"He should get going, right? Alone. Well, that's what he thought. Reality is different though.
"Hey, Lukas. Let's visit the arena before heading back. We still have a couple of hours before sunset," Ama said, grabbing his hand and pulling him aside.
Lukas also decided to go there. Unfortunately, while they were in line, he accidentally mentioned that he might visit the arena.
And now, here he is, being pulled by her. His plan of being alone is ruined.
"Hey, hey, walk faster. Let's go and see how the seniors fight," Ama said, pulling him along.
They have already attracted enough attention. Some seniors even laughed at them. "Let's go, let's go," Lukas said impatiently. He couldn't bear the strange looks he was receiving. What if Levia saw him?
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the large arena on the opposite side of the credit center. The arena stood tall against the setting sun, its pillars reaching towards the sky and piercing through the clouds.
Lukas knew exactly what those things were. They collected energy directly from sunlight and moonlight, serving as one of the energy core of the academy.
"There's the entrance, let's go," Ama pointed to the left side where people were entering.
Giving one last glance at the huge pillars, he started walking with Ama pulling him, still tightly gripping his hand.
"Meh, wouldn't a girl be more reserved?" That thought crossed his mind multiple times.
As they approached the entrance of the arena, Lukas's worst nightmare became a reality. He abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Ama frowned, noticing his hesitation, and looked at his face as if it was saying, "I messed up."
Confused, she followed his gaze and turned her attention towards the arena.
Two figures were emerging from the arena. One had extremely pale skin, long black hair, and sharp red eyes. The other was a girl with light blue hair, dressed in a maid costume.
They glanced at Ama and Lukas, snorted with disdain, Spacialy at him and swiftly walked past them, disappearing into the crowd.
Lukas froze for moment before sighing and started walking forward.
Ama was somewhat confused. And was trying her best to understand some of it. As Lukas walk forward and she finally realized what's the reason.
They were grabbing hand in public!. She right away let his hand ago. " I'm sorry, I-I... Come let's go fix the misunderstanding!" She quickly spoke and was about to turn around and ran towards them.
She wasn't sure, What's the situation beside Lukas and that woman. But one thing was sure they misunderstood!
As she was about to take another step to ran after them. A frim hand grabbed her.
" Hey, Stop making weird stories in that head of yours. Let's go see the arena" Lukas spoke.
Ama turned around her head and looked down, " B-But, I think they misunderstood some..
Her words were cut short.
"I don't even them to begin with. Come let's go. The situation was complected. Let's see what's the thril about the arena first shall we" Lukas spoke with a smile.
Ama hearing this, Right away lifted up her head and looked at the smiling face. A blush crept on her face before disappearing. Bringing back her cheerful personality.
" Yes, yes. Let's go,Let's see how mages fight" before pulling him into the arena taking the lead.
Lukas felt reassured seeing everything back to normal. Giving the back a glance.
" If we aren't ment to be together, So be it. I have to many responsibilities to begin with. My goal should be getting stronger not being swayed by feelings " He thought making his resolve stronger.
The arena sprawled like a vast ring ascending towards the sky with tiers of seats. The setting sun cast long shadows across the fields where mages clashed with each other's.Each field had intricate magical boundaries to contain the intense energy.
Spector's cheered and looked at the blue screen Infront of them showing the battle between the ones they wanted to.
