Meeting Her again....
When Rito came back to his place, He rested for a day..
The next day, He went to F3's base..
When he saw the F3, He asked them.
"When are we going to class?"
When the F3 heard this, They looked at Rito with curious gaze.
Bulba replied. "We don't do classes, We only do self study"
Rito was shocked when he heard this, He then asked..
"Why not? What's the meaning of going to a mage academy if you don't do classes?"
Ivy replied. "What's the point? Your teachers can't help you comprehend a spell.. Everyone has their own comprehension".
Veno added. "We only go to school if we need some resources.."
Rito didn't know whether to laugh or cry..
He shook his head and said.
"I need to learn how to control my mentality, Is there something like that on the school?"
Bulba pondered for a bit and said. "I think there is something like that.."
Rito's eyes lit up when he heard what Bulba said..
But Bulba cut his dreams right away..
"You need to be on the top 50 mage ranking if you want that, It's one of the prize for being top 50..."
After thinking about it, Rito said to himself.. "Looks like I don't need to stay lowkey now"
He said to the F3. "Let's go!! Let's go to school!!

Crimson Mage Academy..
Rito and the F3 walked straight to the school ground..
When they were about to go register for the mage ranking..
Someone stop them...
"Excuse me !!"
Rito and the F3 turned to looked at who called them...
They saw a middle age man with a gentle face.
"Bulba, Is he the one you brought to take the test the other day?"
This middle age man is Caine...
Bulba said. "Yes, Is there something wrong?"
Caine immediately replied. "No! No! Nothing's wrong, But you know the procedure.."
He then smiled bitterly.
Bulba after hearing what he said, Understood it right away, He said.
"Alright".
Bulba looked at Rito and said. " He will just talk to you about something".
Rito heard Bulba and was confused about what's going on.. So he just nod.

"Hello..." Rito said.
Caine looked at him for a while before saying..
"I am pretty curious about you, I hope you did not think about it".
When Rito heard what the man said. He gulped.
He was having a cold sweat..
When Caine saw the young man, His face turned darkened.
"Kid, Let's not joke around each other, I just have some questions for you..."
Rito was curious why this man stopped him so he nodded..
"Hehe good kid, I heard about some things around the city... especially the Slums, I wonder if you know anything about it..."
After Caine said this, His expression turned cold and stared at Rito..
Meanwhile Rito have a calm expression..
But inside, His heart was beating fast...
"Nope, I don't know anything.."
Caine looked at him while smiling coldly..
"Hehe"
After a faint laughed, Caine returned back to normal and said.
"Well, I'm just testing you.. I just want you to know that you got accepted because Bulba recommended you.. But you still need to work on your own... Why don't you try to register in the Crimson Mage Rankings? If you get good results, We will accept you..".
Rito was already on high alert, even though Caine returned back to normal..
He knew he was still not safe...
There's something about Caine that give Rito a dangerous feeling...
Rito just listened to Caine...
and then said.. "I was gonna register for the ranking but you interrupted me.."
He then added.. "I'm going now if you don't have anything to say..."
Rito turned around and walked away...
While Caine just looked at him while smiling...

When Rito was far enough, He thought to himself..
"Looks like staying lowkey will only get me trouble.. It's time to show off now, I don't care anymore".
He was a bit pissed about the interrogation..
So now, He needed to take this Crimson Mage Ranking seriously...
At first, He just wanted to be on top 50, but now, He will aim higher...
When Rito went where the F3 was...
He saw someone on the Park of the school ground...
The F3 who was about to greet Rito, suddenly stopped.
Rito opened his eye wide while staring at someone...
The F3 on the other hand, was curious so they follow the gaze where Rito was looking...
They saw a girl.
She was wearing a blue white robe.
Her hair was tied behind her back..
When they saw where Rito was looking they were shocked..
They walked up to Rito and Bulba opened his mouth...
"Do you know her?".
Rito woke up from his dazed when he heard Bulba's question.
"N-No I don't".
Rito can't tell the F3 that he met her when she was naked...
Or there will be a disaster..
When the F3 heard this, They began to smile wickedly like they understand something..
Bulba opened his mouth and said..
"Her name is Lele.. She is a High Grade Magician.. no. 3 on the Crimson Mage Ranking..".
When Rito heard what Bulba said. He was stunned..
He never thought that stutter girl was strong...
He looked at the stutter girl again and stared at her for a long time....

On the park,
Lele was walking around..
She was looking at the scenery...
When she was about to move on...
She felt a gaze..
She looked around to find who was looking at her.
When she saw a young man wearing a red robe..
She was shocked and blushed right away....
-
-
-
Rito on the other hand,
Saw the stutter girl noticed him...
He can't help but scratched his head while stealing glances at her..
They were doing it for a while now...
While the F3 was giggling on the side...
Bulba can't take it anymore because they were stealing glances at each other for five minutes now so he said to Rito..
"She doesn't have a group yet.. why don't you invite her".
He kicked Rito in the butt out of frustration..
When Rito heard Bulba, He began to feel nervous...
This will be the first time he will invite a girl for something...
He looked at the F3, The F3 only gave him a thumbs up while smiling wickedly.
He looked at Lele again...
When he saw Lele staring at him too..
He began to sweat...
While he was still hesitating, Bulba gave him a last push and kicked him in the butt..

Lele was looking at the young man wearing a red robe...
She began to feel nervous too...
She didn't know what to do..
That young man was still a stranger to him....
And she remember what happened on the lake before...
When she saw he got kicked, She giggle a little...
And looked at him with her clear gazing eyes...
-

Rito started to walk towards Lele..
Every step he made, His heart was pounding wildly..
When he was in front of Lele he said..
"H-Hello, N-Nice to see you again.."
When Lele heard the man, She can't help but remember what happened in the lake..
She blushed, But this time... She replied to him..
"H-Hello..."
After saying that, She lowered her head...
Rito on the other hand, Don't know what to do...
After saying his greeting, He was lost for words..
They just steal glances at each other again...
Feeling the awkwardness, Rito went straight to the point..
"You group join us want?".
Rito didn't know how to talk to a girl...
Because of nervousness, He jumbled the words he wanted to say..
Lele after hearing what the man said..
Can't help but let out an "Eh??"
She still doesn't know his name, how can she join the group...
But seeing the young man being nervous..
She let out a smile.. That smile was the most beautiful thing in this world..
When Rito saw Lele smiled at him.. He lowered his head and just stared at his tummy..
He then remembered, He still doesn't introduced himself..
He was shocked and looked up..
"I am Ri-"
"Okay".
He doesn't finished introducing himself when he heard Lele said something..
He let out an "Eh?"
Lele looked at him while smiling and said, "Okay".
Rito was just in a dazed... This is the first time he talked to a girl as beautiful as her..
When he regained his senses..
He heard that she agreed...
He was about to jump wild in joy...
When he suddenly heard something on his back...
"Lele, Who is this pig?"
