14 Episode 14 "Reunion"

Having lost both his mother and father after viol's death, Gerard's personality softened as time went on. He used to be smug, spoiled, and quick-tempered, and he became moderate, calm, dignified, and humble. But although this was the case, it was his hatred of his dead brother that led to it. It reminded me of a house whose foundation was not intact. In an earthquake that could have happened, there would have been nothing left.

Holding Alexander's hand in great hesitation, Gerard had a far-fetched smile on his face that revealed his discomfort. Unlike him, Alexander seemed quite relaxed. He had a sincere expression on his face. He seemed quite happy to meet Gerard. Gerard, who can't understand this situation, hesitates;

"Excuse me, Mr. Alexander, why does a member of the Grey family like you want to talk to me?" I'll bet you have better things to do."

Alexander couldn't believe what he heard. I could tell he was quite surprised by his face.

"What are you saying, Mr. Gerard? Although I am from the" Grey "family, you are a member of the" Vale "Family, one of the most important families in the" Karo " Kingdom. Of course I'd like to talk to you!"

Flattered, Gerard was slightly blushing. Alexander was nauseous by what he saw. A wave of hatred rising from the depths of his heart shook his entire body. He could barely keep himself from killing Gerard right here.

"I want to thank Mr. Alexander for his kind words. Honestly, I had a pretty bad day before you came. So I'm grateful to Mr. Alexander. I can tell your making my day wonderful."Gerard Said. He lowered his head to hide his blushing face from Alexander.

For Alexander, who is quite adept at role-playing, it was not difficult to seem curious. So it was impossible for Gerard to reject the questions he asked. Describing his experiences during the day, Gerard felt relieved to be able to talk to someone else. It looked like a burden had been lifted.

On the other hand, Alexander, who has heard nothing but complaints and whining, from within;

"This little Leech has never changed."He spent.

-"It's happened to me here. Can you believe it, Mr. Alexander? How could the whole "Xayreus" Academy do such a thing? Huh!"

All this time, Alexander, who had put a fake smile on his face, continued the conversation and tried to get as much information as he could from this stupid boy.

"So it's Mr. Gerard's first day here! It's my first day here, too! It must be a quirk of fate for us to meet!"

He was quite surprised by what Gerard Alexander said. Why would a member of the" Grey "family start the world's best" Xayreus " Academy in the fourth grade? Succumbing to curiosity, Gerard couldn't help but ask.

"I give in to my curiosity, Mr. Alexander, excuse me, but can you tell me why you started school this year? I'm quite intrigued by this."

For the first time since the conversation began, Alexander's eye, unable to control his nerve enough, twitched slightly, and the smile on his face became dull.

"That would be because my father privately taught me at home, Mr. Gerard. Also, my father thought it was too early for me to go to school, that the school would not accept me, so I was only able to start now."

Gerard was confused. Although the " Grey "family is one of the most outstanding families in the world, there was no one who could surpass the professors of the" Xayreus " Academy in the field of education. The prince, princess and the Kings of the country were educated at this school.

And how could a "Grey" have had trouble getting into school? By now, though with a few exceptions, members of the "Grey" family had always been born with the "10" mark and high mana capacity. So it was a "Grey" that marked every period throughout history.

Gerard, unable to understand what Alexander said, once again succumbed to his curiosity.

"What do you mean, Mr. Alexander, when you say he thought the school wouldn't accept you?"Gerard asked. He was really curious.

Alexander, who never broke the smile on his face, slowly grazed his arm and showed his sign to Gerard.

"I'm afraid I was born with the 4 sign, even though I was in the Grey family. That's why my father specially trained me. That's why he didn't think I'd be admitted to school, Mr. Gerard."

Alexander was very calm. But the same could not be said for Gerard. Although his personality improved a little after his parents lost interest, he hated everything that reminded him of his brother. That's what people with low marks were about. Because in his eyes, people with low marks were a symbol of weakness.

Gerard, who jumped out of nowhere with a great disgust, began to count every insult he could think of.

"You disgusting piece of shit!"he shouted.

"How can you talk to me like we're equal? You should be grateful to even talk to me! You poor dog! Don't ever try to meet me again, or I'll kill you! No one cares about the death of a trash like you! You weak bug!"

After blowing and rumbling, Gerard, who had returned to his energy, could not stand to stay with Alexander for another second and left the infirmary.

Every time Gerard said It, Alexander watched him leave with a smile on his face. After everything he's been through, he must have learned to control his nerve. Or at least he thought so himself.

After Gerard left the room, he slowly got up, and then lifted the bed he was sitting on with one hand and glued it to the other bed next to him. Alexander, who did not cross the nerve with this, punched the beds he put on top of him with all his might. His fist, which shattered both beds, pierced his path to the ground and then smashed the ground. The infirmary is on the ground floor and was not even open to use, as today is normally the last day. That's why no one would come here. Alexander's nerve still hadn't crossed, which created cracks on the floor that surrounded the entire room after the punch he threw. He had clenched his fists so hard that his fingernails had ripped through his flesh and he was bleeding. He was gasping for breath, looking at the floor, his long black hair covering his face.

After slowly raising his hand, a few words poured out of Alexander's mouth, which repaired the items and then the floor with a spell of "repair".

-"Today you're going to die. Gerard Vale"And then he quickly left the infirmary.

Tia woke up a when she thought it was safe to. It was confirmed immediately after Alexander left the room. This it was him. The boy he saw in "the forest of Eternity"on exam day was Alexander Grey.
