Yuka stood up from the training pod and noticed Fred beside her, his face gloomy and his fists clenched. "Fighting is prohibited in school," she kindly reminded him. "Or else, you'll be expelled."
Fred's expression darkened further. He huffed loudly and walked towards Alex.
Startled, Alex instinctively took a defensive stance. Fred's outstretched hand halted mid-air. He scoffed coldly and tossed a space button to Alex.
Alex, in a rush, caught it, hearing Fred say, "This is what you wanted. Remember your promise and never return to the palace again."
Alex gripped the space button tightly, his lips pressed together as he nodded, "I will."
After Fred left, Ayoi and Yuka approached Alex and left the classroom with him. Under their curious gazes, Alex spoke softly, "This belonged to my mother, an old-style mecha... She was also a soldier of the Alliance Army."
"Wow, that's impressive," Yuka and Ayoi exclaimed.
