"Alright, everyone, that was the lesson for today. Please remember what I've mentioned. Among all the elements, the fire element was the hardest to control. Some of you may bear with it. Some of you don't. So please take good precaution while you practice it, is that clear?"

Everyone in the class nodded their head and took a bow as their homeroom teacher took his leave from the classroom. The three-hour study session concluded after Rin persuaded Cynthia to return to their classroom.

Children in this rebooted world don't divide the education level by age. Instead, the class split up corresponding to their magic adaptation and capability of handling their 'persona' talent. Rin and Cynthia were in third grade right after enrolling two years ago. The ability of adaptation shown by both sisters caught everyone's attention where everyone took them not as a mere demi-god but more like a true goddess.

Rin has fair skin with a presentable look, a sharp face with a big brownish pupil eye, her hair reaches to her shoulder while colored in dark brown color.

Cynthia has a face and a body figure that could captivate every male student in her school, granting her a title as the belle of the school. Her dark Asian-colored hair length up to her waist and fair tanned skin resembles Rin's sharp face. She looks nothing but a goddess who just descended from heaven with the color of sierra's blue pupil.

Rin took a peek over the table where Cynthia sat. She had a dull, and disappointment drew all around her face when she couldn't see her whereabouts as the class slowly dismissed. Her thought waivered, as she reminded herself a few hours ago before both of them returned to their classroom---

"Why don't you stay at my house tonight? As in return, I promise to get you the best meal in town," Rin said, persuading Cynthia to stay at her house tonight to guide her for the coming week's assignment.

"Quit your scheming, you cheeky little brat. I already know what's on your mind. I've vanished from your mother's sight five days ago while wandering around the town if I remember correctly. Is she worried?" Cynthia asked, knowing her little sister might be worried about her condition since the day she avoided herself from them.

"She took herself like your real mother. What do you think?" Rin replied, accompanied by her bitter smile.

She couldn't do anything except pull a sigh of disheartened. Her mind dived into a scary thought, ditched herself from the crowdy classmate who's busy packing their stuff into their bag. Soon began to think about what Cynthia possibly could do when it was just a few hours away before dusk. Where could she go at this hour? Why does she try so hard to keep everything to herself without telling everyone?

"That was such a creepy stare. Jessica, does all the prodigy always act like this?"

A sarcastic statement took Rin back to reality, as her eyes just made a slight gazing toward the girl who passed by their seat.

"Mine your own business, Thalia. Let's go..."

Jessica and Thalia. Yes, they are members of the class. To be precise, they are rivals. Jealousy sparked even in this modern society, as it was a natural reaction for any girl when they couldn't even compete in a competition they'd already lost. It was a sight for sore eyes for sharing the same class with Rin and Cynthia.

Before Rin realizes it, the classroom is emptied and filled with a howl of the slow wind in this late sunset. She slowly pushes her book into the bag and lifts her belonging. Walk away ponderously, she decided to head home and inform her mother that Cynthia couldn't make it again tonight.

"I don't promise I will come back on time after school. I had some other place to go, and I hope your mother won't mind. I promise I will reach home before dark, alright?" Cynthia stated her demand before they headed back to their classroom.

"Hmm, suspicious... Going for a date? With a boy? Who is that? Do I know him?" Rin speaks out loud like a spoiled brat. Cynthia couldn't hold her laugh and burst it out while watching Rin act her way like a little child.

"No, I didn't have any interest in that kind of stuff. Anyway, right now, if you want me to come back with you to our class, promise me one more thing."

"What's that?" Rin asked as she got curious since Cynthia seldom asks for a favor.

Rin can't stop thinking with the only uneasy feelings in her mind. What was she trying to do during this late evening? What was she trying to hide? It was weird. No matter how Cynthia attempted to avoid them, this time, she had an uncanny behavior as if her dark 'persona' came back haunting her.
