The next morning, on the academy grounds. Inside the transfer station, the teleporter whirled as two students appeared on the platform.
One wore freshly bought clothes with the price tags still attached, while the other stared off into the distance.
The first was Lake, who, despite wearing brand-new clothes, seemingly reeked of blood. Beside him stood Kate, her face plagued with a worn-out look.
The two silently made their way out of the transfer station and returned to their dorms without speaking a word to each other.
They were both exhausted after the night's activities and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit their pillows.

"Urgh..." Lake groaned as he got up.
His body ached despite having healed all his wounds. Sighing, he checked the time and discovered it was already four in the evening.
He had already missed all his classes for the day, so there was no point in getting out of bed.
