Ah, living through an otome game really is the best. The visuals of the capture characters were really on another level. Rein's eyes had been blessed again today.

Prince Amadeus is quite... infamous among women, is what she thought at that moment. No, he is not a playboy or a womanizer. It's just a lot of women admire him. And she kind of sees why they would. He's the second prince of the kingdom and he's insanely talented with the piano, and basicaly other instrument out there that exists. Aside from his looks, he also has the Rosemond Family's fire magic. She sees all those shallow reasons why women would like him but....

"Heh. As if you have a chance with him." Sophia Glowpeak, one of the most notorious women in their year, suddenly sat next to the crying girl. Rein and Angel Chapelle were sitting behind them. It's not like she wanted to eavesdrop. It's just that they were within hearing distance and she heard exactly how Sophia Glowpeak gushed about the prince's prestige.

"He literally rejects everyone!" Sophia Glowpeak muttered exasperatedly. "Like, everyone. With a smile." Sophia even tried copying his smile.

"She got rejected, that's why she's bitter," Angel Chapelle whispered to her discreetly. "What she's saying is based from experience you know." She smirked, with a glint in her coal eyes. She had an air of victory as she said that. From what Rein heard, it seems as if Sophia Glowpeak and Angel Chapelle apparently do not get along. She could understand, Sophia had quite the difficult personality.

"Really?"

Angel nodded, the lowered her voice a bit more so that Sophia, who was sitting in front of them, would not hear. "She's an absolute menace during the initiation. She kept clinging to Prince Amadeus AND pissing off just about any magical creature that crosses paths with her." Angel shuddered, like she remembered a horrible memory. "She dreams of being a princess.. or something like that. How about you, how did your initiation go?"

"My brother and I teamed up with Andrew Skotadi and Elena Margavine," Rein remembered the moster freezing completely even under the scorching glare of the sun. She remembered staring wide-eyed at the two nobles, who easily defeated the monster without much effort. They're in a whole other league of their own. And their visuals were top notch. Elena was even prettier in real life! "And they're so cool! They could use magic without artifacts and Andrew Skotadi-"

The moment she said Andrew Skotadi, she noticed Angel's expression crumble. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she looked as if she ate something sour.

"- froze it instantly and Margavine zapped it. There were literal ice crystals in the air and the it became colder, in the desert!" Rein gushed. The high nobles were so fascinating with their command in magic.

"Margavine is cool. I don't know about Andrew Skotadi though." Angel began writing in her notebook again, in her perfect font. Perhaps as a noble, Angel had lessons before on Dragon Cypher. The girl had been a lifesaver for her in this subject.

Rein contemplated whether she should ask Angel Chapelle about Andrew, but she dropped the thought. Angel looked as if she didn't want to talk about it, and they weren't probably that close to ask. They're friends alright, but they were at the awkward phase of getting to know each other and testing each other's boundaries.

Angel Chapelle is one of the capture targets as well if the player is Luka Noir in Reverse Lovelorn. Rein didn't know much about her route since all the hype was in the Clara Skotadi route. But she's pretty sure if Luka picked another girl- Andrew and Angel would quietly get engaged around the end of third year or after graduating. Was it out of love or was it just a political arrangement?
