"Alright, I understand. But I will provide you with anything you might need to make your come back's stage. Then, after everything has settled down, let's be a business partner." Harlock held out his hand to Alfizar.

{"-don't believe in anyone."} His father said so. He was right, but, shaking hands with other people doesn't mean Alfizar will let down his guard. He just will use them to his advantage, and give them a mutual advantage when he was certain that they are trustworthy, after he gains everything back.

Alfizar reached out his hand to receive that old hand.

"Soon... I will be back soon." And Alfizar totally forgot about Vianzo that night.

There was a lot of rumor about the Elftaf group's origin.

Some say that it was actually a government's company, some others say it was actually a Mafia's company, there's even people saying that the founder of Elftaf group was an exiled member of old Royal family years ago just because the company's name happened to be the same as that exiled prince's name.

But no one knew for sure how such a successful big company comes to be, nor did other know how much suffering of the bearer of such a name. Also, no one knows what Elftaff group really is.

Alfizar sighed heavily as he buried himself in the warm blanket on his bed. They just got back from the restaurant. And just because Harloz reminded him about that name, now Alfizar feel restless.

His name is Alfizar di Elftaf. He never likes that name.

The next day was rainy, they just arrived at GIPEC and have gone to their respective building. Aurina has transferred the important part of the CCTV footage into his phone. And now Alfizar can't wait to find out the reason.

Alfizar was only a hall away from the class when he saw Harloz standing against the wall looking distracted as if he was in a deep thinking. But when his eyes made contact with Alfizar's, he straightened up.

"You are going to do it as soon as you met him?" Harloz asked him.

"You said you won't interfere."

"I won't," Harloz said as he walked away, towards where their class was with Alfizar following from behind.

Things look normal, even Vianzo acted like he usually did. The kind smile, friendly, surrounded by their classmate.

During the whole hours for the class, Alfizar was holding in the complicated feeling he felt. The guy who was sitting beside him concentrating on the teacher was someone he knows from his childhood days. Alfizar sympathized with him for what had happened to his life. Never knowing his mother, abused by his father. Alfizar was much luckier than Vianzo.

That day they eat on lunch break as usual, but Vianzo seems to notice just how silence Alfizar was. If it was the old Alfizar who hasn't seen any vision, Alfizar might have given him more mercy. But after the visions, and the painful emotions of losing Aurina... Alfizar is not as kind as before.

During the lunch break, Vianzo seems to can't hold his curiosity anymore. Dioz and Rachzi also seemed to notice, while Frans was having a hard time to make a joke and conversation with the current atmosphere.

Harloz was not far from them sitting alone as usual, but Alfizar could tell that he was paying attention at them.

"Alfi, is something wrong?" Vianzo asked in a concerned voice. How smooth, his voice was so smooth, sound so sincere.

"Vianzo, I think you owe me an explanation regarding Aurina," Alfizar said as he put down his fork, then looked at Vianzo with an obvious hostile glare. Vianzo was startled, not only him, Rachzi, Frans and also Dioz.

"What explanation?" Vianzo frowned with confusion.

"Did you hit your head and get an amnesia?" Alfizar laughed humourlessly as he took out his phone. "Here, let me help you remember," Alfizar quickly found the CCTV footage and played it. Vianzo's eyes widened in surprise before that eyes also turned hostile without looking away from Alfizar's phone. Dioz was surprised to the point of not being able to say anything, as for Rachzi and Frans, they seem like they have expected it to happen. But the disappointment was glaringly obvious.

"Thi-this..." Dioz stuttered out, as he looked at Vianzo with betrayed eyes.

"How did you get it..." It was not a question, he was demanding an answer. Vianzo's voice was flat without any feeling.

"You do not even bother to deny it?" Alfizar chuckled humourlessly. "I never expect that the kind guy who helped me out on my first day at GIPEC was targetting me and my sister like that."

"How did you get it!" Vianzo snapped at him. His high voice was no longer small, his angry tone attracted many curious eyes around them. But none of them seems to care.

"I have no obligation to tell you." Alfizar snorted, "Say, Vianzo. You lie to me when you said we have never met each other before GIPEC. So tell me, who is that rude boy I called Vi years ago back in my family's house?"

"You remembered..." Vianzo gritted his teeth. "You know... Do you know how much suffering I have to go through just because you f.u.c.k.i.n.g exist!" Vianzo raged out as he suddenly stood up and reached out to pulled the fabrics of Alfizar's clothes close to him, suddenly Alfizar's fist founds its way to his cheek.

"That's for Aurina." Vianzo spat out saliva with a tint of blood in it. His face was red with anger and rushed towards Alfizar, the students around them quickly stood up and get away as tables and chair got turned down in their panic. They stood as far as they could fearing that they would somehow get involved in the fight. But they were unwilling to go from the now messy cafeteria as they now have a good drama to watch.

Vianzo cursed at Alfizar hatefully. Those were words, that the Vianzo they used to know would never use.
