You and Celestia in the living quarters outside your rooms. You are typing on a laptop while Celestia shuffled a deck of cards.

"You must have fine hands to shuffle with that amount of professionalism," you commented.

Celestia: "I have to, never know when I'm the one dealing."

"Do you mostly play rather than deal?"

Celestia: "I do, though I often deal to see who would be worthy of playing against me."

"Know your opponents. I respect that."

Celestia: "Nice to know. What are you doing right now?"

"Looking at news articles. Eden Corp claims that this academy will ensure a bright future for any Ultimate who ends up a lowlife."

Celestia: "Is that what they're calling us?"

"So far, only Black, but that's it. Still haven't heard any sense of superiority from the "Enforcers" at this place."

Celestia: "Okay, but I'll gladly take on whatever challenge they have for me."

"Same."

Your masks went off, signaling that you are scheduled to attend class. After sitting through the lecture with the rest of the students, the class ended after an hour and everyone left, while you and Celestia went to the lunch room and waited in line for your food.

After getting your food, you sat at a two-person table.

"First time you've eaten mashed potatoes?"

Celestia: "Not really. I've eaten food such as this. Though my favorite food is Gyoza."

"I've eaten that as well, but those were the kinds you find at food stands around the city. Probably not as good as authentic Gyoza."

Celestia: "Well, if they can serve decent Gyoza, I probably wouldn't mind it."

"Well, when we get time to go outside this place, would you like me to take you there?"

Celestia: "Asking me out on a date already?"

"More like getting to know an ally better. That's how we're going to rise back up when our sentences are finished."

Celestia: "Very well. And I am smiling under my mask in case you were wondering."

"Thank you for clarifying that. It is hard to see your face underneath your mask."

Celestia: "At least yours can show your expressions. How come mine can't?"

"I think you look more elegant and mysterious with the mask you have. Mine is no different from the one I was wearing before."

Celestia: "Well, let's put a pin on the mask conversation. I want to know, what's your level in gambling?"

"I played a lot of Solitaire."

Celestia: "Would you mind playing Poker later? I want to know your level of gambling."

"Sure."

Hours later, you and Celestia are in your quarters playing Poker.

"Full House," you said, putting your deck down.

Celestia gently put her cards down.

Celestia: "Royal Straight Flush. I win."

"I didn't expect any other outcome," you sighed. "It was still fun though."

Celestia: "Glad you think so, because I'd place you in C-rank."

"Really?"

Celestia: "You did pretty well."

"Thank you."

Celestia: "I might have some ways we can work together when we get out of this academy."

"I'm all for it already."
