Chloe quickly entered the quiet room behind Ember, let out a long sigh, and said, “That was quite stressful. I never thought I would find myself in a room with all these people I've only heard about but never met. They all have quite the attitude, especially Kenji. Who does he think he is, acting like he owns this place? I really want to teach him a lesson. What do you think, Ember?”

Ember sat in a beautifully carved chair, took a sip of the milk tea she had made while Chloe was talking, and replied with a clear voice, “It’s alright. Leave him alone for now. As for the others, you can think of it this way: we are essentially of the same status, whether in talent or background. They are equal to us, so their attitude is normal. Don’t be anxious—just sit down.”

After listening to Ember, Chloe sat down opposite her. Ember didn’t look at her; she quietly poured another cup of tea and handed it to Chloe, saying, “Here, try this and calm your nerves.”

Chloe thanked her with a smile and said, “But Ember, I am worried. This has never happened in the school's history. We always have different classes for students in the same grade, depending on their background or talent. Our relationships within our circles are always tense, so to avoid unnecessary issues, we keep our distance. Now, they are putting us together.” She paused, took another sip of her milk tea, and continued, “And the living arrangements— we have always lived alone, and now we have to share rooms with who knows who. I really dislike it. I just hope we can be together.” She said this with a hopeful expression towards Ember, who was still in the middle of drinking her tea.
