The sound of the wind whistling can be heard around the atmosphere as it graces Rosemary Academy in its cold presence.
Rin Grayson was still seen succumbing to his visions, a lost memory of the past slowly rising forth as he clutches his head in pain, trying to figure out the blurry scene being played right inside his mind.
"Rina are you alright?"
Kana Erendal, the heiress who is still accompanying the blue-haired boy, could not help but look at her classmate with utmost worry as she slowly taps the boy's shoulders.
"Y-yeah I'm fine Kana." Rin replied as he snaps out of his momentary lapse of the mind and gave the heiress an assuring smile. "No need to worry about me, just the recent hangover of being confined for a damn week at the hospital, that's all."
Kana frowned a bit as she could tell that the boy was not exactly telling the truth as evident by his hesitant tone but has chosen not to push the issue any further and this time, assumed a smile of her own. "Alright Rina if you say so."
Rin nodded as he mentally sighed in relief, thinking that he was able to convince the brown-haired girl of his situation.
"Hmm..." Kana stroked her chin. "We should probably get back to class. Our next period is math and you have a lot of catching up to do Rina."
"M-math!?" Rin paled at the mention of his least favorite subject.
"Of course silly!!" Kana giggled at Rin acting funny. "You have been gone for a week and we are now tackling about the intricacies of Advance Algebra as we make our way to Basic Trigonometry."
Rin could only look at Kana, his eyes turning lifeless as the world has truly abandoned him to his dire fate. "Yeah, I take back the first reason for my headache. Of course it's math's fault!! Freaking x turning into numbers… One moment I see x in the blackboard and when I glanced on my side and look back, its all gibberish nonsense of numerical shit being written!!"
"You know..." Kana smiled playfully. "x is not the only one being converted into a number. There's also y and z too as we enter Advance Algebra for the next period!!"
Rin's world at that moment crumbled into dust, his mouth agape at the horror of more alphabets being introduced in the subject matter. The boy could only hope his years as an Agent of the Brotherhood will help him in his greatest challenge yet!!
Well aside from Shopping that is…

Inside a classroom, a female figure was seen as she was seething in rage, throwing a punch on a nearby wall out of sheer frustration.
"So she's back huh." A certain black haired girl gritted her teeth in anger, her face despite pretty is currently clouded by an expression of ugly hate.
"Y-yes mistress." A brown-haired student trembled nervously as she told the news. "Rina Mayfield is back as we have witnessed her inside of class 1-D celebrating together with her classmates. That and the P.A. system also announced her presence in the entire school."
To her credit, the black-haired girl took a deep breath to calm her nerves down, but the anger on her face nevertheless remains for all to see. "I see. So she has finally returned. Now I can exact revenge towards her for all the humiliation and shame that she has brought upon me. I'll make sure that she will get what she deserves."
"Uhm… mistress, if I may speak?" The brown-haired girl stuttered.
"What?" The said mistress spoke with a loud menacing voice, allowing the girl to speak despite how harsh she addresses to her.
The girl shrinks down in fear but nonetheless spoke up. "I, I'm not sure if it's wise to f-fight her now mistress. A-after all, y-you have been just recently lifted up from your punishment as the headmaster seemed to be lenient towards us on the matter despite hurting his daughter and I'm not sure if you can afford another penalty given that you are still in some sort of under probation."
"Are you suggesting that I should back down from her Velvet!?" The Mistress shouted in displeasure at the suggestion.
"Of, of course not Mistress!!" The girl, Velvet waved her hands frantically. "It's just that, we should not be in a hurry to do so Mistress!! Ms. Mayfield has already built a solid reputation as we speak and we should take our time and you know, plan this out meticulously if we want to a higher chance of success in bringing down Ms. Mayfield."
Velvet braced herself in terror, thinking that her mistress would once more berate her for mumbling again as she closed his eyes, expecting a slap or perhaps painful insults.
But instead what she received is… praise?
"Hmm, you make a fine point Velvet." The black-haired girl nodded in agreement much to Velvet's utter looks of extreme surprise. "I suppose I can wait and find the perfect moment to strike where she is the most vulnerable. Oh the humiliation, the suffering that the insufferable Mayfield has ever done to me. I still could not believe that someone, a pathetic commoner of no rank dared to defy my very being!!"
The girl stood up, her face expressing a villainous smirk for all to see.
"Oh Rina Mayfield, I'll make sure that the rest of your stay here at the Academy will be filled with hell and I'll be there to witness your face of despair and sorrow as you beg under your very knees and succumb to my mercy!!"
"And besides Velvet." The girl grinned, mad-driven as she turned her head to the window, showing Rina Mayfield herself right outside of the Academic building walking together with Kana Erendal. "There's no need for me to be involved directly in her downfall. As the puppet master who will orchestrate her demise, I'll utilize my every connection to bring her down like the commoner and worm she is!!"
The girl cackled malevolently, swearing to ensure Rina Mayfield to only experience demise and terror at her feet.
Erica Von'laden will definitely make sure of that, even if it is the last thing she does.
