He opened the door.
"Remember this."
"You are not training to fight monsters."
"You are training to survive a world that has already lost."
And with that…
He walked out.
The door closed.
The bell rang.
Break time.
The classroom instantly came alive.
"Let's go eat!"
"I'm starving!"
"Finally, a break!"
Students stood up and rushed outside.
Rowan remained seated, leaning back in his chair, eyes half-closed.
Then he felt it.
A presence.
Standing right in front of him.
…Again?
Rowan slowly opened his eyes.
Velqira.
What the hell is she doing here again?
"Do you have a problem with me?" Rowan said, frowning.
Velqira didn't answer.
Instead, she suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Hey—!"
"Come with me," she said.
She pulled him up from his seat and dragged him toward the door.
"Oi! What the hell?!"
The entire class froze.
"…Did the princess just grab him?"
"Is that nobody holding hands with the princess?"
"No way. No way. No way."
"I'm going to kill him."
