Nine looked at the other students and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I am not an easy prey! Don't pick me for a battle or else you will regret it!"

Kyle blinked his eyes. He tapped at Nine shoulder with an awkward expression.

"Why are shouting?"

Nine turned around with a frown. He flipped his sleeves and looked at Kyle with a serious expression.

"Can't you see how everyone around us is staring at me? They probably want to challenge me to a battle because they think I am a weak prey! They want to snatch my place!"

The students who heard Nine words scoffed with mocking expressions and some of them even laughed a little.

Kyle wanted to slap Nine head because it seemed the latter had forgotten his final result but before he could, Alec stepped between them with a laugh. He looked at Kyle with eyes saying, 'Leave it to me'.

Alec placed his arm on Nine neck and looked at him with a mysterious smile.

"I don't think they want to fight you."

Nine was confused as he gazed back at Alec and Kyle.

Carcel looked at the trio with a sigh but there was a smirk on his lips.

With a chuckle, Alec said in a very loud voice so everyone around them could hear.

"My apologies but if I remember correctly you are not in the top ten."

Nine body froze he blinked his eyes twice, trying to digest everything he just heard. After Alec's words seeped inside his head he hurriedly recalled his final result and his eyes widened.

He was so busy looking at Kyle's mid-term result that's why he forgot about his final result!

His face flushed and he could hear the laughter of his classmates. With an awkward smile, he slapped Alec's arm away.

"Hmm, it's not that I forget about it I was just joking."

Nine was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig the ground and bury himself but he was too thick-skinned to admit that he forgot about his result.

He cleared his throat and looked at Alec with knitted brows. He wanted to change the topic.

"Then why are they all staring at me like I am their prey?"

Carcel chimed in with a smirk.

"Actually you are a prey. Not just for all of them but for me, Alec, and Kyle as well."

Nine looked at the trio who had evil grins on their faces. He was having a very bad feeling about all this.

While his mind was in overdrive, thinking about all the bad things he did in the last few months, Kyle tapped at Carcel's shoulder.

"Let me."

Kyle looked at Nine while rubbing his palms.

"Yesterday, a certain second-year senior who you have been avoiding for the past five months put a huge bounty on your head. The person who can beat you up will receive 200 mana stones."

Nine expression instantly paled. Now he knew why the moment he entered the training ground all the students looked at him with hungry eyes.

It seemed Senior Blane was still angry after he used him to leave the Academy. Nine had been avoiding Blane at all cost but it seemed the latter found a way to take revenge! He looked at Kyle with a pitiful expression.

"Bro, you are lying, right? Senior Blane won't do it. He is a big-hearted person!"

Kyle looked at him with a nod.

"Yes, he is a big-hearted person that's why he is giving 200 mana stones if we beat you up for him."

Nine stepped back with a dry laugh. He could see that Alec, Kyle, and Carcel were very serious. They were ready to beat him just up for 200 mana stones!

Not just the trio, the whole class was ready to try their punches on him!

'I know mana stones are precious and 200 mana stones are a lot but how can they beat their friend and classmate just for the sake of some meager stones!'

'Also, aren't 200 mana stones too little? If Senior Blane wanted to put a bounty on me he should have at least used 2000 mana stones!'

Nine grumbled inwardly but his gaze was fixed on Alec, Kyle, and Carcel who were ready to make a move.

The trio stepped forward followed by some other students and Nine panicked but then he suddenly pointed at the training dummies while shouting with a serious expression.

"Tsk, we are getting late for the history class."

"Huh?"

His move was very sudden that's why a few students even stopped and looked back but Kyle chuckled as he saw Nine fleeting back. Even Alec and Carcel burst into laughter.

Mia who was standing at a side and watching everything looked at them with a giggle. Even Lara had a thin smile on her face.

On the other hand, it was the first time Nine ran so fast. With large strides, he was at the exit within a few seconds.

"I am leaving for class. See yah later."

He shouted and disappeared from everyone's view while cursing Alec, Carcel, and Kyle inwardly.

'Damn it! They ruined my young master image! I will take revenge! How can you three do this to me just for the sake of 200 mana stones!'

After Nine left, Bia stopped flying and landed on Kyle's shoulder with a sigh.

-'What a pitiful soul!'

Kyle gazed at Bia. Even though she liked sitting on top of his head after he stopped her she didn't do it.

'He isn't pitiful. He even gave the Elder in charge a headache because he is leaving the academy too frequently. It's not safe outside.'

Bia nibbed on her left wing while thinking something inwardly. Just like Kyle, she noticed Nine glistening skin but her sight was more sharper than Kyle that's why she saw the slight blue glow around Nine skin. She had a hunch but it was too ridiculous.

Also, her knowledge regarding that race was too lacking because even the Phoenix her birth parent didn't know much about it.

-'I wonder why is he going out even though he knows it's dangerous.'

Alec finally calmed down and looked at the others.

"Let's leave for the class as well."

Kyle nodded and followed behind him. The other students were a little disappointed because it seemed Alec, Kyle, and Carcel were only joking when they said they would beat up Nine.

They sighed, the offer of 200 mana stones was very tempting but they knew Nine was strong and his friends were even stronger than him that's why they silently threw the matter at the back of their heads.
