Chapter 204 - 204: More Upset

Lucifer’s second year was also over soon, and it came the time of another Yearly Exam.

The Class A students once again took part in the exam, which was vastly different than the last exam.

Dash was entirely determined to win this time to gain back his lost reputation. At least he couldn’t lose against Lucifer like last time. He believed that if that happened, it was going to be a slap on his face.

His Grandfather and the Master of the Great Family of Franci were watching everything after all. Even though his grandfather didn’t say anything, Dash believed that his loss was spoiling the reputation of the Great Franci Family.

He swore to himself that no matter what, he was going to win.

Unfortunately, as the Second Yearly Exam was over, the results were against his expectations. He once again couldn’t win first place.

The first place was once again won by Lucifer, frustrating Dash even more. As for the second place, it was taken by Cassius, who once again seemed like he couldn’t care any less about who won.

Dash only managed to take the third place, with Ren taking the fourth this time. Dray and Rune were fifth and sixth, switching their last positions.

"Congrats, Alex Alaric. You took the first place two years in a row. Not bad, but I must warn you. Don’t break the rules, and you can become a big name," Franci told Lucifer as he glanced at Lucifer’s bracelet, which had one red light.

"I’m sure you know if you broke the rule two more times, you’re going to be expelled. So be careful," he further said.

In the second year, Lucifer hadn’t broken any rule, but there were still three more years to go.

"You can all go back. You’ll have two days of holiday to rest. Enjoy your days and don’t be late for the next class," Franci told the students as he left.

The students once again left. None of them noticed the twisted expression of Dash, who was getting more and more frustrated with Lucifer.

Last year he worked the hardest he could to win but even then, he couldn’t overtake a mere commoner?

Dash went back to his private room, where he stayed alone. In fact, this room seemed to be three times the size of the room that Lucifer, Jason, and Kevin shared.

"Alex! Alex! Alex! This f*cking Alex! Why doesn’t he just die!" Dash let out in frustration as he picked up a pot and tossed it towards the wall in frustration.

"For now, this topic is inside the campus. The fact that I lost to a commoner isn’t known outside."

"I can’t let Alex graduate at the top of our class, or the whole world will know this! My Franci Family will become a joke! I can’t let him graduate no matter what!" Dash let out in frustration.

He walked back and forth to control his anger, but he couldn’t.

"I tried the righteous path, but that doesn’t work. Fine, I’ll try other paths then! It doesn’t matter! Alex Alaric won’t graduate! No matter what I have to do, I’ll get him expelled!"

...

"How are you?"

"Not fine. I miss you so much, Grandpa."

In a meeting room, Lucifer and Grandpa Chi were sitting, talking to each other. Grandpa Chi had come again to meet Lucifer after getting a permit. In fact, it was his seventh meeting with Lucifer in two years.

"I miss you too, little devil. Just three more years. Graduate fast, and you can come home," the old man told Lucifer.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll definitely be back before you know it. Also, do you know? I again got first place in the yearly exams? Second time in a row. Aren’t you proud of your grandson?" Lucifer said, grinning.

It seemed like he genuinely was happy in the moment, having a life that a young boy deserved to have... A life filled with love of family.

He even showed the old man his beautiful ring, which had his name written on it.

"Do you even need to ask? Your Grandpa was always proud of you," Grandpa Chi answered as he rubbed Lucifer’s head.

"By the way, I brought your favorite snacks," he further said as he gave a bag to Lucifer.

"Aww, you’re the best, Grandpa!" Lucifer exclaimed as he stood up. He walked over to the old man and hugged him tightly before he walked back to his seat.

"No one is disturbing you, right?" Grandpa Chi asked. "You know, there are many people in this world who get jealous of someone’s success."

"Since you won this ring twice, you might have formed some unintentional enemies too. So stay alert and be friendly with everyone."

"I will, Grandpa. I don’t think I made any enemies. Everyone here is so nice. Don’t worry," Lucifer replied calmly.

Grandpa Chi looked at his clock and noticed the time. "Looks like the visitor time is almost over. I’ll come next time."

He stood up.

"Also, Alex. I really am proud of you. I think you really can do something great for this world one day. So work hard."

Lucifer also stood up as he hugged the old man, feeling sad that he had to leave.

The hug lasted for a short time before the two of them separated. Grandpa Chi left the academy while Lucifer walked back to his room, looking down

...

In the Variant Uprising headquarters, an important meeting was taking place. It had been six years since Lucifer had disappeared.

But they were also informed by the Predictor that Lucifer was going to return and that return was less than two years away.

The meeting was attended by a few top Variants of Level Five, including Kellian and Yaliza. Isona, Dion, and Vega were also attending the meeting. The Predictor wasn’t in the meeting this time either.

" How’s the surveillance of Varacity’s house going?" Raia asked Vega.

"It’s going as expected. We are getting the direct feed of her house. Our agents are also undercover, keeping an eye on her." Vega answered.

" Do you really think Lucifer is going to return? And why would he come to her and not us?" Dion asked Raia.

"There’s a possibility. Predictor saw this vision. In two more years, Lucifer might come to meet Veracity. It could even be before that. So we need to keep an eye on her," Raia answered.

"Are we again believing Predictor?" Isona asked, frowning. "He’s the reason we lost Lucifer in the first place. Because of his wrong prediction, we let Lucifer go alone with Caen, and we all know the result!"

"Caen is still missing with Lucifer! I don’t think we should blindly believe Predictor again," she further added.
