A New Dawn

The next morning not only brought with it reinvigoration, but also a renewed sense of purpose.

Despite Nobu's untimely demise, despite all that had transpired during the Class Event, Hade realized that he still had a lot to get up early in the morning and strive for.

Yes, as long as he had people he loved and wished to protect, as long as he dreamed of becoming the master of his own destiny one day, slacking, even for one second, was absolutely out of the question.

"It is a new dawn," Hade muttered to himself as he got up and got ready for the day's tidings.

After showering, he carefully and strategically combed his hair, put on his school uniform, before tying a black bandage around his right hand... to hide Luck's familiar beast mark.
