One week had passed since Lucan's teaching career began. Despite some initial challenges—like the jealousy and resentment from a few students and the constant speculation about his relationship with Maris—Lucan found his new role to be unexpectedly smooth. The hurdles were nothing he couldn't handle, and in fact, he had even managed to gain a small but loyal following among the students. His popularity was especially strong among those he had once saved during his Mordecai's incident, and these students now eagerly attended his classes, looking up to him with admiration.

Every day during lunch break, Maris would come to Lucan's classroom. Without fail, she carried a neatly wrapped bundle containing homemade bento boxes, specially prepared for them to eat together. Maris, with her extensive knowledge of theology, wasn't attending Lucan's classes, so this was her way of spending time with him during the busy day.
