"Didn't you ever think it was strange that you suddenly got two new classmates?" Charles asked mockingly once we were inside the cave.

"Well Luke and I suddenly entered the the Abright Institute Academy during kindergarten as well. So I thought you guys were able to improve your grades drastically to enter this class as well." I responded.

"Well there are those rare cases too, but didn't you guys have a long introduction because of that to your classmates." Charles hinted.

That did remind me that Luke and I introduced ourselves for the entire day and explained our history to the other partners like how we ended up entering this school.

'So let's welcome Charles and Miliana to our class' Daniel's voice echoed into my head.

"Your last names! Daniel never fully said your names!" I exclaimed.

"Who are you?" I questioned him intensely.

"I guess it doesn't matter if I reveal myself now. I am Charles de Lumiere and heir to the Lumiere family while engaged to my partner, Miliana Lumiere Ruette." Charles bowed like he was welcoming guests at a elegant party.

"What about your family name? That doesn't answer anything about the sword!" I replied back with a bit of annoyance in my voice. What was about the first district's obsession with family names! Luke, Allan, and Alex all seemed pretty particular about it. Shelly and Ellen also seemed like they were treading careful boundaries when they talked to people outside our inner circle at school.

"You don't know anything do you? Even though you're a central part of it." Charles said scoffingly like I was the only one that missing out on this common information.

"To start off, do you know the top five families in the first district?" Charles asked.

"I did hear that the Roselia and Monete family was part of it?"

"So I guess you're not completely clueless. The remaining top five families in the first district is the Lumiere, Nuelle, and Suilett families." Charles continued.

"Your family is very powerful. Since the eldest son of the Roselia family is marrying the heiress of the Suilett family, making Luke the heir to the Roselia family."

Luke had a older brother? I wonder why I never heard of it before.

"I never heard any of this," I admitted.

Luke knew alot of things about my family from my constant complaints about my homesickness in elementary school when I tried to slack off. But I guess there was barely anything I knew about Luke other than that he was from the Roselia family that he kept on emphasizing.

"You should ask for the rest of the information to Luke since it's not my place to say everything when I'm not your partner."

"What about that sword? You can tell me stuff about the sword without the complicated family history right? I even saw Alex carrying a similar sword around when he was younger." I added to make it seem like I wasn't completely left out on the information.


"Fine I'll tell you up to this much. Each heir to the top five families in the first district possesses a sword like mine." Charles derisively replied.

"That's barely any information!" I shouted in irritation.

"Just go to sleep Rika and save your energy for tomorrow." Charles just replied.

After eating the tasteless flowers after I woke up, Charles and I quickly set out to go to the next cave.

We spent out days in silence as we did not have enough energy to talk from walking excruciatingly long distances non-stop to get to the nearest cave to sleep in for the night.

The most miserable part was that our mana didn't work as easily like the first district. This meant our pace was really slow. We weren't even half way there to the facility yet.

When we finally reached the midway point, I broke the silence, "Seeing that you're not a jerk as much as the first time I saw you, why were you so mean the first time we met?"

"I heard the rumors about the partner switching incident when I was in the other class. I just didn't want the same things to happen to me so I kind of took drastic measures." Charles squeezed out a reply.

'Drastic measures' I see. What did these eleven year olds think of me!

I was seeing a consistent pattern from the actions of Alex and Charles, Allan was just childish in comparison.

"Why did you even transfer into our class? Wasn't our grades always split into two even classes?" I asked.

"Just as you mentioned before, a new pair entered the school in our grade and the school had to decide how to rearrange the classes. Most times in these kinds of situations, the top five families are rearranged to be in the same class. So it was decided that Miliana and I would transfer to this class." Charles answered like there was no end to my questions.

"What about Ellen and Allan? They're not included in the list." I voiced my thoughts out loud.

"They're not but their families are pretty powerful and old too just not as much as the top five. They're part of the top ten families in the first district." Charles answered as if he was dumbing things down.

"Then what really separates from being part of the top five?"

"This is the last question I'm answering because of your constant pestering. It's mana." Charles replied.

No matter how much I continued to pester Charles for more answers, Charles pretended he was asleep for the reminder of the night.

I gave up trying to shake Charles who was pretending to sleep to get back up when I knew I would soon have to sleep to have enough energy to go to the next cave.

I prepared to go to bed as I soon covered myself with the fur blanket I stole from the tent.

Click. Clack. Clic-

Footsteps. I heard footsteps that were getting bigger, which meant that something was heading towards this cave.

"Charles, wake up! Something is heading towards this cave!" I whispered in his ear.

"What!" Charles shouted in surprise as he quickly got up.
