Raziel Phoenix burst into laughter. "Of course not. Ray's a guy. The big sister is Lily."
Violetta's eyes widened.
That battle… she would never forget it. Lily had crossed ranks and crushed her brother with overwhelming ease. And yet… she wasn't the strongest?
With only three students in class zero, the strongest had to be the captain.
"Does Ray have two rings too?" she asked.
Raziel Phoenix shook his head. "Nope. Same as you. One ring."
"One ring… and he's the captain?"
Her curiosity about Ray surged.
Before she could ask more, Raziel Phoenix only smiled mysteriously and walked away.

The next morning, the new semester opening ceremony began.
Class zero stood at the very front of the first-year students.
Three people.
Lily on the left, Raziel Phoenix in the middle, Violetta on the right.
Ray was absent.
Alfred stood among the teachers, expression indifferent, as though Ray's absence meant nothing at all.
