A few minutes later, Raph slowly stood up from the desk, arranging the papers in order. Jane and the others looked up from what they were doing towards him. "Monitor duties?" Jane asked, and Raph nodded in reply. He slowly turned back, only to widen his eyes in surprise. He had wanted to attempt asking Elsie to come off once again, but it seemed like there wasn't going to be any need for that. Elsie calmly and quietly slept with her head on his shoulder, her shallow breath sending soft ripples to his skin. He sighed deeply, turning towards the guys on the sofa. "Can you guys...." He said, but they were both aware of his predicament and were already on their way out of it. Raph smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you". He slowly dropped the papers on his desk, walked up to the Couch, sat on it, and calmly released Elsie. For a short moment, he found himself in a dilemma of either waking her up or leaving her behind, but knowing where he had to be soon, it was best he left her quietly. She was finally on the sofa, sleeping calmly with soft breaths, and Raph ultimately found himself staring at her face and plain expression. '....She's pretty when she sleeps as well'. He thought as he slowly stood up from the couch. "Watch over her, I'll be back to close the club room once I'm done with my task". Jane nodded while Darell clicked his tongue and looked away. Raph chuckled in reaction as he grabbed the papers and headed out. It was time for the meeting of the Prefects, where they share insights with one another and help the juniors in their time of need. Apparently, newly elected Monitors usually have this thing called a 'saving grace' of about a month. Raph never heard of this in his past life, but he did notice how easily it was to change a Class Monitor. All you needed was a Duel, and the winner became the New Monitor. Well, it's no surprise that the Academy would prefer the strongest in the class to lead it, so this law had been implemented. The challenger would have to go through a test to check if they can uphold the responsibilities that come with it. 'No matter, there's none of those students that can beat me to take my position anyway'. He thought, but then something crossed his mind that caused a smirk to form on his face. 'Oh, maybe I should have left Javier as the Class Monitor'. He walked down the stairs that led to the Lecture Halls and finally stopped in front of a familiar looking girl. "Alicia, are you ready?" He asked with a friendly smile as he walked ahead. She seemed innocent, and even friendly, but he wasn't blind, no in fact, he saw more than what others could, and he knew how she acted around the System users. A two faced bastard, is what they call them. '....Every single one of them'. **** Time passed and they had already crossed two more buildings that had similar structures to the others, and had just arrived at the last one. The biggest amongst the others and third most intricately architectured building in the Academy, the Fifth years Lecturer Theatre was in sight. Expectantly, they weren't the only ones in sight. Raph and Alicia came face to face with the Prefects of the other Classes of Year One. Year one Class Silver's prefects were Monica Starborne and Ruth Balsey. Monica Starborne was a Level 30 Astral Mage and Ruth Balsey, her best friend, was a Level 29 Shield Knight. The former was a petite girl with bright blue hair and blue eyes, and the latter was taller and a lot bigger with well curved proportions. She had fiery red hair and red eyes, and both stood together in the forecourt. 'These two are on the same level as Javier and his cohort' Raph thought as he welcomed their gazes with a friendly smile. "You're late, Jun" Ruth, said with a harsh and sharp tone, displeasure laced in her voice as she glared at him. Raph raised his arms in defense, a chuckle expecting his lips. "I apologize, I got held up by work". He said as they joined them. "By work, you mean planning your tyranny over your class?" Ruth asked with a raised brow. Her tone was laced with displeasure and so were her words. Monica slowly looked up to her friend. "Ruth" She called, and the fierce looming girl clicked her tongue, folding her arms and looking away. Monica slowly turned towards Raph after after, a wry smile on her face. "Sorry about that," She said. Raph shrugged his shoulders, his smile remaining fixed on his face. "I do not mind at all". "Of course you don't". Ruth said with a snarl, as she glanced at him. "Don't expect us to go easy on you like Javier did". 'Oh...what a pain' Raph thought, ignoring her comments and turning towards the two other figures that stood with them. "Mathias Shrew, Romeo Berto, It's been a while". The Class Monitor and Deputy of Class Bronze. Mathias Shrew with dark wavy hair and bright blue eyes, he exuded a brilliance and intelligence from his expression, which was amplified by his round glasses. He was a level 20 Mage. The boy slowly nodded in response, while his Deputy, Romeo Berto, with silver flowing hair and black eyes that did not seem to focus on reality, simply ignored. He was a level 24 Warrior. Raph sighed inwardly, turning his attention towards the door that led to the 5th year Lecturer Theater as a thought crossed his mind. 'What a pain'.
