Something in his mind

Throughout the meal, Isaiah ignored Cygnus and would only respond to the major. The master did not mind though because he had all the time to get him to his side. It was just a matter of time.

Cygnus stood up from his seat with his usually warm appearance again, "Brother, let's go it's time for the next round of the exam. I still have to win." He grinned with a face full of confidence.

Linius stood and they all walked out of the canteen. The walk towards the arena was surprisingly silent. Isaiah was also confused as to why he needed to go with them. He was not interested in watching any of the matches anymore.

They returned to where the major was seated only to see that Celes was already there waiting for them. Linius narrowed his eyes but he still took his usual seat and his entourage stood in their positions. Isaiah chose to sit at the back so as not to disturb them.
