The two girls lit up the moment they heard Leopard speak.

They had assumed he’d at least ask a few questions and then decide on a punishment depending on the severity. At best, they’d hoped for a serious demerit.

At most–if everything went perfectly–Raven might be expelled. That was their ideal scenario, though even then, they hadn’t dared to expect too much.

But now, hearing Leopard’s tone, it sounded like he was ready to take action. Their confidence swelled immediately.

Just as they were about to grab Leopard and march him off to confront Raven, the curvy girl caught sight of a wave of people pouring in from the direction of the academic buildings. And leading that group–Raven herself, walking calmly hand–in–hand with Cassian.

For a moment, the girl almost felt like the heavens were helping her today.

She quickly pointed at Raven and turned to Leopard, her voice urgent, smug with anticipation. “That’s her. The one walking in front.”

Leopard followed the direction of her finger. The moment his eyes landed on Raven, his body froze.

Wait–wasn’t she talking about a trainee who abandoned the training field to flirt with a guy?

Raven, flirting to get attention?‘ He wouldn’t have dreamed of such a thing… even in his nightmares.

But then he saw their hands.

Raven. And Cassian. Holding hands.

Leopard felt as if he’d been struck by lightning.

This… this was real.

The infamous, unapproachable, eternally single Iron Queen of Regalhold had… a boyfriend?

Raven had someone.

Meanwhile, he–a grown man, full of hopes and protein powder–was still painfully, pathetically single.

Was there any justice left in the world?

While Leopard reeled from that existential crisis, many of the new recruits had already turned their attention to Cassian.

“Whoa, that guy in front is insanely handsome.”

“I swear, he looks better than any celebrity I’ve ever seen.”

“Honestly, if getting into Regalhold meant I’d run into guys like him, every second of studying was worth it.”

Since all of them were freshmen, most didn’t know who Cassian was. To them, he was just some ridiculously good–looking upperclassman.
