'Aria, I promise I'll find a chance for you and Shin to go on a date in exchange for this in the future'

I find a desolate enough place. In the halls to use Sylvie's Brooch

"Match"

•System•
-Sylvie's Brooch is now activated.
Time remaining : 30 minutes

I quickly went to the rooftop, remembering the path Cielo showed me during the tour.

I opened the door seeing no one other than myself

'I guess I didn't need to use the brooch yet. But it was better being safe than sorry'

I quickly scanned the area and found the hairpin on the floor.

'now let's go find Aria'

I tried remembering the way to the cafeteria and searched the crowd for Aria

'There'

I quickly went towarfs and and put the hairpin near her hand

Once I turned back, I was satisfied with what I heard

"ah, I think I forgot my hairpin at the rooftop" Aria said

"What? Aria, are you daydreaming about Shin again? Your hairpin's right there" her friend says

"What? It's not like that!" She argues while blushing

I gave her a thumbs up and said in my mind

'I'll definitely give you guys a date as long as you don't disrupt my plans'

I quickly went upstairs again hoping I can make it in time.

'I'm so tired...ugh, just a bit more. Why is this school so goddamn big???'

While going up i check my pocketwatch to see how much time I have left.

'I still have 15 minutes. Good.'

I arrived at my destination and hear to faint voices outside the door.

I slowly open it, trying my best not to make any sound.

Luckily none of them noticed because they were so focused glaring at each other and arguing.

I quickly hid in a corner of the rooftop.

'honestly, this rooftop looks more like park due to how big it is... This school looks like a frkn castle'

I couldn't listen too much to the conversation because I became really tired.

'No, I can't. I have to have courage right now cause I'm probably gonna get hit cause I'm not even Aria.'

"I fucking hate you Shin! You've always acted like you're better than me, and now you're hogging Aria to yourself??? You're shameless!" Glen said, pissed

"I'm sorry Glen, but when have I ever acted thay cold to you? You said so yourself that we're rivals in love. And Aria can do as she pleases."

Shin was calm saying this, but his eyes were as cold as Ice

'this is why you don't swear at the Ice Prince, Glen'

But this is quite different from the original. It was only after this scene that they became rival. But they already are?

Just then I sensed aura rising up.

They did use magic while fighting in the original, but this... feels like having killing intent
