Akin To Calvin
“Why isn’t he coming back? Did his parents refuse him?”
Sasha was not aware of Kurt’s identity. Thus, in her mind, she automatically assumed that his terrible
family had barred him from returning.
Sebastian shook his head.
After a slight pause, he said briefly, “He’s gone to study at another place. The Royal Academy isn’t
suitable for him.”
Sasha was totally baffled.
What? Not suitable for him? But he’s been there for one whole semester. Why is this so sudden?
She heaved a wistful sigh.
Then again, the students at the Royal Academy are carefully selected from all over the country. They are
the future pillars of the nation. What can be said further if he thinks that the academy is not for him?
Sasha had no choice but to convey the message to Vivian.
“Vivi, well… Daddy mentioned that Kurt has transferred to another school. The Royal Academy isn’t
meant for him.”
“Why is that so?”
Her big, round eyes misted over as soon as she heard the news, causing Sasha’s heart to ache terribly.
She patted her daughter’s head and explained, “He’s a talent that Daddy is developing to make great
contributions to the country in the future. So, he can’t really learn much from your academy. Therefore,
Daddy has arranged something better for him elsewhere.”
Vivian asked in a quavering voice, “Is he at Ian’s training base?”
Sasha nodded lightly. “That might be the case. Anyhow, chin up and dry your tears. I’ll lookout for any
other pals for you, okay?”
Vivian did not respond. She just sat there, letting the tears streak her face profusely.
She felt so miserable, as though a part of her went missing.
Kurt…
Another week passed, and Vivian still did not see the boy she was hoping to meet.
When it was about time for her to board the plane, she requested, “Mommy, if you get to see him, could
you ask him to call me, please? I… I want to apologize to him.”
As Sasha agreed, Vivian placed a small item into her mother’s palm.
Ten minutes later, when Sasha saw the flight had taken off, she opened her palm, only to realize that
Vivian had handed her an exquisite necklace.
It was made of blue turquoise with diamonds crafted in the form of a pair of wings on the side. At one
glance, it looked just like a mighty eagle spreading its gorgeous wings, ready to fly.
Aww… It breaks my heart to see how thoughtful this girl is.
Although she was very sad about Kurt’s departure, she pulled herself together and handcrafted such a
beautiful necklace for him.
Her desire is for Kurt to unleash his talents and soar high like an eagle, right?
Sasha brought the necklace home and showed it to Sebastian that night.
“This is Vivi’s present for Kurt. You know which school he’s in, don’t you? Please pass it to him, will you?”
Sasha felt terrible that they had to part ways in this manner. After all, she really liked Kurt.
Sebastian scrutinized the necklace. Besides the expensive materials used, one could tell how much
effort Vivian had put into designing her creation. Her skills were excellent.
The more he looked at it, the more irritated he became.
Hmph! Many around me have enjoyed her gifts, whereas I, her father, haven’t received anything. What
gives?
Anyhow, Sebastian still arranged for someone to send the precious necklace to SteelFort.
When the present arrived, Karl was training Kurt in the thick snow. It was just right after the new year, so
the temperature was still frigid in Avenport. The snow at SteelFort even piled up to several inches high.
“Does it still hurt?” he asked the boy who was standing in front of a wall of rocks.
All colors had drained from Kurt’s face.
Yet, he was resolute in his reply after taking a glance at his master. “Not anymore.”
Karl nodded satisfactorily at his answer.
Then, he tossed a dart out, and a cold glint flashed in the biting cold. The next moment, the boy with a
metal cable wrapped around his waist made a fierce lunge for the wall of rocks.
Like a leopard, he was extremely agile and fast.
He managed to dodge more than a dozen darts and emerged unscathed from the challenge.
For a teenager, his skills were very impressive!
The member of SteelFort who came to deliver the necklace was shocked to witness Kurt’s prowess. “Mr.
Frost, he’s amazing!”
“He’s nearly there if compared to Calvin back then…”
He could not bring himself to continue his speech upon mentioning that name.
The other member knew exactly who he was talking about. Swiftly, he dropped the topic and handed
over the delivery.
“Mr. Hayes has instructed this parcel to be sent from Jadeborough to that young guy.” He pointed at Kurt,
who was training hard at that time.
Hmm? Karl was rather surprised.
When he took a peek and saw that it was a necklace, a smirk settled upon his face subconsciously.
“This must be from Vivi, that little girl.”
“Huh? How do you know, Mr. Frost?”
