Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 69: At October (3): Exam Week Report

In the last weeks of October, the Prodigal Center Academy had begin to do the Mid Exam Report Card Distribution Day as the student's parents will come and see the mid-term results of their children in this academy.

At the time, Donovan was accompanied by his father, Duncan, as both of them entered the Class and wait for Donovan's name to be called by the teacher.

"( Why is this taking so long, is there something wrong with my results? )" Donovan wonders as he had s bad feeling after waiting for his name to be called so long but it seems the teacher simply forgot to call him.

When he see the other students who came before him as they received their reports, most of them looked happy as they left which made Donovan worried as he fears that his results are not good enough to be seen.

"( No, no, why are they keeping my report in the last order? ) " Donovan says as he then sees Carlos who just recently came with his 'mother', as the two sit nearby his place.

At the time, Donovan begin to wonder if the reason he had to wait for so long is that he is late for the report day attend since Carlos whom the teacher knew to be praised for his constant great results also has not been called by the teacher too.

"( I hope seeing him here would give me at least some confidence about this situation. )"

"( If he's also late, then he should've been ... ) "

" Carlos Antares Calibur... " Mr. Crowler, Donovan's homeroom teacher said as he calls Carlos's name which shocks Donovan for he begins to panic and wondered why Carlos who was late for the Report Day Attend, even later than himself, is called first at the time.

As Carlos's name was called, he and his mother approached the teacher's table his mother arrogantly shakes his hand while Carlos just silently watches her in disgust as it seems he despise how his 'mother' had to arrogantly presents herself in front of everyone that he meets, making them 'sometimes' uncomfortable when seeing her, just like Mr. Crowler who felt awkward as Madam Aria Scarlet raise her chin every time she speaks as if she doesn't even thank Mr. Crowler for even teaching Carlos, the son of her great husband.

" So, Mr. Teacher... "

" How did little Carl accomplish in his studies? " she says with a high arrogant tone which made Mr. Crowler almost feel irritated while looking at Carlos which immediately made him change his feelings and his expressions regarding the madam as he just blatantly reports and presents everything about Carlos's accomplishments to her.

" Oh my, my little Carl is so great!!! " she shouts in excitement while looking sharply at Carlos which made him uneasy as madam Scarlet Calibur bluntly promotes all of Carlos's capability that she knows ( or, does she? and did she make it up?) and decided to share all of it in front of Mr. Crowler, Donovan, Duncan and some students and parents who are now available on the room which is so inappropriate as all of them begin to look at Carlos after she states all of it, making Carlos had to bow his head as it seems what she says doesn't even ring a bell in his mind and memory.

"( Stop it, you overproud stepmother... ) "

"( Don't add more of my accomplishments in order to make me work more for you... ) " Carlos says in his mind as he clenched his hands Mr. Crowler had seen the gesture and decided to talk about a new topic that is more non-academic than before in order for them to leave the place as it seems Madam Scarlet Calibur herself seems unsettled after hearing Carlos should take a holiday or something (probably because she wants to use Carlos for doing something more for pride and it seemed couldn't care less about Carlos's feelings), as Mr. Crowler add some advice for Carlos's activities during the holidays, Mrs. Scarlet immediately ask him if they can leave as she bluntly says that Carlos needs to do some courses after this and loudly tells that he's being late.

After the two left, everyone who had stayed there begins to talk about it as they all commented on Madam Scarlet's behavior.

" That Second Wife Royal is being too full on herself, isn't she? " said one of the student's fathers as he was immediately replied by another student's mother who agreed with his statement as she tells him that the rumors about her 'marriage' condition had slowly been revealed by some independent media as they stated more about the facts of Madam Scarlet Calibur's marriage with Lord Arthur Calibur.

While the other parents said the rumors about her, Duncan and Donovan were still silent as they could only focus on when will Donovan's name be called.

" Why your name is not being called, Donovan? "

" Is there something wrong? "

" I don't know father, should I ask the teacher after he finishes his review of Clara's mid-term Report? " Donovan says to Duncan which made Duncan silently wonder if this is even Donovan's Class or if they were already set foot in the wrong class for so long.

As they began to wonder about it, finally, Donovan's name is called he and Duncan then approach Mr. Crowler as he reviews Donovan's mid-term accomplishments which is quite good since Donovan had many A's in many subjects that the Class had to offer, but despite him having so many A's, Mr. Crowler than shows that Donovan had a problem and that is.

" You can see here sir... "

" I know that judging from your son's origins, he must've honed his magics for combat purposes as I can see it from your job and your wife's job which made sense to your son's lacking in this, one subject. " Mr. Crowler says as he points the [Incantation Theory] subject, the subject where Donovan got a C since the teacher explains that Donovan still had some trouble in his Incantations bits of knowledge and tells both Donovan and Duncan that Donovan should've intensively increased the knowledge of Magic Incantations while still honing his particular combat set of magic skills.

As he says that, Duncan understands that he already expects that Donovan seemed to have trouble in Incantations, especially in long Incantations that he too had problems with it.

" I see teacher, this kind of thing is not entirely unexpected since most of us, even in the Richter family never focused ourselves on performing Magic Incantations or Magic Rituals whatsoever. " Duncan says as he remembers the warrior nature of his big family and decides to probably let Donovan take some courses about Incantations in order to increase his grade in this subject the Teacher agrees and gives him a piece of advice that since Duncan is an S Rank, he could ask some Hunters who excelled in Incantations to teach Donovan about some Incantation Magic that he could use in order to widen his knowledge about it.

Hearing that, Duncan then accepts as he could do that on this Holiday as he planned to take Donovan in one of his Raids which also shocked the people in the Class as they heard while Duncan and Donovan leave the place, leaving the people to discuss of what Duncan just said earlier.

" Did that S Rank Hunter say that he will take the 'Dungeon Boy' to the Dungeon? " said Goriath's father who came without Goriath as he had his course in the holidays.

" Oh by the gods, is he insane!!!? "

" I know that the Donovan boy is founded on the Dungeon, but... " the fathers and mothers of the students debate about it while the person they debated had left the academy to start their holiday after the end of the Mid-Terms.
