"Don't fight!"

These words didn't come from Aina. She was in too much of a daze from Raj's harsh words to even register what Yuri was about to do. If it wasn't for this person calling out, they would have definitely crossed a line of no return.

Yuri might have only been trying to protect Aina, but killing one of Leonel's brothers would have been as good as signing a death warrant. There was no way Leonel would ever forgive something like that. And, it was impossible to tell if Aina would ever be able to forgive Leonel for killing Yuri.

Luckily, at that moment, a cloaked figure flashed between the two groups, her speed beyond their expectations.

When she removed her cloak, they all immediately recognized her. This girl, Savahn, had always been the third in the group of Yuri and Aina. Though Yuri had known she was here and among the nine seeded geniuses, Savahn had been keeping her distance from Aina and Yuri ever since Conrad's death.

Back then, when Aina did something no one ever expected her to do, it was probably Savahn who had been most jarred along with Leonel about that experience.

Of course, that moment was just yet another one of the reasons Leonel's teammates felt that Aina wasn't good enough for him. They knew their Captain well and could tell that the image he had built up of Aina until that point had all come crumbling down in a single instant.

As devastated as Leonel had been that day, Savahn was equally so, albeit for somewhat similar but mostly different reasons.

Savahn had always been the abrasive friend. When Leonel persisted in always asking Aina out, it was her who tried to draw a line between them. But, things hadn't always been that way. Savahn might have seemed to have a fiery and combative personality, but that was only because she had wanted to protect Aina.

She hadn't had very many friends in her youth. Much like Leonel and Aina, she had only been able to enter Royal Blue Academy because she was found to have a Five Star Profession. With how poor her family was, making friends in a school filled with noble children seem impossible… Until she met Aina.
