Second Floor

A sort of silver spoon cartel made up of the most famous and envied guys in Elit.

"Ugh, the smell. What are you doing there?"

Viru asked, scrunching up his nose.

He treated me as if he had seen me just yesterday.

Which is why it's all the more awkward for me.

Not only was I not used to their young faces, but it had also been years since I had a face-to-face conversation with them.

"Aren't you going to answer, punk?"

Viru asked harshly.

I responded briefly.

"I'm working, you fucking pig. Are you blind?"

"…Wha, what? Hey, did you just say-"

"Pfft."

Viru blinked in surprise, and Lyra couldn't hold back her laughter.

Jay, the blond, chuckled and said.

"Wow~ Kevin, you've grown quite a mouth since we last saw you. The trash suits you. Keep doing that job. Forget about things like college boards."

Jay, that bastard, was as disgusting and rude as ever. His condescending attitude, his leech-like face, everything.

"...."

But, the coldest and most irritating gaze was, as always, from—' Emma'.

Emma Reivers.

She was looking at me with contempt. She seemed to find me as disgusting as the food waste I had just thrown away, no, even more so. She despised my very existence.

"That, that motherfucker. Hey. What did you just say? A fucking pig? Mountain, a mountain pig?!"

Virus's face turned red as he took a step forward.

"Hey, hey! Don't mess with Kevin!"

But then, Lyra suddenly intervened.

"Kevin is trying hard to make a living! If you can't help him, at least don't pick a fight! Come on, let's go somewhere else!"

With a determined look on her face, she grabbed her friends and pulled them away.

What's her deal? Why is she defending me?

Anyway, who cares about that?

"Guys, seriously we are runway here now? I mean this is where Kevin works."

Jay complained, clearly not pleased that I was working here.

"Well fuck off, if you don't want to come here then."

I also gave him my answer.

"You, what the fuck? Do you want another beating from?"

"Oh, yeah then came here, let's see who will beat who."

I said as I folded my waiter's outfits and took myself in a fighting position.

"you will be sorry that you messed up with the wrong guy."

He also started ready for the fighting stance that passed on to him from his family.

Lyra and Viru who were bickering with each other now is silent as they watch the whole thing going on.

As for Emma.

"Stop it both of you."

We both from as our punch was going to connect each other.

Jay turned his head to Emma with questions in his eyes.

"Why? Why did you stop me, you know that I can beat this idiot without any sweat."

"Are you an idiot or something Jay?"

"What?."

"The College Board exam going to start soon and if you create any problems right now they can expel you, even your family could do anything against Elit Magic High School."

After Emma finished talking there was a realization in Jay's eyes, he knew that he was very lucky at the moment.

He also knew that what Emma said was true, after all, Elit Magic High School is the number one institution on this continent.

Even his family could do nothing against them.

"You also don't have to worry about Kevin, because he is going to fail the exam anyway."

"But what are we going to do now? We came here for some food and fun."

Viru asked everyone around him.

"Yeah, you are right Emma. This idiot going to fail anyway."

With that said he returned to his owner-Emma.

"Let's go! We can eat somewhere else! I'll pay!"

Why the hell that crazy woman is pretending to be nice… I think I have an idea.

Is she my Secret Friend?

"You, you fucking Kevin, hey. You're dead if you cross my path."

"Jay, why is your mouth so foul!"

"Get ready to be punched, huh?!"

I flipped off Jay furthermore, who kept berating me until the end.

——No way, that son of a bitch!

Ignoring the fuming Jay, I returned to the Night Bar.

"How came you came late, when you just went to throw a trash outside?"

As soon as I entered a man asked me.

He seems to be in his late twenties with Dark brown hair, he has dark eyes and above handsome face.

His name is Joe and he is a senior at work.

"Sorry I just ran into the problem, that's why I'm late."

"problem...? Anyway, it doesn't matter, you have to second floor. "

Second floor? But to go to the second floor you have to promote first.

What is going on here?

"Umm, senior but I have to promote first here on the first floor right?"

He sighed and shook his head then looked at me.

"you are not getting a promotion on your first day at work, you are going to the second floor because we have low staff today, That's all."

'... Ohh, I see so it's because of the number of low staff here.'

"Let's hurry, we don't have much time."

"Okay," I said and started to follow behind him.

We soon reach the group floor where few minutes ago I was serving food and drinks.

There are many people in front of my eyes. They are dancing as the DJ is playing a song.

In different sections, people are eating food without any disturbance, like they don't have any effect on all the commotion going on around them.

It's Because of [Silence Enchantment].

It's an Enchantment created by mages to silence their surroundings.

It was mostly used for hunting monsters but nowadays people have begun to use it like this.

I turned my gaze to a third and final section of the ground floor.

In that section, you can see people drinking alcohol. That section is full of all types of alcoholic night bars.

Anyway, we soon reach the edge of the ground floor.

In front of me was that corridor with stairs that reached the second floor.

But two people are guarding that place.

They dressed in black and white office suits with black sunglasses on their face.

They are here to guard this place from unwanted people.

As we reached to corridor two of them stood in front of us.

They were high exceeding 7ft, and in front of them, we were like a child.

"Halt!"

They said and we stopped.

Joe soon reached into his pocket on the shirt and pulled out some kind of ID.

As soon as the two of them see that, they step aside and let us go inside of corridor.

"senior what was that you just pulled out from your pocket?"

I asked Jeo, I was confused by the sudden behaviour of the guards.

"Oh, this! It's like an access card to go upstairs for us, that's all."

"I see."

So without this card, no one can go upstairs to the employee.

Of course, the customers who come here have to pay to go upstairs or they have to join a membership Night Bar Club.

"Let me tell you some rules, so you don't get in trouble."

Joe said as we walked up the stairs.

"Okay."

He glanced back to me from the head and said.

"First, you must always smile at the ladies, even if they are way older than you are.

Second, many ladies come here to enjoy. Among those ladies some sometimes high-ranking or noblewomen also came, so you should better watch your tongue if you say something that unpleasant then you are fired on the spot."

"Third, you must do what they told you to do. The last and final rule you must not spread their identity outside of the room you are serving if you do spread their identity to will be put and killed."

As Jeo continued telling me the rule, my back was drenched in cold sweat.

Spreading their identity as noblewomen or men in this kind of place could make a big scandal in the Eldoria that's why they have this tough rule here.

I already have Brain tumour cancer I'm already dying inside, plus I don't want to die before I take my revenge on the Aurelia family.

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Kevin?"

"Yes senior, I understand it."

"Good then, and look we already reached the second floor."

He said and I turned my head ahead and he was right we already reached to second floor.
