Wellston - 06.08.20XX

At a stop at the city's train station, the crew of John, Remi, Isen, and Elaine were waiting for the train to go to the Turf War field.

John was trying to pass the time with his phone on one side, Remi and Isen were chatting on the other, and Elaine was sitting far away from the others, doing nothing.

"When will this train arrive? I'm tired of waiting." Isen struck out his boredom.

"Calm down, the train is coming soon." Remi tried to calm her friend

After waiting for a while, the train finally came and these four got on the train.

On the train, John was standing, Remi and Isen sitting side by side, while Elaine was sitting directly across from Remi and Isen, near where John was standing.

From time to time, John would look at the others to check how things were going. During this check, he noticed that Eliane was looking at her phone often and putting it back in her pocket.

"Is there a problem?" John asked Eliane

"N-no, it's okay." Elaine replied with some startling at John's sudden question.

"Are you sure? You haven't been very comfortable since we got on the train." John asked

"Actually, there's a problem, Arlo. I've been texting her since the beginning of last holiday, but I don't even get a read receipt. It's the same with Seraphina. They've both been ignoring me since the beginning of last holiday. Do you know anything, John?" Elaine asked

"I don't know either. I've been trying to reach Sera but can't get a response. I guess we're both in the same situation." John half lied. He had tried to reach Seraphina since the beginning of the last holiday but had failed.

"There's nothing we can do. Even when Arlo was in school, he constantly ignored me and not talked to me except about healing issues. I think it's time to let him go." Elaine complained about the situation

"I guess it's time for me to give up on Sera too..." John thought aloud


The train journey had finally come to an end and the Wellston crew had reached the Turf War area.

When Wellston's crew reached the field, they saw four Agwin students before them. Elaine knew only one of these people, Gou, Agwin's old Jack and the new King. Broven and Rein had graduated at the end of last semester.

"Welcome, you're finally here, even if you're a little late. I am Gou, King of Agwin. These include our Queen Medaline, our Jack Marlon, and our healer Brumm. Nice to meet you." Gou saluted a sarcastic incoming

"Welcome, I'm King John of Wellston, including Remi our Queen, Isen our Jack, and Eliane our healer. Nice to meet you too." John introduced his team

"Well, what about the rules? 1v1 or 3v3? It doesn't matter though, you can't beat us anymore unless you have people like Arlo or Seraphina among you." Gou asked sarcastically

John was a little triggered by what Gou had said. He couldn't stand to be seen as inferior to Arlo.

"We've already lost too much time getting here, let's get 3v3. Let's get this over with now." John said

"Okay then let's get started. Get ready." Gou gave the starting signal

"You guys stay back, I'll take care of this. I have to teach this guy a lesson." John walked slowly towards the 3 Agwin disciples, who were running towards him slightly irritated.
