Isolde and Mina stood between the flowerbeds of the two buildings, one holding the other's palm, the other looking directly into her eyes.
"Is Mina out of her mind? Why is she getting so close to a low-life from the Virtuous Talent division?"
Julianne walked past the corridor with a group of people. Catching sight of the scene downstairs, her eyes immediately filled with disdain.
Vivienne turned her head and stared at her.
Julianne refused to back down, meeting Vivienne's gaze head-on. "What? Am I wrong? You're just lucky the Ravenshire family took you in, otherwise you'd be worse off than that low-life down there."
Vivienne nodded. She grabbed Julianne by the hair and slammed her knee into her face.
"Ah!" Julianne let out a miserable shriek and was knocked out cold before she could even react.
The surrounding students gasped in horror, looking at Vivienne with sheer terror in their eyes.
She used to give a warning before getting physical, but now she was attacking with zero wind-up?
"Ah!" Julianne clutched her nose, two streams of blood gushing down. "Vivienne, I'm going to kill you!"
"Is that so?" Vivienne wore a smile, the dark undercurrent in her eyes deepening. "God help you, you'd better make sure you hit me on the first try."
The lunch break ended.
Vivienne returned to the classroom.
Mina and Isolde used the gardens between the two buildings as a boundary. One returned to the unbridled Elite Talent Building, while the other went back to the restrained and silent Virtuous Talent Building.

The dismissal bell rang, and students surged out in droves.
Isolde sat in her seat organizing her coursework. Mira packed up her desk while watching her friend. Once most of the people had left, Mira gently nudged Isolde's arm.
"Isolde, what's going on with you and Mina? I saw her holding your hand. Was she giving you a hard time?"
Isolde thought for a moment. "No. Miss Blackthorne is actually quite nice. She even told me to go to her if I had any trouble."
