Yuri's Counterstrike

Tuss had no clue that he was being watched. One day, as usual, he went to pick up Yuri after school, and they both headed to the cafeteria together.

"Find us a spot, Yuri. I'll get our lunch," Tuss suggested.

Yuri, whose attention was still fixed on her opticomputer as she revised for midterms next week, didn't even glance around. She simply picked a random seat and sat down.

To her surprise, as soon as she sat down, a crowd quickly filled the table behind her. And just her luck, they were all exchange students from the Empire, including Prince Theodore, Prince Herbert, Princess Jira, and several other Empire students.

Yuri didn't notice any of this. She remained engrossed in her opticomputer. Tuss, returning with two trays of food, raised an eyebrow but kept quiet. He calmly sat down across from Yuri.

"Dude," Hoolin approached like a gust of wind, lowering his voice, "Why'd you guys choose this spot?"
