It was a rare occurrence for Nero to get so excited, and be unable to resist showing off. To be fair, if he hadn't run into Vanessa at the library, he would have probably started training immediately.
After all, as a student, he did not need to report for the draft notice, even if it was level 3. Footer had even specified that he would be informed well in advance if, or rather when, he was needed. That meant for now, Nero was free to do as he pleased.
That was supposed to be convening with Gabriel and planning ahead, but pushing it ten minutes or so wouldn't really matter.
But even in his excited state, Nero could not act like a normal kid. He immediately noticed that it was very unusual for Vanessa to be alone in the library, especially when she should be in class. A part of him wondered why she was missing out, as she was not normally the type.
