*********

Whilst Serena was out there and duking it out with Elton and also recruiting him within the Black market. The Trio of Mary, Sabrina, and Elaine was out there 'shopping' in the Aror Mall.

They were completely unaware that their Friend was late because of going to the black market.

[Where are you?]

Sabrina messaged Serena on her new phone. She got no response for quite a while so she put her phone in her bag.

"So...Should we eat something?"

Mary, being the only one hungry within the group suggested. She wanted to get something to eat and also engage in a conversation with the two as a way to get them familiar with one another...besides she had a wide variety of questions to ask them about the number one ranked institution in the world Shield!

She was an aspiring student, and although she was not awakened she was still curious.

"Can you tell me something about Shield?"

She asked as they made their way to a food corner, her face beaming with curiosity and envy.

"What would you like to know?" Sabrina asked her.

"Anything! How are the classes, what are the major subjects and what is the quality of the teachers and facilities there?"

Sabrina answered her.

"The classes are good, they teach us all about being awakened, and the various ways to utilize the status and power and choices we have as awakened. there are specialized courses and clubs for everything regarding awakened abilities and jobs. And even some clubs for arts and crafts. However, besides basic knowledge, the major subjects are all related to mana control, enhancement, and other applications of Mana. The teachers are all A+ rank, and the class teacher of every class is an S rank. And most instructors have at least 5 to 10 years of experience. The facilities are top-of-the-line."

She explained to her, And Mary's eyes glistened under the light of this information.

"What about the housing facilities and cost of living?"

This time, Elaine chipped in to explain.

"The housing facilities of the students are located in the entertainment sector. It ranges from 4 dorms. The Rabbit Dorms for the lowest ranked students, which do have the basic necessities and some luxury. The Sheep dorms for the higher ranked students that Rabbit, Then comes Tiger, And then the final one is DRAGON! Only the top ten of each year are located in the dragon Dorm! I and Sabrina have our own floors there, like every top ten students. The top ten also have a certain level of authority as well."

Upon hearing Elaine's explanation, Mary's eyes opened wide in surprise.

"Wait...Do you get an entire floor to yourself? How big is it?"

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ "Big."

Answered Elaine Mary. And just from that She could understand that the top 10 lived lives of luxury. Luxury that was provided to them because of their strength. Shield created a competitive environment, in which the students competed for better resources and students...It was understandable how Shield was considered the most successful and powerful institute of awakened.

"Wow..."

Mary, being quite obviously shocked muttered.

"Right? It's given to us only... because we are the strongest of our respective batches. Very few can challenge us and gain our positions. There has only been one which did and succeeded."

"Huh? Someone did? Someone challenged one of you and won?"

Mary asked upon hearing Elaine. Did someone challenge the top 10 of Shield? The progeny of high-ranked guilds and families? She had thought that the top 10 changing was extremely rare.

"Yes, And his initial rank was 998! One of the lowest. His name was Alexander Wright or something. He challenged the rank 6, Kyle Flare, and won with ease."

Sabrina answered. Even she had been shocked when it happened. The lowest of the low had challenged one of the highest and won Overwhelmingly...He was Alan's friend of some sort. But she had been wary of him. After all, he was the one that carried a nearly half-dead Alan Peccator to the hospital whilst seemingly uninjured. the two had remained close afterward.

At first, she had come to the shocking conclusion that he had beaten Alan in a secret spar...but dismissed it later. After all...who could beat Alan? Disregarding his rank which has stagnated, his battle prowess is excellent. There are few in Shield which stand a chance against him when he didn't go full power...and if he did and did transform... Sabrina knew only one could beat him, the Student Council President of Shield, and the number 1 ranked Shield Student of the third year, Daniel Khorsh. He was the only one who could give Alan a beating even in his Ice draconian form. After all... Daniel himself was a legend.

He had tied with Ezra Fornum, that was enough. That was all one had to say about his qualifications.

Their chatter continued as they ate. They all had a laugh when Sabrina asked what a burger was. She was used to the food of the high society. "Proper Cuisine' As she called it.

Although Sabrina did not dislike the burger at all, in fact, she enjoyed it. The soda however was not to her liking.

"Well...then let's go and get some clothes."

Said Elaine excitedly, she got dresses that she would wear only once or twice and then never again. That was the privilege of being the daughter of the guild master of Titan.

Even Sabrina could do this, she just didn't want to. Hell, She could buy this entire mall by just making a simple phone call.

That was the wealth of the Wellingtons. And she only had access to a small part of it.

Only Mary was one from an ordinary family here. Who could only afford a few good things. Not luxury brands.

But then...as they were shopping. Elaine noticed something odd.

"Hmmm? Why are you shopping for watches?"

"Heek!" Sabrina jumped in surprise. Elaine crept over her shoulder as they were in a luxury brand shop.

"Is it for your grandfather?... Wait."

Sabrina covered her mouth, wanting to shut her up...but it was someone else who finished the job.

"Is it for someone special?"

Said Mary with a cheeky smile. She was wondering why Sabrina had wandered off to this section of the Shop.

"Hmmph! Hmmmph!"

Elaine couldn't speak because Sabrina's hands covered her mouth, so she just nodded whilst her eyes showed her cheekiness.

She finally was free and said.

"It's for Alan! Isnt it? I should have known! Walking with him whilst holding hands! You traitor!"

She pouted, she held Sabrina whilst crying somewhat. She thought she was betrayed! All this while she thought of Sabrina as a comrade. Serena was the one who had Elijah! Her beloved, lover! She thought Sabrina had nothing official with Alan. She thought he was just the bodyguard! but to think all this time she had feelings for that brute!

"traitor! I thought we were friends!'

"What makes me a traitor?!"

"You got a boyfriend! B.OY.F.R.I.E.N.D. "

Sabrina, whilst blushing slightly said.

"He's not my boyfriend!..not yet."

"See! You traitor."

Elaine was on the verge of tears! All this time she thought of Sabrina as a comrade! fuck Serena who had a love life...although it was messed up. But Sabrina?! The goddess falling for a damn muscly Brute that WAS ALAN PECCATOR!?

Just how did this happen?

Suddenly, she came to a realization.

"...Wait was it a princess meets a knight that saves her and falls in love? I want it too! Where's my knight in shining armor?"

And thus, she had arrived at the conclusion. Her wits were sharp.

"Shut up!"

Sabrina shut her up, covering her mouth once again and now she was giving threats!

"You talk again...and I will fry you alive."

*bZZT!*

There were lightning sparks around her, and her eyes were sharp and deadly. All of this caused Elaine to turn into a frightened lamb.

"Im sowwy!"

She tried to act like a child. But it was ineffective against AngryBrina!

"Oh come on, calm down you two..."

Mary tried to diffuse the situation. And as she was doing so, Something caught her eye.

She smiled. And pointed towards a little tent, there was a sign up above.

[Fortune telling Guru!]

"Let's go there, who knows, maybe we'll have some kind of Idea about your knight in Shining armor Elaine! And how your relationship will go as well."

And seeing it, Elaine was ecstatic and dragged Sabrina with her to the shop.

And they entered.
