Elysia and Ava let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing Elena finally make peace with her family, they couldn’t help but feel happy for her.

“University, huh?” Ava’s eyes lit up at the mention. She linked arms with Elysia and Elena. “Elena’s headed to Jorlandia. Wha about you, Elysia? Where’re you thinking of applying?”

Elysia hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering. “Jorlandia, she finally said.

Ava nodded. “Then I’m applying to a university in Jorlandia, too. I know my grades aren’t as good as yours, but if I work hard, getting into a third–tier school in Jorlandia shouldn’t be impossible

“Third–tier school? You’re selling yourself short, Elysia teased, nudging Ava playfully.

Ava pouted, sticking out her lower lip. “I’m just being realistic!”

Eric walked by just then and overheard their conversation. He couldn’t resist chiming in. “You? Third–tier school? You’ve got to be kidding yourself.”

Ava’s brows furrowed at Eric’s annoying tone. “What are you even saying, Eric? Are you saying I can’t get into a third–tier school?”

Eric looked her up and down, his eyes filled with doubt. “Yeah, I’m not convinced.”

Ava’s anger flared up. She clenched her fists, ready to give Eric a piece of her mind. But Eric was quicker. As soon as he saw her fists, he bolted into the classroom.

Ava’s punch missed, and she huffed in frustration. “Hey, get back here!” she shouted, chasing after him.

“Something’s going on in Eric’s mind,” Elysia muttered, shaking her head as she watched them run off.

“Yeah, indeed,” Elena agreed, nodding her head.

The two of them stood outside, chatting for a while. Meanwhile, Ava kicked Eric out of the classroom three times. Once, she even shoved him against the wall and gave him a good beating.

But Eric didn’t fight back. He just struggled to break free and ran again. Maybe they were tired because eventually, they both stopped coming out.
