The Hacker’s Greeting

The thin student's smirk vanished completely, replaced by a glare that burned with anger. "You've got a lot of nerves to talk—"

Lucius raised his hand to silence him. "I need to remind you about your interest in my maids. I suggest you keep your thoughts—and your distance—to yourselves."

He then leaned to them slightly and smirked. "You might think your status makes you untouchable, but trust me... you don't want to find out what happens when you cross me."

The broader student clenched his fists. He was quite mad after hearing it. "Is that so? Let's see if you still talk that way after we put you in your place." 

Both of them were about to summon their own beasts but the third observer stepped forward. He stopped between them and Lucius.

He looked at the pair. "That's enough. You'd better think twice before you do anything rash."

The two students froze. They glared at the third observer and sneered. "And why should we?"
