SSS-Class Profession: The Path to Mastery

Breakfast was calm, despite the awkward moment earlier.

I sat across from Alexis, Camille, and Sienna, eating in relative peace. The quiet hum of the kitchen, the clinking of utensils—it was all so normal.

Until Camille spoke.

"So, Alexis," she said casually, resting her chin on her hand. "How far did you go with Reynard?"

Sienna choked on her food.

I sighed.

Alexis, completely unfazed, wiped her mouth with a napkin and nodded. "Oh, I got pretty far."

Sienna coughed violently, trying to clear her throat as I reached over and patted her back. "Don't die," I muttered.

Alexis, meanwhile, kept talking like nothing was wrong. "His muscle density is different from what I'd expect. It's as if his body has adapted beyond standard human limits. His skeletal structure is also a bit—"

"Not now," I interrupted, exasperated. "At least wait until after breakfast to turn me into a research subject."

Alexis gave an innocent shrug, while Camille smirked behind her cup of coffee.
