Reunion [2] - Small Breakthrough

"Fatima?" Lloyd exclaimed in surprise, something he himself didn't understand since the chances of her going to the military academy were high.

After all, Mr. Khan, the man who had adopted her, was a military man and a general in the army.

"What, didn't expect me here?" Fatime asked with a little bit of pride in her voice, as if the memories of her trial had completely disappeared, not that Lloyd was even aware of her trials.

"No... I should have seen it coming." Lloyd shrugged before Fatima shoved him over and sat right next to him.

Everyone on the table took a quick scan of her core and body cultivation and widened their eyes.

While some widened their eyes because they didn't expect someone like Lloyd to know someone like Fatima, others were simply surprised to see someone as strong as she sit with them to eat rather than mock them for their weakness.

"You're a half-step?" Lloyd asked with a tinge of surprise.

"Yep. One more shove and I'll be in the X class." She grinned.
