"Everyone!! Run!!" Catherine shouted as she notices the ring. What are you talking abou-." BANG!! Catherine and some students around Eris suddenly got pushed back and was slammed to the wall.

Halt and Theo rushed towards Catherine and Halt asked "Are you okay?" "D-do I look okay?" She replied, with a blood dripping from her head from the impact of getting slammed to the wall.

"I-I'm the victim though..." Tears dripping from Eris eyes as she clench her hand to her head and her body.

"Halt, Evacuate everyone into the safety." Theo said at Halt and he nodded and stand up and began leading everyone to leave to safety.

Then, Theo carried Catherine on his arm and they went outside of the classroom. Then he pushed the fire alarm at the hallway.

While carrying Catherine they both ran to the building of the third year. "C-couldn't you use your Arch?" Catherine asked. "I don't know how for now." He replied.

The third year's, who has heard the alarm are starting to evacuate. "Ms. Alexia!!" Theo shouted, looking at Alexia sitting on her table. "You've done well" She stands up and went ahead to the buildings of the first year's.

Then she soon arrived at the 7-Sampaguita, in which where is Theo's classroom is. Eris is still crying at the middle of the classroom, while everything around her was getting destroyed.

"Calm down!" Alexia enters the classroom. It suddenly got heavy she felt as soon as she enters, the feeling of someone that is being dragged down to the floor.

"Girl!, you need to calm down!!" She shouted. [Speed up] she then run towards her and instantly at the back of her. "Don't worry, you're safe now." Alexia said as she hugged the girl from the back.

The place have started to light up as the forced that was dragging down disappears. She cries and cries. "So, what's going to happen to her?" Theo said as he enters the classroom, along with first aided Catherine and Carla Claes.

"Well, for starters she needs to come with us at the APC, and we will decide what to do with her there." Alexia replied. Then she carried Eris at her back. [Revert] Everything around them, and also Catherine's injuries disappears, as if it never were.

"Ms. Carla, please do." Alexia said as she left with Eris on her back. [Erase] Carla erases all of the students, teachers, and school faculties memory of what happened today.

"Should I remove your memory too?" Carla asked, while looking at Catherine. "No need." She replied. Then, after the students were back where they are supposed to be, Carla also left.

Superpowers really do exist both Catherine and Theo concluded. The two of them had sat down as if nothing ever happened.

At the APC earthscraper, Alexia brought Eris at her room. "Big shisther! Who'sh thad?" Lily asked. Lily Fernandez, the youngest sister of Alexia.

"Just a temporary visitor." Alexia said, while laying down the sleeping Eris on her bed. "I-I'm the victim aren't I?.." She whisper on her sleep.

A few days ago. May 30th 2135, Monday. A thirteen years old teen became a victim of non-consensual intercourse. The suspect are caught who are said to be a 32 and 40 years old suspect.

June 4th 2135, the post about it has been made, the girl's Identity is hidden but, the people are criticizing her online– as if she wasn't a victim.

June 6th 2135, the girl went to her school walking alone, but then she saw a familiar face. "Dianne!!" The girl teard up as she ran towards her. SLAP!! "Don't touch me, you sl□t!" The girl said.

It turns out that for some reason, this supposedly friend of her, knows what she looks like even with blur. The girl ran back, crying.

Why? Why? I am the victim! The phrase keeps echoing through her mind.then she bumped into some guy. "I-I'm sorry." She then stand up and run to the exit.

"Little girl, why are you crying?" An old man seems to speak with her. "Wha- who are they?" She asked. "You are the victim right?"

"As if they even cared, I was the one who's r∆ped, the one who's ∆bused. And yet..." She kneel down and continue to cry. "Come here, and I'll let them know that you are a victim." He said.

Back in present.

"That's as far of what I've seen" Carla said, as she is talking to Michael at the office. "So we still don't have much of a lead for Balbal." Michael then sigh as he tries to find out where is Balbal was.

"I have a question." Alexia said. "Go on." He replied. "What should we do about her? Eris I mean?" Alexia asked. "I also wonder." Carla adds. "For now, we will have her stay with Zerra, I'm planning to contact her parents to let her stay here, and of course, with the help of school, we can say that this is a dorm." Michael replied.

Then he arrange a meeting between Eris parents and the principal, three days from now. The two also left the office as soon as their conversation finished.

June 9th, 2135, Thursday. Theo, Catherine, and Halt have entered their classroom. There is Eris, sitting on her table. She saw them and and approaches them. "Excuse me." She pulled out some flower origami and gave it to Catherine.

"I-I'm sorry for what I did yesterday." She said. "Don't think about it." Catherine replied. What happened yesterday? But she never went here? Halts though, trying to hard thinking what happened yesterday.

After Catherine takes it, Eris went to her seat, and also the three. "Theo, Catherine. May ask you two?" Halt asked. "Yes, you may." Catherine replied.

"What happened yesterday?" He asked. "It's nothing, just about a homework." Theo said. ,hey, it's still just the first week, what do you mean homework? He said himself.

The teacher then enters the classroom and started to began his lecture.

A few hours later. After the class, Eris went to her room at the APC building. "It's about right here – excuse me." She opens the door and she saw a child, who's about 9 year's old who also is wearing a ring.

"Are you my new roommate?" The little girl asked. "Yes, I am, what's your name?" Eris said. "I'm Zerra Ideales, nice to meet you." She smiled at her.
