The Art Of Sword

While Sogae was talking with No-Name. Grace dragged Sunz back to her room to have a talk.

Grace pulled Sunz inside her room, aggressively pushed him against her door, and said “Stay here! I need to get something.”

Right after Grace releases Sunz’s collar and goes looking for her stuff. Sunz just checking his throat and thinks (I should be careful about what I’m gonna say next.)

Grace said loudly “Found it!” and returned to Sunz with a notepad and pen in her hands.

Sunz asks: What are you going to do with them?

Grace answered “Oh! They are for you not me.” And holding them out for Sunz to take.

Sunz slowly, awkwardly taking the pen and notepad from Grace’s hands then asks “So what do you want me to write?”

Sunz suddenly feels an ominous aura from Grace when she starts talking.

Grace: I heard that you and that No-Name girl got pretty close with each other on the bus. She even asked to talk with you alone and you accepted it, how shameful of you.

Sunz: Wait, I didn’t agree to talk with her! Grimm forced me into that situation, I had no other choice except to engage in the conversation.

Grace: Who said that you’re allowed to talk, huh?! I don’t care that Grimm forced you, but you did spend your time with another girl. And during that time you must have looked at her a lot didn’t ya?!

Sunz now holding up the pen and notepad in front of his face as a shield then asks: Can you just get to the point, please? And what is your punishment for me?

Grace: How impatient of you! Fine then, I need to take a shower shortly. So this is your punishment,… detail for me what No-Name was wearing.

Sunz: Huh?!

Grace: What are you huhing for, finish your punishment already, didn’t I tell you that I need to take a shower soon!

Sunz quickly scribbles down what he remembers and gives Grace the notepad and pen back.

She takes a look at it and said “I don’t know if this is enough but why did you also include some of her appearance?”

Sunz: I just noted down what came to my mind while I was checking her out.

Grace: Then what about some of her more feminine features? I don’t see you writing any of it down.

Sunz thinks for a bit (Feminine features?) then it snaps to him: Oh that! I have no clue. Those probably weren’t that important to me so I didn’t pay much attention. Do you also want to hear about her personality?

Grace said “Um, sure…I guess.” And thinks (He is pretty comfortable saying whatever is on his mind.)

Sunz: She is pretty aggressive, looks down on other people maybe just me at the moment but she does recognize my strength and told me to not follow my stupid plan.

Grace's thought halfway through Sunz’s sentence (It feels like she and I have the same personality.) Then near the end, she speaks up: Wait how did she know about your plan?

Sunz: No clue, but she told me to be careful about what I’m going to say when she is around.

Grace: Uh well since you have been pretty “well behave” during this conversation. You can ask me any questions, but only one.

Sunz: I got one!

Grace (That’s fast): Let’s hear it.

Sunz: Are you mad at me for talking with No-Name? Was that the reason why you were acting so aggressively?

Grace said, “That was 2 questions but I’ll allow it.” Then she grabbed his arm and felt that (His pulse is really fast right now!).

Grace asks Sunz: Your heart rate is very fast right now! Are you nervous? Did my action scare you?

Sunz: I guess so, but I get it who wouldn’t get mad if they see their “significant other” getting along with people of their genders. I'm just happy that you didn’t cause a scene because of it.

Grace blushed bright red after hearing the word “Significant other”: I’ll be honest with you. I wasn’t mad at you! And all of that acting let’s say I was just teasing you…

Sunz has a sigh of relief and just slides off the door. Grace catches him and makes sure that he sits with his back against the door and not fall to the side.

Grace: Hearing that must have been a relief for you!

Sunz: It is! And I don’t mind you teasing me like that, it makes our life more exciting but don’t go overboard with it.

Grace: Since we are both still new to this “Relationship” I’ll try my best.

Sunz: Now that’s settled. What is your reason for asking me about No-Name’s outfit?

Grace: About that, hmm? I’ll tell you later. Now I need to take a shower and you should too.

Grace lifted Sunz up, opened the door, pushed him outside, waved him goodbye, and said “See you at dinner!”

Sunz just shrugs it off and returns to his room for a shower.

15 minutes later! After getting out of the shower Sunz received messages from an unknown number.

“This is Grace. Don’t wait for me. I’ll head down later.”

“ If you wonder how I got your number. I just ask Sogae.”

Sunz: I didn’t even give Sogae my number, so how did she? (Probably from Jihu.)

Later down at the dining area, Sunz met a familiar face.

Sunz: You know, meeting you here was not something I expected.

No-Name: Of all people I could have met you are the first one!

Sunz: You know that you don’t have to keep being that hostile toward me. I’ve never met you before.

No-Name: I know, but something about you keeps irritating me. Maybe we aren’t supposed to get along.

Sunz: Fine then… So you come down here often?

No-Name: Don’t start the small talk.

Sogae then appeared out of nowhere and said “You kids really should learn how to get along.”

Both Sunz and No-Name: Miss Sogae!

Sogae: Follow me. Now!

Then she takes both of them to one of the tables in the corner that near the window.

Sogae: I’m sorry that tonight the whole place is pretty busy. But I managed to save a spot for you four.

No-Name was surprised and asked: Four? Who else is coming here?

Sogae: Well! You, him, Grace and Jihu. I don’t want you to just stay in your room until the tournament is over. So just enjoy yourself and eat to your heart’s content.

After saying all that Sogae leaves the kids alone.

Sunz thinks (So that's the reason!) then stands up.

No-Name: Where are you going?

Sunz: Well, since we all going to stuck here for quite a while, rather than sitting in silence I’m getting myself dinner.

No-Name: Yeah, that’s a good idea. See you in five minutes.

Five minutes later No-Name returned to the table first and started enjoying her food. After a few bites, she sighed and said to herself “I’m so stupid. I wasted so many days just sitting in my room and eating cup noodles while there is free tasty food just around the corner.”

No-Name quickly finishes her food and stands up to get another plate. Right after she leaves the table Sunz comes back with his plate. Seeing the empty plate on No-Name side he just thought (Someone finally got to enjoy good food!)

Later No-Name returned to the table with her food and Sunz commented “It looks like you are having a great time here.”

No-Name: I guess I could ease up with you a bit but not too much since I don’t want Grace your girlfriend to see us being too friendly to each other.

Sunz: How did you…?

No-Name: Your last moment when fighting against her. That was quite a scene.

Then both of them heard “Hey Sunz” and it was Grace. It looks like she doesn’t notice No-Name.

Grace “Sogae told me to meet you here” Then she saw who was sitting opposite to Sunz. She just stops talking and types something on her phone.

No-Name just enjoying her food while watching Sunz resolve the “Conflict.”

Right before Sunz was about to say something he received a message from Grace.

“Don’t talk with me during dinner.”

After that message what on his mind was (What is happening?). Then Sunz felt a pat on his shoulder from someone and they said “Let’s the girl have their fun. It’s you and me tonight buddy.”

And that someone was Jihu.

Jihu suggested to Grace that they should go get their own food and then return to the table. Grace agrees and before leaving she gives Sunz a death glare.

No-Name: You two definitely are something.

Sunz: Let’s not talk about it.

No-Name: Sure! But I’ll tell you this, don’t lose her!

After that, everyone enjoys their dinner. Even though the two sides don’t interact with each other that much. Except just saying ‘Goodbye!’

Right before going to bed, Sunz remembered what No-Name said “Don’t lose her!”

Sunz holds up his phone and thinks (Is this too much) before texting Grace “Goodnight”. Then he quickly fell asleep!

Right after that, his phone received a text “Goodnight” from Grace.

Grace said to herself: I didn’t expect him to take the initiative. Probably because I kind of scared him too much tonight!

Other people's perspective after the dinner.

No-Name: So that the feeling of having “Friends”.

Jihu: Tomorrow I’ll show you how scary a medic can be.

Sogae: This generation is filled with talents!
