Chapter 257: I Should Have Known
The submission to take the practical exams instead of the written ones was simple enough, taking little more than five minutes as I signed the paperwork and submitted it to the group of Professors that were beginning to organize everything.
We were told that we had to wait until tomorrow in order to learn whether we were accepted for the practical exams and who we were going to be heading out into the world with, which immediately had both Lu’Shaki and Kha’Miero frowning as they sat beside me at lunch.
The Orc was a little grumpy as she stabbed at her steak and stared a hole into her plate, while the Draconian masked her disappointment a bit better as she just sat there, nursing a glass of wine that paired well with her own steak.
As for me I wasn’t that concerned about the practical exam since it was just something that I wanted to do and not something that really ’mattered’, while the idea of going out with a bunch of people I barely knew was actually somewhat exciting.
I had spent so long already being practically glued to my friend’s sides, so there was a sliver of me that was actually hoping to have a group that I had never talked with before to do these practical exams with.
"That’s stupid."
Lu’Shaki’s grumbling drew me out of my thoughts and made me smile as I glanced over at her, contemplating what to say for a moment before I just decided to shrug and resume eating, though she had caught that smile and felt ’aggrieved’.
She showed her displeasure by reaching over and grabbing my thigh, squeezing it hard and frowning at me before she leaned close and whispered "What’s got you smiling like that, hm? Laughing at my plight?"
"Oh~? The potential chance that you won’t have me around is something you’re considering as a ’plight’ now~? How flattering~!"
My ever expressive Orc friend tilted her head and stared at me from up close before she lunged forwards to steal a kiss, doing exactly what I was expecting from her and drawing out a soft moan as I enjoyed her taste after having taken a bite of this scrumptious meal.
When she separated from me she softly growled "I told you before, didn’t I? I’ve grown accustomed to having such a beautiful Human fawn over me day and night... of course I’m aggrieved.
