"I apologize." The room was dead silent. Everyone watched as Celestia gave a bow to (y/n), who was shocked as much as everyone else. "What are you apologizing for, Ludenberg?" His voice was rather quiet, his throat feeling like a desert. He was barely able to form a sentence.

"For being so hateful towards you. Naegi and Kirigiri told me that you were looking sad. If I am at fault for such feelings of yours, I would like to apologize." Her words caught their classmates by surprise. Celestia wasn't the type of person to loose any form of conflict.

"I... Well, I can't deny that I wasn't frustrated about the small fight we had going on. Thank you, for apologizing to me, but..." The Ultimate Gambler, stared at him. "But what? Is there something you don't like about my apology?" (Y/n)'s eyes widened. "Of course not, don't worry!"

"Then what is it?" The black haired female seemed to be genuinely confused, tilting her head to the side gently. "You aren't the one that has to apologize." He slowly kneeled down on the floor, giving her a deep bow of respect. "Ludenberg, please forgive me for back then."

"Forgive you...? For back then...?" The words quietly left her lips as her face grew pale. Silence spread all over the classroom. "Yes... What I did was unacceptable behavior. To be honest, I don't even know why I helped that man. It is up to you, I won't force you to accept my apology."

A few more seconds passed until Celestia was able to calm herself down again. "I agree that what you did was wrong. And I do appreciate the fact that you aren't pushing me to forgive you. I think we should stay on neutral terms from now on."

(Y/n)'s lips opened, letting a sigh of relief escape. "Thank you for your generosity, Ludenberg." Slowly, he stood up again, dusting off his clothing. "Don't mention it. I should take my leave now." She looked at their classmates. "Also, don't all of you have something better do?"

The many pairs of eyes quickly focused on something else in the room. They were glad that the two acquaintances were finally being nice to each other. Now they wouldn't have to suffer from an unbearable atmosphere, at least for the time being. The (h/c) haired male could finally relax as well.

"I'm glad that it's finally over." Naegi let his tense shoulders slump down as soon as the Ultimate Gambler had left the room. "Yes, I'm quite relieved myself. The air was getting too thick to breathe." Kirigiri nodded, looking at the male next to her.

"I'm glad too!" Aoi smiled happily, practically beaming from happiness. "I was so sad that we couldn't hang out without one of them or even both being disappointed! Now we can do lots of fun things together!" Her positivity immediately lit up the whole room, easing up the atmosphere and mood.

"Yes, I agree. You were in a really bad mood for some time because of it." Sakura crossed her arms, leaning back in her seat. "Yeah, it was f-cking awkward and annoying." The Ultimate Biker gave a quiet growl, earning a slight glare from his friend, the Ultimate Moral Compass.

"Swear words are not welcomed in a school environment!" He earned a small huff in return. "Man, I'm gonna cuss as much as I want. F-ck this sh-t!" The room erupted into laughter while Ishimaru angrily tried to make his friend shut up. Everything was back to normal.
