The train roared as it ran harshly on the tracks that were built on the bridge above a calm river dividing the city of Ratrin and the valleys of Jilu. The loud rods that swung along the wheels weren't heard inside the elegant red velvet cabinets outlined with metallic violet.

With people of all sorts chattering and clanking chinaware together, a group of teenage delinquents sat across from each other on a booth to the left of the cart. One had luscious blonde hair and chilly blue eyes, another with dark hair and candy pink eyes, while the other two sitting across were twins with strawberry blonde hair and ivy green eyes.

They chuckled as one twin popped a bottle of champagne, having the other one give a disappointing look before snatching the bottle and speaking out with an animated voice.

"Agh, we were supposed to save this for the party."

The other twin chuckled while licking his fingers as his brother shouted at him, rolling his eyes and replying with a more relaxed expression as he leaned back against the booth.

"It's fine, there's plenty of champagne at the party and more than likely better than that one. Besides, it's going to be a while till we go to that party-might as well have a drink on the way."

The one with dark hair and candy eyes sighed, soon snapping at them both as they started struggling over the bottle once one twin grasped onto it and kept on pulling.

"Can you stop with the child play? Before there's any partying tonight we have to sabotage that event at the Galoppi Hall and we have a squad of WODEs sitting in this very train."

The blonde boy laughed, grabbing the bottle of champagne and taking a swig while looking off to see a group of girls wearing samurai outfits, each holding household items and one staring at them.

"It's fine, we can handle a small group of girls."

It didn't take long for the boy to put his chin on the bottle while squinting at one girl with short brown hair, whispering in a sing-song tone as an echo in her mind. I see you.

The girl shook her head, turning over to the other girls who had been speaking to each other while the one next to her had a frying pan on the table that was magically heated up and frying noodles with vegetables.

"Give me your chopsticks."

The girl holding the frying pan stated, waving her chubby fingers at a pale girl with black hair in a bun.

"I'm not letting you use my wand as a utensil."

"But I'm hungry."

"Eat it with your goddamn hands, Tiph."

Tiph whined, putting her hair in a bun before grasping at the food with her hands. Within seconds, she regretted grabbing the food with her bare hands.

She immediately dropped the noodles, splashing the sauce slightly around her and having a girl with white hair and nocturne red eyes get aggravated.

As she was aggravated, see-through curtains appeared around them made-having her able to speak in a loud but stern manner.

"Can you for once not be hungry?"

"I can't help it, I'm nervous and we have a major mission. Especially with our new recruit by our side."

Tiph gave a swift glance at the girl with short chestnut hair sitting next to her who stayed quiet and rocked an umbrella lightly in front of her.

"Our recruit has more capability than you and that frying pan has brain cells."
