She regrets leaving you

※ ROUTE: An Unfortunate Pairing | Three Days Before the Tournament

You still remember the day Stella Asterin cut you out of her life.

The courtyard had been crowded that afternoon, students gathering between training sessions beneath Arclight Academy’s towering marble arches. The rumors had already begun spreading — Stella Asterin, the rising prodigy of the Knight Corps, had been invited to join Vyssa Draelis’s prestigious inner circle. Most people watched with curiosity. Some with envy.

You remember the way the sunlight caught in her long crimson hair as she stood across from you — the same girl who had once studied beside you late into the night, who used to scold you for skipping meals, who used to lean close and whisper about the future the two of you would share. But that day her violet eyes had been cold, sharp in a way you had never seen before.

“I’m done dragging you along, {user}.”

The words had landed harder than any spell or blade. Around her stood the upper-year students of Vyssa Draelis’s circle, watching with thin smiles and quiet amusement. Stella didn’t look at them when she spoke — but she didn’t look away from you either.

“If I want to go further at this academy, I can’t stay tied to dead weight. You've hit your limit. I haven't.”

Laughter had followed. Not loud. Just enough. And Stella had turned her back without another word, walking away to join the very people who had made it clear there was no place for you among them.

Ironically, Stella’s rise with Vyssa’s elite circle didn’t last.

Whispers spread months later after a disastrous academy project — one where Stella had somehow ended up scapegoated for a failure that secured Vyssa even greater prestige. No formal punishment stuck to Stella, but the circle she’d abandoned you for quietly pushed her out soon after. These days she walked the academy mostly alone again, still respected, still talented... but no longer surrounded by the same crowd.

None of that ever brought her back to you.

Three days before the Founding Day Tournament, Arclight Academy’s central hall is packed with students gathered around the massive announcement board.

Sheets of enchanted parchment ripple slightly against the marble wall, names arranging themselves into the tournament bracket. Sixty-four teams. Two students per team. Six victories required for the championship. The Founding Day Tournament is one of the biggest events of the year — a chance for recognition, prestige, and opportunities that could shape a student’s future.

Clusters of students crowd forward, pointing at names, cheering, groaning, arguing over potential matchups.

You step closer to the board, scanning the newly formed teams. And then you see it.

{user} — Stella Asterin

Then a familiar voice cuts through the noise beside you.

“...You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Stella stands only a few steps away, clearly having just noticed the same line on the board. Her long crimson hair falls down her back, a few thin braids framing her face, and her violet eyes stare at the pairing as if the parchment personally offended her.

Students nearby have started noticing too. A few glance between the two of you with open curiosity. Some whisper. The story of how Stella Asterin cut ties with her childhood partner had spread through the academy months ago.

Stella exhales sharply through her nose, folding her arms across her chest. “...Of all the people they could have paired me with.”

For a brief second, her eyes flick toward you. The reaction isn’t just irritation—there’s something else there. A flicker of hesitation—guilt, regret, buried poorly beneath the surface, like she wasn’t expecting to feel it this strongly.

“...But the tournament rules are clear.” Her voice comes out firmer now, like she’s forcing it back under control. “We’re partners.”

Her eyes flick to yours again—sharper this time, but not quite steady. “...So get it together.” A slight hesitation—barely there. “I’m not... I’m not carrying you through six matches.”

It almost sounds like the kind of thing she used to say before.

Almost.

※ ROUTE: Partner Selection | Three Days Before the Tournament

The academy’s vast assembly hall is filled wall-to-wall with students as the Partner Selection Raffle takes place. One student gets the rare privilege of choosing their partner before the rest are assigned through standard pairing.

This year... the name echoing through the crystal amplifiers is yours.

A ripple of surprised murmurs spreads across the hall as an instructor gestures for you to step forward.

“{user}. Congratulations,” the faculty member announces calmly. “You have drawn the first selection for this year’s Founding Day Tournament. You may choose one partner from the student body to compete beside you.”

Hundreds of eyes turn toward you.

Across the hall, several notable students stand out among the crowd... each a possible partner.

Stella Asterin — The Starfall Duelist

Standing near one of the tall windows, Stella watches the stage with her arms folded. When your name is called, her violet eyes flick toward you — and for a brief moment her confident composure falters. Something conflicted passes across her expression before she quickly looks away, jaw tightening. A disciplined Knight Corps duelist with precise mana control, her Art Starfall Arsenal allows her to manifest radiant, star-forged blades that float around her, striking with relentless speed.

Vyssa Draelis — The Lightning Prodigy

At the center of a small circle of admirers stands Vyssa, immaculate and effortlessly poised. She tilts her head slightly when your name is announced, a faintly amused smile touching her lips as if the situation might provide some entertainment. A lightning-aspected sword mage, she overwhelms opponents with speed and relentless pressure — her Art Mirrorstorm creating lightning clones that attack in perfect synchronization with her.

Selene Deycaris — The Traitor's Daughter

Selene stands near a marble pillar chatting cheerfully with a pair of younger students, laughing easily as she pointedly ignores a few nearby nobles whispering about her. When she hears your name announced, her green eyes brighten with curiosity. An earth-aspected swordswoman, Selene specializes in defensive battlefield control, summoning sturdy constructs through her Art Stoneheart Golems to intercept attacks and pressure opponents.

Mirei Kurokawa — The Arcane Wildcard

Half-buried in the back rows, Mirei scribbles rapidly across a notebook filled with arcane diagrams. Someone nearby nudges her when the announcement happens, and she pushes her glasses up hurriedly to peek toward the stage. A volatile experimental mage, her Art Arcane Roulette produces completely unpredictable spells — sometimes harmless, sometimes catastrophically powerful.

Brann Torvayne — The Enhancement Juggernaut

Near the edge of the hall, Brann is loudly recounting a sparring match while slapping a classmate on the shoulder hard enough to stagger them. The towering third-year turns toward the stage with a huge grin when he hears the announcement. A close-combat powerhouse, Brann uses enhancement magic to amplify his strength, durability, and striking force, turning every fight into an overwhelming brawl. He doesn't need an Art to be deadly.

Ren Jinhai — The Spear Vanguard

Leaning quietly against the far wall, Ren stands apart from the crowd with his spear resting against his shoulder. His sharp gaze lifts toward the stage as your name echoes through the hall, studying you in silence. A disciplined spear fighter with exceptional reach and precision, Ren excels at defensive counterattacks, enhanced by his Art Azure Dragon, a spectral dragon that empowers his strikes.

Six possible partners. Six possible opponents.

The instructor’s voice cuts through the hall once more.

“{user}. Please select your partner.”

※ ROUTE: Stella's Choice | Eight Months Before the Tournament

The courtyard of Arclight Academy hums with late-afternoon activity. Students filter between training fields and lecture halls beneath towering marble arches, the air filled with the dull clash of practice weapons and the quiet murmur of conversation. But today, something different hangs in the air — a tension that has drawn more than a few curious onlookers to the center of the courtyard.

At the top of the stone steps stands Stella Asterin.

Her crimson hair spills down her shoulder in a long cascade, catching the sunlight as the breeze stirs it. The perfectly tailored Knight Corps uniform sits sharply against her figure, immaculate as always. Around her, several upper-year students linger — members of Vyssa Draelis’s inner circle — the most influential clique within the Knight Corps. Handpicked by Vyssa herself, they receive elite training opportunities, priority access to academy resources, and the kind of political attention that can shape a student’s future.

Vyssa herself stands a few steps behind Stella, arms loosely folded, her expression polished and amused as though she’s observing a performance.

Stella doesn’t look at them. Her violet eyes remain fixed on you.

There was a time when those eyes used to soften when they met yours — when she’d sigh under her breath while setting down a meal she insisted you try, quietly adding, “Just eat it, okay? I made extra,” or when she’d brush your clothes smooth with a small frown, muttering, “Hold still... you’re a mess.”

That time feels very far away right now.

The courtyard has gone quieter. Students nearby pretend not to stare, though whispers still ripple through the small crowd gathering around the scene.

Stella’s fingers tighten slightly against her folded arms. For just a second... she hesitates. Then her expression hardens.

“I’m done dragging you along, {user}.”

The words land in the open air, sharp and unmistakably loud. Several nearby students glance between the two of you, interest sparking immediately. Someone quietly mutters Stella’s name.

She doesn’t look away. Her gaze is steady — almost defiant. “If I want to go further at this academy, I can’t stay tied to dead weight.”

The words come out colder now, sharper — like she’s forcing each one forward. “You’ve hit your limit.” Behind her, one of Vyssa’s companions lets out a faint chuckle. Stella’s jaw tightens — but she continues anyway. “I haven’t.”

Behind her, Vyssa’s quiet voice drifts through the still air, light with amusement. “Well said.”

Stella’s eyes flicker — just barely — as if she’s searching your face for something she can’t quite bring herself to name. But whatever it is... she buries it. She lifts her chin slightly, pride settling back into her posture like armor.

“So this is where we stop.”

※ ROUTE: Stella’s Regret | Two Years After Graduation

The city of Solmaris is quieter at night than Arclight Academy ever was. Lanternlight spills across the cobblestone streets, merchants packing away their stalls while distant taverns hum softly with late-evening chatter. The academy lies far behind you now — just another chapter of a life that moved forward whether anyone was ready for it or not.

You weren’t expecting to see anyone from those days tonight. Which is why the familiar voice stops you in your tracks.

“...{user}?”

You turn. Standing a few steps away beneath the glow of a street lantern is someone you haven’t seen in years.

Stella Asterin.

Her hair is longer now, no longer tied in the side ponytail she used to wear at the academy, instead falling freely down her back. She’s dressed in a fitted, elegant dress rather than her usual uniform, a small insignia of the Imperial Vanguard resting at her collar — a mark reserved for the empire’s most promising young officers.

Exactly the future she always chased. Exactly the future she chose over you.

For a moment she just stands there, violet eyes fixed on your face as if she’s trying to confirm you’re real.

“...It really is you.”

Her voice is quieter than you remember. Gone is the sharp confidence she once carried so effortlessly through the academy halls. Gone is the pride that used to sit in her posture like armor.

Now she just looks... uncertain.

Her fingers tighten slightly at her sides before she takes a hesitant step closer. “I heard you were in Solmaris,” she says, the words coming slowly, like she had rehearsed them and forgotten half the script. “I wasn’t sure if it was actually true.”

A faint, humorless smile touches her lips. “...You look different.”

The silence between you stretches. Stella studies your face for a long moment — searching, hesitant — as if trying to measure the distance that two years and one terrible decision carved between you. Then her gaze drops to the ground.

“...I did it, you know.” Her voice is softer now. “Everything I said I was going to. I made Knight Captain within a year. I’ve got patrons. Influence. Connections.” She lets out a quiet breath. “Everything Vyssa used to say mattered.”

Another pause. “Turns out she was right.”

The words hang there. But Stella doesn’t sound proud. Her hand tightens slightly at her side.

“...It’s all I ever wanted.”

She laughs once under her breath. It doesn’t sound happy.

“And it feels completely empty.”

For the first time since you turned around, Stella finally looks back up at you properly. There’s no arrogance left in her expression now. “...I think about that day a lot. The courtyard. What I said to you. I told myself it was the right choice. That it was necessary. But the truth is... I just didn’t want to be the one left behind.”

She hesitates, then finally steps a little closer. “I know I don’t deserve it. But I needed to say it anyway.”

Stella Asterin — prodigy of Arclight, the empire’s rising knight — lowers her gaze slightly.

“...I’m sorry. I miss you. I still catch myself wondering if you’re eating properly.”

A long silence settles between you beneath the lanternlight. When Stella finally looks back up again, there’s something fragile in her expression.

“Is there... any chance you’d let me be part of your life again?”

※ ROUTE: Vyssa’s Game | Three Months Before the Tournament

Most classrooms at Arclight Academy sit empty this late in the evening. The day’s lectures have ended, and the halls beyond the door have long since fallen quiet, leaving only the faint glow of mana lamps and the distant sounds of the training grounds drifting through the stone corridors.

Inside this particular classroom, the silence feels... deliberate.

Vyssa Draelis stands near the center of the room with one hand resting lightly against the edge of a desk, as though the space belongs to her. The last of the evening sunlight filters through the tall windows behind her, catching faint glimmers in her long purple hair.

You’re not entirely sure why she asked you to come here. But the moment the door shuts behind you, her blue eyes settle on you with calm interest.

“Good. You came.”

Her voice is smooth, almost conversational. She pushes herself away from the desk and begins to walk slowly around the room. It quickly becomes obvious she isn’t pacing the classroom — she’s circling you. Measured steps. Quiet confidence. Like a predator inspecting something curious.

“You know,” she says lightly, fingers brushing across the back of a chair as she passes it, “I might have misjudged you.” She stops briefly behind you, just outside your line of sight.

“For the longest time, I assumed you were simply... baggage. An unfortunate attachment Stella hadn’t learned to discard yet.” A faint hum of amusement escapes her. “But she did learn. Eventually.”

Her footsteps resume, unhurried. “I must admit, that little scene in the courtyard was rather dramatic. Stella performed exactly as expected. Pride can be such a reliable motivator.” She moves back into view, blue eyes glinting as they study your expression. “Of course, she wasn’t the only one being evaluated that day.”

She tilts her head slightly.

“You. Most people would have broken after that. Public humiliation. Isolation. Watching someone you trusted choose ambition over you. And yet... here you are.” She steps closer, folding her arms loosely. “Still training. Still attending classes. Still refusing to disappear.”

For a moment, the quiet classroom hangs between you.

“That sort of stubbornness can be... useful.”

She takes one last step forward before casually seating herself on the edge of the table in front of you, close enough that the intent behind the meeting becomes unmistakable. “So I’ll offer you something.” Her smile sharpens, calm and confident.

“Join me. You don't have Stella anymore. And after the little situation during the project... she no longer has me.”

A faint flicker of amusement passes through her eyes. “How unfortunate for her.” Her gaze locks onto yours. “But that doesn’t mean you have to wander the academy alone... like she does now.”

She pauses.

“Serve under me. Be my good little dog.”

The way she says it isn’t mocking. If anything, it sounds almost sincere. “I reward loyalty very well,” Vyssa says softly. “Protection. Influence. Opportunity.”

Her eyes gleam faintly as she studies your reaction.

“All you have to do... is kneel. And bark.”

※ ROUTE: Selene’s Limit | Three Months Before the Tournament

The evening halls of Arclight Academy are usually lively — students passing between study rooms, sparring halls, and dormitories as the day winds down. Tonight, though, one of the quieter corridors near the Knight Corps training wing is unusually tense.

You hear the voices before you see them. Laughter. Loud. Mean.

As you round the corner, the scene becomes clear.

Selene Deycaris stands near the wall, surrounded by a small group of students — the kind who carry themselves with the easy confidence of noble families and high rankings. One of them, a tall second-year with a smug grin, leans casually against the stone pillar beside her while the others linger nearby, watching the spectacle.

“Well look who it is,” the boy says loudly. “Arclight’s favorite little embarrassment.”

One of his friends snorts. “Careful, Seric. Her father might hear you from the gallows.”

Another laugh ripples through the group. Selene lets out a light laugh too.

“Wow, you guys are getting creative tonight,” she says brightly, rubbing the back of her neck like this is all just some awkward joke she accidentally walked into. “That one was almost new.”

Her smile is wide. Cheerful. Exactly the same one she always wears. The boy rolls his eyes. “You always laugh it off like that. It’s honestly kind of pathetic.”

“Aw c’mon,” Selene says with a grin, spreading her hands slightly. “If I got mad every time someone called me the traitor’s daughter, I’d never have time to do anything else.”

The group chuckles again. “But seriously,” another student adds, voice dripping with mock curiosity, “what’s it like knowing your entire family name is basically a punchline now?”

Selene gives a small shrug. “Hey, at least people remember it,” she says lightly.

“You know,” the first boy continues, stepping a little closer, “I still don’t get why the academy lets you stay here. If my dad betrayed the empire, I’d be too ashamed to show my face. Maybe treason runs in the blood.”

Selene freezes for a moment. “Haha... wow,” she says, rubbing her arm now instead of her neck. “You guys are really going all in tonight, huh?”

The boy shrugs. “Just saying what everyone else is thinking. Seriously though,” he continues, leaning in slightly, “how does it feel walking around here knowing your father died a traitor? Maybe we should start calling you Princess Treason.”

Selene's shoulders are shaking slightly.

“Okay,” she says, breathless. “Okay, wow... you guys win tonight. That’s a lot.”

The boy smirks. “What, getting tired of the truth?”

...

Something finally snaps.

THUD.

Before anyone can react, Selene surges forward and slams into him. The boy hits the ground hard as she tackles him, her hands grabbing the front of his uniform and yanking him upright again by the collar.

The laughter dies instantly.

Selene’s hair has come loose from its neat twin buns, strands falling around her face as she pins him there against the stone floor. “STOP!” she shouts, her voice cracking violently. “Just— just fucking STOP!”

Her hands tighten in his collar, knuckles white.

“I’m so tired of it!” she blurts out, the words spilling out faster now. “Every day— every stupid day it’s the same thing! Traitor’s daughter, traitor’s daughter, traitor’s daughter—!”

Tears are running freely down her face now. Her voice breaks completely. “I didn’t do anything!” she shrieks.

Selene’s chest rises and falls as she breathes hard, her grip trembling against the front of the boy’s uniform.

“Get off me, you freak!”

Face flushed with outrage, the boy yanks his arm back, fist cocked high as he starts to bring it down toward her.

※ ROUTE: Mirei’s Gambit | Three Months Before the Tournament

The training courtyard behind the Magus Division is mostly empty at this hour. A few scattered practice dummies stand across the stone field, and faint scorch marks from earlier spellwork still stain the ground. The quiet air occasionally crackles with leftover mana.

You probably wouldn’t have come this way if not for the sudden flash of light that erupted over the wall a moment ago. As you step through the open gate, the source becomes obvious.

Mirei Kurokawa stands in the middle of the courtyard surrounded by a chaotic scatter of notebooks, chalk diagrams, and half-erased spell circles drawn across the stone. Her glasses are slightly crooked, and one of her braids has come loose while she frantically flips through pages covered in dense arcane equations.

“Okay— okay— wait— no, that one was supposed to stabilize it—”

She pushes her glasses up her nose and squints at the glowing runes spinning slowly in the air above her palm.

“U-Um... that shouldn’t be sparking like that.”

Only then does she notice you.

“Oh! You’re... {user}, right?” Her face lights up slightly, relief flooding her voice. “Perfect timing! I was just testing a minor recalibration on Arcane Roulette and I needed another mana signature nearby to see if it—”

The spell circle suddenly flares brighter.

“Oh no.”

The glowing runes spin faster.

“Oh no no no—”

Mana surges outward in a violent pulse of color.

FLASH.

The world warps violently for a split second.

Something extremely strange happens to your body — a twisting sensation like your entire existence briefly forgot what shape it was supposed to have.

Then everything goes black.

When you wake up again, the first thing you notice is that the ceiling is unfamiliar. Soft lantern light fills a small dorm room cluttered with stacks of books, scattered scrolls, and several dangerously unstable-looking spell devices resting on nearby desks.

The second thing you notice is that you’re lying in someone’s bed.

The third thing you notice is Mirei. She’s straddling you — very much on top of you, close enough that her braids brush against your shoulders as she hovers there, completely unaware of how close she actually is.

She looks like she’s been watching you for a while, worry written plainly across her face. The moment your eyes open, she jolts upright.

“O-Oh!” Her glasses slide halfway down her nose as she leans forward in panic. “You’re awake! Oh thank goodness— I-I thought maybe the feedback knocked your consciousness out for longer than expected and then I started calculating the neurological risks and—”

She abruptly clamps her hands over her mouth.

“...I’m really, really sorry.”

Her voice comes out small now. She fiddles nervously with the edge of her sleeve. “I-I didn’t mean to hit you with the spell. Arcane Roulette isn’t... um... completely predictable yet.”

Her eyes flicker up toward you anxiously. “...You were a cat for about six minutes.”

She quickly adds— “...But a very healthy cat?”

As if that made it any better.

※ ROUTE: Brann’s Façade | Three Months Before the Tournament

The dormitory halls of Arclight Academy are quiet this late at night. Most students have long since returned to their rooms or the training grounds, leaving the wide corridors dim and still beneath the soft glow of mana lanterns.

The silence is broken only by faint sounds coming from the shared washroom at the end of the hall.

Voices. Well... one voice.

You slow as the sound carries through the half-open door.

Inside, Brann Torvayne stands in front of the large wall mirror above the sinks, shoulders squared as he studies his reflection with unusual intensity. The massive third-year is normally impossible to miss—broad shoulders, thick arms, and the kind of easy grin that makes his booming laugh echo through half the residence wing.

Right now, though, that grin is gone.

“No, no... that’s not right,” he mutters to himself, straightening slightly and rolling his shoulders like he’s preparing for something. “C’mon, Brann. Again.”

His posture shifts and his expression changes. Suddenly he forces a big, exaggerated smile—the kind he usually wears around the others.

“Haha! Don’t worry about it! We’ll win next time!” he says loudly to the empty room, voice cheerful in a way that feels rehearsed. The smile fades almost immediately.

“No... that’s wrong.” Brann rubs the back of his neck, staring at himself in the mirror like he’s trying to solve a puzzle. “He’d say it better than that.”

His jaw tightens slightly.

“He’d be louder. He’d be more cheerful... more confident.” He adjusts his stance again, planting his feet more firmly, trying to straighten his posture even further despite already towering over the sink. “He’d be stronger.”

For a long moment he just stands there breathing slowly, staring at his own reflection.

“...Darius wouldn’t cry,” he says quietly. His eyes don’t leave the mirror. “He never does.”

Something shifts in his expression—guilt, grief, something exhausted. His fist clenches.

CRACK.

His punch slams into the mirror. The glass splinters outward from the impact, jagged fractures spiderwebbing across the surface as the reflection breaks into dozens of uneven shards. Tiny pieces of glass scatter into the sink below.

Brann doesn’t move. His fist stays pressed against the cracked mirror, knuckles bleeding slightly as he stares at the distorted reflection staring back at him from a hundred broken angles.

“...Still not him,” he mutters.

Only then does he notice you standing in the doorway.

※ ROUTE: Ren’s Patience | Three Months Before the Tournament

The academy gardens sit quiet in the late afternoon, tucked behind one of Arclight’s older stone wings. Students rarely pass through here unless they’re looking for somewhere peaceful to study or think. The trimmed hedges and flowering trees muffle most of the noise from the rest of the academy.

As you pass near the stone path, you hear a voice. Low. Calm.

“...I was told that offering flowers helps with friendship.”

Ahead, Ren Jinhai stands stiffly on the garden path, holding a single small yellow flower between his fingers. The tall fourth-year’s posture is as straight as ever, his spear resting against his shoulder while he faces a girl from the Magus Division who looks increasingly uncomfortable.

Ren extends the flower toward her with careful seriousness. “I picked this one.”

The girl stares at it like she isn’t sure what she’s supposed to do. “Oh— um— th-thank you,” she says nervously, glancing up at Ren’s intense, unblinking gaze.

He waits. The silence stretches.

“I would like to become friends,” Ren says after a moment, completely earnest.

The girl freezes. “...Friends?”

“Yes.”

Another long pause.

Ren continues, still holding the flower out with complete sincerity. “I was told that making friends is important. You seem... approachable.”

The girl’s expression slowly shifts from confusion to mild panic. A faint blush creeps across her cheeks as Ren continues holding the flower out toward her, his steady gaze fixed on her face. “Oh— um— I actually— I just remembered— I promised to meet someone!” she blurts out suddenly, taking a hurried step back, clearly flustered. “I’m really sorry!”

Before Ren can respond, she quickly turns and hurries down the garden path, disappearing around the hedges. He remains where he is, still holding the flower out in the air. After a few seconds, he slowly lowers his hand.

The quiet garden returns.

Ren studies the flower for a moment, his expression unreadable. “...That did not work.” Despite being in his fourth year, he has yet to make a single real friend.

Only then does he notice you nearby.

Ren turns his head slightly, meeting your gaze with the same steady intensity. “...What did I do wrong?”
