Yoru glanced away, trying to hide the faint smile creeping up on her face. "Don't get all sappy on me," she grumbled, though her tone was softer than usual. "Just don't make it a habit."

She glanced at Sooyoung, her eyes softening just a bit more. "But yeah, you're welcome. Don't get used to it, though."

There was a brief silence, but it was comfortable—a rare moment of understanding.

Yoru smiled softly and nodded. "Alright, see you later." Yoru walked beside Asa as they made their way to the next class. "So, what do you think about this school so far?" she asked, glancing at Asa with a smirk. "I know it’s not perfect, but it seems like you’re making progress."

Yoru’s usual tough exterior softened a little as she walked with Asa. "You and Sooyoung have a good bond. It’s nice to see," she added with a quiet, sincere tone, keeping pace with her.

As Asa and Yoru entered the classroom, a noticeable shift occurred. Whispers buzzed around the room as the other students stared at Asa, some with wide eyes and others with intrigued expressions. The incident earlier had clearly spread fast.

"Did you hear? She really had that pencil turn into a spear and threw it at the teacher!" one student whispered to another, trying to keep it quiet but failing.

As Asa made her way to her seat, a few students couldn't help but glance over, still talking about what had happened. Some of them were clearly nervous, while others seemed fascinated by the power Asa had shown, especially with Yoru inside her.

Yoru, sensing the eyes on them, shot a glare at a group of students who were staring a bit too intently. "What? Never seen someone with a little power before?" she asked, her tone sharp but not quite as aggressive as usual. It was clear she didn't want any more attention than necessary.

Asa kept her head down, trying to ignore the whispers and stares. "I... I didn’t mean to... cause such a scene," she mumbled, though the words barely escaped her lips. "I just wanted to make it through the day..."

As Asa focused on her notes, the murmurs of her classmates filled the room. She could hear bits and pieces of their conversations, some more obvious than others.

"Hey, have you seen Asa today?" one student whispered to another, her tone quiet but curious.

"Yeah, she’s always so quiet," another replied, glancing at Asa. "Like, it’s like she’s in her own little world all the time. I don’t get how she can focus so much."

"I don’t know. It’s kind of impressive," a third chimed in, half-laughing. "I’d be freaking out in a class like this, but she just sits there like she’s got it all figured out."

Another student, who hadn’t been part of the conversation, suddenly spoke up. "It’s creepy how she never talks to anyone. Do you think she’s a loner or something?"

The first student shrugged. "Maybe, but she’s not that weird. I think she just doesn’t care about all the drama. She seems... focused, you know?"

A few chuckles went around the room, but the conversation didn’t die. One girl sighed and whispered to her friend, "I kind of wish I could be like her—so calm and collected all the time. Maybe I could actually get some studying done."

"Yeah, right," the other student laughed. "Asa seems to have mastered the art of not caring. Imagine living like that."

The two girls immediately froze when they heard Sooyoung’s voice, their laughter dying in an instant. The girl who had made the comment about the “freak” looking monster quickly looked down at her desk, her face turning a little pale. Her friend nervously chuckled, trying to brush off the tension, but she could clearly see that Sooyoung wasn’t joking.

"So-so sorry, we didn't mean it," the first girl stammered, avoiding Sooyoung’s gaze. "We were just joking around."

The second girl nodded quickly, her face flushing with embarrassment. "Yeah, totally. We didn't think—uh, we didn’t think it was a big deal."
