Romance Of Flame And Ice Chapter 164

"I don't mean to be rude but as a prestigious school known for having a good reputation, we have to take note of things like this so if there are any problems with their family such as...their parents getting divorced, please feel free to tell us," the headmistress answered, Yu Yan scoffed with her head lowered then she raised her head with a sharp look in her eyes.
"And what makes you think they might have any family problem?" Yu Yan questioned
"well, I wouldn't say there is anything in particular, it is just that the way they are dressed....". Yu Yan turned to their twins by her side to see if there is anything especially wrong with their dressing but the twins were folding their hands on their chest with a sharp glare directed at the headmistress who seemed oblivious of their glare.
Yu Yan realized that if she doesn't shut the headmistress up soon then the twins might say something rude to her.
"Mrs, I don't think it is necessary that you judge their family relationship by how they are dressed, I don't even see how it relates but if you must know, their parents are still together and all is well with their family, just because they do not dress luxuriously like other rich kids don't mean they are not one or they are below others," Yu Yan replied, the headmistress was flustered by her answer, she wasn't expecting Yu Yan to talk back at her in such rude but polite manner, she composed herself with a sophisticated smile.
"Please don't be offended, I..."
"Can they go to their classes now, I see no reason why we are still in your office when the enrollment process has been completed beforehand," Yu Yan interjected, the twins struggled to stop themselves from bursting into a loud burst of laughter, seeing how embarrassed the headmistress look but she still forced herself to smile.
"No problem miss Yu Yan, that would be taken care of right away," she replied then she gently hit the metal button on the table.
Ding!!
"I would like the teacher for the home tutor for the emerald class to come to my office," she said, speaking into the table phone on the table, she ended that call and turned to Yu Yan.
"By the way miss Yu Yan, I would like to ask a question, what conglomerate family are you from?" the headmistress asked, trying her best to sound as polite as possible, seeing the way Yu Yan spoke tp her, she was convinced that they must be from a very prominent family so she didn't want to offend her....just yet.

"I am not anyone special, just someone from an average class, as for them, their father who is my brother owns one of the best developing companies in this country, if he can afford your school then I don't think there is a need to ask that," Yu Yan replied, the twins turned to themselves and joined their index fingertips together in excitement while the headmistress frowned at her answer.
Now that she knows that they aren't from any special family, she didn't intend to be too polite anymore.
"No wonder...."
"I thought you called someone to come for them," Yu Yan interjected knowing that she was going to say something unpleasant and she didn't want to make their conversation a big scale argument, she was frustrated seeing that Yu Yan didn't even give her the chance to retaliate.
"Please be patient, there are lots of important students to attend to, he will be here soon," the headmistress replied with a hint of insult, telling them that they are not as important as the other student.
"I would very much appreciate that,"
After she spoke, a male teacher with average looks and a towering build came into the office after knocking on the door, he bowed his head slightly, standing by the headmistress, then he turned to look at Yu Yan who wasn't even looking at his face.
"Hi, I am Dave," he introduced with his hand stretched out, Yu Yan glanced at his hand and then raised her gaze to look at his face, then she raised her hand to his.
"I am Yu Yan," she responded
While the headmistress looked at him in confusion, since he has never been too friendly with anyone, not even his fellow students being a graduate of Harvard University, she removed her hands.
"Mr Dave, this is..."
"Li Na and Li Jing," Yu Yan completed even though she knew that she was just pretending not to remember their names, then the twins nodded their heads.
"Nice to meet you," he replied
"You will be in charge of them, Mr Dave," the headmistress instructed
They left the office while Yu Yan left the school to her workplace.
He took them to their class and walked them to the front of the class while the students who were originally discussing and grouping themselves turned to look at the newbies, they were surprised to see the supposed rich children dressing in such a casual way even though their clothes were from popular brands, it wasn't obvious.
"This is our new student, please introduce yourself," he said turning to them, Li Na lips curved into a smile to introduce herself.

"I am Lina, please take care of me," she introduced as she always does, turning her name into an english name, but Li Jing didn't bother smiling, he wore a stern face as he introduced himself.
"Hello, I am Li Jing," He introduced, brushing the strands of hair hovering over his face, showing his charming and well-shaped hairline, the girls smiled immediately he brushed his hair away from his face and his stern look made him look even more handsome.
Everyone in their family has always thought that Li Jing resembled Yu Yan when it comes to his looks.
"Such a brief introduction," Mr Dave remarked seeing how concise their introduction is, he was surprised since other rich kids would mention their family companies and achievement and their mode of dressing on their first day of school will surely be extravagant will branded bags while the twins only carried two identical simple looking back bags.
"They both seem really snobbish," a girl whispered to the girl seating beside her, the other girl pushed her hair behind her hair and smirked.
"I bet they wouldn't be able to last long," the other girl whispered but a little louder.
"That would be such a pity since he is really handsome,"
"You can take your seat now... let's see, Min Young, would you like to seat with Li Jing," he asked looking at the Korean girl sitting at the back of the class, they all turned to look at he to hear her response but the looks the girls were giving her seems threatening. she blinked, not knowing what to say.
"I...I..."
"I will take my seat next to her then," Li Jing said even before the girl could answer, he understood that they are threatening her and she seems to be different from the rest of them, even her style of dressing seemed really simple.
"uh..." the girl uttered in a panic then she turned to look at the girls that are glaring at her, she immediately lowered her head, while the girls bit her lips in anger except for a female student sitting with her legs crossed and her elbow resting on the table.
She was wearing an off white puffed long-sleeved shoulder dress, reaching up to her knee and a long white socks.
He made his way to the girl's seat, behind the class while Li Na scanned around the class for someone she would like to seat with.
"As for you Lina, hmmmn..." his eyes caught the aloof prince of the school, he and two other guys in the class from very prominent families are regarded as the princes of the school.
"You can seat with Han Li,"
As soon as he gave his instruction, everyone in the class glanced at Han Li who had his head on the table sleeping, they were surprised that the teacher actually gave him a seatmate when they have all been vying for that position, Li Na could see that the guy seems to be some big shot in the school but she couldn't care less, she hasn't even seen his face yet.
She walked over to the seat and sat down beside the guy but she wondered why the teacher wasn't complaining even though he is sleeping in the class as it is still morning.
"Since that is settled then I will leave you all to it," he said and was about to leave the class when he stopped.
"Min Young, since you are the class captain, I will trust you to take the new students around the school and tell them all that they need to know," he added while she responded with a nod then he left the class.
"I think they are twins,"
"Of course, can't you see how much alike they look,"
"But I have never seen them at the gatherings and balls held by the conglomerate families, have you?" a girl asked another.
"No, I don't think they are as wealthy as the rest of us, they might be scholarship students,"
"I don't think so, they might be dressed in a simple way but the guy's attitude says otherwise,"
"Don't you think he is really handsome though?"
"So annoying," Li Jing remarked in a low voice, Min Young who was still nervous sitting beside him didn't know what to do or how to start a conversation with him but hearing his remark, she thought he was referring to her.
"I am really sorry if I did anything to annoy you," she said turning to him with a bow, he was taken aback by her sudden apology when he hasn't even said anything to her, the whole class turned to look at her with scorn on their faces, then they all began laughing.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
