By afternoon, the normal classes were finished. Just like the other students, Azzy also stood up from his seat and started to leave for the cafeteria except that Estella was also seen tagging along. She stuck to him like glue, instead of going with her two forr acquaintances and attracted the attention of others.
So wondered regarding the nature of their relationship while others didn't think too much into it. And with Azzy's reputation within the campus, no one dared to point it too.
Azzy walked into the cafeteria and took a seat at an empty table instead of joining the line. Estella was taken aback a bit at first, wondering whether soone else is bringing him the food or sothing?
She shrugged her shoulders and joined the line. Strangely, for so reason, she didn't tell others to move aside to give her the way. Just within four hours, she beca obedient and shed her arrogance? Naturally, it's not. Under Azzy's watch, she was forced to follow the rules.
anwhile, Azzy continued to wait, glancing at the entrance from ti to ti until the appearance of two girls who beca the center of attention of every boy present around.
While both of the girls are incredibly popular within the academy, Mia's fan following was more despite how cold she usually acts with everyone and rarely smiles. In fact, during the last year Valentine's week, soone in her class took the picture of her rare smile and sold it to her fan for more than ten thousand credits. Of course, the picture was seized by the Disciplinary Committee and the two culprits were punished with a ten-page self-reflective essay.
As for Claire, her foreign appearance and her different slang were indeed an attraction for many, but it is no secret that Azzy and Claire are a couple. So, many wouldn't dare approach her.
"Rael," She waved her hands excitedly. Being in a honeymoon phase in dating, Claire would always be in high spirits whenever she gets to see Azzy. On the other hand, Azzy's feelings were complicated.
While he likes her, Azzy wasn't sure whether he truly loves her, or he just thinks he loves her because she'll be his wife in the future. At the sa ti, he constantly worries that he will have to leave for his ti, thereby, leaving her for 27 years. He's only 13 years old where he just needs to have fun living his life without any responsibilities. Is it the age to have such worries? Thankfully, Azzy forgets about those worries and focuses on savoring the mont more whenever he gets to spend ti with her alone.
"Took you long enough," Azzy comnted as he stood up and walked towards them.
"Well, Amy, that fool proposed to Shawn after the class ended and her ex made a ruckus. Ugh, it's a ss." Mia seed like she was irritated. "Anyway, Claire said you were summoned to the Principal's office during morning break, right? What is it about?"
Claire also looked at him curiously. During the class break, she wanted to go down to the second floor and et him but she got a ssage saying that he was going to the Administration building because of a summoning.
"Oh, it's about the appointnt of Vice President," Azzy answered her while walking towards one of the lines. Just as they reached the end of the line, he heard a voice from nearby, "President Rael, you are there?"
Not just Azzy, but even Mia and Claire also turned towards the direction of the voice, mainly because of how Azzy was being addressed. Instantly, a frown appeared on Claire as her eyes fell on Estella who had a platter with food on her hands and a puzzled expression on her face.
"Oh, so, you were waiting for them, huh. Okay, I'll be there…" As Estella saw Claire and Mia, she let out a comnt and went towards the table Azzy earlier sat without bothering to greet them.
"Rael?" This was the term that forced Claire to react to it. She abruptly turned towards Azzy and looked at him questioningly, narrowing her eyes, "what's going on here?"
Azzy doesn't know why but he felt a chill run down his spine as he took a glimpse at Claire's face. "Apparently, the school managent from the main branch added a request that along with the transfer, the two exchange students must also receive a high position in the two student bodies. Now, she's appointed as the Vice President of our Disciplinary Committee."
"That makes sense," Mia nodded in understanding. In the morning, after the division allotnt for new students, she was also summoned to the Principal's office and was inford that Louis is going to be the Student Council's new Vice President.
"That's not the point here," Claire replied differently as her reasoning to inquire was sothing else. Pointing her finger at Estella, "why, nobody like her is addressing you as Rael?" Claire doesn't like the fact that soone else apart from her is calling him like that.
As her voice was a bit loud, it attracted the attention of everyone nearby who was busy with their own discussion. In an instant, Azzy felt several gazes from every side.
Her question brought a change in Estella's facial expression and she halted her footsteps and turned around.
"It was this girl again?" Estella got triggered by Claire's words.
*Ting*
She violently put down on the platter on the table, spilling the food, and walked towards them at a quick pace. Stopping before Claire, Estella glared at her and said, "You dare call nobody? Who the hell are you?"
Claire only ant that she was nothing but a stranger to Azzy. So, why is he allowing her to address him by a short na, which is usually reserved for close friends and family? However, Estella, who has a high ego and has already been insulted once during their first eting (according to her), didn't take it that way.
She felt that Claire trying to put her down because she interacted with Azzy. A weakling like her didn't even have the right to talk to her much less berate as nobody. This is Estella's view.
Unfortunately for her, Claire seed like she isn't going to back down from even a fight. She crossed her arms to the chest and stated out loud and clear, "One, this is my boyfriend. Two, you aren't close enough to call him by nickna. He's Azrael to you. Three, stop behaving like you own the school. I don't care how your forr schoolmates behaved around but don't expect the sa here."
The entire cafeteria went silent for a while and everyone just stared at both girls.
"Oh, you are his girlfriend?" Claire's eyebrows were raised. An idea popped up in her head, and she spoke to rile her up, "then, you should break up as you lack the necessary qualifications to stay beside him. The world of us who were the hosts of platinum grade Arcana is vastly different from weaklings like you. You should know your place by now."
"You…" Claire instantly released her aura in anger, increasing pressure in the surroundings. Ever Mia was taken aback by how strong her aura has beco. Estella was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Claire's soul energy. Her Arcana spirit got excited to battle.
Pointing her finger at Estella, Claire threw a challenge, "People like you really need a thorough beating to learn so manners. Co outside, right now."
"Um, Claire?" Azzy slowly called her. But, he got a sharp response instead, "What!"
"Nothing, I'm just hungry," Azzy looked away.
"Then, go and join the line." Claire appeared very angry that even Azzy didn't want to disturb her at the mont. He directly turned around and joined the line. For so reason, his guts told him to not intervene in a girl's fight.
anwhile, the others stared at him in a daze.
Where is that guy who on the very first day of school caused trouble with the instructor by killing his Arcana?
Where is that guy who forced the tenth graders to kneel?
Where is that guy who almost beat up ten bullies to death because his friend was bullied by the seniors?
Where is that guy who almost killed a genius student of a top academy in front of everyone?
Where is that guy who made everyone tremble in fear with his stare?
Where is that guy who is known to be the most powerful student in the academy?
Looking at the tiger that beca a cat in front of a girlfriend, so people shook their heads in pity while others sneered in their minds.
"Eh? What's going on here?" It was at that mont, a certain person with round glasses stepped inside the cafeteria and stopped with a look of surprise on his face.
