Raph especially found Sophie amusing with each passing second. He wasn't too sure what it seemed that made her stand out, but other than her dark mana and misinformed status, there seemed to be something else. 'I'll find out all about it in the end'. He thought as a soft sigh escaped his lips. "Were you upset about the Rooster?" "Huh? No, not really. I'm a skilled warrior, you don't need to worry about my fighting skills too much". "Well, unfortunately, I need to worry about everyone's skills in that class other than the Great Families". Sophie scoffed, her gaze flickering with a malevolent lilac for just a moment. "Oh please, the Great families aren't all that". Raph halted, a smirk spread across his face as their gazes locked on one another. "Care to prove it?" A tense silence ensued between them for a few seconds, time ticking ever so slowly as students walked by them. Raph flinched, his gaze flickering for a moment. 'What was that? Blood lust?' As their gazes were locked on one another, their inner thoughts seemed to have seeped out from their body. Raph had an easy time controlling what he really wished to do, but that wasn't the same as Sophie. Sophie seemed to have exuded a dark mast of fumes around her, her lilac gaze glowing ever so slightly with the intensity of her thoughts. It was for a moment, but Raph could have sworn he saw her smirk, but all of that was subtly erased by her smile in the next second. "Oh please, Raffaelo, you're the son of the Jun household. I wouldn't stand a chance". Raph remained silent for a moment, his gaze stern and unperturbed, when a sigh escaped his lips, and he walked forward. "Let's go then" He commented. "And it's Raph, Sophie". Sophie remained motionless as well, a heavy sigh escaping their lips as she walked after him. "As you've said". They got to the Second Year Class as they wished, and went through the crowd of visitors lingering about. It seemed like one of the Classes had made a food stand, as luxurious cold treats and pastries were being served in the hallway. The number of visitors was in the double digits, with some holding pastries, cold beverages, ice creams, and even balloon toys. "Do they have the mind of a child or something?" Raph muttered after entering the building. His gaze first landed on some second years, blowing up balloons and shaping them into creatures you wouldn't normally be able to use a balloon to create. It was a buoyant vibe, mainly focused on pleasing parents and their kids rather than actual youths like themselves. "This is...rather interesting though" Sophie commented. Raph nodded and headed towards the first class, Class Two Gold. Their class event seemed to be a display of some kind. An arts and equipment display. "Impressive" Raph muttered as they walked into their Lecture hall. Its construct was similar to the rest, but it seemed to have taken a complete makeover. He took a step to the side when He was abruptly stopped by a familiar energetic figure. "Is that you Raph?" The energetic voice and fluffy monkey tail that wagged behind him were a subtle reminder of the figure. "Rhett?!" Raph muttered in surprise, while Sophie glanced up at them. 'I forgot you were in this class'. "Brother, what did I tell you about disrupting people?" Brett walked down the stairs, his fingers adjusting his glasses as he did so. "I see you're back, Jun. You could have done us a great deal by staying where you were". Raph chuckled in response. "How could I do that when I have many more to learn?" "Learn?!" Rhett screamed out in surprise, alerting the people gathered for a moment. "Hah, you must be joking. I only come here because my mother forces me to, you know" he said, a grumpy tone laced in his voice. Raph chuckled. "Learning isn't the only reason why we are here. Connections matter as well". 'Hah...his mother'. Memories of Aria Son Goku came flashing in his memories like a truck smashing into a light pole. 'Hah.....can't believe these boys were born from that Bitch Queen'. Everything he observed from her was suspicious, up till the last moment. "Oh...speaking of connections, did you know the princess resumed?" Brett said with a sigh, Sophie's eyes bulging slightly at his statement. "the princess? Meadow has been in the Academy for a while now". Raph said with a raised brow, though his thoughts conflicted with what they were about to say next. '...please no...' "Oh no, not Meadow. I meant Manita, the first princess". 'Fuck...not that bitch...' Raph felt an intense headache assault his head at the thought of the woman who caused so many issues for him in his past life. '....I hope I don't meet her in this life'. Sophie, though, was more interested in their conversation than she let off, and her presence seemed to have picked Brett's attention soon after. "You, why do you smell familiar?" his tone was laced with suspicion as he turned towards her. Sophie's gaze flicked towards him, a brow arched with curiosity. "I'm sorry, but how could I smell familiar to you?". She asked with a relaxed tone in her voice. 'Hah....these monkeys'. The Son Goku household was known for their lineage with the Monkey Deity, an old being that was once the king of monsters, and that included demi-humans with animal qualities. So, in a way, they also incorporated those qualities, and their mother was a fox, so their sense of smell was more advanced than many.

Brett turned to Rhett while Raph tilted his head, his gaze flickering between them and Sophie. Rhett sniffed the air for a moment, a slow humming escaping from his mouth. "It seems so, but there were a lot of people that day". Raph's intrigue had been increased a bit after his statement. "What day?" Rhett stared at him, a smile widening across his face. "Have you forgotten already? The Rankings Battle"
