บท 304: 304-My Monster Mate Attacked My Friends.

Everyone went silent after hearing the announcement. And by everyone, I mean everyone—including Maximus and Kaye.

Maximus looked so restless that he avoided making eye contact with me. It seemed like his eyes kept filling with tears, but he was trying to distract himself by fiddling with the watch on his wrist, pretending to fix it nonstop.

Kaye had a habit of going numb—staying still in his spot, clenching his jaw without much movement. Norman just wanted the speech to be over. That much was obvious.

After Emmet announced it, he told everyone to say goodbye.

"Now, Rayden! Come with us," Emmet pointed at Rayden, who looked like he had been struck by lightning.

The brothers barely moved. Norman had to pat them on the back to get them to follow Emmet into the academy. He was the only one among the three who passed me a quick glance before turning around and leaving after his brother.
