"Amon, let's eat together, I made a little too much today and I didn't know if you would bring food or not, so I brought it for you," Barbara said softly.
Amon intended to go eat in the canteen, but upon hearing her proposal, he didn't refuse, as he was taught not to waste food. Since she made too much and brought it to him, Amon wouldn't make an objection, "I accept, thank you."
It was strange to see him thanking her, especially when he didn't show emotions on his face, but it made Barbara's heart as sweet as honey.
"..."
Maísa was going to invite Amon to eat in the canteen with her and Julia, but seeing this and hearing Amon accept and say thank you, somehow made her heart feel sour. She turns her face with a solemn expression, and soon she leaves to the next room to meet her sister.
"I know a good place to eat, shall we?" Barbara was very proactive.
The other girls decided to approach Amon and lost the chance since Barbara was practically on top of him, and they didn't even know what to say to him. Initially, they thought about talking to him by saying congratulations on winning the tournament, but the last girl who tried this approach only got a nonchalant "Mm" response from Amon and the conversation died there.
"Mm." Amon nodded, his expression neutral, and followed her with his hands in his pants pocket.
Walking down the hall with Barbara at his side, Amon suddenly frowned, he noticed that many people were looking at him but, realizing that people weren't doing anything, he ignored them.
She chose a very isolated place, it was a bench that could seat a maximum of 4 people.
"See? Like I said, a perfect spot, right?" She looked proud as she said it.
Amon didn't understand why she was proud of something so simple, but nodded with a neutral expression: "Mm."
In a cloth bag, she took out two lunchboxes that were compressed in two like a tower, she divided them and handed the top one to him.
"Thanks." Amon accepted and she handed him the fork.
"Mm." Amon placed it on his thigh and felt it was still warm; she must have used a warming spell, in fact, he still didn't know what her genetics were.
"Fire?" He muttered.
Barbara seems to have understood and said, "Yes, my genetics are fire. I tried not to burn them, just to increase the temperature of the container like a microwave, I hope it looks good." She said strangely nervous.
Amon didn't see the point in getting mad even if she had accidentally burned it, after all, he was getting it for free from her, but he was silent.
Opening it, he saw some things he liked, like hamburgers and rice and beans on the side. He was weird in that way, he didn't like it to mix despite eating everything together. However, if it mixed a just little it only made him frown, but it didn't bother him much.
"Looks good." Amon was talking about her heating it using genetics.
"Hehe~ I hope the taste is to your liking." Amon's praise made her squirm a little and smile.
Seeing that he started to eat and not say anything, she sighed. She already expected it, but at least he didn't put on an expression of displeasure, so it must be okay, right?
She didn't know, but she hoped so.
The two ate and only talked sometimes.
Barbara tried to talk to Amon, she attempted to ask questions indirectly, she didn't want to be a very invasive woman, but all Amon would answer was 'Mm' or 'Maybe'. She knows Amon won't ignore her if she asks something, but she still wanted him to say something more personal.
"Hmm, are you still at level 20? I remember what you told me last time, but since you won the tournament, I figured you could have gotten better." Barbara asked in curiosity.
"Yes, I have 32 open genes and 31 filled with lightning," Amon replied with a neutral expression. It made it difficult for Barbara to understand if he was proud to reach this level so quickly or not, either way, she was very shocked. After all, she reached level 20 with the help of her rich family and her trying very hard... But the distance between them widened again.
Especially since Amon had 31 genes with lightning filled in, that was insane!
She sighed and thought inwardly, 'I need to work harder!' A determined look appeared on her handsome face.
"Did something good happen?" Amon wasn't good at noticing things when it came to feelings, but he could understand when someone is smiling with a determined look something good must have happened.
"Well, it's not a big deal, just that I was hoping you'd ask me what level my genetics were. But, well, I will answer without you asking, I've reached level 20! And, I filled 6 with flames and it's not just any flames." She shows a proud smile while showing off blue flames.
"Mm, you are right to be proud. Very admirable." Amon nodded indifferently, which made it totally different from the words he said.
Barbara didn't expect a change of expression from him, but was happy to hear what he said and thought that making an effort was good, now she understands a little better what her mother always told her...
"Thanks." She bent down a little to look sideways at his face, letting her beautiful fiery red hair cascade towards the floor.
"Mm." Amon nodded again, his expression neutral, and continued eating.

Inside class 302, Maísa was looking annoyed at Julia who was smiling and made her want to curse.
"Aren't you mad?" Maisa asked.
"Why should I be mad? After all, I'm basically his step-sister, and I have no reason to be mad if he went to lunch with any girl, it's his life after all. There's no reason to be mad, you know?" Her eyes began to lose their spark of life and darken as Julia muttered trying to convince herself, "By the way, I only train with him every morning and have dinner with him every day. Every day I'm close to him, it doesn't matter if he eats with another girl, it doesn't matter... Yes, it doesn't matter."
Then she looked at Maisa, "After all, because with his indifferent way and his facial palsy, they're probably just friends, right? Right?" Julia asked Maisa twice as if once wasn't enough.
"...I don't know, she seemed a lot more interested than just being friends," Maisa said while thinking.
*Thud!*
Julia's head dropped to the table and made a loud noise. Maisa was startled and almost screamed at the sudden sound. She looks confused at her sister and hears her mutter under her breath.
"I see, she doesn't just want to be his friend…well, well, it's his life after all. Who is she? Is she pretty at least? Wait! Don't tell me, I don't want to know, it's none of my business!" Julia spoke very loudly trying to convince herself otherwise and laid her big breasts and her head on the table and didn't feel like talking anymore. Her mind was thinking too many things and she didn't know what was going on that made her heart hurt.
