"Oh, I see. Isn't that the letter I sent you?" the guy said as he comfortably glanced at the letter in Seiren's hand.
"Huh? That's not what I'm talking about! Tell me what this weapon you mentioned in the letter is?"
Frustrated at his oblivious reaction, she clenched the letter tightly and rolled it into a ball.
"Now, now, Seiren; don't lose your cool here. First of all, we don't even know if he really is the one behind this letter or not, plus he is hiding his face and hasn't even told us his name. Don't go leaking information to him when we are not sure of his identity."
Alada's words were true. The guy had covered his face with a black mask, hence only his eyes were revealed to the girls, and he had not spelled his name also. Leave the name aside for a moment; he hadn't said anything about himself or who he is.
"You aren't misleading us here, are you? Because if you are, then the results won't be the nicest for you; so better confess now if you're up to something," warned Wrena; anger showing clearly on her face.
Wrena was trying to intimidate him here, and she was also confident in herself because all three of them were famous in the whole first year for their aggressive personalities. Everyone knew that antagonizing them was a bad idea.
Though even after this, the guy in front of them was standing totally unfazed; waiting for the girls to finish arguing amongst themselves so he can speak.
"So, tell us who are you. We'll decide how to deal with you after that," stated Seiren.
"Well, well, those rumors were true after all. But rest assured, I am no one suspicious. And as for my name and the reason I'm hiding my face, is because I don't want to get personally involved in anything you all will do from now on. I can say one thing for sure though; I'm indeed the one who sent the letter and I know about the weapon mentioned in it," he objected.
"You know about the weapon? Then tell me, what is it?" Seiren appealed.
"Yeah, I know. And I called you here to hand over that weapon to you."
"Hmmm, now you're making yourself suspicious as hell. Why will you give us a weapon like that in the first place? Knowing that we will use it against Ellyn," Alada interjected.
"Yes, it may sound suspicious but that's just what I want you to do; to crush that bitch. I want to see her downfall; I'm doing all this to achieve that."
"Now it's getting interesting. What dirt you have on her, what she did to you that made you strive for something like this?" Alada queried.
"I didn't want to tell but if that's what you want, then so be it," he mumbled as he leaned against the wall of the main building.
"Ellyn, I knew her before coming to this academy. She was my…girlfriend you can say. We were in a relationship for a year, but it changed after we enrolled in this academy. Her popularity skyrocketed and she started to talk less and less to me, at some point she completely ignored me.
Then I found out she is spending most of her time with a guy named Leon, there were also people talking about how they are dating. This frustrated me; I'm sure you three can relate to this."
"Well, the main reason she is our enemy is this. So yeah, our reasons for hating her can be the same. But why did she leave you and choose Leon?"
He looked straight at Seiren who asked this question, then he said. "I'm not so sure about this one myself but, it was probably because I'm not from a higher-class noble family and will be a stain on her image of the heiress of the great Rosenberg family.
Leon on the other hand is different from me in every aspect. He became popular just a couple of days after enrolment, and while he is not from a noble family; his skills in magic and sword arts are way above of a noble. Dating him will benefit her and will be good for her image, maybe that's why she chose him over me."
"So you got dumped because you were of no use to her? Well, it's understandable since, you know, Leon is the perfect guy. Any girl would like to date him even if she was already dating a king of some country. His looks are over the top, his voice is so sweet yet cool and manly at the same time, and his skills—"
"Stop right there! I know he is the best boy you can ever find, I also agree with that. But now is not the right time to count his qualities," said Wrena, stopping Seiren midway.
Then she turned toward the guy; he was still leaning against the wall, waiting for their reply.
"And? You want revenge because you got dumped?" she asked.
"That's exactly what I want, yes."
"But you do know that we won't show any mercy if we got the chance to corner her; since she gets on our nerves pretty badly. I'm telling you just in case since she was your girlfriend and all," Wrena considered.
"To be honest, I don't really care about her anymore. After I realized that she'd dumped me, I was not in the best state of mind and was feeling down; I also skipped classes for a week and shut myself in my room. Yet, she didn't come to see me. She wasn't thinking about my feelings at that time, now I don't care about hers.
Do whatever you want to do with her; I'll even suggest you show her hell. I just want to see her in misery and despair," he claimed.
"...You are pretty heartless, aren't you?" Seiren commented.
"I'm surprised that's coming from you—after being known for your ruthlessness in the whole of the first year."
"That's right I guess," she mumbled with a smile.
"Okay, so let's believe in this story of yours and assume you are the one who sent that letter—plus you want revenge on her," Wrena began as she walked toward him.
"But what is that weapon you were talking about? One by which we can control Ellyn, as said by you."
"Hmm, let me get into that. I mean, it is the reason I called you here, isn't it?"
