Capítulo 153: L'Institut des Lumières Academy (2)

{Rel's POV}

[Paris, L'Institut des Lumières Academy - Main Arena Grounds]

[Friday, 9:55 AM]

I stood abruptly on my feet, trying to see where she went but she disappeared, slipping out of sight.

Then suddenly, I felt something tugging on my sleeve softly and under my nose, I looked down.

"...!"

My eyes shot open to see her up close, the familiar crimson of a massive red sweater filling my vision.

I took a nervous step back.

"Excuse me..." Her voice softly spoke, "Is there anyone sitting there?"

She pointed towards the empty seat next to mine.

It was Mr. Dubious's spot but he was in and out of the arena.

"Ah, no," I responded, trying to calm my voice.

It's alright... for the time being she doesn't know who I am yet.
