Reaching the location Anna sent me, I spotted them. The trio, Anna, Aria, and Julius were seated in the open cafeteria at Nova Campus.
Nova Campus offered various facilities, including restaurants, cafés, training halls, and more. While the authorities here weren't overly strict, the students were allowed to leave the campus as long as they returned before curfew, which was set at 9:30 PM. It was a good balance of both luxury and freedom in equal measure.
However, there was one rule that remained firm. No student was allowed to leave Frostvile City without Nova's explicit permission. It wasn't a matter of control, it was for their own safety.
Walking towards them, I took in my surroundings. Despite being a café, this place was rather grand and you could easily mistake it for a fancy restaurant.
A calming classical tune played in the background, and in the corner stood a grand piano.
'Is this seriously a café?' I thought.
