When they were alone, Aicel calmed down somewhat. The pressure of the SS-class espers remained, but the two were not present, so it lessened significantly.
The two stared at each other. Ayen's expression, devoid of any expression, made Aicel's lips twitch in annoyance.
"Still high and mighty, I see."
Aicel's lips curled ever so slightly, making the movement barely noticeable. His eyes filled with malicious intentions, he looked at Ayen up and down.
"You already hooked up with them, huh?" Aicel chuckled in ridicule. "Letting you run outside is their worst decision."
Ayen stared at Aicel, guessing the implications of his words. He did not know why they were so adamant about chasing him. Although, Ayen assumed it was their one-sided grudge when they were young. Or some elders taking a liking to him.
However, seeing Aicel now confirmed a far deeper reason. Based on his words and how he reacted, he was not overly surprised that Ayen was with Khal and Devion.
