"We have a few contingencies in place, but I don't want anything bad happening to Eugene. Grandpa said only a few things can go wrong during the ritual." Claude shrugged his shoulders and got up from his seat. "Does the Student Council need something from me?"
"Not much. I came to give you an update… and ask if you want to meet the other candidates." She hummed, fishing her phone from her pocket as if feeling it vibrate.
