[b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Third Year Classroom B[/u][/i][/b] [i]While the pause between periods happened, both Xaizor and Masaru could notice that Kaito was too silent, something completely different from his usual self. They went towards him, to see if everything was OK.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/tEUc519.png[/img] Masaru: Hey Kaito, is everything alright? You're really quiet today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/52UX4We.png[/img] Xaizor: Usually, you'd be talking a lot. Kinda weird to see you acting like some sort of loner. [img]https://i.imgur.com/aLnX6XQ.png[/img] Kaito: I'm... just worried. [img]https://i.imgur.com/pk36hhn.png[/img] Masaru: About the explosion? Kaito: Yeah. Lucent was involved in it, so I can't help it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/CPEL3xP.png[/img] Masaru: Wait, was Lucent caught in the explosion?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/QeNuVlu.png[/img] Kaito: He was fighting someone in the air. He was injured, so he couldn't come today. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img] Xaizor: Fighting?! I'd imagine anyone fighting but Lucent, of all people... [img]https://i.imgur.com/eA0a4Jh.png[/img] Masaru: N-Never mind that! And the injury? Was it too serious? [img]https://i.imgur.com/Bml5VJQ.png[/img] Kaito: I don't know and that's the part that bothers me. He's woken up but you know me. I've been sticking to that guy like glue, ever since we were younger. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vxGmWxI.png[/img] Xaizor: That's true. Sounds like an unhealthy obsession sometimes, but I can feel some sort of brotherly love between you two. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QkTZpGM.png[/img] Masaru: The Guild took him to rest? [img]https://i.imgur.com/a532uBK.png[/img] Kaito: No, it was a shrine maiden. Her name was... Reimu. She and her partner took Lucent to their shrine. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jv6RDoR.png[/img] Xaizor: Oh, it's where I live! We can go there later if you guys want! [img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img] Xaizor: This whole partner thing is completely new for me, though. It was only me, her and Marina at the house so I don't have a clue about who this "partner" is. [img]https://i.imgur.com/txOEg2x.png[/img] Masaru: Alright then, I'm going with you two to the shrine after school. We'll go there immediately. Kaito: Masaru? [img]https://i.imgur.com/f6Etk7j.png[/img] Xaizor: Why are you desperate? That's rather normal for someone like Kaito. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3iIzZff.png[/img] Kaito: Hey, what do you mean with that?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ot8Q0XG.png[/img] Masaru: It doesn't matter. I'll go with you and that's final. Now I have to go to the faculty office for a while. [i]Masaru quickly left the classroom, seemingly in a hurry. Xaizor and Kaito began to wonder if he had a specific reason to go after Lucent.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/WZcK3d6.png[/img] Xaizor: Huh... sounds like someone's hiding some sort of secrets. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tqfHLBg.png[/img] Kaito: You think that Masaru's after Lucent for some reason? [img]https://i.imgur.com/GMj6WOT.png[/img] Xaizor: Who knows. That was just a wild guess. [img]https://i.imgur.com/uyGwOf0.png[/img] Kaito: Anyway, we better keep an eye on him. I'm not that confident in him anymore. Xaizor: If you say so. Well, guess another period's starting soon. [b][i][u]Location: Fleeting Memories School - Second Year Classroom C[/u][/i][/b] [i]The classroom's door opened as Mia went in. She went towards Auror.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zvjKnFL.png[/img] Mia: Auror, where's Rayla? [img]https://i.imgur.com/RclEVRN.png[/img] Auror: Good question. I don't know that either. [img]https://i.imgur.com/h5ZefdM.png[/img] Mia: Then I suppose you can explain this for me. [i]Mia grabbed her cellphone and showed a video to Auror. It was the battle between Lucent and Doremy, exactly in the part where Lucent was taken away and Reimu fought Doremy with the others.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img] Auror: Oh, it's a battle. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EMl2V8O.png[/img] Mia: Don't speak so nonchalant about this! I need to know what happened there! [img]https://i.imgur.com/mbOBZ0E.png[/img] Auror: OK, first of all, where did you get that? [img]https://i.imgur.com/zvjKnFL.png[/img] Mia: One fellow soldier of the Order was around and filmed it for me. He was unnequipped at the time, hence the reason he did not jump in. [img]https://i.imgur.com/k6jSyUu.png[/img] Auror: Well then, second question. Knowing there's a member of the Guild there, why don't you ask him? [img]https://i.imgur.com/901Fzf5.png[/img] Mia: That's because I can't just abuse my position and abandon school to investigate like this! And since Rayla was there, she should be able to give me a rundown of the situation. [img]https://i.imgur.com/k6jSyUu.png[/img] Auror: Alright. Third and final question. Why do you need to know? [img]https://i.imgur.com/gxY7PLX.png[/img] Mia: I'm a member of the Holy Order. To protect and defend those who cannot defend themselves is my responsibility to the people. [img]https://i.imgur.com/I31LhXC.png[/img] Auror: *sigh* Look, even if you ask her, I doubt Rayla would just spring in details like this. You two are good friends, but she won't just give things away like this, especially involving a friend. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kw5zURb.png[/img] Auror: Not to mention the slight fickle she still has with the organizations. Even if the Guild or the Holy Order didn't do a specific thing to her, she'd rather not involve you because of bureaucracy. [img]https://i.imgur.com/901Fzf5.png[/img] Mia: W-Well, I can't argue with that. Even so, I- [img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img] Auror: Mia, stop poking your nose in this. It's for your own good. [img]https://i.imgur.com/a2TCMdP.png[/img] Mia: ... Alright, I will back off. I don't wish to become Rayla's enemy all of a sudden. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ciEjqb3.png[/img] Auror: Hey, she's not going to be inimical with you just because of this- [img]https://i.imgur.com/zXLpfG5.png[/img] Mia: However, this doesn't mean I'll just give up. If she does not wish to tell me, I will simply ask to the victim himself. [img]https://i.imgur.com/QZND1Zn.png[/img] Auror: ... Really? [img]https://i.imgur.com/zvjKnFL.png[/img] Mia: Yes. Well, I'll be going back to my classroom. I will see you some other time. [i]Mia bowed to Auror and left the classroom. He sighed once again, knowing how Mia is. She's one of the last people he wasnted near Lucent and that's because of his whole past.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/zZURtMk.png[/img] Auror: (Guess you're going to have your chat with Rayla at the end of the day, Mia. I better warn her of this.) [i]To not call her again, Auror sent a text message to Rayla, warning her that Mia knows that Lucent was involved and she was going to question him sooner or later. Since she had a better way with words around authorities, he felt like she could be the only person that could stop Mia in this situation.[/i]
