It could transform into any weapon—sword, gun, axe, whatever you needed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm sure it doesn't really matter to Lucas, since in the future, he'll receive an even more overpowered weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The only unfortunate thing is that past the academy's competition, I don't have much knowledge about the novel...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But, let's not worry about that for now...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aestrea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go request a song already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, pick something good!

I requested a famous tune from our region—something that could please my classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, he knew the song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sorting the payment with him and the maid, I started heading back to my table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that's when it happened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something—or rather, someone—crashed into me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of silver filled my vision, and before I knew it, Ella was on the floor, mumbling softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, her wide, startled eyes locking onto mine. Her silver hair shimmered in the café's lighting, and her face... well, it was the color of a tomato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze, her mouth opening and closing like she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked with a soft tone.

One of the girls—a lively-looking one with a sly grin—was barely hiding her laughter behind her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Rose adjusted her glasses while smirking slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas sitting with them didn't look as entertained.

I almost forgot that he has a crush on Ella...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well... not like I care about it though.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry about that,\" Ella stammered embarrassingly, stepping back like she wasn't sure if she should stay or bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, princess; I didn't see you coming either.\" I smiled back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-huh... p-princess?\" her eyes widened significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nearly forgot that her identity had not yet been made public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I need to quickly make an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Think!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My lips quickly curled into a softer yet charming smile as I added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such beautiful and unique hair, if you're not a princess, who is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I… th-thank you…\" Ella's face, somehow, turned an even deeper shade of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her wide eyes blinked rapidly, and she stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite funny, she didn't know how to reply to my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bowed again, this time a little slower, clearly trying to regain her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, the lively girl from her table was practically in tears from holding back laughter, while the one with glasses, Rose, adjusted them yet again, her smirk widening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other now, she had her head buried in the table, don't know why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas, though?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't look happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah… guess I hit a nerve there.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ella fidgeted on the spot, unsure of what to do next, so I decided to ease the tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful next time, alright? We wouldn't want you running into anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R-right!\" she squeaked, stepping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, realizing how awkward she looked, she dipped her head once more and hurried back to her table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she plopped into her seat, her friends immediately leaned in, whispering and giggling like they'd just witnessed the juiciest gossip of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas... only glared at me before averting his gaze from mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking my head with a small smile, I returned to my table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for taking so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ohhh, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of my classmates asked, grinning like he'd just caught me doing something scandalous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, who was that? She looked like she saw a ghost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. She just bumped into me, that's all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just bumped into you, huh?\" A girl sitting across from me raised an eyebrow. \"Didn't look like 'just' anything from where I was sitting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop making it a thing.\" I rolled my eyes to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, sure,\" she teased, leaning back with a smug smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These kids...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we left the café, the streets were bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun, making the city feel alive in ways that made my quiet academy seem like a distant memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students scattered in all directions, laughing and chatting, as they decided where to go next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stayed a few paces behind, letting the energy of the city wash over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a far cry from the peacefulness of the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll need to act as fast as possible... so, tonight should be a good time to start.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morph-weapon is one of the underground labs, which means that I'll need to go to the black market first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas normally would get it a day before the competition because he 'accidentally' meets a little girl who was running away from robbers and immediately beats them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he talks with the little girl and gets news about an experiment lab that focuses on making weapons using virgin blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And children are the first target of them because they have the purest blood for this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Of course, the first thing I'm doing is destroying the lab...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm no hero, but this kind of messed up thing needs to be obliterated of the face of the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, getting into the black market isn't necessarily an easy thing because I don't have a pass or card for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Mhm... It seems that I'll have to do it the hard way.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A forced entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black market guards should be in the middle stages of B rank, so I should be able to deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only need to be lucky enough to not meet one of the black market's bosses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More especially, Yara Devereux.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's the person who holds the most shares of the black market, holding a perfect 51% that grants her authority over the entirety of the black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas meets her when he destroys the laboratory, and she has been interested in him since that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for their future relationship...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I don't know...
