"Eric?" Auric widened his eyes.
"Isn't he the rumored rival from your school, Auric?" Ellia asked while turning to Auric, only to find that he had already disappeared. "…where is he?"
Arina pointed to the side. Auric was already running toward the campus.
"What?" Ellia was stupefied.
"I will catch up to you guys later. I really can't miss this fight!"
"Wasn't he supposed to be on bad terms with both of them?" Ellia was bewildered. She didn't expect such a reaction.
Arina shook her head. "Don't ask me."
"…should we go as well?"
Arina smiled wryly. "How about your work?"
"It will just take a bit more time, so it doesn't really matter." Ellia was rather curious about Auric's reaction. He looked so enthusiastic earlier.
