"Nice to meet you two, my name is Laura Bernard"
"Hello, Ms. Bernard, I'm Alexia Mariford, you can just call me Alexia"
"Thank you, Alexia", Laura returned a smile to her.
Laura soon joins the three during lunch right after the incident, the classmate that Shin beat up is escorted to the infirmary and receives a warning as he is the perpetrator in the first place, while Shin acts in self-defense.
"So, what can I do for you Laura?", Shin gets to the point of the meeting.
"Nothing much, I simply want to greet a friend of Ms. Steelford whom I am acquainted with"
"You know her Clara?"
"Yes, our household would often meet at many parties in the past, as the next representative we often see each other"
Shin began eating his food as he listened to Clara's explanation.
"I believe the last one that we saw each other was last year's New Year party?"
"Yes, that should be it"
(Oh, that party where Clara was wearing that dress!), Shin instantly remembered that day clearly as it was the day that Clara gave him a kiss and a dance, which included a lot of touching in many places, both inside and outside of her dress that earned him multiple slaps.
(Hehehe)
"Is everything alright?" asked Laura noticing Shin's chuckle while eating his food.
"It's alright, he does that sometimes when he remembers something", Clara explained having guessed what he was thinking.
"I see, I'm glad I brought up a good memory"
"It is"
"Shin"
"Yes?"
"Your food is getting cold"
"I can say the same to...", he then noticed that Clara was eating a cold type of food and became silent.
The four chatted together for a while after that before returning to their class.

"So, how was it?"
"He is unexpectedly casual for someone with the highest rank in our year" replied Laura, sitting at a cafe with a dim yellow glow.
"Well, he is not from a well-renowned household after all"
"But he is undoubtedly powerful"
She remembered the face of the person that Shin has beaten up belonging to another household well known for their strong fighter, seeing the student beaten up despite the training he had shows just how strong Shin is.
"Yes, we are already aware and have a plan to deal with that"
"So when will it begin?"
"Somewhere this month I believe, probably near the end of the month"
"He already declines the invitation?"
"Yes, sadly, all of them were rejected in a...rude manner"
Hearing this, Laura could already imagine how he did it.
"If there's anyway I can help, feel free to contact me"
"Don't worry, we will not forget Ms.Bernard in this plan"
The two resume their drink before leaving the establishment separately while keeping small talks.

Dropping the barbell with heavy weights towards the ground, Shin wipes the sweat off his face and arms, the people in the gym finally get back to their exercise after watching him bench the heaviest loads they have ever seen, and do a squat for 100 reps with it.
(I miss that boulder already)
He then headed to another section to continue his exercise, the treadmill.
(I miss those monsters that randomly appeared)
Then the swimming pool.
(Why isn't it deeper than this?)
Finishing his shower, he jumped onto his bed and lay there feeling a bit of exhaustion.
(This sucks) he thought despite the bed comfort and the room's design that he requested ahead of time.
"..."
After a few moments, Shin pulled up the screen.

"Hm?"
Opening the door, Shin found his lover outside.
"Oh, hey, Clara"
"Did you just shower?"
"Yeah, sorry, I couldn't wait for you to join in"
"...No, that's fine", she then entered the room following Shin.
"So, what can I do?"
"...Listen, Shin, you need to be careful of Laura Bernard"
"Okay...Why?", all Shin ever thought about that girl was how he could bring her into his arms, then each part of his body, and maybe how to make her fall for him completely.
"Her household is powerful and influential"
"Just like you and your family"
"No, their influence extends as far as the Magic Tower"
"Oh, damn"
