You and Celestia in a large courtyard where several students are conversing with others, including the Prefect classes. You are sitting at a table where you have a can of cherry soda while Celestia is sipping from a cup of tea.

The two of you are discussing your past and what you have planned for your futures before they you got a 6 month sentence in the academy.

"So yeah, I thought that after getting intel on a few more corrupt executives and exposing their actions to the world, I could take what I could and live an okay life. It's not a mansion or anything, but it would have been quiet life on the beach where I can just tinker with my computers."

Celestia: "The beach is nice. Even I am not one to see it as meaningless. But I will continue striving for my dream no matter the cost."

Suddenly, a loud ring blasts, and the Holographic Announcer appears on the screens.

Announcer: "May I have your attention? Due to the students behaving themselves and keeping their rule-breaking to a minimum, the academy has decided to give you all 10 minutes of privacy with no monitoring. You will be allowed to take off your masks and talk about whatever you desire. As long as it does not lead to consequences in the future. Enjoy."

Everyone goes to who they want to talk to and even form groups, but you and Celestia stayed together and privacy boxes formed around everyone. You and Celestia take off their masks.

Celestia: "That's so much better. Wearing this all the time outside of my dorm, I'm just going to say it, it sucks."

"Ditto."

The two of you looked at each other and blushed a bit before you broke the silence.

"So, you're pretty and all, but are you still going to risk your life in Japan? I know places that have high stakes and are legal, but you can still make it out with your life and soul intact."

Celestia: "Perhaps I will visit those places when I get bored and want a break from my dream."

"Okay, I'm just going to be hypocritical with what I say. Lady Ludenberg, I know you've been risking your life everyday to earn enough money one day to buy a European castle and fill it with handsome men."

Celestia: "So you were listening."

"But maybe you should try to stop while you're ahead and you can still afford a manor. You know, it's big enough for several people and you don't have to worry too much about paying your staff once you afford it for a while."

Celestia: "Under normal circumstances I would yell at you for saying what I consider an insult, but after everything I've been through and getting thrown in here, I might give your idea a small amount of consideration. Still, don't expect me to be on board with it."

"I'd never dare to think that Milady."

Celestia: "Good."

She tries to take another sip but found that her cup is empty. You held out a teapot, offering to pour more, and she accepted and you poured into the cup. Celestia brought out another soda can and handed it to you, and the two continued enjoying your drinks.
