"You don't look surprised at all. Has something like this happened before?"
"Yeah, last year. There was a younger guy who had a crush on Agares. He blurted it out in class one day, and the whole school heard about it. Normally, this kind of thing isn't an issue—lots of people crush on Agares but get over it once they see how cold he can be," Silas explained.
