"Here is the roster for the competition. Burn it into your memories, both the participants and the audience!" The Moderator said in a booming voice. In a flash, a powerful golden light surged through the air, and a wide screen, like a sheet made of pure energy, popped up. The screen displayed the list of students who would be fighting, and their placements in the grand scheme of things. "WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!" As expected, the crowd gave a deadening roar in cheers. Despite their festive and…-

DO NOT READ!!! He was being asked the one question he had avoided all this time. It was something that added to his mystery, but now… everyone wanted to know. "Come on, Noir." "Tell us." "We're waiting." With such expectant faces, the lecturers hounded him with their questions and unyielding curiosity. He had to budge eventually. And budge he did. "My Tier is…" Noir sighed as he spoke. There was only one choice left for him at this point. He didn't want to do this, but he had to. "... Tier…

DO NOT READ "W-wha—?!" Ciara's eyes widened with utter shock, but she wasn't the only one who expressed surprise. Everyone in the class was surprised by this matchup. However, more than they were surprised, the ones who qualified appeared grateful. They were relieved not to be the ones in Ciara's shoes. "For the second grou—" "E-excuse me, Mr. Novo." Ciara raised her hand in objection, her eyes clearly showing how much she despised being stuck with Mia as a team member. "Yes? What is the…

DO NOT READ!!! As instructed, Ciara brought the survey forms of all her classmates to Noir during break. She simply, coldly, dropped the forms, and then left. No words were exchanged, and she certainly did her best not to meet his gaze. Noir, of course, reciprocated her actions—whether this was intentional or due to his intense thoughts on how to deal with his adversaries, remained a mystery. "Thank you, Ciara." He finally said as she nearly exited his office. Ciara jumped in surprise when she heard…

"Good morning, everyone." Noir greeted his students—members of the Foundation Intermediate Class. As expected, they were plenty excited to see him in class. Ever since his stunt a week ago, the students were always excited to see Noir—whether for homeroom, or for his lessons on Runes. This time, it was the former. "There's an important announcement to be made. I would have done so much later, but it seems I'll need to move up the schedule." Noir's face seemed paler than usual to the students, but…

Noir was lost in thought, sighing as he remembered his conversation with Ciara. As expected, the young girl didn't take it too well when he gave her a cold shoulder and told her the things she didn't want to hear. Noir would have loved to say he did all those things unintentionally, but it would be far from the truth. 'Ciara... this is for the best.' He thought to himself. Keeping her at arms length was what would be best for her safety—as well as the completion of his mission. 'Besides, I am a…

DO NOT UNLOCK/READ Tension ran amok in the office. Both teacher and student stared at each other in uncomfortable silence. On one end was Ciara--her eyes displaying some form of anger, perhaps indignation. Her lips were pursed in a frustrated manner, and her eyes never left Noir as she repeated her question. "Why are you here?" Noir's unfazed expression made her a bit more upset. His deadpan expression unnerved her, while his sigh made her heart jump slightly. "I don't understand your question." His…
