Chapter 21: So, What’s The Plan?
Arlo shot Noah a sideways glance, his grin still on his face. "So, what’s the plan?"
Noah said nothing, but a small smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Are you going to keep pretending you’ve got no plan, or are you finally going to tell me what you’re actually doing today?"
Noah didn’t answer immediately. His face was calm, unreadable.
"I don’t have a plan." He finally said.
Arlo blinked. "Wait, seriously? You don’t expect me to believe that, do you?"
Noah nodded. "I’m going to meet Ben... and let him beat me up."
Arlo stopped walking. "You’re what?"
Noah smirked, just slightly. "You heard me."
"Do you want to lose your B-rank token?"
Noah kept walking.
Arlo caught up, his expression now somewhere between confused and horrified. "You’ve got the whole school talking, you’ve already fought off half a dorm, you roasted Damien Krell, and now you’re planning to just walk into a duel and get knocked around?"
