After spending some time with Abbie, Alex returned with high spirits to the academy. Before she left, Abbie told him that she would be having her Christmas vacation after two weeks.
According to his calculation, it would take a month and a half before Abbie could visit him without worry. Although the two of them had spent the whole day together, Alex still missed his master terribly.
As he entered the academy, he found a couple of students blocking the hallway that led towards his classroom. He could hear a familiar voice in the distance, but it lacked its usual domineering arrogance.
"Aren't you going to apologize to me?" a boy with blonde hair and light-gray eyes asked the chubby boy in front of him. The blonde boy was quite handsome, and some of the girls watching the argument were looking at him with reddened faces.
"Why should I apologize? I did nothing wrong." Adam replied.
