The classroom buzzed with the usual morning chatter, punctuated by the occasional burst of laughter. Aebelle, her head resting heavily on her desk, barely registered the commotion. She'd been late to class, a throbbing headache clinging to her like a shadow.

Issei, his usual boisterous self, had a concerned frown etched across his face. He leaned over her desk, his voice a hushed whisper. 'Hey, you feeling alright?'

Aebelle lifted her head, her brow furrowed in confusion. 'Nope...' she mumbled, her voice hoarse.

'Hope you don't mind if I speak about what happened yesterday...' Issei said, his voice laced with an undercurrent of unease.

Aebelle shook her head slowly, her eyes still glazed over. 'What happened?'

Issei leaned closer, eyes widening. 'You... you remember Yuuma? The girl who threw that spear at us?'

Aebelle blinked, her expression brightening momentarily. 'You... remembered... Y-Yeah, I remember.'

Issei's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it. Aebelle was the only one who remembered the attack. He glanced at Matsuda and Motohama, who were busy chatting about something else, oblivious to the exchange.

Suddenly, Rias stood in the doorway, her presence filling the classroom with a quiet authority. She surveyed the room, her gaze settling on Aebelle and Issei. It was a silent, lingering look, her eyes holding a depth that made Issei's heart skip a beat.

'She's as wonderful as always,' a chorus of female voices chimed in.

Rias smiled warmly at the two of them before turning and walking away. The classroom erupted in a flurry of whispers about her beauty and grace.

'She's so beautiful!' Matsuda enthused, his voice dripping with admiration

'Yeah, that air of refinement, which makes her seem unapproachable, is just amazing!' Motohama added, his eyes gleaming with a suggestive twinkle.
