Path To Liberation, Reunion (Chap 33)

Synopsis: Six months have passed, with everyone returning to their daily lives. Unfortunately, chaos struck once again as...

In a dark room, there is a desk with a computer and some documents on the table. An unknown silhouette enters and grabs the documents. The documents reveal to be photos of a few familiar people. It tosses them on the ground before sticking them with knives.

???: Revenge will be mine.

Anime Opening: Black & White.

A bright morning appears above the school, from the school's foyer to the hallways to an English Class. Ms. Lydia is talking about Shakespeare while everyone else is taking down notes as they listen to the lecture, including Hou himself.

Ms Lydia: So, as we all observe right here, you can see that this part of the book includes a dramatic cliche. The emotion of the scenario is...

After a few minutes, the bell rings, and it's lunchtime.

Ms. Lydia: Okay, everyone, we'll continue tomorrow. For Now, Have A Nice Lunch Break.

At the Cafeteria, Gwen and her friends sit at a table with their lunch.

Gwen: (Exhausted) Ugh...I thought there was no ending to that lecture. Thank gosh we can finally eat. (Opens her Lunchbox and reveals her gourmet lunch, Lemon and blue cheese pasta)

Natalie: Whoa, that looks good.

James: Pfft...That's nothing compared to my lunch. (Opens his lunchbox and reveals some Aglio Olio. Takes a bite and.....) SPICYYYYYY.

Masato: (smug) I went ahead and added some more.

James: (Angry as his face went red) Masato...

Later, James notices Hou Ren sitting in front of them, about to take his lunch. He puts on his earphones and listens to some music on his phone. They sit beside him.

Masato: Mind if we join you?

Hou Ren: Uh, not at all. Go ahead.

Gwen: What are you listening to?

Hou Ren: Just a new song.... (slowly becomes down) from a certain someone.

Daryl: (checks the song, realizes) Oh...yes...

Hou Ren: Yeah...I miss her...

Gwen: It's okay. You know...you did it. You wanted a girlfriend, and you got it.

Hou Ren: You jealous?

Gwen: Ack...Me? No way.

Everyone watches Gwen in a suspicious, closed-eyed manner. Gwen, in return, reacts really awkwardly before blushing in embarrassment while looking down.

Gwen: Okay, maybe a little.

Masato: You know, bro. It's really great to have you back.

Hou Ren: Thanks. Though it still feels like yesterday after what happened.

A flashback was shown regarding what happened 6 months ago. In the middle of the sky, an airship is flying. Inside, Everyone is having a conversation.

Hou Ren: You sure Ms Pauline is willing to accept me back?

Daryl: She didn't remove your name, so.....

Gwen: Though now you mentioned it, things went downhill after you left....

Light: Most of the students found out about the incident and left the school.
