The day after his meeting with William, Rose and Ms. Clark, he was on his second day back to his class. They continued their studies so they could eventually take the D rank exam, just like any other time Ms. Florence doesn't teach in the class.

"So, what's the plan?," Thomas asked, after class ended. "Are we going back to training like we used to?"

"Wasn't Allen training with the student council president?," Cecily asked, half paying attention, trying to finish up what she was reading in her book.

"Well yeah I was, but only for the duration of the month I had until my duel with Nathaniel," Allen explained. "I'm up for the training like we used to do"

"Wait, really?," Thomas' eyes seemed to be beaming with light.

"Well yeah, of course. It's been awhile since we all have trained together," Allen said, grinning.

"Yes, let's go!," Thomas suddenly got out of his chair, almost jumping with excitement.

"I don't know what's getting you so excited, it's just training," Cecily said, sighing. Although, she was smiling a little bit.

"Well, it's because it's always fun when you train with all of your friends," Thomas said after pausing from his 'jumping' session.

"You're still interested in that rematch, right?," Allen asked, getting out of his chair and stretching.

"Oh no," Cecily sighed, closing her book.

"Rematch?," Thomas was confused for a moment. "Oh yeah! We need that rematch, Allen!"

"Well then, if you're up for it, then we'll have that rematch for our first day back from training," Allen said while grinning.

"You're on!," Thomas responded, grinning back.

"We're in for it now," Cecily mumbled.

Not long after their conversation, they began to head over to the training grounds. Since Allen's training with Rose was finished, they no longer trained together in the special training room where they could train without being bothered by any other students.

However, after the training was finished, Rose let Allen borrow a key to the training grounds, saying it was fine if he continued to use it with him and his friends. She explained how the training grounds were never used unless a duel was going on or for the preliminary rounds of the tournament, so it would be fine if Allen continued to use it. They even got the okay to do so from William.

"So, these are the training grounds you and Rose used, right?," Thomas asked, while they walked the quiet halls of the academy a bit after classes ended.

"Yep," Allen responded. "She said we are still allowed to use them. Even William said it was alright"

"The director too? Geez, he almost lets you do anything. Wish I knew him like you," Thomas sighed.

"Just be glad we can use the training grounds," Cecily remarked.

"But, Cecily!," Thomas exclaimed. The three of them then laughed afterward.

"Here it is," Allen said as they arrived at the training grounds, near the back of the academy. They finally reached the door at the end of the hallway, which was locked. However, Allen had the key and unlocked the door.

"Woah, so this is the training grounds you and Rose used?," Thomas exclaimed as he looked all around the room.

"Thomas, we were here just a week ago," Cecily sighed.

"Wait, we were?," Thomas asked, confused. "Wait..."

"This is the same place where Allen and Nathaniel had their duel," Cecily explained. "Although, we were in the stands above"
