[b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop[/u][/i][/b]

[i]Time has passed and lunchtime arrived at last. They reunited at the rooftop once again. It was like their usual point. While eating, Veronica rose a question.[/i]

Veronica: I don't want to be repetitive, but can't you please back off from this?

Marina: I am sorry, Veronica, but that I cannot do. I know you are worried but I will be fine.

Masaru: I don't know... I heard Melanie is strong herself. Makes it out why she's called the Queen-

Auror: She's called as Queen because of connections. Seems like she has ties with someone from the government. People say she's niece of the mayor and she uses her status to gain those extra points.

Masaru: Really? So that's why then...

Xaizor: I know she's going down for sure. Marina's dethroning her for good.

Marina: X-Xaizor, do not speak of me as if I was you!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img]
Xaizor: If it was me, I'd put her down at that instant.

Marina: Hmph. As the savage tribesman you are, I can imagine.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/nHoaF56.png[/img]
Kaito: I'll be cheering for you, Marina! I know you can do it!
[img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img]
Auror: Literally the entire school is rooting for her. Wherever you go, it's always gossip and speculation.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/MZy8PIf.png[/img]
Marina: I can see that she is a pretty bad person if people are rooting for me that much.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Gn9v7w7.png[/img]
Auror: Trust me, once you take her down, the school will go nuts. Melanie looks down on everyone, even on me, Veronica and Ted. She thinks of herself as the top tier of the school.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/pk36hhn.png[/img]
Masaru: And yet she's not even close to be liked. Everyone intensely disliskes her.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Bml5VJQ.png[/img]
Kaito: Talk about intense. Some people are even betting for this...

[i]While they were chatting, Lucent's silence bothered Xaizor a little.[/i]

[img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img]
Xaizor: Hey Lucent, say something.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/9W2NWsK.png[/img]
Lucent: ... Something...?
[img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img]
Xaizor: You don't have to be that blunt, stupid. Just jump in the conversation.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img]
Lucent: I... don't have anything to say, actually.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vFPxk7S.png[/img]
Marina: Xaizor, please stop making him uncomfortable about it.
Lucent: Wait... I have a question.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/7BCyHE8.png[/img]
Kaito: Oh? You're going to start a conversation then! Good guy! *pats Lucent on the head*
[img]https://i.imgur.com/eA0a4Jh.png[/img]
Masaru: Kaito, he's not a dog. Stop that.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DzNjiXy.png[/img]
Kaito: What? Jealous because you can't?
Masaru: S-Shut it. Now apologize to Lucent.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/qsihRDH.png[/img]
Lucent: It's... fine. More importantly...

[i]Lucent looked at Rayla but then turned his face away while speaking. Looking at her seemed dangerous and it could give the wrong impression.[/i]

Lucent: Um... what were you... talking about in the morning?
