章節 55: Day 2 Of the Scouting Invitational Tournament (2)

[Pinnacle Academy Stadium 1 - Arena A Hallway to the Student Section]

{Rel's POV}

That damn fucker Julian... He thought I was looking at his childhood best friend wrong. 

I think he had it all mixed up.

The back of my hand swiped across my eyes, wiping away that traitorous dampness from overextending that stupid staredown.

Sure, my vision still seemed a touch of the usual, but admitting that, even to myself? Impossible. Maybe some fine grit had blown under my eyelids or something like that.

It wasn't until Julian finally turned away that I realized…had Jan seen all of that?

The guy shifted awkwardly, the concern on his face making me almost as uncomfortable as the stinging sensation in my eyes.

"Rel, seriously, do you know who that was...standing beside Miss Yuka?" Jan gave me a concerned look as we continued walking.
