Chapter 2 - Encounter

Start from the beginning
                                    

The girl's name was... he kind of forgot as he didn't pay attention that time. He had to jog up his mind a bit as he remember it was Kuna... He shook his head once again as it didn't sound right. Kayna..? Katarina..? Katna..? It took him a bit to remember it was Kiana Kaslana.

In any case, since she wasn't someone dangerous, he can't help but let out a huge sigh as he began to relaxed his body.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Now that he thought about it, there shouldn't be anyone in St. Freya Academy that would want to target him. He was just overly paranoid at nothing.

"Geez, can you stopped ignoring me..."

Still, it was quite careless of him not to notice someone approaching his back even in a safe place. That said he was confused as he was not this careless usually. Perhaps, he got a bit too distracted by the thoughts of his mentor. Or perhaps, he was just happy to see Theresa once again that he dropped his guard a bit.

"I said... Don't ignore me!"

As the white haired girl couldn't stand being ignored any longer, she tried to grab him to get his attention. However, her hand was swatted away.

"Couldn't you see I'm thinking about something?" Glynne spoke while glaring at the girl.

"W-what's up with you?" Surprised by the boy's rudeness, Kiana couldn't help but retaliate back. "Don't you think it's rude to ignore someone trying to talk to you? At least say something."

"Hah?" Glynne frowned. "If I remember correctly, it was you who is the rude one here for bothering me during training."

"I was only trying to give a compliment though!" Kiana exclaimed.

Glynne widened his eyes as he began to recall what happened earlier. He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head upon realizing his mistake.

Seeing him being awkward like that, the white-haired girl had a smug expression on her face as she crossed her arms. "Seemed like you realized it."

Glynne felt the edge of his lips twitched seeing the look her face. She reminded him a lot of his mentor. He clenched his fist as he had a hard time trying to resist his desire to wipe that smirk off her face.

He took a deep breath as he try to calm himself down. "... Right.  Well I'm sorry, it's my mistake."

"Eh?" However, the white-haired girl seemed like she didn't expect for Glynne to admit his mistakes so easily.

"What are you acting so surprised for?" the boy asked while narrowing his eyes.

"N-nothing!" Kiana replied while stuttering. "S-since you apologized, I guess I'll forgive you."

Glynne couldn't help but smile. Although she was acting all high and mighty, it was obvious to him that she was only doing it to save face.

People tend to be stubborn on some strange things, one of these things was not quickly admitting to one's own mistake. It was as such that Kiana might have expected for him make some random excuses to try to shift the blame. Though he have lost the argument, seeing her reactions was definitely worth the exchange.

Kiana cleared her throat, as she seems like she moved on a bit from that rocky start. "Anyways, are you new here? It's my first time seeing you."

"Oh, you're quite incredible for knowing everyone here." Glynne complimented. If he remember correctly, there's like about six or so hundred students in St. Freya Academy. To memorize many faces here was no ordinary feat.

"Well... it's nothing to be amazed at though." The girl said while scratching her cheeks. "Especially since the boys here can only be counted on one hand."
