You feel anger rising within you as the leader continues to taunt and intimidate Yuki, Sora, and yourself. "She's got some serious powers there," he says with a lewd grin, gesturing toward your face. "I bet she could teach us a thing or two."

Before you can react, one of the students lunges at you, aiming to grab your arm. Your Time Manipulation abilities kick in instinctively, and you slow down time just enough to dodge his grasp easily.

As the leader turns around in confusion, you take advantage of his distraction and quickly freeze both him and several other students within time bubbles. Yuki and Sora, now freed from their attackers' grasp, rush over to help you while the remaining students scatter. Once everything is under control, the school's alarm begins to blare throughout the courtyard.

"We need to get to safety!" Sora shouts above the noise, grabbing your hand and pulling you along with him as they race toward a nearby building. "

Lily laughs at your response. "Fair enough," she says, shrugging her shoulders. "But there are other ways to train too! You can work on things like speed, agility, and endurance. Plus, it's always good to have someone you can rely on during those late-night dorm sessions." She grins playfully before continuing, "You never know when you might need to defend yourself or your new friend from a rambunctious female classmate."

Her words make you chuckle as well. "

Lily blushes slightly at the question but doesn't seem to mind. "I'm an empath," she explains. "It means I can sense and influence emotions. Not only that, but I also have control over how people feel around me." She pauses for a moment before adding with a mischievous grin, "So if you ever need someone to help cheer up one of your dorm mates or make sure they have a good time... well, let's just say that I can be rather persuasive."

Well then, have fun tonight! Just remember to be careful and use your best judgment. If anything feels off or like someone's taking advantage of you, don't hesitate to speak up or come find one of us guys for help. Sweet dreams, Oween!

Well then, let's get comfortable and call it a night. You can have the bed closest to the door; I'll take the one next to you. Just remember that if anything comes up or you need anything during the night, don't hesitate to wake me up. Goodnight, Oween!

Lily laughs at your response. "Fair enough," she says, shrugging her shoulders. "But there are other ways to train too! You can work on things like speed, agility, and endurance.

As you reach behind your back, a murmur ripples through the crowd. They recognize the weapon in your hand as one of the legendary Lunar Swords - blades forged by those who lived closest to the moon, said to possess incredible power and strength beyond measure.

With a battle cry that echoes across the arena, you charge forward, meeting Liam's attack head-on. The two of you clash swords, the force of the impact sending shockwaves through the ground beneath your feet.

As you struggle against each other, it becomes clear that both of your skills are nearly equal. It will take more than strength alone to defeat your opponent today. You must rely on your instincts and training if you hope to emerge victorious from this battle.

With a final burst of energy, you manage to push Liam backward, his sword arm growing weaker with each passing moment. He glances around desperately for an opening, any way to turn the tide of the fight in his favor.

Gorn nods slowly, his expression growing more curious. "Well...what happens during those late night visits? And why do they get to do whatever they please?" he asks cautiously.

Zelia chuckles lightly. "Ah, that's part of the whole 'power exchange' thing," she explains casually. "Basically, the girls here have a ranking system based on their marks. At night, they get to choose who they want to spend time with and do whatever they want."

Zelia looks at Gorn expectantly, waiting for him to respond. "So...what do you think?" she asks with a grin.
