News of Prince Garen's and Alex's duel quickly spread in the academy like wildfire.
Both students agreed to hold the duel after classes ended the next day, which made them the hot topic of the First Years, as well as the upper years who were also paying attention to the exchange students.
"Vaan, you do realize this is all because of you, right?" Alex asked in a calm tone.
"Mmm." Vaan hummed in agreement.
"Why aren't you repenting?" Alex sighed as he looked at the pretty boy seated beside him, even resting his head on Alex's shoulder. "Wait, are you actually enjoying this?"
"It's a lie to say no," Vaan replied. "You've always been my Knight, Alex. I aspire to become someone like you."
The two were currently seated on a bench in the garden of the academy.
Some of the students, especially the girls, would look in their direction from time to time before giggling and whispering in each other's ears.
