clenched their teeth at me but stayed quiet. Probably because Elivia had returned to class right now so they didn’t want to do anything stupid.
As the classes went on, I noticed a subtle thing.
The teachers here were better. Not just academically but mentally too. They had the patience and the right method to teach this group of arrogant, egotistic and greedy little bastards.
It was way, way better than the education I got from Class F.
They also taught stuff here that wasn’t taught in my previous class. Students could ask any kind of questions and as long as they didn’t steer too much towards politics, the teacher would answer it… even realistically sometimes.
“So teach” I call out to the middle aged teacher with a bald spot at the middle, “How high of a chances are for me to actually pass the academy?”
He was teaching about Chivalry and Politics and asked if anyone had questions about any matter so I jumped.
“Well, give me a second to look at your record.” He said and pulled out a file.
He searched for me before nodding at a few things and closing the file. Then he gave me a serious look, “You clearly don’t have flying colors in your record.”
‘That’s famous.’
“You are known to make serious troubles sometimes that would bring you losses. Speaking about studies, you don’t have top scores but you are good, much better than a lot here in the academy.” He’s words shocked a lot of students.
To them, Henry was like an ape that just grew too big. They didn’t think he would actually have a brain.
“If you seriously think about applying yourself to this campus, I believe you could achieve to be a good scholar, great even if you grabbed the chances.” The teacher spoke his mind, “If you study, there’s 85% chance that you’ll pass from here.”
“BUT…” He took a moment, “If you are to continue your streak, I’m sure to say you won’t just be famous, nonetheless infamous to the point that passing won’t make any change.”
“It would be like giving a certificate to a criminal. You know he has the requirements but that doesn’t mean he’ll be looked brightly in the society.”
“And if that’s your goal, then go ahead, keep doing it. You’re doing great.”
‘Well look at that, the teacher didn’t just give me empty praises but also told me of my failures too… others would just speak the failures but he gave spoke of the chance.’
‘Provided that I still haven’t done anything to him yet.’
‘I also need to think from here. I got to the best place in the academy so what do I want now?’
‘Do I just want to pass, be a model or okay citizen or slide between the middle and taste everything?’
I look around seeing the horde of great connections I could make.
‘Hmm… maybe it wasn’t a good choice for me to anger them on the first day.’
…
The academy ended and before I could get lost trying to find my new dorm, someone came to escort me. Someone that surprised me.
“It’s you!” She said, a bit shocked and surprised.
“Kylie Gem, right?” I ask as she nodded happily.
“You remember me!”
‘Of course I do. It’s not every day that you find people that get bullied, even with the strength they possess.’
I look at the 2nd year student and see a pin on her chest. It was purple in color and had the academic logo.
“You joined the Disciplinary Committee?”
She nodded with excitement, “After hearing you speak your mind, I felt like I needed to change so I joined them.”
‘Well… this is the first time someone misunderstood me to this point.’
“Let’s go, I will show you your dorm.”
As she walked ahead, Kylie spoke, “I am a new member so they sent me to show the dorm to the student that won the exam a week ago.”
She looked back to me in shock, “But I didn’t know that it was you!”
“You didn’t watch the fights?”
Kylie sighed in disappointment, “I was stationed to look after the academic grounds so I didn’t see the fights. But it’s good to know that the person that showed me the right path is the one who won.”
I had a pale look as I see her smile.
‘Kylie… you not only strayed from my path but diverted it into the opposite lane.’
‘Forget about Winona’s act, you’re the real stupid one here.’
