[Who killed Mary?] [End]

'Did she really have to do this?'

I let out a sigh, scanning the hall.

Eighty students.

Most of them were gripping weapons, eyes burning with hostility.

Some I recognized, most I didn't.

My gaze drifted toward the familiar faces.

Elijah leaned casually against the railing, completely uninterested in fighting.

I couldn't say the same for Heather.

Zenith, Epione, and Siersha stood off to the side, observing.

Aimar and Elise mirrored them.

I looked at Aimar. "You're not going to fight me?"

He shrugged. "Can't beat you. Plus, as your only friend, my spot on the hot springs trip is guaranteed."

"....."

Fucking bastard.

I exhaled sharply, shifting my gaze to Elijah.

He just smiled, raising his hands in surrender.

Shifting my gaze to Zenith, I raised my brow.

She shook her head in response.

I sighed again.
