It was 1:17PM , Kazuma and Baroka were walking side by side to the academy, Baroka said "I can't heard the battle arena's for this assassination exam is out already.", Kazuma replied "Well Ralfold did say that the post's would be out by today.". As Kazuma and Baroka walked forward, they saw Rem, Regina and Mio looking at the posts, Kazuma greeted "Yo, Mio. Regina.", Regina and Mio turned and looked at Kazuma and Baroka approaching them "Ah, Kazuma.", Mio exclaimed with her eyes shinning with joy, Regina greeted back with a simple wave and a smile "Hey, Kazuma. Hi Baroka.", Baroka also waved with a smile "Yo, Regina. Rem too.". Rem was fixated on the poster, she was still looking for her name "Yeah. Hi Baroka.". As the boys approached the the three girls, Kazuma asked "So, the poster's out. Have any of you seen your arena's yet?", Mio replied "Yep, I have. Most of us are in the same arena for the first stage.". Kazuma was a bit stunned "Really?", Baroka took a look at the poster along side Rem "Yeah, Mio's not lying. Most of us are going to do battle in the same arena.", Rem exclaimed with satisfaction "Finally, I found my name. My battle would be taken in arena 1B.". Kazuma walked up to the poster and found his name "Wow, I'm also in arena 1-B as well. The same thing for everyone in our friend group.". Regina then added "That's too good to be a coincidence. But whatever it is what it is.", Rem clapped her hands together and closed her eyes like she was praying, she had a soft smile on her face "Hm, I wonder how it's going to be like for us. I can't wait to actually show off a bit.", Regina had a nervous look on her face "Do you really think this exam is going to be some walk in the park where you can flex?", Regina muttered, Mio jokingly stated "Come on Regina, she said she wanted to flex some moves a bit. Let her.", Baroka just smirked nervously "This exam isn't going to end well with what I'm seeing.". Kazuma brought out his phone and took a snap of the poster "I'll send the pic of the poster to everyone, just so they don't have to come outside and stress themselves.". Mio then teased "Wow, you really are a nice guy Kazuma, I didn't even want to do it myself.", Regina also added "Well, at least the rest of us would know not to come out to check the poster when they can just check it on their phones after Kazuma had sent the picture.", Baroka placed his arms at the back of his head like a pillow "Well now that we know where we are posted at, I guess I can go home and train now. I'm getting tired standing around.". Rem then asked "You're not going to meet Reggie sensei for training?", Baroka scoffed "Nah, I still have PTSD from when he uppercuted me in our last spar.", Rem had a nervous smile on her face "Yeah, and I had to heal you.", Baroka also responded with a nervous smile "Yeah, and your healing sucked. Sorry.". Baroka walked off and waved "I'll see you guys on Monday during the exams.", Kazuma waved back "Sure, take care. And don't be late.", he said to Baroka. Baroka smiled at him "Sure", and walked away, Mio grabbed Kazuma by the arm and pressed her chest on it, she asked Kazuma "Hey Kazuma? You wanna hang?", Kazuma replied with a nervous smile "Well, I just came back from an outing with Ranpo sensei so I wanna go to my hostel.", Mio continued to press her breast on Kazuma's arm, Kazuma had a nervous smile on his face when he thought to himself "Her boob's... They've gotten bigger!!". Mio asked with slight confusion "Huh? You went training with Ranpo?", Kazuma yelled in his inner thought "STOP PRETENDING YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!". Mio proceeded to drag Kazuma along with her "Lets go hangout, I've been meaning to even have a chat with you.", Kazuma couldn't help but to smile nervously as he was dragged by Mio "Ahh? And what is the talk...?", Mio turned to Kazuma with a smirk "You'll see.", she waved to Regina "Bye Regina. See ya.", Regina waved back at her "Yeah, I'll see you later too.", Rem on the other hand was nervously smiling "So we're just gonna pretend that we didn't just see that? Okay then.", she thought to herself. Rem then said to Regina "Well, I'll be going as well. Later-", she didn't complete her sentence before Regina grabbed her by the collar, Rem turned back in confusion "Regina?", she muttered, Regina seemed focused and serious "Rem, we need to talk.". A few moments go bye and Rem asked "You've been staring at me for a while now. What is it?", Regina then replied "Its your behaviour towards Volt that made me want to talk with you.", Rem seemed a little annoyed "Huh? What does my brother have to do with this?", Regina explained "Yesterday, after the class, Volt tried to ask you if you both could hang together and you just ran by him and ignored him. That was pretty rude.". Rem replied with her slightly annoyed tone "Huh? I did that? Okay, so how was that your business? He's my brother. If anyone were to correct me about my behaviour, it's supposed to be him, not you.". Regina then explained "Yeah, that's right, and I'm sorry for that. But just as he is your brother, Volt is also my teammate. We've been on missions together and had time to understand ourselves. Not just that, but he's a nice and sharp guy, and because of our friendship, I can't tolerate someone just ignoring him, especially you of all people.". Rem clicked her tounge "So? It was an accident.", Regina then continued to explain "Rem, I've noticed something about you, and that's the fact that you sometimes lose focus when you see something that attracts you.", Rem then asked "Huh? What are you talking about?", Regina explained "Its something you do unconsciously. You're willing to cut someone off when you see something that benefits you, it's wrong and it's something that can get you killed if you're not careful.". Rem was a bit shocked "Really?", Regina took a sigh "Yep, its the same thing you did to Volt. You better fix it now while you can.", Regina walked away. Rem paused for a moment to reflect "She's right, I should probably apologise to Volt.".
