[b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Entrance Gate[/u][/i][/b] [i]Once they were reunited, the gates began to open slowly. Auror and Veronica looked up and saw a car coming. They instantly knew who it was and already shown they weren't content with it.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/I31LhXC.png[/img] Auror: *sigh* Here comes trouble... [img]https://i.imgur.com/dBTj77y.png[/img] Lucent: That car... [img]https://i.imgur.com/TgBjAZ6.png[/img] Veronica: Yes... the Queen is arriving... [b][i]BGM: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFnhclbCA1w]Poster Girl's Prank[/url][/i][/b] [i]An exaggerated limousine came down the streets. It was bigger than the Intermezzo one. Once it stopped, a butler opened a door and a frivolous girl came out. She was known to be that kind of rich student who looked down on everyone.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/akcu4ai.png[/img] [b][i]Cinderella of Material Ideologies Melanie C. Maestra[/i][/b] [i]As if she was a model, she walked elegantly, but giving condescending eyes to all. Melanie went towards Auror, Veronica and the rest of the group.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/dicZdyE.png[/img] Melanie: So you two are still walking with plebians, even though you are nobles? I'm always surprised how you'd put your feet down like this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Y5ICfWw.png[/img] Veronica: ... Good morning to you too, Melanie. [img]https://i.imgur.com/soWXcPx.png[/img] Melanie: Auror, where's my good morning? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Gn9v7w7.png[/img] Auror: Oh, you said something? I was listening to the winds. They sound nicer than your voice. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yo8pumC.png[/img] Melanie: Hmph! Rude idiot. [i]Melanie threw her hair and turned to go to the gates. When she looked at it, her gaze met with Xaizor and Marina, whom she never saw before.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/soWXcPx.png[/img] Melanie: Hmm? I haven't seen you before. I do ignore the lower class, but you do seem new to me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pk36hhn.png[/img] Masaru: They... actually are, Melanie. Marina is a first-year like you and Xaizor is a third-year. [i]She pushed Masaru away as she stared directly into Xaizor's eyes. He got extremely uncomfortable as she began to speak.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/akcu4ai.png[/img] Melanie: Hmm... Xaizor, is it? You are... cute. I'd give you a 7/10. [img]https://i.imgur.com/bAXkV2Z.png[/img] Xaizor: W-What?! C-C-Cute?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/dE1kX5W.png[/img] Melanie: Ohoho! Getting flustered now? My, my. I'll raise it to an 8/10. Congratulations. [i]After a little laugh, she turned to look at Marina.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/yo8pumC.png[/img] Melanie: But you girl... [img]https://i.imgur.com/MZy8PIf.png[/img] Marina: Y-Yes? How can I help- [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hy35pkK.png[/img] Melanie: Help? I don't need your help. Also, what is this dress? Have you come from a farm alongside those other brutes, except the Intermezzo? And your makeup? Gods, not even a miracle can save you! [img]https://i.imgur.com/EI9g1oH.png[/img] Veronica: Melanie, stop it! Leave Marina alone! [img]https://i.imgur.com/soWXcPx.png[/img] Melanie: Veronica, I am just stating the truth. You're so dominated by those lowlifes that you can't even- [img]https://i.imgur.com/kHFM33k.png[/img] Marina: And who are you to judge me? [i]The students all stopped chatting and looked at Marina. No one talked back to Melanie, more to not give her a rebuttal or to hear even more condescending words from her.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/dicZdyE.png[/img] Melanie: What have you just said, girl? [img]https://i.imgur.com/J9MDBGz.png[/img] Marina: Honestly, I have met my share of ignorant nobles, but at least they had some decency and held their tongues whenever we were speaking. [img]https://i.imgur.com/yo8pumC.png[/img] Melanie: Do you know with who are you talking to? [img]https://i.imgur.com/z1QU4RS.png[/img] Marina: I am. With a fellow student who does not look herself at a mirror before judging the rest. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Hy35pkK.png[/img] Melanie: I'm not just any fellow student! I'm a noble! A plebian like you should offer more respect towards me! [img]https://i.imgur.com/J8ynZYr.png[/img] Marina: Respect is earned, not offered. If you have no intentions of having respect towards me or my friends, do not expect me to give you what you dearly wish. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw8IRjF.png[/img] Melanie: ... If I were you, I'd stop right now. I can ruin your life if I merely wish to! [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img] Marina: Your baseless intimidations are not going to drive me to fear. I will not stand quiet as you freely speaks your spite. [i]Angry at how Marina argued back, Melanie took a white glove out of her dress' pocket and threw it at Marina's face. It was a challenge signal, in the way of nobility.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/yo8pumC.png[/img] Melanie: At the end of the classes. In the exit. I will throw you in the ground you deserve. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4n6qtfT.png[/img] Veronica: W-Wait, there's no need for this- [img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img] Marina: ... Very well. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img] Auror: You should have said no, idiot! [img]https://i.imgur.com/CPEL3xP.png[/img] Masaru: I really don't like this... Marina, you should back off. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img] Xaizor: Marina, you're the one who said we shouldn't cause problems. You're not being a good example! [img]https://i.imgur.com/MZy8PIf.png[/img] Marina: I know what I have said. However, I am not doing this for my honor. I am doing this because she insulted you all. [img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img] Kaito: Marina... [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxiyQ0o.png[/img] Marina: Besides, this was not just a simple warning. When white gloves are thrown, it is a declaration of a duel. If I refuse it, it means submission to her insults and my cowardice. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img] Auror: ... It also means no one should get in their way. If, for example, Veronica were to enter in the middle of it, it'd be automatically Marina's loss. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SKiI0AK.png[/img] Veronica: No... Marina... [img]https://i.imgur.com/6w6BHBb.png[/img] Marina: It is all right. I also have a specific request. [i]Marina looked directly at Rayla, who had warned her earlier about causing troubles. She had no intention of disobeying her advice, but she was in no condition nor will to refuse this.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img] Marina: Miss Rayla, I know you are against this. You can scold me in a later time, but could you please leave this to me?
