"I am going to sit here and look away." Wu said, pulling out the seat from the desk, "...You seemed totally different after Charlie mentioned something at the table."
"I don't need you to counsel me!" Ita said, turning her head stubbornly, "Hmph! I said I am fine!"
"...Then consider me being curious and annoying here." Wu sighed, "You were a rather fiery one before, why did you change then?"
"The Boarded. Do you not know?" Ita asked, a prideful expression briefly occupying her face as her voice became slightly louder, being the sole holder of such information, "They are the top fifty ranked Wave users within the academy, each of them at the combat power level of the Generals. I...cannot afford to tick them off...not now, not when I am still as weak as I am."
The generals? Wu looked right into a stain on the wall as his mind traveled back to the training months back in Varous with the Twin Generals, Joseph and Jolyne Atlas.
