"..." Kael stared at Neraxis in shock, and soon, one of his classmates bumped into him.
"Kael, what the fuck, man? Move—" the student froze, his jaw seemingly dropping to the floor. "Ain't you the dead guy?"
"I'm back?" Neraxis said with a smile. "I've got some stuff to announce, so sit down."
At those words, the student walked to his seat in silence.
The same applied to all the students who came after him, until eventually, three people in particular, caught his eye.
Four girls walked side by side, chatting.
Yet as their gazes landed on Neraxis, all four of them froze, their eyes widening.
"Neraxis?" Aella called out, shocked.
"Oh shit, so you're not dead..." Eris remarked in disbelief.
And of course, there was Aurelia, whose tears began to stream down her face. "You're back..."
Lastly, Celina.
She merely stared at him, conflicted, unsure of how to react.
