11:00 PM : Late Night – Gymnasium C
Saya and Scott slipped through the academy grounds like shadows, every creaking window or flickering dorm light sending them into silence, hearts pounding.
They couldn't afford to be followed — not tonight.
Mina wasn't with them, of course. With the kind of power she had, Dante said she didn't need the same kind of training.
Still, her absence felt... off. Like they were missing a limb.
The gymnasium doors groaned open with the wind, then slammed shut behind them in a single loud sound.
The echo rolled through the empty space.
Standing dead center in the gym, arms folded, tracksuit zipped up, eyes cold and unreadable — was Dante.
— "Welcome to the Meditation Club."
Beside him stood a girl with glowing violet eyes and a long black braid. Giana — the infamous "witch" of the academy.
Saya gulped. Scott froze.
— "Oh crap," Scott whispered. "That's her."
