Chapter 318: Arc 5, - 12: Class of Aces
"Oh finally, I was convinced you were a myth at this point," Stella replied.
"What do you mean by mystery name?" the brunette crossed her arms.
"Your name, it’s been on our class list since 1st year. But nobody knew a Fumeko Namora, they were just somebody apparently in our class and studied with us for eleven years."
"Well..." Fumeko pouted and glanced away, "I was homeschooled, but I guess I was still in the system..."
"Ahem," Stella cleared her throat and wiped away her surprise, "So that be the truth. Why such an inapt fate?" she stood bolder.
Fumeko rolled her eyes hearing her voice, "You’ll have to ask my dad on that one. Apparently he was too scared and paranoid—his words," she glanced back to her.
"Father..." Stella pondered about the man she saw with her earlier. "Namora... Such name bears some recollection in my mind, however-"
"Greatest detective in Burnetrout, Kazuo Namora," Fumeko replied.
"Ah, I see." Stella picked up her picket sign and checked the large clock on the school building. "Thou deems thyself overshadowed by his talent and are disconcerted of bearing the name."
"What!?" she shouted back with her eyes widened and brows furrowed. "For your information, I’ve done a lot of things too in the past half a year!
Heard of the Velatos Case in Kria? Or the rogue battalion in Hartamat? Or the rebellion in Tamara Palace? Or the Last Stand of Trailon—which took them out of the war? Guess who was vital in all of that!?"
Stella recoiled her head back as Fumeko encroached on her personal space. Onlookers glanced in the direction and a few students approached in concern, "A-all is well!" Stella said loudly with a nervous smile.
