The Hundred-Academy Exchange Meeting had officially come to a close yesterday, and today was the day the representatives from each academy returned to their schools.
The Imperial Capital's square was packed that morning, with people saying their goodbyes everywhere.
The flags of the various academies snapped in the morning breeze. The engines of magical airships roared one after another, and enormous shadows occasionally swept across the ground.
"Yaaawn..."
Greg let out a sleepy yawn as he walked.
But before he could even finish, Nightmare's resentful voice rang out in his mind:
"Hah, thou hast the nerve to yawn? I witnessed the entire affair last night! As my other half, thou wert pinned down by some bitch the whole time. Thou hast utterly disgraced me!"
Greg replied helplessly, "I really couldn't take the lead yesterday. I was the one in the wrong, after all. I couldn't exactly push her away, could I? Next time. I'll definitely do what you said next time."

The strength and possessiveness that the normally gentle girl displayed at a moment like that made her seem like an entirely different person.
"Thou hast given thy word."
A hint of excitement and anticipation crept into Nightmare's voice:
"Next time, I must see thee riding that bitch hard!"
"Ahem..."
Greg nearly choked on her words and hastily coughed twice in his mind to hide his embarrassment. "Anyway, I'll do my best..."
He quickened his pace, wanting nothing more than to end the conversation.
The morning sunlight spilled across the square, stretching the shadows of the colorful flags.
He hadn't gone far before he spotted two familiar figures saying goodbye beneath a Chinese parasol tree.
They were Rom and Colwin, who hadn't come back
