He knows that Remi has become a vigilante, again.

He's not stupid.

Spending less and less time with them, looking tired a lot of the time and the quite obvious side effects of her overusing her ability.

So, then why doesn't he confront her or at least report it?

Well, reporting would be stupid since he doesn't want Remi getting in trouble. And the confronting part is complicated.

Firstly, he doesn't have that much evidence other than her odd behavior. He also knows that no matter how much he'll try to stop her from being a vigilante she'll keep going. Whenever Remi is focused on something there is pretty much nothing that can be done to stop her.

...

This is so fucking frustrating. If only that son of a bitch didn't exist then they would all be fine, but noooooo dude had to choose this school, come here, get suspended, and then go missing.

He doesn't even understand why Remi even cares about John, he literally beat her to the brink of death. And technically speaking this is none of her business, especially if the Authorities are involved. Like she already has a problem of being an illegal vigilante, it's better to stay as low as possible so they won't find out. She's risking way too much for some student that technically was better to not come here in the first place.

He wishes that he got expelled instead, so that he wouldn't be a student here anymore and therefore Remi won't have this idea that she must help out since he's part of her Royal responsibility.

He huffed, shuffling slightly in his seat. Honestly he wanted to just take a nap.

"Dude, you alright?" A voice asked, and he looked up being met with Isen.

"I'm fucking fantastic."

Isen looked over at him and commented, "Doesn't look like it."

"Jeez, Isen have you ever heard of sarcasm?" He grumbled, Isen sighed and stayed silent.

He then decided to change the topic, "So, what's bothering you?"

"Remi and her fucking stupid ideas."

"Which are?"

"Well, she thinks she should go out, play hero, and help with the current John situation."

"John?" Isen asked, a look of slight worry coming over him. Isen was always like this when John was ever involved or mentioned, like lots of people here.

"Oh, you don't know?" He asked, confused as to how Isen (the guy that knew all the gossip) didn't know of this.

"Know what?" He asked, interested but also worried.

"John's missing," He whispered, not wanting for anyone around them to find out.

"Huh? Missing? Like went poof out of existence?" Isen asked, his journalist side coming through.

"Yeah, what else do you think I meant dumbass?" He grumbled, annoyed by the stupid questions. "Anyways, Remi as always wants to do something about it and she's been going out fighting to find him."

"Wait. Wait. You mean she's a vigilante again?" He asked, whispering the word 'vigilante'.

"Yeah."

"Blyke!" Isen shouted, perking other people's attention. He noticed and continued quieter, "Why haven't you stopped her already?"
