The four of them and a cute cat returned to visit the cafe and restaurant called Tasty Eden. Unlike last night, this time Elysia only proposed light meals and latte drinks, only the cat had a big meal with lots of meat and fish.

Brian looked at the white cat lazing around the table with a bitter and resentful expression. He can only grieve at this month's money which he lost half just to buy food for the cat.

If only Elysia and Evelyn maybe he could treat the two of them every day, but if this greedy cat came along then he could only starve after treating them twice.

He had absolutely no idea that Vanessa had given him leniency because her master forbade her from overeating again with a reminder that a fat cat should go on a diet program.

Vanessa really likes yummy food, of course, she is afraid of the diet menus mentioned by her master. Because of that, she only ate a few dozen menus and then kept quiet, after saying she was still full and couldn't eat more so as not to become fat.

"So, Mr. Brian, what would you like to tell or consult with me?" Elysia stirred her latte casually, after having lunch together and it was time to discuss why they were here.

"Miss Elysia, I want to ask about a subject that somehow always bothered me. Do you still remember what happened during the afternoon class after the introduction of all the students?"

Brian immediately turned to look at Elysia with a smile, he put his hands on the table and held them together.

"I still remember it, is there something complicated incident there?" Elysia tilted her head cluelessly.

"At that time, most of the new students looked at me with disdain and the rest were just curious, but at that time only you didn't look at all. What do you think about me and David? We are students who fail to advance to second grade." Brian smiled a little bitterly.

'This guy named Brian really cares about your point of view, Lil Ely. Hehe... To the point where he can't calm down before he gets your opinion.'

'He just feels insecure and restless like a lost child. At that time I should have looked at him too, huh. To be honest, I don't care if he's a failed student or not.'

'Then help him find his way home. You are very wise in your imaginary world, and now we are in a world of fantasy. That will be of great help.' Elena smiled warmly at Elysia who is very kind and clueless about relationships, she shouldn't have intervened this time

'En.'

"Hmm... Actually, I don't think you're a failed student. I won't prosecute someone just for their failure in something. It's also not my right to label you a failed product just because of what happened to you." Elysia smiled softly as she stirred her latte.

"Everything will come for reasons we may not know. Few people know how hard you try and few people care about it. You know that you also really know what you need and what you want to do. Chase your dreams with determination, and believe you are almost there."

She smiled with motivational suggestions that she had thought of back then. For so many reasons, Brian's soul began to tremble as if Elysia knew all about him. His countless failures, his futile endeavors, feeling alienated, and outcasted to the worst of it was simply ignored.

He lowered his head while thinking about his past efforts until now that had never been sweet. His main purpose in entering this renowned academy was because he wanted to become a great knight who was proud and respected.

Brian has lived in the Marquess family, his own family for 16 years, and has always been treated that he only lives with them and is not a direct descendant of the head of the family.

As a second child who failed in many ways, he had failed his family's high hopes, and his older brother was already in the limelight for his glorious achievements.

He has talent but is not honed and awakened, he already knows it but no one cares about the process than the result. He harbored tremendous envy and anger over himself, he was lost somewhere.

These kind words from the girl younger than him seemed to shed light on the way home that he needed to take, a path he had to take.

He had indeed failed to advance to class because of the repercussion of magic energy that went out of control when he exceeded the limits of what his body could support. He was disabled for three months in the academy intensive care and recovered two weeks ago.

David also lowered his head while thinking about his failure, he failed to take the promotion exam and don't have enough points at the end of the year due to illness with a high fever.

A month passed and he recovered as the new school year began, the same fate that had brought Brian and David together. Now he's moved from bronze to silver, in the same room as Brian because of that. 

He has become fond of complimenting his boss because his boss will look a lot more cheerful because of that compliment. His boss will also work harder to compensate for the praise he has given so that his boss's boasting will not become mere nonsense.

Unfortunately, Brian didn't know that, the two of them were kind of silly and dumb because they were having fun, only each of them knew why.

Brian became fond of being praised because he was never praised for what he did, while David had considered Brian his boss because they had so much in common that they seemed destined.

"Nee~ Why are you both looking down, Mr. Brian and Mr. David. Have my words offended you? Then please forgive me."

The pleasant voice of the incredibly kind beautiful girl immediately brought the two of them back from their train of thought, the two of them glued to Elysia's worried face.

"Hehe... It's nothing... Thank you for your kind advice, Miss Elysia. If I may know, what am I like in your eyes?" Brian smiled as he nudged David, he was worried that the latter would start daydreaming about his idol girl.

"Erm... You are in my eyes? It's quite strange to ask because we haven't known each other that long, but let me answer it. Even though you are still a bit childish, excessive, and seem foolish... You are a hard-working person, you will get your reward later for your efforts."

Elysia was reluctant to judge anyone she had just met at first, but Brian's beaming face seemed to say he could take anything. She smiled innocently, not knowing her honest words had stabbed Brian three times because it felt too precise and accurate.

"Yes... Thank you, I will try even harder to achieve my dreams. As per your request because I lost the mock battle a while ago, twice as hard!" Brian felt weak but immediately got up with renewed vigor.

"Hehe... that's right. The hardest thing is the decision to act and the rest is just your tenacity. Now you're determined so you just have to keep trying your best until the end." Elysia nodded and smiled then took a sip of her latte.

Evelyn seemed to have no role in this conversation, she just smiled at her best friend who had just given a new spirit of motivation to these two men who seem lost.

"Then it's time for us to go. Evelyn and I still need to buy ingredients at the convenience store. Thank you for your treat." Elysia saw everything seemed over and now it's time to go, she gave Evelyn a wink signal.

"Oh yes, it's all pleasure for us to have time with you. Then we won't hold you back any longer, I wish you a wonderful day." Brian smiled understandingly.

"Yes, then see you later."

"Have a nice day, Mr. Brian and Mr. David. Thanks for the treat hehe..."

Elysia and Evelyn quickly leave there with Vanessa in her master's embrace. Brian and David watched the two girls for a moment until they came out of the quarter.

Brian sighed with renewed determination but before long, a maid arrived with a bill that needed to be paid. His determination has been strengthened but his wallet is not. The poor wallet can only cry when the coins are taken by the owner, and only half of it is left.
