"Hey, I know we've been talking a lot about Lux lately, but have you heard the latest rumors?" In the academy café, the whispers about campus gossip began immediately after breakfast was over.
"The only thing I've heard about that guy in the last few hours is that he brings bad luck. Some say he's cursed, but isn't that normal? He's a Lux—all Luxes are cursed."
"True, true. It still surprises me that there are people willing to team up with him. After Lander's death, no one should want to anymore. I don't get them."
"Well, there's some new news." The one who started the conversation sat up straight and leaned in toward his friends. "Do you remember Albey and Andre, the 4-Star brothers?"
"The seniors from Regiment 85?"
"Those very ones. Well, they're dead."
"Huh? Did both of them die?" Those who heard him couldn't help but turn to look at them.
"Yes. What's more, they died on a joint mission with Edward Lux's group. Their bodies couldn't be recovered."
