Normally, whenever a problem occurred in the academy involving Mika—it was Anya who stepped in.
It had happened several times at the beginning of the school year, because back then almost everyone wanted to test him.
Many students had tried to provoke him, picking fights, mocking him, calling him the "cursed one." or sneering at his ties to the Battle Angels. Mika had been dragged into countless messes—not because he sought them out, but because others made him their target.
And every time, Anya had been the one to clean up the aftermath. She made sure there was no evidence left behind, no official report that could damage him.
She pulled strings, silenced witnesses, scrubbed records clean so that Mika's official profile at the academy remained spotless.
Rumors floated freely, yes—but Anya didn't care about rumors. As long as his record stayed clean, as long as he was untouchable on paper, she could live with the rest.
But then came that incident...The one with Maria.
