Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 140 Here to enjoy the Show

Inside the Library,

Nine stretched his legs under the rectangular table and picked up a nearby book with a sigh.

From the corner of his eyes, he could see the burning sun outside.

"It's already noon?"

The book he just picked up was thrown at the table again as he placed his head on the table.

Carcel who was sitting beside him frowned when he saw his behavior.

"Hey, don't just pick up a book and throw it away without even glancing at it. I arranged them after reading some you are mixing every book."

Nine gazed at Carcel and waved his hand.

"Sorry, I was just tired."

At a distance, Alec flipped a page of the book he was reading and mumbled under his breath while giving a side-long glance to Nine.

"At this rate, you are really going to fail."

He had been watching Nine but the latter was only tossing and turning a book instead of actually reading something.

Alec mumbled wasn't loud but because all the students present inside the Library were quietly reading, his voice resounded clearly inside everyone's ears.

Some chuckled while some gazed at Nine with pity. At the same time, Nine instantly removed his head from the table and glared at Alec.

"What did you say?"

Alec shrugged his shoulders innocently and just flipped another page of the book he was reading.

At the same time, a black-haired student entered the Library. There was a smirk present on the student's face.

He instantly walked toward where Nine and the others were sitting. After arriving in front of the table the student sat a few chairs away from Nine.

With a tired expression, Nine gazed at the new arrival.

"Jake you are here again? Didn't you say you already memorized the important stuff?"

Jake looked back at Nine with a smirk.

"I'm here to enjoy the sho."

Nine had a bad feeling when he saw Jake's evil smirk but then he started mumbling loudly.

"What show? Are you here to see my suffering? You want to make fun of the fact that I am not able to learn anything."

With a grin, Nine pointed at himself proudly.

"Let me tell you something even if I fail I won't be the person who gets the last spot. Hahaha."

His nasty laughter resounded inside the Library when Carcel smacked his head with a book.

"Can you keep quiet even for a second?"

"Ugh.."

Nine massaged his head and gazed at Carcel with resentment. He wanted revenge!

Carcel raised his brow when he saw Nine expression. With a smile, he tapped his storage ring.

A dry chuckle escaped Nine lips as he saw him tapping his storage ring. He immediately threw the thought of revenge out of the window.

'Who am I joking to? Revenge? Me from Carcel? No way. I am not in the mood to get purple eyes.'

He was a realistic person. He knew very well his chances of winning against Carcel were even lower than minus Zero.

While all this was happening, Kyle arrived in front of the Library. He entered inside and saw the unfamiliar old Librarian sitting beside the reception with dark circles.

'It's seemed master isn't present here.'

He thought inwardly and nodded at the old man before walking toward the place where he could hear sounds of chatter.

Around the many lines of bookshelves, he saw a lot of students reading books. Some of the students were even sitting on the floor.

No one was able to sense him when he walked quietly because of the artifact but a few standing students spotted him and when they saw Bia sitting on his head they started whispering.

Kyle ignored the whispers and hurriedly approached the large rectangular table. He instantly spotted some familiar faces.

Alec, Carcel, and all the others. Especially Nine the culprit behind his sour mood. Jake was also sitting around the table.

'I took a detour to avoid the people following behind me but it seemed Jake arrived before me.'

Kyle ignored Jake and approached Nine who was busy talking to Carcel.

Alec and some other students saw him walking and a surprise expression appeared on their faces.

Kyle stood behind Nine. He was angry and wanted to beat up the latter but decided to forgive him for the sake of friendship.

-'Aren't you going to punch him?'

Bia's childish voice chimed in as she gazed at Nine with an amused expression.

Jake looked at Kyle's figure and cleared his throat. He picked up a book from the table. His gaze filled with curiosity wasn't on the book he picked up instead his gaze was on Nine.

"If not you, I wonder who's going to take the last place in the theoretical exam."

Nine gazed at Jake and his lips curved upward in a smirk.

"Of course it's Kyle!"

He said loudly as a matter of fact but no one smiled instead everyone sitting around him was looking behind him. They shook their head with pity.

Alec gazed behind Nine and sighed with a sad expression.

"Buddy, we will probably meet again in your next life."

"What?"

With a confused expression, Nine turned around to look who was standing behind him but a powerful smack threw him out of his chair.

Like a kite, his body was thrown a meter away from the chair. He crashed with a standing student and angrily looked at the person who smacked him.

"Who dare....."

Two words. Only two words came out of his mouth before he saw Kyle standing behind the place he was sitting a moment ago. Nine gulped down the next words and sweat appeared on his forehead.

Within a second, he closed his eyes, and like a dead person, his body slumped down on the library ground. He didn't dare to move nor did he open his eyes became he knew if he did he was doomed!

Kyle looked at Nine who was lying lifelessly on the ground and scoffed. He wanted to throw another kick at him but the old Librarian's voice resounded inside everyone's head.

"Who is fighting inside the library? Don't you know the rules? Fighting outside the Arena is forbidden."

Kyle heard the approaching voice and instantly sat down on Nine chair. With a swift motion, he picked up a book and started reading with an engrossed expression.

The old Librarian who was wearing a blue robe arrived in front of the students and gazed around with narrow eyes. He didn't sense any mana fluctuations but he heard the loud banging sound and someone's painful shout.

After a second, his gaze landed on the person lying lifelessly on the ground.

"What happened here."

Everyone blinked their eyes and gazed at Kyle who was seriously flipping the pages of the book he just picked up.

The Librarian followed the kid's gaze and looked at Kyle.

At the same time, the moment Nine heard the Librarian's voice he instantly stood up with a newfound strength. He wanted to tell the world about the injustice he faced today!

Kyle looked up at the Librarian and pointed at Nine.

"Sir that person slipped and fell on the ground while he was finding a book from the bookshelf."

The librarian raised his brow with confusion. He gazed at Nine who was blinking his eyes. Kyle looked at Nine with a smile that wasn't a smile at all.

"Right?"

He questioned his voice deadly calm.

A cold shiver appeared on Nine's spine. He hurriedly nodded his head.

"Ye...s he is right. I slipped accidentally."

The Librarian frowned but left the kids alone. Nine dragged his body and after taking a u-turn he stood behind Alec, his powerful shield, and gazed at Kyle with a smile.

"Buddy. Long time no see. How have you been."

Kyle raised his brow with an 'Oh'.

"I am fine. It's just I want to stretch my muscles. How about you and me go to a nearby Arena to test our new skills?"

Nine body trembled. He hurriedly shook his head and took a step back.

"No, I am sorry bro I can't. I just remembered I have an important meeting with someone I don't know... I mean with someone I know."

He blabbered whatever appeared inside his mind and instantly fled from the library. He didn't even look back.

Kyle gazed at Nine fading figure and clicked his tongue. The others sitting around him all suppressed their laughter.

Alec looked at Kyle and threw a book at him with a smirk.

"Now that you are here start studying or Nine words can very well become reality."

Kyle caught the book It was about basic mana theories. A sour expression appeared on his face as he heard Alec's words.

With a sigh, he opened the book. He looked at the first page, and read the content. It was very easy that's why he memorized it after only reading it once. After half a minute, he flipped the page and arrived at the next one... It was very easy as well.
