A glove thrown at an individual's face.
Everyone in the cafeteria knew what it meant.
But one person in particular felt enlightened the moment he saw it.
Cassien slowly stood from his seat, "Oh… what's this?" He gave Theodore a thumbs up.
Afterward, he opened his arms dramatically, exaggerating the situation on purpose.
"Could this be a challenge for the great almighty Cid Forge?!"
His voice echoed throughout the cafeteria as whispers immediately spread across the room.
Cassien approached Cid calmly, "What will you do, Cid?! Accept… or reject?!"
Then, while drawing the attention of the students around him, he turned toward the crowd.
"But it would be a real shame if you denied such a challenge."
He paused briefly before turning back toward Cid, making sure his voice carried loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"You are the top-ranked first year after all, aren't you? I'm certain many of us would love to witness your quad-elemental magic abilities in action."
