Two hours later.
Pig stared at the table of mouthwatering dishes, swallowing hard. She glanced at Sean, who barely touched his own food yet kept stealing glances at Keiraâs plate like it was the only thing worth noticing.
Pig sighed dramatically, throwing her hands up. "I admit defeat! From now on, youâre officially number four in the group!"
Before anyone could react, Pig whipped out her phone and sent a message to their group chat: "Rabbitâs cooking is better than mine. I lost. Iâm now number five."
The group immediately erupted.
Cockroach: "Wait, what? You just gave her number four like that? Donât you think thatâs too quick?"
Pig: "She beat me at my specialty. What else is there to say?"
After sending a voice note to clarify, Pig turned to Keira. "Hey, you wanna climb up the rankings?"
Keira blinked. "What?"
Pig leaned closer. "You know Cockroach, right? Sheâs number three. Want to challenge her?"
Keira raised an eyebrow. "Challenge her how?"
Pig didnât hesitate. She typed into the group: "Cockroach, Rabbit wants to challenge you."
Cockroach: "Challenge me? At what?"
Pig turned to Keira, grinning. "Whatâs it gonna be? What do you want to compete in?"
Keira shrugged casually. "Anythingâs fine."
Pigâs eyes lit up. "Can you code?"
Keira: "A little."
"Fight? Like boxing or martial arts?"
Keira: "I know a bit."
"Medical skills? Poison-making?"
Keira: "Somewhat."
"Music?"
Keira: "A little bit of that too."
Pig clapped her hands together. "Alright, then martial arts it is! Cockroachâs fighting skills are insane."
And just like that, Pig sent another message: "Rabbit wants to spar with you!"
Keira: "...Excuse me?"
Cockroach responded with a laughing emoji: "Spar with me? Does she even know who I am?"
Pig turned to Keira, as though just remembering. "Oh, right! You probably donât knowâCockroach is a protĂ©gĂ© of the world boxing champion. Sheâs incredible, and honestly, you donât stand a chance. Plus, youâd have to go to her place if you really want to challenge her..."
Keira froze for a moment, her expression unreadable. "Who did you say her mentor was?"
Pig tilted her head. "The world champion, why?"
Keiraâs tone was calm. "Isnât that the same person who came to Crera to challenge Freeman Sectâs Senior Sister and got knocked out by her?"
Pigâs eyes widened. "Wait... how do you know that? Oh! Cockroach did mention that! She said this Senior Sister is her idolâcompletely wiped the floor with her mentor. Hey, do you know who this Senior Sister is?"
Keiraâs lips twitched. "...Itâs me."
Pig froze. Then, her head whipped around to Lewis, as though for confirmation.
Lewis, entirely unfazed, said, "Sheâs telling the truth."
Pigâs jaw dropped. She fumbled with her phone before frantically typing in the group chat: "Cockroach, Rabbit is the Senior Sister!"
Cockroach: "What Senior Sister?"
Pig: "The Freeman Sectâs Senior Sister!"
Cockroach: "Are you kidding me? Is this confirmed?"
Keira sighed, pulled out her Special Division ID card, and snapped a photo. She sent it to the group.
The chat went silent for two whole minutes.
Then Cockroach finally replied: "Hello, Three. Iâm number four now."
Keira stared at the message, speechless.
Pig grinned. "Wow, youâre amazing! You climbed the ranks so fast! Want to challenge Cobra next?"
Keira frowned. "What would that involve?"
Pig leaned in conspiratorially. "You know Cobra, right? That girlâs vicious. Sheâs an expert in toxicology and medicine, and sheâs behind a ton of viruses spread across the globeâthen sells vaccines to profit off them. The only person sheâs afraid of is Dr. Nora. Theyâve clashed so many times, and Nora knows her poisons inside and out."
Keira raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And do you know who Nora is?"
Pig blinked, suddenly suspicious. "...Donât tell me youâre Nora."
Keira: "Mm-hmm."
Pig: "!!!"
Without another word, Pig grabbed Keiraâs hand. "Second Sister! Youâve gotta challenge Eagle next. If you take her spot, youâll be our team leader. And when we take down Fox, youâll be the heiress to everything!"
Keira sighed deeply, already regretting her decision to join their group. How did things escalate this quickly? She wasnât even sure she wanted to go for the top spot.
After a pause, she asked, "Whatâs Eagleâs specialty?"
