Lukas followed the mysterious purple-haired boy to the cafeteria, curious to learn more. "So what's your name? And why'd you call me an idiot back there?" he asked.
The boy smiled. "I'm Ethan. And I only said it because, Ah hard to explain. You can say your quick reaction startled them."
Lukas nodded slowly. And wondered so that's why that happened.
"Fair enough. Thanks for explaining." They grabbed food and sat down. "So why'd you want me on your team? I'm just a swordsman though."
Lukas spoke.
Ethan took a bite. "I saw your exam scores. You've got real power and skill. Plus I think we could work well together - I'm better at strategy. Well, as a second-year, they should have already reached the third or fourth circle, meaning they should have their aura zones now. To everyone, a swordsman without enchantments might sound useless."
