Arcana Mob

"Heh, we have more than one witness here. Do you think you could still shriek responsibility?."

"Yeah, do you think just because you are the Holzberg family heir, you could do all you want?! I'll say it once again, this is Orion University, and even though you are from the Holzberg family, you should not think that you are invincible here! "

" You…"

Cade was not really sure what had happened. But it seems those guys were really able to hit the nail on Elicia.

But now, it made Cade even more curious. For them to be this bold, just who is their backing?

While the two sides kept exchanging their thought, the situation got even tenser that even Elizabeth couldn't interfere.

The points that were said by the five guys were all correct, and Elicia was in a bit of a pinch.

But then something happened. Out of nowhere, an ice spear appeared and attacked the five guys.

From Cade's side, he could obviously see that it was not Elicia. Yet, the positioning of the attack was so damn good that even Elizabeth had a hard time making the decision whether it was Elicia or not.

One of the five guys was stabbed in the feet, and soon the commotion was increased to a whole another level.

. . . . . . . . . .

For the next few days, everything went on as if the event that day had never happened.

Nonetheless, there was one significant change.

Because of yesterday, the number of Elicia's followers has decreased a lot.

Not that Elicia really cared, though. After all, they were the ones that flocked after her.

However, she was still a bit concerned about this incident and reported it to her father. And Orion University decided to have more investigation regarding this incident.

The early result of the investigation had stated that the one using the ice spear to attack one of the five guys was not Elicia. Yet, it didn't dispel the prejudice toward Elicia at all.

As for Cade, he would just continue his life as usual.

He was still in the cycle of studying and training, yet there was a little change in it.

Maybe because on that day, Elicia had seen that even when the guys were attacking her, Cade didn't leave her and stayed by her side. She had a good impression of Cade, and now often came and chatted with Cade for a while.

Not that Cade was annoyed. Well, who would be annoyed when a cute and beautiful girl comes to you.

About ten minutes away from the male dorm was a training facility called the Body training center. It was a facility filled with magical devices and equipment for exercise and training.

Of course, one look and you could see the amount of money needed to construct such an environment would not be small.

Yet, the facility was almost empty.

It was not because people were too lazy. It's just they sometimes didn't find the point in strengthening their bodies. Most of the people here had a summon-type Arcane Card, so they would rather train their Arcane Card than their body.

While almost everyone had that thought, there would also be some exceptions.

"I knew you'd be here."

Aurum, who was drenched in sweat after playing with the exercise equipment, widened his eyes at the sudden voice.

"Luna? Are you also here to train?"

"Well… yes, but no."

Aurum was confused by Luna's answer, and with a wry smile, Luna pointed at Aurum.

" Rather… can I have some help?"

"???"

Aurum was confused by Luna's words. But when he heard Luna was actually planning to rely on him, a trace of happiness appeared in his heart.

" Umm… it is a bit weird, but…"

" Hmm?"

Unfortunately for both of them. Just when Luna was about to get into the good part, someone suddenly entered the facility.

" Hmm? Did I miss something here?"

*Blush*

It was Eva, and maybe because of Eva's interference, Luna was not able to finish what she was about to say.

" Aa…. nothing. Just treat it like I haven't said anything!"

And along with that line, Luna proceeded to run as she went into a closed personal training room, leaving both Aurum and Eva with a dumbfounded expressions.

" ???? "

" Pffttt"

The scene of Luna running away in blush made the two exchange a small laugh with each other.

After a while, Aurum wiped his sweat with a towel he had brought.

" By the way, are you here to train too, Eva?"

Aurum shifted his gaze toward Eva, which was now also in her training suit.

"Well, it can't be helped. I'm one with possession type Arcane Card, so training myself has always been a daily thing to me. Rather, I'm a bit confused why you still train yourself hard even though you have a summon type."

"… Aha."

Aurum touched his cheek slightly in embarrassment. He just couldn't say that it was also a habit to him.

Years of being called waste Arcane Card, Aurum had slightly grown accustomed to strengthening his body to protect himself.

Yet, who knows that it would be pretty useful.

"By the way, congratulations for finally recognizing your potential."

" Well, i need to thank both of you and Luna for that. Without the two of you, I would never be able to do that."

What the two have been saying was the incident of Aurum's awakening in the dungeon.

At that time, when they were cornered, Aurum suddenly felt there was an empty space in his heart.

Normally, every person would only have one empty space for an Arcane Card, but Aurum surprisingly has more than one, and he could capture an already weakened monster to be his Arcane Card.

Just like other capture targets, Eva was also born with a golden spoon. So when she realized how hard Aurum's life was and how he was still able to manage through it, she became to be interested in Aurum.

She always believed that she had worked hard and had the preserves of steel, but in front of Aurum, she finally felt the true monster of Hardwork.

"…Oh, right. There's a strange rumor circulating in our class."

Eva mentioned, to which Aurum tilted his head curiously.

" You know a guy named Cade North?"

"…Cade North? Oh, that guy who always sits in the corner of the class?"

"Uh, yeah, him… What's up with that look? Do you not like him?"

For some reason, Aurum's expression turned a bit strange when Eva mentioned Cade's name, but he quickly shrugged it off.

" Nothing.. tell me more about him."

" Well, it's just a baseless rumor. But from the rumor that I've heard, it seems he is actually a delinquent and a problem child from his previous school, which had a tie with the disappearance case in the Luminous City."
