NORMAL POV. They stared at each other for a moment, and just like that Louis looked away with a sigh. 'Oh?' Raph thought, amused by his reaction as he walked up the steps to get to him. Some of the 2nd years were present, but their nonchalant reactions were a testament to their disinterest in the situation occurring in their classroom. It wasn't a difficult thing to imagine a 1st year going to a 2nd year class, especially if that person is a member of the Great Family. You might as well just give them face because of their reputation, and it's just a year difference. "You want me in your club? Mariam told me how you asked her as well" Louis said when Raph got to him. However, Louis gazed elsewhere as if he were staring at something entirely off this world. He had an odd habit of staring into space mid-conversation, especially when he wasn't interested. Despite his expression, Raph smiled, and took a seat next to him, observing Louis for a second only to conclude that he didn't mind. "You guessed right. I need you to convince Mariam as well". Louis remained silent for a while; then he slowly glanced at Raph, a vibrant red hue igniting behind his murderous eyes. "Then, you must have guessed my conditions if you want me in your club". Raph's smile widened. "Of course, but just to be clear, can you state those 'conditions'?". Most of what Louis wanted could be narrowed down to a few conditions, and Raph had more than just one of those conditions he had postulated in his head. Louis' gaze remained unperturbed, devoid of emotions, and the warmth that he once showcased with Mariam was gone, replaced by a cold, calculative nature that exuded from his demeanor. "Fight me, if you win then I'll join your club". 'Hah....typical' Raph thought, but this was within expectations. 'Most people would just settle things with violence, but at the moment, I really don't have that kind of time'. "Of course, but I won't be able to fight you now, and can I ask, why do you want to fight with me?" Louis raised a brow, confusion etched on his handsome face. "Why? Because you're strong....you defeated Jang Kang Lin. I want to know how by fighting you". He looked away. "And why can't it be now? I'm free, and you seem to be free as well". "...Well technically, I'm not free. I still need to get the form today, fill it up, and officially create my club. It's becoming a big deal with how much time I'm spending on it, but I would like to do this as fast as possible". Louis remained silent, his gaze staring into nothingness once again. It seemed like he was lost in thought, but one couldn't really tell. It was like he was sleeping with his eyes open, or meditating, and he could do this in any sort of environment. "...Louis?" Raph called, and the boy flinched, turning towards Raph. "...Oh, well. I don't think I would mind as long as you promise to fight me, but I don't think I'm enough to convince Mariam". Louis's eyes bulged open in shock, and his thoughts began to work in overdrive. 'How does he know about that? Impossible! That is a sacred ritual of the La Teur household, did he just guess it or say it with intent?' He could contemplate as long as he wanted to, but nothing would give him the conclusion he sought, so why bother to continue? "Fine...." Louis's lips curled upwards, and a murderous intensity began to exude from his body unconsciously, causing most of the 2nd years present to shiver and move away from the area of effect. "...Raffaelo Jun, you've gone and done it. Yes, I shall join your club". A small chuckle exuded from his lips as he stood up, the murderous intensity absorbed as quickly as it appeared. "Do what you must to make this club possible. I will convince Mariam, and help Jane in gathering the rest....I wish you success." He walked down the steps, leaving Raph to his line of thought. Raph watched him walk away, and a smirk grew on his lips. 'It's becoming a little bit more possible now, overthrowing the Kingdom...sounds like a fun idea indeed'. **** A few minutes later, Raph arrived at the Staff Quarters. A large building found between the Visiting Lounge and the 1st year L.T. It was just as magnificently built as the rest, and you could hardly notice any sign of human presence. Well, that was because it was a well-kept building, and the interior made it difficult for Lecturers to step outdoors. Looking up at the building, and strengthening his resolve, he walked up the series of stairs and opened the door that led in. On entering, he was immediately suffused in a temperature that nearly felt ethereal. And he began to unconsciously fade into a deep comfort. This was a result of the magical artifacts used here, and they were state-of-the-art magical tools that not only regulated the temperature but ensured the comfort of the people in the building. They were hard to come by and were directly manufactured by the Green Tower, the tower in charge of magical artifacts and engineering.

The open-plan office was segmented by glass dividers, creating cozy nooks for focused work. The building walls were made of see-through glass that added light and depth to the buzz and bliss of the working environment provided for the Lecturers. They weren't provided with individual offices, but these cubicles served that purpose perfectly well, and each provided the basic and required needs of their staff. With well-constructed tables, chairs, and other personal additions to their cubicles, it was made into a haven of productivity. Some of the cubicles were empty, but a lot more were occupied, while a few were locked. The Academy was well known for the best treatment of their staff after all, and this was a testament to the facilities of the Staff Quarters. Raph took a breath, basking in the comfort that suffused him like a haven. 'It's nearly comparable to that....NEARLY....' He thought as an image of Elsie's chest appeared in his head, causing him to cough back to reality. 'Okay, Okay, enough distractions. Let's get that club'.
