"I was just taking my Item but those guys tried to steal it from me." He pointed at Arina, Yuri, Ayato and Kuro who were shocked by his statement.

 'That's for getting ahead of me in the Race." Roger referred to Arina with a grin on his face.

 "What's going on here?" A man with dark green hair with a dark green full body suit arrived at the scene, it was Kento.

 "Your students tried to steal my student's Item."

 "But that's not what happened. That little twit trie.."

 "Enough! Because of this little event, I'm taking your Valuable Items." Nex silenced Arina. 

 "Fine." Kento sighed with a face of defeat.

 "But we didn't steal anything." Kuro begged Kento but he didn't listen.

 Arina, Ayato and Yuri placed all their Valuable Items they found into a sack being held by Nex. "Serve those half Caster right." Roger grinned.

 "I'm sure that student stole from them but I don't have any proof." Kento thought as he actually believed them.

 The Hunting was completed and the Class A and D students headed back to the Academy.

 Once Arina, Kuro, Ayato and Yuri got into class, they all had faces of injustice and were less participative in class.

 Serena, Luz and the others who knew what happened felt sorry for them.

 Later, during the night, Roger was asleep in the dorms when he was woken up by a sound. Roger saw a figure in his bedrokm but thought it was nothing. When he opened his eyes, he led out a large scream.

 The next morning, Roger ran to his Class and met Nex, his teacher.

 "Roger, what happened to your arm?!" Nex asked in shock as Roger's left arm had been cut off completely.

 "It was me! I'm the one who stole from them! I took the Item! Just please don't let that thing hurt me!!" Roger cried out all at once in fear.

 During second period, Nex walked into Class D holding a sack in the middle of teaching, "I'm sorry. You were right, my student was the one who stole from you." He said with a face which spelt 'I don't want to do this' on it. 

 He then proceeded to returning their extra Valuable Items to them. He also explained what happened with Roger.

 "Who would've done that for us?" Yuri asked Ayato as he was surprised, he didn't really think anyone would do such a thing for them.

 "I don't know but I owe that person one." Ayato replied.

 "Excuse me sir, If I may, can I carry an investigation on this unknown person." A boy named Light asked. He was the tallest in the class, he had blonde hair and wore black glasses and wore the unifrom but with a white version of it with blue trousers.

 "Sure, whatever." Nex said as he walked away from the Class.

 'It would be nice to know who helped us.' Arina thought. 

 After class, Arina looked at her Power Watch and realized the number on it had changed.

 Arina smiled after looking at it.
