A commotion in the classroom

Clair lightly blushed, and she looked quite nervous all of a sudden. She looked at Lilith, and she saw a friendly smile. It soothed her heart by a little.

'Being in the company of a friendly classmate isn't a bad idea.' She thought.

Clair gulped while trying to build a dose of courage. She stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I am... I am afraid of Nikolai Graymoon. I heard he hurts women... I am afraid he will hurt me..."

Vincent chuckled. It seemed Clair would've joined immediately if it wasn't for Nick and his infamy. If Vincent could ease her mind, then she might join them.

"Nikolai told me his side of the story, but he could have told me a lie. However, from what I heard and saw, his parents appear to accept Nikolai's words over those who spread the rumors. Furthermore, Vopor Sunrise remained his friend, and I could see he was sad to be in a different class." Vincent said in a low voice.
