"Institute of the Fallen? Isn't that the place where Anti-Leonus and all his goons are from?" Nois asked.

"Vincent too! They all said they were from there!" Gaven yelled as he ran into the room. "All of our Antis go to the Institute of the Fallen, it seems!"

"Doesn't that mean... The Institute of the Fallen is the Anti-Academy of Heroes?" Rachel chimed in from Iva's shoulder. "That could be dangerous... If the entirety of the Institute of the Fallen attacked the Academy of Heroes before we were prepared, we would have no chance of winning..."

"Not to mention that weird stuff happens here everyday..." Iva said, placing a hand to her chin, thinking out loud. "No one on the outside would be able to tell we were being invaded... Meaning the Academy would become their base of operations in the Original world!" Iva gasped, realizing they were the first targets.

Anti-Iva could only nod in agreement. "I-I believe so... Th-The plan was never e-explained fully to us... W-We were only told t-to follow orders..." she said.

"But why the Virens house first?" Gaven chimed in. "If they want to take over the entire Academy, wouldn't they attack all at once? Why only us?"

Iva scoffed. "Probably just to piss us off... That Anti-Leonus has been nothing but a pain in my neck since we first met..."

"Or maybe there's something that we have that they need..." Nois said, thinking. "What's different about the Virens house compared to the other houses?"

"We're manly, were in last place for a LONG time, and have very few members who actually show up to our house meetings~." Iva chimed quickly, before thinking about what she was saying.

"Last... Very few..." Anti-Iva muttered aloud, just low enough so people couldn't hear. "M-Maybe they believe you're an e-easy target?" she said, just as blissfully as Iva.

Both Nois and Gaven covered their faces with their palms. "You know, you two are so incredibly alike, it's hard to believe you're supposed to be opposites..." Nois said to Iva and Anti-Iva.

Rachel gasped. "Maybe that's it?" she said. "Maybe Virens is the target because... Our Anti-selves aren't completely different from us."

Anti-Iva blinked, smiling at Rachel as a tear fell from her face. "You r-remind me of her, too..." she said.

"Ah, that's right! We were in the middle of your story!" Iva yelled. "Sorry, please continue!"

Anti-Rachel lead Anti-Iva back to the crowd of people, arriving before the figure was able to finish his speech. Soon after arriving, Anti-Iva was able to recognize, and even name, some of the figures in the crowd. It was like a small bit of her memory was returning, although she was sure she had no memories at all not more than an hour beforehand.

"... and that is why we are here! Your Original is no more than scum who would toss you aside without a second thought! The Originals will, without exception, tear apart each and every Anti, such as you and me! We will show them no mercy, and we will take back our freedom!" the figure finished, a roaring cheer coming from those who were still listening. Many of the younger Antis simply stood by and watched.

However, there was one Anti that Anti-Iva could see, who appeared to be about her age. That young boy was cheering for the figure, even though he was promoting the mass slaughter of an entire world... Anti-Iva could feel a strange aura emanating from the boy... One that would certainly only grow to be worse over time.

Soon after the figure finished talking, the crowd was allowed to exit the room. Anti-Iva stayed close to Anti-Rachel, seeing as how she still didn't know much about what was going on. She didn't have a home, as far as she knew.

"Come on, you can stay with me, sis~!" Anti-Rachel said, dragging Anti-Iva along. "I'm sure Ma and Pa will be happy to see you're here~!"

"S-Sis?" Anti-Iva mimicked. She knew the meaning of the word, but were the two of them really related? It didn't seem likely, they didn't even look that alike... Perhaps she meant it in a different way.

"Well, my Original is the twin sister of yours, so we must be related somehow~!" Anti-Rachel replied quickly. "Besides, Ma and Pa look like the kind of people who would love two daughters~!"

"Y-Your Original?" Anti-Iva mimicked again. She wasn't sure what else to say. She still had the mind of a shy seven year old, and didn't know anything about the world she was in, nor about who she was.

"Yeah, what are you a parrot?" Anti-Rachel said, playfully. "I'll explain later. It's starting to get late, so we have to get home! If night falls, then we'll be noticed by everything!" she said, pulling Anti-Iva around a few corners, into a large home.

Close behind them, the boy with the strange aura followed.

"Hmmm... So much potential in these two..." he whispered to himself. "... But the potential is wasted on the shy one... She will never learn to unlock her strength if she is babied like that... Perhaps I will 'assist' her in awakening her true self..." he said with a calm, collected smile. "She will be grateful... When the time comes..."
