Seraphina's POV

"O-Oh...? Like... How much..." She says nervously.

"Let's say enough to beat me, how about a 9," I say pointing towards her quickly laying my hand back down to the couch.

"...I-I don't know..." Evie says fiddling with her hands, she seemed like she was thinking hard, she was conflicted.

"Evie you don't have to think that hard," I say laying a hand on her shoulder. She sighs before nodding, giving up.

"Seraphina are you that frustrated with the whole situation with John...?" Evie asks looking at me with those eyes that make you want to protect her...

"Yeah, I guess..." I say I wish there was some way I could go back to my timeline or just restart this whole thing again... It seems to be the only easy way out...

...

John's POV

It was after school and a day has passed since I beat Remi, I continue to jog before spotting a bench, I decided to take a little break to drink some water. I run over before sitting down, I sigh before whipping off the sweat off my brow.

I start to drink some water right after putting the cap back on before noticing the same person who met with me that one day.

"What is it, Evie," I say...

I get reminded of our conversation back to chapter 24.

"I-I got something to tell... Well technically show... But please hear me out..." Evie said holding out her phone, with some sort of video on it.

She passes her phone before sitting beside me... it shows...

"Seraphina... What happened...!" Evie said in a worried manner.

"Evie... What's happening to me...?" I ask her, she says silently before responding.

"What...?" Evie said with little hesitation before adding "Happened...?"

"Evie... I think it's important for you to know that, John, the black-haired guy... Isn't a cripple and in my timeline was my best friend..." She began to explain everything, From her supposed timeline, as well as saying she was once a cripple.

"I seem so... I don't know..." She shifts around where she stands not being comfortable about her knowing all this.

"...Seraphina... I understand... Sometimes I wish to have the power to fight back but... I just can't... It's so frustrating, but we just have to get used to it... It's probably a natural response..." 

It continued on and on for about 4 minutes more before it ended...

It seems so truthful, but at the same thing, this could all be staged!

"C-Could you at least try to make up with Seraphina...?" She asks...

...

The memory ended as I was brought back to reality reminding me of that talk.

"I-I heard you were a low-tier once recently..." She says reminding me of my beatings back then... I look away from her before responding.

"Yeah..." I say leaning forward on the bench.

"J-John I understand your frustration... B-but please restrain yourself...! Y-you're hurting so many people... You're scaring so many people... A-all I wished f-for was f-for y-you a-and S-Seraphina t-to make u-up... But now you look like you're about to beat her up..." She says I look at her by the corner of my eye to see her shaking...

Are people really that scared of me? From being some cocky bastards to kneeling down for mercy...

Two-faced pieces of shit-

"I- I'm a low tier too..." She says I glare at her making her shiver, even more, she sits down on the bench beside me gripping her skirt.

"S-Seraphina is so stressed from this..." She says gripping even tighter.

I sigh...

"Look, I'll think about stopping," I said patting her back making her widen her eyes...

"R-Really?" Evie says turning to me excitedly, I nod... But too bad... I won't stop... I have already started, I can't stop now perhaps I could ignore the fight with Seraphina... But no matter what the choice has been made...

Tomorrow... Arlo, you're next.

I grind my teeth just from thinking about him. But at the same time, I fill with excitement wanting to kick his ass more and more.

Seraphina's POV

I walk through the walls hugging my books... Today It's time for judgment day... The king is about to go down with a bang, the battle for the crown is going to begin today or tomorrow... No matter what Arlo is losing the crown...

John's POV

I run through the halls looking for Cecile before finally bumping into her, literally, she dropped a few books. She doesn't do anything but stare at her books, before looking up at me and stares at me awkwardly.

"O-Okay?" I said going down to the floor picking up the books, I rise up passing them to her.

"Alright, I thought you wouldn't need me for this part?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"You're right... But I need one thing out of you  for the fight with Arlo." I say shoving my hands in my pockets.

"And what will that be?" Cecile asks holding her books to her side.

I grin before saying "You're ability"
