"Hyaaaaarh! Just 2 more weeks of this boring school life! Kyahaa!!" Javier eximed, standing on his chair with arms raised like a triumphant warrior.


    "Soon! Soon! I can go back home! To Armand region! Gyahahahaha!"


    Liana sighed heavily, pressing a hand to her temple. "Young Master, please don''t shout like that in ss. You''ll cause a scene."


    Gloria, seated nearby, smiled knowingly. "Ara~ Let him enjoy his excitement, Liana. He''s been counting down the days for weeks."


    "Ehehehehe! I can''t wait to go back! More fun, more freedom! Gyahahahaha!" Javier continued, his enthusiasm unabated.


    Liana shook her head, feeling her headache intensify with every dramatic gesture. It had been over a month since the battleground event was canceled due to an assassination attempt. The school had returned to normal, but the excitement before the event was long gone. For Javier, the days crawled by, and his longing for Armand was palpable.


    "Young Master, you know shouting won''t make the days go by faster, right?" Liana remarked, her tone a mix of fondness and exasperation.


    "I know! But it feels good to let it out! Ehehehehe!"


    "And when you get home?" Gloria asked, resting her chin in her hand. "What''s the first thing you''re going to do, Young Master?"


    "Easy!" he dered, proudly pointing a thumb at himself. "Buddy, Pikko, and I are going to explore the whole region again! I miss hunting, grilling meat, and sneaking into ces I''m not supposed to! Gyahaha!"


    The other noble kids in ss F turned their attention to Javier, who proudly stood on his chair,ughing maniacally as if free from the school''s monotony.


    "Hyaaaaarrr!" he shouted, his voice echoing through the ssroom, arms waving theatrically. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and his wide grin lit up the room.

    The lower-ranked noble kids—children of barons and lower barons—exchanged nervous nces. Though ustomed to Javier''s antics, none would approach him casually.


    "The delinquent noble is at it again," one whispered, chuckling uneasily.


    "Yeah, but he''s not so bad, is he?" another replied, eyes fixed on their desk.


    Despite his chaotic presence, Javier had earned a unique reputation. As a count''s son, he could easily belittle others, yet his antics brought a strange energy to dull ss F. His reputation as the "delinquent noble" kept his ssmates at a respectful distance.


    Noticing the stares, Javier shed a devilish grin. "What? You lot jealous of my ns for freedom? Gyahaha!"


    Awkwardughter filled the room as students quickly returned to their tasks, eager to avoid bing the next target of Javier''s yful jabs.@@novelbin@@


    Liana, seated beside him, let out a resigned sigh. "Young Master, if you keep this up, you''ll scare them even more."


    "Ehehehe! Let them be scared!" Javier dered, striking a victorious pose.


    "Haaa... maybe they''re not scared of you. They''re just smart enough to avoid the chaos you always bring," Liana muttered, shaking her head as she adjusted her notes.


    Javier turned his attention to the window, still standing proudly on his chair like the self-proimed king of ss F. His sharp eyes spotted a group of noble kids lingering outside—sons of viscounts, counts, and even a marquis. Known bullies, they sneered at the ss F students, clearly up to no good.


    Javier leaned forward, resting a foot on his desk for emphasis. "Oi!" he shouted, his voice slicing through the ssroom buzz. "Looking for a fight?!"


    The bullies froze, their smirks fading as they realized who had addressed them.


    Javier''s grin turned devilish. "Do you want me to kick your ball again?" he mocked, mimicking a kicking motion. "No? Then scram!"


    The memory of Javier''s infamous crotch kick during the battleground qualifier haunted them. One of the bullies, pale-faced and trembling, grabbed the sleeve of the marquis'' son. "Let''s get out of here!" he hissed.


    The group didn''t need to be told twice. With hurried steps and barely concealed fear, they bolted down the hallway, their bravado vanishing.


    Javier watched them flee,ughing maniacally. "Gyahahahaha! And stay gone!"


    The rest of ss F exchanged amused nces. The delinquent noble might be loud and entric, but he had be their unofficial protector.


    Liana sighed, rubbing her temple. "Young Master, do you have to cause such a scene every time?"


    "Scene? What scene? " Javier replied smugly, hopping down from the chair and plopping back into his seat.


    Gloria giggled softly. "Ara~ At least he''s keeping the ssroom free of pests, Liana."


    Meanwhile, outside, Buddy let out an enthusiastic squawk, bounding across the courtyard as he chased after Pikko. She darted nimbly around trees, teasing Buddy by pecking at the ground before taking off again.


    Determined not to lose, Buddy squawked louder, pping his wings dramatically for extra speed as he rounded a corner, nearly toppling over a small decorative bush.


    The courtyard buzzed with their antics, drawing the attention of passing students, some chuckling at the sight of the yful Pekkos.


    "Are those... really mounts?" one bewildered noble student asked.


    "They belong to that delinquent noble from ss F," another replied, watching as Buddy triumphantly tapped Pikko with his beak.


    Pikko squawked back indignantly, spinning around to chase Buddy in retaliation.


    Their chaotic game continued, rustling leaves and bubblingughter filling the air. The school guards, tasked with maintaining order, simply sighed and let the scene unfold. They had learned long ago not to try to herd Javier''s Pekkos.


    "Two more weeks! Kikiki! Two weeks!" Javier eximed, his eyes wide with exaggerated excitement as he leaned forward to stare intently at Liana.


    "Young Master, please calm down," Liana replied, shaking her head but unable to hide a faint smile.


    Javier pped his hands dramatically. "Two weeks, Liana! Freedom awaits! No more boring school, no more stupid events, and no more pompous noble brats trying to show off their pathetic magic! I''m going back home to Armand region! Gyahahaha!"


    He jumped onto his chair, spreading his arms wide as if proiming victory.


    The other students in ss F nced his way, some rolling their eyes and others chuckling nervously. They had long gotten used to the antics of the so-called "delinquent noble."


    "Two weeks of this..." Liana muttered, pinching the bridge of her nose.


    "And you know what, Liana?" Javier leaned closer, grinning.


    "What is it, Young Master?"


    "I''m going to do absolutely nothing productive for these two weeks. Kikiki!"


    "Young Master, that''s not something to brag about," Liana replied, shaking her head.


    Javierughed harder. "Freedom, Liana! Two weeks till I teach Buddy and Pikko some new tricks before we leave! Gyahahaha!"


    Outside the ssroom, Buddy let out an enthusiastic squawk, seemingly understanding his master''s excitement. Pikko, ever graceful, replied with a dignified chirp, unimpressed by Buddy''s antics but willing to indulge him.


    Liana sighed, ncing at Gloria, who smiled serenely. "You''ve got your hands full, don''t you, Liana?"


    "Every single day," Liana chuckled. "But at least he keeps things... lively."
