The Golden Throne

"Liu Feng, let's go eat.I can't wait to show off to everyone that I am roommates with the famous Liu Feng, the one who got rid of Jean Klein."

Liu Feng opened his eyes. He was satisfied that he learnt everything that he wanted to, but he was irritated at how much his roommates disturbed him. He looked at all three of them, Alderan had come in a few minutes ago, and called them all for lunch, and told them,

"This is going to be a warning to all of you. Never disturb me when I am with my eyes closed. Else, there will be consequences."

"Sorry! I didn't know that you felt so protective about your 'meditation'.", Filden air quoted.

Liu Feng snapped back, "Just don't bother me about stupid stuff like food or showing of to your friends. I have more important things to worry about."

Filden just nodded, and said, "Well, you are up anyways, so why don't we just go to the cafeteria anyways."

Liu Feng followed the three of them into the cafeteria. It was bustling because it was lunch time. Then, everyone saw Liu Feng enter. A few hundred people talking just shut their mouths, and the full cafeteria just became silent. Liu Feng looked at the people, and just went forward to an empty table. Tessarion, Filden and Alderan took a seat.

Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. "Can't you find somewhere else to sit? I want some quiet."

"No other seats. You think I want to sit with you?", Alderan pointed out.

Liu Feng just nodded, and then started eating. The cafeteria just continued in the uncomfortable silence, with a few people whispering with each other here and there. Liu Feng just shook his head, and quickly ate, and left the place. The moment he stepped outside, a hundred different conversations about him started up.

"I heard that he single handedly defeated Jean."

"Don't be absurd, he's a freshman. I heard that the principal came so that's why Li Zhang got expelled."

"Well, I think that it's good that Li Zhang got kicked out. He was becoming an eye sore. He always favoured those Glade people, and it was getting on my nerves. He even let a girl get harassed, and shut her up, when it turned out that the prince was behind it. I think that she will come out now."

"Ya man. It's a good thing that he is gone."

Liu Feng heard all of this but he just felt anger.

"If he was that hated, then why did they not complain? Cowards. They can't do anything, so they wait for someone else to do it, and then they celebrate because of it."

He went back to his dorm, and then started writing something. After a while, Arad came in and said,

"Master, You told me to come here yesterday?"

"Yes Arad. Here, another set of what you have to say when people ask you anything. Remember, never go off script. Any problem and just say, 'please talk to my cousin about it. I don't know'. Got it?"

"Yes Master."

"And I told you not to call me master right?"

"Yes master, but no one is around, and I am uncomfortable calling you cousin. Please excuse me when no one is around."
