Borrowing Without Them Knowing

There was no mistaking it. The woman who was sitting with her back facing Renduval was no one but Luvia herself. The lady that had been haunting his heart in

the academy for as long as he could remember. He had not the slightest idea as to why she was such a dear to him but it was plain obvious for the onlookers that the feeling was not mutual at all.

"Huh?" Lyon squinted his eyes before he stopped walking further. "Those four are from this noon."

"Luvia," Renduval called out. 

Luvia immediately felt the cold shivers creeping on her spine. She had just berated him this noon, humiliating him in front of the whole Alchemy Union. Over the course of a fault that was not even his. The one who befell kunpeng and dropped the carcass from the very sky was Lyon.

She refrained. Her balled fists were pressing against her thighs as she refused to turn around.

"Haven't seen you since noon, Renduval."
