Rejection (2)

The students and the players were waiting for the teacher to arrive.

As usual, the group had gathered in the back corner of the large classroom.

Only Arlon seemed mildly bothered by this. Everyone else was engaged in conversation, their discussions ranging from casual to heated.

Zack and Evan, for example, were deep in a very passionate argument with the academy students.

Arlon didn't know what it was about, but judging by the exaggerated gestures and occasional eye-rolls, he was certain it was something childish.

He had no interest in finding out.

Then, movement from the classroom entrance caught their attention.

A cat Beastman girl approached their corner. She came from outside the classroom, meaning she wasn't a third year.

This was nothing new. By now, they were all used to it—random girls coming over, hoping to talk to Arlon.
