Chapter 997: ...Huh?

"Renna!"

"What the…"

"No, not here. Let us make our way to the next room, my brother from another mother."

"...Right."

Lucy and Arthas have been making their way through the hallways of the Hero Academy, with Lucy just blatantly opening rooms without even any regard for anyone else. He does not even stop or pause to acknowledge the class he has interrupted before moving on to the next one.

As for Arthas, he was just shrugging his shoulders each time before following behind Lucy with a smile on his face; he was even letting out a small chuckle here and there.

"Renna, are you in this class!?"

"Who—"

"Alas, perhaps you and Renna are truly not just fated to meet," Lucy shut the door of the class before the instructor could even utter another word.

"Maybe we should just return to class and wait for the school to end?" Arthas suggested, "This is my first day, and it might also be my last, after all — I want to experience it."
