A Fight Because of Food

Jeremy already noticed Matthias' mood so he leaned towards him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, nothing." Matthias smiled and returned to listening. The bell rang an hour later, signifying the end of the class session.

Five teachers of their own respective subjects also taught the class for an hour. After those subjects, a special bell rang, signifying the start of lunch break.

Matthias, Jeremy, Key, and Sana went out together to the university's canteen.

When Key took out the food and saw that it was a burrito, he smiled, "You didn't forget the promise, huh?"

"Why the heck would I forget something that I just said days ago?" Matthias feigned ignorance.

"Well, haven't you forgotten the– oh, right." He suddenly remembered the 'weird phenomenon' that happened to Matthias.

He opened the lunchbox and smelled the rich aroma of the meat, "Holy sh*t, this is amazing."

He proceeded to take a bite and an exaggerated but not really an exaggerated expression cake out from Key, "Holy sh*t, this exceeds amazingness!" He shouted, startling everyone.

"Lower down your voice, dimwit." 

"I smell something amazing." Suddenly, three girls wearing expensive outfits walked towards them. One of the girls looked at Key and his food and said imposingly, "Give me that."

"Why the fuck would I give it to you, Bettany?" Key glared at her.

"Ho? How dare you be arrogant in front of me?" She laughed haughtily.

"Stop your nonsense, Illegitimate bastard." Suddenly, out of nowhere, Matthias spoke coldly. The temperature went down sharply, making a lot of the people around shiver.

She shuddered and looked at Matthias, "Matthias?! Aren't you dead?!" She realized what she said and quickly covered her mouth.

Matthias chuckled coldly and slowly stood up, facing Bettany with his chin up, looking down at her, "Hah. You've become haughty now huh? Just because I left the family doesn't mean you can walk around with pride on your face." He crossed his arms and glared at her, "Even if I was banished from the family, 40% of the company's shares are still under my name and that status wouldn't change until the day that I die." He then sneered while looking at the bewildered woman.

"Some of the family's elders are also on my side so don't you father and daughter pair even think of bossing around the family." He smiled coldly and turned to sit once more.

"Matthias!" Bettany shrieked. The two girls were also mad. They were also a part of the Magsinghays. They are of the outer branch, but by sticking with Bettany, they can at least leech off some nutrients from her.

"What the heck are you screaming about, butt face?" Suddenly, a mad laugh was heard coming from the canteen door.

A handsome and composed teen was seen fixing his sleeves and walking towards them. Behind him was the one who yelled, someone with the same look as the handsome one but has in him a slight sense of frankness.

"Why the hell are you shouting, Edrick?" The composed one asked calmly but glaringly at Edrick.

"Oh, sorry big bro." Edrick laughed.

"Anyways.." The big bro spoke, "Bettany, you know that you are inside the school premises. Who gives you the strength and right to yell and be haughty here? You are extremely unethical."

The big bro paused and walked towards her. He stopped when he was only inches away from her and leaned forward, "If I see something like this happening again, expect a letter from the Student Council immediately the next day." He said coldly.

The students around gasped at the amazing display of power by the big bro. Bettany and the two girls were also shivering.

Edrick and Edmond are the most mysterious twins in FEU. Their background is so well-hidden and cannot be easily discovered even when using almost all of the Magsinghays' resources.

Inside the school, only the Student Union could pose a threat to Bettany and the girls.

She left grunting and quickly disappeared from everyone's view.

After she left, Edrick pounced at Matthias and cried fervently, "Hello, Cuz!"

Matthias chuckled helplessly and ruffled his hair, "Hello, Rick."

Key and Jeremy gasped. "What's this?" Key asked.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot to introduce him to you two." Matthias chuckled half-heartedly, "This is Edrick and Edmond Manresa, my cousins from my mother's side." He introduced them calmly to them.

"Gasp!" The two friends gasped, "Are they the family that kicked you out because of a scandal that you said?" Key asked and looked at the two with a hint of hostility. Jeremy tried to silence him as it felt that they were invading his personal issues. But Jeremy also looked at them warily.

Matthias was touched at the two's reaction. Before, they wouldn't be able to talk that much in front of someone mysteriously powerful like Edrick and Edmond, but they started glaring at them when they thought that they were the ones that kicked him out.

Being glared at by a kid wasn't really that scary, but being glared at the inside by 255 million plus years old souls hostilely, Edrick and Edmond felt the surroundings went cold and they shuddered involuntarily.

Matthias already noticed the tension building up so he defended, "No, you're mistaken. They are the Manresas, a literati family where my mother came from. They know that I am framed so they accepted me. But as I really want to live by myself, I roamed. Then, I met you two."

"A literati family?!" The two gasped even more. Although they don't know what literati family they are, they know the power of those kinds of families. It is either governmental or a hidden power.

"Will the treatment that I get from you two change?" Matthias asked them.

"Of course not!" Key stood up abruptly, "Even if you are as poor as a poor person or the forgotten heir of the Rothschilds, It wouldn't change the fact that I am your parent!"

"You're not!" Matthias slapped his head jokingly.

"You think that just that would make me change my treatment to you?" Jeremy laughed, "I discovered that you were something frightening even before this. Did my treatment of you get better? I guess not."

"That makes a point." Matthias thought for a moment and nodded.

"Oho? Cuz, could you introduce us to them?" Edrick spoke. After he said that, he was looked at by the five weirdly.

"I just did." Matthias shook his head and face palmed himself. 

"Oh my god, I'm disappointed." Key covered his face and suppressed his laugh.

"Stupid." Edmond shook his head and reprimanded him.

"Sorry, y'all!" Edrick covered his head in shame.
