"What? No, I'm not following you!" the green-haired man named Noren said hurriedly before Saphandra would beat him. 

Now that they were on open waters, if either Ning or Saphandra held a grudge against him, he would be as good as dead.

"Then why are you here?" Saphandra asked while secretly looking at Ning to see if she said it correctly. She felt a little happy when Ning nodded.

"I— It was just a coincidence. I boarded the ship without knowledge of you guys coming here. After what happened in the city, I simply wanted to return back to my school," the man said.

Saphandra side eyed Ning and asked, "what is he saying? I only understood 'city' and 'want to return'."

Ning sighed and explained what he said before turning back to the man. "Was this really a coincidence?" he asked.

"Yes, I swear to god," the man said. "In fact, I have been staying in my room the whole the day so I don't have to interact with you."
