Tragedy 300 - Rumors

"If he's the one, that means he's the one who made me lose my memory and turn me into an evolver?" Rei asked again.
"Yes, he's the one." Finally Louis spoke up after enough pauses.
Rei was still glued to his place. He could not speak of Louis' confession.
Louis looked up at his master. "I can't explain everything now. This is not a good time. And the one thing I want to ask you, sir, don't think about that man. I just don't want to, sir get hurt if you have to deal with him."
Louis looked at Rei who was still silent without a word.

Lusia fretfully stared towards the entrance. The bell rang, but Rei never showed his nose.
Why is he late? Not as usual. Is he not going in? Did he avoid because there was bad news about him? Now how can I find out the truth if he doesn't exist himself? I need an explanation from her, the inner Lucia who is in her place.
Not long after, the man he had been in his care for three days ago revealed himself.
As soon as Rei entered, the condition of the classroom that was originally crowded waiting for the teacher, suddenly quiet quietly without the slightest sound.
Everyone stared at Rei who was now approaching his desk and sitting on the same chair as Heru.
Heru looked at Rei, he wanted to inquire about the existence of the rumors circulating about him. But, just now he was going to say Mr. Fadly had already appeared and entered their class.

Lucia was speechless looking at Rei who now disappeared behind the exit. Gloria and Heru approached her best friend.
"What's wrong with her?" Heru muttered softly.
"Here, ignore him. Let's go to the cafeteria and have lunch together, eating is the best way to raise the mood. Especially sweet food, I hear our canteen has the most delicious cake stand ever. Let's go there after lunch, let's buy all the sweet cakes! Especially the chocolate." Gloria was holding her best friend's shoulder.
"Right, I hear chocolate can elevate a person's mood. Especially dark chocolate." Heru. The two of them walked herding Lucia out of the classroom.
Gloria was just trying to comfort her best friend so as not to be sad like that.
Along the way to the cafeteria for lunch together, Lucia unceasingly thought of Rei's attitude which somehow felt like she was dodging.
First, he came to school late. Totally unlike the usual Rei, after that during this break, he had the wrong association and said that there was an urgent matter that he wanted to finish.
Lucia did not want to be suspicious of Rei or believe the writing in the article she read. However, with Rei's attitude like this…
