The next day early in the morning, Sheila awoke and went to the toilet to wash her face before leaving the house to jog. After having leveling system in her life, she has gotten used to waking up early in the morning to do a \'simple\' daily quest. Sheila remembers the first time she had gotten the quest and almost fail because she\'s not really a morning type of person. If she were just a bit later by a few seconds, she would have been sent to the Penalty. That was also the first time she had ever feel so exhausted other than playing games all day long. (Yes, it\'s a day, not night.)

The morning jog has been very peaceful as most people who have woken up by now would probably ready to work or to go to school. Sheila didn\'t understand why some students go to school so early in the morning, is it because they wanted to copy their friend\'s homework? They should be like her— goes to school late yet still have the gal to copy Ria\'s homework before the homeroom teacher steps into the classroom. She didn\'t remember how many times she was caught and scolded by the teacher, but who cares about that.

When Sheila steps inside the house, her nose was assaulted by a very delicious smell. Sheila didn\'t even need to look for the source as she could tell it came from the kitchen and as she expected, she walked in and saw her mother in a pink apron accompanied by Celia next to her. Sara looked back and saw her daughter walking in with a plain jogging outfit she had seen for the past week.

"Jogging again this early in the morning? I thought you would have gotten tired of it by now. Anyways, go and take a bath. Once you\'re done, bring Ria here with you."

"Mhm."

Sheila nodded her head in response and went upstairs to her room for a bath. When Sheila was on the way to her room, she walked passed the room Ria\'s staying, and she could hear a noise coming from it, perhaps Ria is already awoken. Not wanting to disturb her only to waste time, she decides to head back first. 

Thirty minutes later, once all dressed up and before she steps out of her room, Sheila didn\'t forget to check her bag just in case she might miss something. After everything is all ready, Sheila walked out of her room and was about to head for Ria\'s room but only to see Ria also getting out of her room. When the two met each other eyes, they awkwardly laughed before nodding to each other and went downstairs to the kitchen.

"Did you play games all night again?"

"So sudden? What do you mean?"

"I mean, you look happy today, am I wrong?"

"Well, you are right but wrong too. I\'m indeed happy but not because gaming all night—no, I did play, but I swear I didn\'t stay all night! Don\'t look at me with those eyes! I was happy about something else, okay?!"

Sheila feels like her heart getting pierced by a spear when she saw Ria\'s weird gaze at her. After she did a lottery once, she DID end up gaming all night because of how happy she is with the results. Like any other days, the moment when her soul returned to her body, it\'s already early in the morning. Since she still has some energy left, she decides to head out and do some daily quest and get some sleep right after. Sheila is very much glad about the time difference in the Trial Tower; she would probably end up sleeping in the class like back in the days if she didn\'t have it.

When you\'re exhausted, it\'s easy to fall asleep right? That\'s what happened to her right after she did the daily quest. Although she has a pretty high vitality compared to ordinary people, it didn\'t mean that she won\'t get exhausted at all. Even so, she could technically stay awake for a whole day without any problem with that high amount of vitality, but she didn\'t want to do that and decides to get some sleep instead, three hours should be enough for her.

"So, what is it about?"

"Hehehe~ I wonder if I should tell you~?"

Sheila couldn\'t help but wanted to tease Ria when she thought about the mask that she got from the lottery. It was something that Ria wished for, after all. Oh God, I\'m so bad, I think I might be making smug face right now seeing how Ria is staring weirdly at me. 

"Is that so? You don\'t need to tell me if you don\'t want to."

Leaving such word behind, Ria walks faster ahead, leaving Sheila stunned for a few seconds before she snapped back and went after her.

"Wait! Ria! I was just teasing you!"

But before she could explain further, Ria already arrived in the kitchen, and she has no choice but to went and sits beside the stoic Ria. Even while eating, Sheila keeps on sending glance toward Ria, but the latter ignored her. Her family and Celia thought the two were just having their regular small fight, which was why they act like they didn\'t see it. They were used to see such a scene because most of the times, it seemed that Ria was upset toward Sheila regarding homework. They thought that today too was also like that, Sara couldn\'t help but shook her head at her daughter helplessly.

"Wait for me, Ria! I told you I was just teasing you a while ago!"

Seeing Ria not waiting for her while she was wearing her shoes, Sheila hastily donned her shoes before chasing after Ria. On their way to school, Sheila tried her best to appease Ria, but the latter didn\'t respond in any of her attempts. In the end, Sheila gives up and silently followed right behind Ria.

When the bell rang, the students immediately sprint as fast as they could to the \'battlefield\'. If one were too late, they would be left behind with nothing more and could potentially end up dead. But to Sheila and Ria, they didn\'t care about the students who ran passed them toward the cafeteria in haste. In fact, Sheila was more worried about the stoic girl next to her. Even till lunch, it appears that Ria was still upset with her. 

Even in class, when the others greeted her, Ria responded normally and would still ignore Sheila whenever she tried to interrupt in the conversation. It becomes awkward when that happens, so Sheila stopped and just stay silent next to her with her shoulders dropped. Thankfully Angelica didn\'t disturb them and mind her own business, but that didn\'t seem to last long as Sheila could feel a familiar presence following right behind her. If the familiar presence didn\'t come from her class, she would have thought it was Yuna.

Looking at the overly long line waiting for them at the cafeteria, Sheila went up to Ria and said.

"Umm, why don\'t you find a seat and I\'ll get you food?"

Ria stares at the long line before moving toward Sheila and walks toward an empty seat without saying anything back. It took a while, but Sheila finally got the meals on the trays and went toward where Ria is sitting. 

"Here."

After putting the tray for Ria in front of her, Sheila went and sat next to her. Sheila picked up the spoon and was about to eat her food when suddenly, Ria let out a sigh before saying.

"So, what was it?"

Ria could see Sheila\'s eyes sparkling when she heard her speaking. But before she said anything, Sheila looked around and frowned when she saw some people looking at them. Though it\'s kind of obvious that she couldn\'t show the faceless mask right in this place, but she thought that Ria would believe in her word if the proof is right in front of her, that seems unlikely since there are eyes staring at them, especially the noteworthy red hair. 

Without a choice, Sheila went closer to Ria before whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear. When she finished her part, Ria suddenly got up and shouted.

"Really?! Are you sure?! This is not a lie, right? I would be super pissed if you\'re lying to me right now."

"Shh! I\'m not lying; it\'s the truth. You should know that right now is not a good place for that. I will show you later after school."

Looking at her surroundings, Ria realised that she was currently in the cafeteria of her school and saw other students staring at their table due to her sudden squealed. Ria immediately gets down and sat with a blushed on her face due to embarrassed. Sheila just laughed at her before saying that she would definitely show it later for sure when Ria \'glare\' at her.
