Lily's eyes were instantly glued to Mika, who just arrived.
She could only see his head due to the people around him. And even though he slicked his black hair back, she could still recognize him from afar.
"Isn't Cail here, too...?"
"And those clothes..."
"Well, I guess we should let them be, right?"
The students from the other classes whispered among themselves, whereas the black class students quickly surrounded him with beaming eyes, treating him like a celebrity.
"You're back, Mika!"
"Are you alright? We heard that you were held captive in the tower!"
"Can I get an autograph?"
"You're without a doubt our class' hero!"
Mika was overwhelmed by his classmates' pressure.

Harik glanced at the smirking Belian.
"Did you know about this?" he asked Belian.
"We talked about a few things when I visited him in the tower a couple of times." Belian replied.
