"W-W-W-What the hell are you doing, Shikio? T-T-That's something o-o-only lovers should do!" Lin was quick to yank his hand back after Shikio took a hold of it.
Sadly for him, the boy was incredibly more naive and innocent that he would like to think.
After that, he sighed and shook his head again. Well, it definitely helped him get his head out of the gutter, at the very least.
"Let's hurry for the infirmary. I'm gettin' hungry too." Lin continued walking towards the infirmary with Shikio on toll.
"I'll tell you all about the Eye and the games as we walk there."Lin then cleared his throat and started explaining everything to Shikio.
"See here, there was once a great magician by the name Baphel. He was the one that divided magic in the schools we know today." He moved his index finger as he explained his case.
"So, after he was done with that, the man made a ritual in order to pass down a single part of his body through the ages. So, his Eye has gone through the ages for some time now. It grants its user incredible power and it also produces an insane amount of negative energy. Usually, the heir suffers of bad luck but-!" Wait... couldn't Shikio actually help him with this? She could be in the lookout for who's got the Eye if it is among her roommates!
After his realization, Lin coughed some before getting back on track with his explenation.
"But also has access to increasingly powerful magic. Their magical power is often great and unusually powerful. Usually, when someone isn't from a noble house and still has great magical powers, it is because they are the Heir Of Baphel." After that, Lin turned to Shikio with hopeful eyes.
"In any case, Shikio, this will be a race against the others. The Magus Games are a competition as well, so I want you to keep an eye out for anyone who seems suspicious. Just... don't leap on top of them when you think someone is the heir, a'ight? If we win, we might as well become as powerful as Baphel himself."A boost in Lin's power would be a boost in the Fenrir's power as well, after all.

Charlotte tilted her head to the side after Meruin's first word.
"People say that a lot, actually. Am I really that odd?" Charlotte brought a single finger to her chin as she wondered whether the girl was right or not.
What she said afterwards surprised the girl, and she probably overreacted too.
"Eh?! You are going to sleep?! This early? But what about the other classes?! Or do you just... really don't care?"Well, that was odd. What was she even doing at school if she really didn't care about the classes? Since, well, school was a place to learn things, right? Then again, she could be jumping to conclusions and there were actually no more classes to worry about, ergo, the girl was free to go wherever she wanted and that only made Charlotte a really loud nuisance.
Probably it was the latter.
Then, the girl said that she actually did mind her going after her.
Charlotte's shoulders dropped and her enthusiasm had completely disappeared, being replaced by a gloomy mood and a sad little face that would've made even the most heartless of men repent over the words that brought forth such a face.
"I-I see... I'm sorry for disturbing you, then." The girl turned on her heel and went back into the classroom.
"Don't be an idiot, Charlotte. Go after her! She wants you to go after her! It is the typical 'They run away because they want to be chased'!""Eh? Don't they normally run away 'cause they don't like being chased?""A shikigami friend o' mine told me this once. When a chick is all stoic and calm, that means she is a Kuudere. Once you melt that ice, you can get to the sweet, sweet fiery insides of the girl *slurp*." It was the sound of something licking something else.
Honestly, Charlotte did not understand a single thing of what the spirit was saying, but she did arrive to a rather simpel conclusion.
"Soooo.... should I go after her?""Please. And walk behind her, if you can. I wanna enjoy the spectacle.""Err, sure?"Confused, Charlotte still did as she was told and followed behind Meruin. She'd also probably follow her no matter where she went. Yes, even the bathroom. Perhaps that's where Balphegor most wanted to go.
