After finishing his evening training with headmaster Hera, Adrian headed to Nova's cafeteria. Although Nova had several restaurants and cafes, the cafeteria was the only place cadets could eat for free. As such, Adrian and other cadets from non-wealthy backgrounds frequented this place.
Adrian ordered a dinner set, then headed to grab a random seat.
"Huh? Why are you guys here?"
But on one table, he found two people he never expected to see, Emma and Evelyn. They were whispering to themselves and were startled when Adrian came up to them. Then, they dodged each other's gazes with somewhat awkward gesticulations.
"O-Oh, you're here."
Evelyn slowly said as gazed at Adrian.
"What were you two talking about?"
"Nothing."
Adrian sat down next to Emma, then Emma sniffed him.
"Did you come here after training?"
"What's the point in sitting around, right?"
"...You're obsessed. Can't you take a break for a day?"
