AT THE ARENA
Three people moved into the arena — two men and a woman — their eyes surveying the crowd.
"There she is," one of the guys said.
"Did I say I didn't know?" The woman rolled her eyes, making the guy feel a bit ashamed.
"Can you not bully Williams all the time, Ivy?" the other man said helplessly.
These three were Ivy, Darvis, and Williams, returning from a mission issued by the academy.
"Hmph," Ivy snorted, walking towards Alya's direction. Darvis was helpless but couldn't do anything other than follow her.
Alya also noticed them. "How was it?" she asked when Ivy sat beside her.
"We found them but lost them," Ivy said in annoyance.
"What do you mean?" Alya raised her eyebrows, but Ivy snorted, not bothering to reply. Alya looked at her speechlessly before turning to ask Darvis and Williams, who had just arrived as well.
