Mortimer Quincy went to the office to hand in his homework. Pantheon glanced at the window; the figure in the dark green jacket had already walked past. He immediately turned around and whispered, "Cousin, team up for a match? It's my promotion match to the next tier. Please, please."
The next period was study hall. Gabe Chaucer had gone into the city for a seminar that morning and wouldn't be coming to check on the class.
Holly Winslow glanced at the test paper she had just finished. The thought of Mortimer Quincy made her hesitate for a moment, but she hadn't played in a while and was itching for a game. "I'll only play one round."
Pantheon nodded at once, saying happily, "Just one round."
It was a five-person team: Anna Willow, Iris Kensington, Holly Winslow, Zeke Zane, and Pantheon.
As usual, Holly Winslow liked to play sniper. Anna Willow and Iris Kensington chose assault rifles to support her, as did Zeke Zane and Pantheon.
