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."

Asa sat quietly at her desk, pretending to focus on her notes, but she could hear the whispers around her. Students were sneaking glances, muttering under their breath.

"Did you see what she did earlier?" one whispered.
"Yeah, she nearly killed the teacher with that spear," another said in a hushed tone.
"She’s gotta be dangerous… what if she loses control again?"

Asa sighed, gripping her pencil tightly. She had already finished her assignments, yet she couldn't escape the stares or the murmurs. She wanted to ignore them, but Yoru wasn’t one to let things slide.

"Tch. These idiots have nothing better to do than gossip like scared little rats," Yoru sneered in Asa’s mind. "If they’re so scared of you, why not give them a real reason to be?"

"Yoru, no," Asa thought back firmly. "We're not making this worse."

"Hah. Fine. But if one of them so much as looks at you the wrong way, I’m throwing something again."

Asa just sighed again, lowering her head, trying to block out the noise.

Asa walked out of the classroom, adjusting her bag strap while avoiding eye contact with her classmates. She was relieved to finally be out of there.

"Ugh, finally," Yoru groaned. "If I had to listen to those weaklings whispering any longer, I would’ve shoved a textbook down someone’s throat."

Asa rolled her eyes but didn’t comment, making her way down the stairs toward the meeting spot. When she arrived, she saw Sooyoung and Vextra waiting.

She let out a small sigh and gave a tired nod. "Yeah… I’m just glad it’s over," she muttered, still feeling the weight of all the unwanted attention.

Yoru crossed her arms, floating slightly beside her. "Let’s hope the next class isn’t as stupid as that one," she huffed.

Asa sighed, glancing at Yoru, who still looked irritated. "She’s just mad about the rumors and the whispers," Asa muttered. "She hates being talked about like some kind of freak."

"Because I’m not a freak," Yoru snapped, crossing her arms. "And neither are you. They’re just pathetic."

Asa shook her head, rubbing the back of her neck. "It’s nothing new. People always stare when something’s different." She tried to sound indifferent, but the way she avoided eye contact gave away her discomfort.

She shifted on her feet. "Anyway, what’s our next class?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

Asa nodded, adjusting her bag as she followed along. “Yeah, I guess it’s good we have the same class,” she said, though she still felt uneasy from all the stares earlier.

Yoru scoffed. “They act like cowards, whispering instead of saying things to our faces. It’s pathetic.”

Asa sighed. “Let’s just focus on class. PE can’t be that bad… right?” She wasn’t exactly athletic, but at least it would be a distraction.

She walked beside Sooyoung and Vextra as they headed toward the gym, trying to shake off the tension
