"You know you still haven''t told me why you are dragging me to the cafeteria like this." Ace said as the two stopped in the hallway just as they were about to enter the cafeteria.
"Okay, this is going to sound crazy but my friend is here," Luis said.
"Huh?"
"My friend from my world," Luis said.
"Wha…t? How did she get here?" Ace asked.
"The same way I did," Luis said.
"That still doesn''t exin why you need me at the cafeteria with you." Ace said.
"Come here," Luis said, pulling him closer to the entrance.
"Look." The Angel said nodding towards the table where the four girls were sitting.
"You didn''t tell me E and Silvia were here." Ace said turning to Luis with a baffled look on his face. "And who are the other two girls?"
"That''s what I''m trying to tell you," Luis said, pulling him back before any of the girls would spot him.
"What are you trying to say?" Ace asked.
"There are four girls there and I am supposed to be there with them," Luis said.
"Oh, so you decided toe get me so you wouldn''t feel awkward in their midst." Ace said.
"Yeah, exactly," Luis replied.
"Don''t worry bro, I''ve got you, anything for a share in those gold coins." Ace said.
"Okay, let''s go then," Luis said.
"Quick question." Ace said before he could start moving.
"What?" Luis asked.
"Which one of them is your friend from your world?"
"You''ll know when we get there, her name is Tania," Luis said, already walking into the cafeteria.
"Tania, that''s a pretty nice name." Ace said following him.
"Whatever you had to go do for sure took long," Chloe said after Luis had arrived at the table.
"What did you go to do again?" Tania asked.
"Ummm…. This is my friend Ace." Luis said quickly introducing Ace to the two girls before they began asking who he was. "Ace, this is my friend Tania and her friend, Chloe."
"Hi, Ace," Tania said with a little wave.
"Why didn''t you tell me they were from Eukerion academy Ace that''s my second favorite academy after Crockel." Ace said.
"Really?" Tania said.
"Yeah." Ace said with a nod. "I love your uniforms."
"Thank you," Tania said with a smile before turning her gaze to Luis. "You know E here had been telling me about Crockel academy and a few of the things you''ve been up to."
"She has?" Luis said turning his gaze to E as he sat down on the seat reserved for him.
Ace had to pick up another seat and drop it beside his roommate before sitting on it.
"Yeah, I didn''t know there was an academy that had martial arts ss," Tania said.
"Yeah, we''re lucky to have one although I''m not in the ss." Ace said.
"Which ss are you in then?" Chloe asked.
"Elemental." Ace said.
"Oh, you have elemental ability."
"Yeah."
"Which one?"
"Wind." Ace said.
"Okay," Chloe said, turning her gaze away from him.
"I thought this was supposed to be for Luis and Tania catching up?" E said.
"Yeah about that… I think I prefer doing that privately with her." Luis said.
"Privately, you mean like in a locked room?" Chloe said turning her gaze to Luis.
"Noo, I mean like a different table," Luis said, shocked by what she meant by that.
"Why? All you two are going to talk about is your experiences since you arrived here and I don''t think there''s anything private about that.
"Unless you have something private to talk about like a secret rtionship or something," Chloe said slowly, taking a sip from her juice.
"Chloe," Tania grumbled.
"It''s not that.." Luis said turning his gaze to Silvia who was still clueless about what was going on here.
"Don''t worry Luis, Silvia is like a sister to me she won''t tell anyone," E said.<sub> </sub>
"Huh?" Silvia said turning her gaze to E with a confused expression on her face.
"Okay," Luis said with a sigh before turning her gaze to Tania.
"Oh, she doesn''t know," Chloe said in realization.
It took her a second after what E had told Luis but she finally got it.
"Should I start or….."
"No, you start," Tania said.

Tammy and Pearl were outside now as Pearl had picked a spot to test out the Katana des she had secretly taken from Luis.
The ce wasn''t exactly hidden as it was just across the road in front of the girls'' dorm area and there were a lot of students walking up and down around the area.
"So how do we test them?" Tammy asked swinging the des.
"We are going to spar," Pearl said.
"Spar?" Tammy said suddenly stopping her swing.
"Yeah," Pearl said with a nod.
"Okay, I approve," Tammy said, continuing her swing.
"Good because we''re starting now," Pearl said quickly, sending out a water st towards Tammy.
Tammy was caught off guard but out of Instinct, she had formed an X with the des to block the water st and as soon as it had hit them, the red gauge running through their middles had gone up a bit.
"Why did that happen?" Tammy asked looking at the gauge on both des.
"Keep trying to block my water st with the des and once those gauges are filled up, point them at me," Pearl said.
"Okay," Tammy said.
Pearl quickly continued her water st as Tammy began to block them with the des and the ones she couldn''t block she would dodge.
She was getting hit a couple of times but because Pearl''s water sts weren''t thatrge or had much force they weren''t really doing anything to her.
Pearl said this was a spar but in reality, it was just a game of try and block or dodge my water sts.
Their disy was attracting a lot of the students around the area who were mostly first years.
"The gauges are filling up," Tammy said as she did a rotating flip and used the des to block a water st that Pearl had maderge and added more force to.
"They''re filled up!" Tammy yelled as she dropped to the floor with both of the des in her hand.
"Point them at me!" Pearl yelled back.
Tammy did as she was told and quickly pointed the des at Pearl who got ready for what was about toe.
It didn''t take up to two seconds before attacks simr to her water sts had begun shooting out from the Katana des as they were all heading towards her.
With flips and spins she began to avoid the water sts while countering some of them with her water st.
"You could have just told me, Pearl," Tammy said.
"Yeah but showing is better," Pearl said as he countered another water st.
"I''m going to point these des up now," Tammy said.
"No, keep theming at me," Pearl said.
She had stopped avoiding now and was countering the water sts with her water sts.
With each counter, there was a sprinkle of water around the area.
Thest one created thergest sprinkle as Pearl used an evenrger st to block it.
"Waooooh!" The students in the area eximed as the tiny drops of water fell on them.
"That was fun," Pearl said, walking to Tammy.
"Yeah, you sure like attention," Tammy said looking around.
Dan who had been watching the show knew he had seen the Katana des Tammy was holding somewhere but he just couldn''t quite remember that was until they started shooting back replicas of Pearl''s water sts.
"I have to tell Zach about this." He said quickly running out of the area.
