"Yeah, I guess the student council president knew his mana levels were crazy…"
"I feel bad for Renata. She just got scammed out of a hundred million zeni… how's she even going to pay that?"
"Don't be ridiculous. It's obvious she won't. The president doesn't need the money—she just wants to humiliate Renata. She'll probably just make her do something tough…"
Renata gritted her teeth. Her ego had overridden her reason. She knew it was a trap—felt it in her bones—but she couldn't back down. Not after months of pressuring Lilith, not after spending so long trying to dig up whatever secrets the girl was hiding. She'd found nothing. Only suspicions.
And now?
'It all changed when that bastard Damon Grey came back… I am going to make him pay…'
