Sometime after Simon was knocked out he found Lucia and Kaelis both hugging him, the two notice Simon waking up and they greet him
"Morning Simon"
Said Lucia smiling at Simon' staring at his face taking every detail of it
"Good morning!"
Said Kaelis who seemed hyper after being filled with adrenaline due to the exam that he had taken
Simon still felt groggy and asked some questions about some things after he was knocked out
"For how long was I knocked out? What happened to Kaelen after I was knocked out?"
Lucia smiled at Simon spacing out as she hugged him, Kaelis pushed Lucia back and forth to snap her back, and after some moments she woke up again and asked
"Wait what?"
Simon sighed before asking what he said earlier
"So, for how long was I knocked out? And what happened to Kaelen after I was knocked out"
Lucia remembered what Kaelen said to Simon after he was knocked out and she pinched Simon's cheek
"Hey, answer me!"
Lucia laughed to herself before responding to Simon
"Well you slept through the whole day, you slept like a baby to be honest, it was pretty cute, but Kaelen was also knocked out just moments after knocking you out he didn't even wake up there had to be paramedics taking him, they checked you too but you surprisingly recovered quickly, are you even human?"
Lucia thought as if she had forgotten something and before Simon could say anything to Kaelis she interrupted
"Oh right! Kaelen said to forget your deal, the crowd was too noisy so they probably didn't even notice him speaking"
Simon looked concerned before asking something to Lucia
"Uhm, aren't you or any students hurt? Because of our duel, if you weren't, how?"
Lucia's cheeks turned crimson red noticing Simon's concern
"Well there was actually a magic circle making a barrier, you two are actually powerful since the barrier almost broke at the climax of your battle, there had to be mages from the magic division of the school just to hold down the barrier so it won't break"
Lucia was trying to remember more details and she recalled some more details after Simon' was knocked out
"Well as I said you slept through the whole day, and shortly after you were knocked out Kaelen was also knocked out after you shocked the crowd of students not only that, he said that you two should have a duel again just before he was knocked out but the crowd of students didn't here that cause it became a jungle screaming and dueling after you two were knocked out"
Simon pats Lucia's head and comes close to her as if he is going to kiss her but Lucia becomes flustered and pushes him away screaming at him
"Hey! What was that for! You can't just go randomly kissing people!"
Simon waved his head gesturing no and shouted back before wiping some dirt and debris from her face
"I wasn't! There was dirt and debris on your face!"
Simon sighed and Lucia punched him playfully but he ignored it before turning to Kaelis and asking how his day
"How was your day, Kaelis? Was it fun?"
Kaelis cutely smiles at Simon and he hugs Simon before answering him
"It was! And I'm in the same class as you! Apparently, I have to pick my job route so I picked mechanist"
Simon nodded at Kaelis and stood up, he held Kaelis up, he asked both of them
"Are you ready to go home, Kaelis? Oh, and Lucia, you can stop hugging me now, but do you wanna tag along with us to the Velthorne mansion?"
Lucia pouts at him not wanting to answer him but in just a few moments she answers Simon
"No, I'm going to train after seeing your battle I really need to train if I want to defeat you"
Simon nodded and said goodbye to Lucia
"Oh alright then, goodbye see you tomorrow Darling"
Lucia heard Simon teasing her so she shouted at him and playfully hit him
"Ahhhh! Shut up!"
Her cheeks were burning up with red, and she kept hitting him; after a while of walking to the exit, Lucia stopped and left Simon.
At the exit, Simon saw Selene waiting for the two of them. Selene walked up to him took Kaelis and put him in the car before going back to Simon and hitting him on the head with the palm of her hand
"Hel- ow! What was that for!"
Simon shouts at her and she raises her hand as if hitting him again but she stops just scaring Simon, then she sighs dramatically before asking about earlier
"I heard you got in a fight? 2 to be exact care to explain?"
Simon stuck his tongue out before running away because Selene was going to use Simon's staff as a club
"Come back here, you brat!"
After a while of running Simon breathed heavily before explaining why he got into a fight
"So it's because this Son of a bitch called you a whore so I beat him up, and the second time was a duel I was challenged to so of course I accepted it"
Selene sighed heavily looking at Simon and slapped him on the face before looking pissed and steaming with anger before she pouts acting bratty
"Then you should've let me handle it, do you know what I could've done? I had a reason to destroy that clan; sadly, cause of you letting him off the hook, it's gone. Hmph!"
Simon shudders with fear imagining what Selene would've done to the poor soul if he hadn't let off the hook
Selene sighs before dragging Simon back to the car
"Let's go home you and Kaelis have a big day tomorrow."
In the car, Simon wonders to himself what Kaelen meant and what he was lacking in ways as he forgot what Kaelen said exactly
"So what am I lacking? Why did I lose? In what way am I insufficient?"
