"Hm?"
When Rigel turned his gaze that way, a girl student was there.
The figure advancing her steps slowly was as imposing as a knight.
Probably a senior. A third-year at that.
Her features were beautifully arranged, yet they gave a somehow cold impression.
What drifted at her eyes was intelligence with emotion cut off, and cruelty.
While glaring at Rigel she continued.
"You're the first-year Rigel, aren't you?"
"How about giving your own name before asking someone else's?"
Rigel answered provocatively even while using polite speech.
Irony and flippancy mixed in that voice, but a moment of wariness dwelled in the depths of his eyes.
Then he noticed.
Beside him, Char had gone pale.
"R-Rigel-san… That person is—"
"I am Aria. A third-year serving as Discipline Committee chair."
The girl, Aria, named herself imposingly.
Confidence overflowed from that attitude.
It was a firm stance that only someone who did not doubt her own justice could have.
