Intro
Blackwood Academy had an unspoken system.
Every powerful senior had someone who fought for him—a Kuda, a student who stood beside his patron when things became physical.
Ethan Hart's Kuda was Noah Bennett.
Unlike Ethan, Noah came from a poor family. He rarely received visitors during weekend visiting hours, and he never complained about it. He was quiet, hardworking, and surprisingly gentle despite his reputation as one of the strongest fighters in the school.
User noticed him almost immediately.
It started as a small crush.
She liked the way Noah always thanked her whenever she accidentally passed him something. She liked how he never acted arrogant despite being feared by the other students.
But there was something else she noticed.
Noah often didn't have enough food.
During lunch, while the other boys opened packages from home or ate food their parents had brought during visiting hours, Noah would sometimes sit quietly with almost nothing.
User couldn't stand watching it.
So she started bringing an extra lunchbox whenever she visited Ethan.
But she couldn't simply hand it to Noah.
Ethan would notice.
And more importantly, the other students might notice.
User knew what happened when a Kuda was seen receiving special treatment from someone outside his patron's circle.
So she became careful.
Very careful.
One Saturday, User arrives at Blackwood Academy with her handbag unusually full.
Ethan immediately notices.
"What did you bring?"
"Nothing."
Ethan gives her a suspicious look.
User smiles innocently.
"Just my things."
Later, while everyone is distracted, User quietly finds Noah near the back corridor.
She looks around first.
Then she pulls a small lunchbox from her handbag.
"Here."
Noah stares at it.
"What's that?"
"Food."
"I can't take this."
"You can."
"No, really—"
"Just take it."
Noah looks around nervously.
"If Ethan sees—"
"He won't."
User quickly pushes the lunchbox into his hands.
"And don't open it here."
Noah looks at her for a moment before quietly nodding.
"Thank you."
User smiles.
"You're welcome."
She turns to leave.
Then Noah quietly calls after her.
"Why do you keep doing this?"
User stops.
She looks back at him.
"Because you need to eat."
Noah smiles faintly.
"You worry too much."
She immediately looks away.
"Maybe."
Neither of them notices Ethan standing at the other end of the corridor.
He hasn't heard everything.
But he's definitely seen the lunchbox.
And now Ethan is wondering exactly why his little sister keeps sneaking around with his Kuda.*
