"Here's your other study materials"
"Thank you"
"And here's a letter from the principal"
"? ...Thank you", Laura accepted it and hesitantly put it away.
Having done the delivery for more than three times already this week, Laura and the student became used to the routine in their life, her parents and the security guard also became used to the student's presence as well.
"Well, have a good weekend"
"Weekend?"
"It's Saturday tomorrow"
"Oh, right..."
"Does the Academy have weekend classes?" asked the student hesitantly as if discovering something that everybody knows.
"Oh, no they don't....I think"
"....."
"I'm sure they don't have that"
"I see....Well, I'll see you next week then"
"Alright, see you next week..." she was about to say something again but...
(What's his name again?) after talking with the hooded figure for almost a week now, Laura is sure that the hooded figure is a guy. Probably.
"???"
"Oh, right, I don't think I told you my name yet, it's..."
"Justice for lower class!!!"
Someone shouted.
And a bottle is thrown towards her house.
"!!!"
Laura panicked as she can tell that it isn't an ordinary bottle judging by something lit on fire stuck to the top.
But before it can hit her house, it was caught by the hooded figure.
The fire cackle quietly, now caught.
Holding it at arm's length, the hooded figure shoot water from a wand ending the Molotov cocktail before it could peak.
"So...anyway", behind the hooded classmate are a squad of cops catching the criminal and body slamming them to the ground.
"....."
"...."
"Are you okay? Are you shocked?" the figure hold up their hand a bit but Laura has already shaken out of her shock and replied.
"No, it's nothing, just surprised"
"Oh, right, well, this does look intimidating after all. ....So, uh....you're safe now", the figure then extended the arm out and moved left and right awkwardly before patting her shoulder lightly and put it away.
"....I'm not sure what people think of you Ms.Bernard, but...I actually enjoy the time talking with you, even if its short. So I look forward to seeing you again at the Academy"
Laura was surprised, hearing those words from Hood who awkwardly reveal his thought on her.
"Yeah, bye" then turns and heads out to the gate where the evidence is handed back to the cop.
"....", Laura watched as the figure continue walking down the street before disappearing into the crowd.
Closing the door to her house, Laura walked through the empty room now devoid of people, heads up stairs, watch the ongoing chaos as more police began piling up on top of the would-be assailant and into her room.
Jumping onto her bed, which is unlike her, she grabs a pillow and lay her head on top of it.
(That was so cooollll!!!!!) she squealed.
The way the hooded classmate catch the Molotov cocktail was so amazing she was momentarily stunned and speechless.
It was also wasn't dramatic as they took out the fire as well.
(I didn't know he can use magic!)
Then there was the part where he consoles her!
(That pat was so nice and gentle to not worry me, but that awkward hand gestures when he was deciding how to pat me is adorable~!!!)
"Gosh, you're so cool...) she mused her thought out.
Laur would read the letter from Raven afterward congratulating her on returning to the Academy, improving her mood even further.

End of flashback
"Seriously, what is your name?" asked Laura after a trip down memory lane.
"Oh, right, well, it's--"
"Arggghhh!!!"
The two turned to look at the source of the noise in an instant, their senses still sharp even after being away from danger.
A student is watching a horror movie and has forgotten to plug the headphone in properly, look around in embarrassment.
"Sorry, I'm just trying to relax after the whole dungeon mess and stuff"
"By watching horror movie?"
"Yeah"
"...Okay, well enjoy, and don't forget to double check your plug next time"
"Got it"
Turning back to Laura, the hooded figure said.
"So, want to head back now?"
"...Fine...But since I'm quite tired, would you mind escorting me back to my dorm?"
"Okay, would you prefer an arm link or that arrangement when I help you back down the tree?"
Laura's eyes widened in surprise before it turned into joy, a small smile formed on her face as she silently linked her arm with her escort and the two heads off to the dorm.
Days passed since the Dungeon incident with many students having fully recovered, some managed to grow stronger, deepen the bonds between each other and....
"How could you forget about me?!?!?!"
"I-I'm sorry"
"I thought you said you will help me when I'm in trouble, you liar!" shouted Alexia.
In Alpha classroom, the unfortunate girl who was separated from her group, survived on her own and having fended off dozens of monsters every few hours confronted the boy her age who made a promise that he couldn't keep.
"Jerk"
"■■■hole"
Some his classmates grumbled quietly with one another watching the scene.
"....I will make it up to you!" he stood up from his seat facing Alexia.
"!! W-What? Don't think your words gonna convince me!!"
"I won't!!"
"Oh, yeah!! Where's the proof then?!"
"Alexia Mariford, I promise to bring you the most amazing thing in the world to you!" Shin declared loudly, earning doubtful looks from everyone.
"....."
"I promise!" he declared again.
"....."
"....."
"What the ■■■■?" muttered Conner near the classroom door, before closing it at the sight of Shin kneeling down on his knee to Alexia.
(Guess I will invite him later)
