"Phew, that's such a relief!"
"Right? I still can't believe the whole academy gets a two-week break just because of Class AB-1's accident!"
"But seriously, what are we supposed to do during that time?"
"I'm going home. Two weeks of sleep and free food sound perfect to me."
The cafeteria buzzed with laughter and casual talk, but one person sat apart from it all.
Gray rested his chin on his hand, staring blankly out the window. The sunlight reflected on the glass, outlining his distant expression.
He sighed softly, then glanced down at his untouched food… and the folded pamphlet lying beside his tray.
He picked it up, reading the colorful words at the top.
"The beach, huh?" he murmured.
The academy had apparently organized a "special relaxation event" because of the incident, two weeks of rest, games, and parties at a private beach.
[Oh? A beach trip? That means… girls in bikinis, doesn't it?]
Jasmine's teasing voice echoed in his mind.
Gray blinked once.
