Arthur Treadway (looks at Tristan): Aren't we going to the ceremony?

A few hours later...
Academy's Courtyard...
- Tristan Ashura (heading towards the ceremonial hall): Arthur, w-why didn't you wear your uniform?
- Arthur Treadway (hands in pockets, going to the ceremony): I haven't received it yet...
- Tristan Ashura (sees some seniors approaching, tries to dodge them, but is blocked)
- Senior 1 (laughing, stops in front of the two): Look what we have here...
- Senior 2 (next to 1, runs his hand over Arthur's head): Fresh meat. A skinny kid, and a rude one with his hands in his pockets...
- Senior 3 (looks at Arthur): Your face is familiar. Where did I see you, kid...?
- Arthur Treadway (analyzing the four) "The leader must be the quiet one, let's see what happens..."
- Senior 4 (smiles, gets closer to Arthur): Champion, I thought you were taller. (tries to put his hand on Arthur's shoulder)
- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at them, sees Arthur from afar, smiles) "Is that Arthur? Why didn't he tell me he'd come this year, who he's talking to...?" (sees the senior trying to touch Arthur) "Arthur will end his race..."(runs towards Arthur)
- Student (sees Hera running, indignant): Mrs. President, where are you going?
- Arthur Treadway (dodges, stares into the senior's eyes): Stay away from me...
- Senior 4 (with veins on his face, gets closer to Arthur): What did you say?
- Princess Hera Olympus (behind Arthur, puts her hands on her hips): Jin, stop it!
- Senior 1 (sees Hera, crouches): Mrs. President, I was just getting to know my new friend...
- Arthur Treadway (looks at Jin, with a raised eyebrow): I'm not your friend...
- Princess Hera Olympus (passes her hand on her face, shakes her head) "Arthur being Arthur...": Take your friends to the ceremony.
- Jin Olympus (with clenched fists, fakes a smile): All right President! (looks at Arthur, then goes to the hall): See you next champion...
- Tristan Ashura (looks at Hera, embarrassed, scratches his head) "Wow, when I heard how beautiful she is, I thought it was an exaggeration": Thank you, President...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Hera, then goes towards the hall): Bye Tristan...
- Tristan Ashura (crouches, then runs to keep up with Arthur): Goodbye President...
- Princess Hera Olympus (arms crossed) "No hug? Not even a hello?"
- Student (looking at Arthur, blushes): The supreme champion is hot, isn't he President...?
- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at the student): Really, Eleanor?
In the hall of ceremonies...
In the middle chairs...
- Tristan Ashura (looks at Arthur): Why did you want to sit here?
- Arthur Treadway (without facial expression): In order to blend with the environment, I don't want attention...
Onstage...
- Principal Odyssey (goes to the pulpit): Good morning, dear students!
- Everyone but Arthur (stand up, and clap their hands)
- Principal Odyssey (speaking): Sit down! I'm Odyssey, the Headmistress, and I want your attention. The ceremony will begin. Today we will talk about this year that begins, introduce you to the teachers for the year, introduce you to the administrative council, the teachers' council, the students' council, the departments, among others...
- Tristan Ashura (paying attention to the principal)
- Arthur Treadway (with his hand on his cheek, sighs)
Minutes later...
Onstage...
- Principal Odyssey (smiling): I want to introduce you now to an excellent, beautiful and inspiring student, representative of the students. Elected by the students to the position of President of the Student Council, Hera Olympus... (walks away from the pulpit, claps her hands)
- Everyone (stand up, clapping)
- Princess Hera Olympus (approaches the pulpit, smiling): Thank you, it's a huge honor to represent you for another year, I prepared a speech, but I lost it... (laughs)
On the seats...
- Student 1 (with a red face): I've never seen someone with such beauty...
- Student 2 (concentrated): Don't disrespect our representative! "But she's truly different"
- Arthur Treadway (notes that everyone is paying attention now that Hera is talking, laughs) "Always grabbing attention" (looking at Hera)
- Tristan Ashura (sees Arthur staring at her) "Poor President": She's very pretty, isn't she?
- Arthur Treadway (with his arms crossed): She's normal...
At first, I thought he was a spoiled prince, a weakling that I needed to protect, but over time, over time...

- Arthur Treadway (goes towards the teacher's body, and takes him to the infirmary)
He's not the Arthur of today, but it was the beginning of what we see today. It's not the monster of today, but that's when I started to realize that he didn't need my protection, I needed his...
