It’s just a small bout, isn’t it?\" Ophelia tried to play it off as something trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The harm? Are you kidding me?! He is the strongest student! How could I stand up to him?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strongest student? Don’t kid yourself.

Right...?\" Lily wanted to reassure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed more nervous than Mika despite him being the one who would fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though we’re considered as the same rank, I still feel like he’s on a completely different level than me.\" Sylvia stated tensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika just laughed it off awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I will manage somehow.\" he declared carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared at him in disbelief with their mouth agape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I think about it... Since we enrolled here, there was no single day where you wouldn’t be involved in trouble. Don’t you want to take a break?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, she’s right! It’s as if you attract all kinds of events.\" Lily added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two are screwing with me, are you...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika sounded calm with a hint of anger, leading to the girls giggling lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three enjoyed the remaining time of lunch as they indulged in conversations about trivial things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, nothing distracted Mika during lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had a big main event coming up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you later then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t try to run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?

If that’s the case then I will have to disappoint you even more because we won’t be the only ones watching.\" Sylvia teased as her eyes scanned the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika tried to look in the same direction as hers and saw multiple students from his class quickly averting their eyes from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like his heart sunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think that your own classmates wouldn’t notice?\" Lily meddled in while laughing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he thought about it, there were a few students present during his conversation with Belian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that those students spread the information about the fight amongst them without Mika noticing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I almost forgot again. Not only your classmates but also my classmates will be watching.\" Sylvia stated bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on! Do you mean the white class will come?!\" Mika asked shocked as he shot up hysterically from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the bell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess it’s time to go.\" Sylvia said with a slight grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck, we will root for you!\" Lily declared brightly as she waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the stunned Mika was the last one to leave the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I already feel sorry for them as they will watch your sorry performance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mika took a deep breath as he turned serious for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, be honest with me.
