It was now the next morning as Lukas woke up from his side of the bed, luckily he got up really early as he could see Zaion still asleep in her bed. He got out of bed as quietly as he could, slowly getting dressed into his attire and he was extremely lucky as she wasn't awake still. He sighed in relief as he exited the room, deciding to head outside so long. Once he left the front entrance of the mansion, he stretched his arms, remembering a particular exercise routine that Zai gave him a while ago.

Lukas: "Stretch to ensure your limbs are still flexible... Do a couple of push-ups... Sit-ups... Then go for a little jog, which then I should be good to go."

Lukas nodded to himself as he did just that, doing at least a couple of push-ups to keep the arms useful as he then did a couple of sit-ups as well. After that, he then went for a jog around the mansion and within the mansion, doing it quietly so no one could notice. Once he was done, he was outside again, panting lightly as he was a little exhausted from the workout. 

???: "Doing a workout routine?"

Lukas was caught off guard a little bit as he thought he was the only one awake at the moment, as he turned around, he noticed it was Zaion who was already all dressed up for the day. 

Lukas: "Y-Yes..?"

Zaion: "I see. What exactly is your workout routine?"

She was coming off as a bit intimidating for Lukas as he gulped, trying to remain in a calm composure.

Lukas: "S-Stretching... Push-ups... Sit-ups... A little j-jog...?"

Zaion: "That it? Huh... That seems to be very little right?"

Lukas: "I... I'm still relatively new to f-fighting... So I think I..."

Zaion: "You're not if you're being trained by that monkey lad. So tell me, what happened months ago during our cancelled sparring session? That darkness in you?"

She was right in front of him now, arms crossed as she has every intent to get information out of him. 

Lukas: "I..."

He then sighs, figuring that he should just give up as he then turns around, walking away a little until coming to a halt as he then begins to explain.

Lukas: "I don't know... I have had it ever since that day, way before I joined the Academy... I have been doing everything I could to keep it under control and not let it out..."

Tears then began falling from his eyes as his past is very hard to accept.

Lukas: "I can't control it so I just try to keep it hidden... I messed up and now everyone probably thinks I'm dangerous..."

He then turns around, snapping.

Lukas: "WHY CAN'T I JUST RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFE!?"

Zaion was slightly taken aback from this as she wasn't expecting the timid shy Lukas to just snap. She could tell it was mostly due to mental stress or some built up anxiety that was kept in for so long. She could tell he was being genuine as well as he seemed to just realize what he did. He looked down in shame as he couldn't bare the embarrassment he felt.

Zaion then sighed as she walked up to him, simply kicking him in the gut as he was caught off guard. He fell to the ground, sitting up in pain and confusion. Though when he looked up at Zaion, he was scared entirely of her as she had an uneasy presence to her.

Zaion: "Listen here Misaki. We all have our dark pasts that we all don't like sharing. I ain't one for advice, but you better learn to keep your emotions in check if you are going to snap like that again, got it?"
