"Where are we going?"
Not recognizing the area of the Academy they were moving into, Mares asked.
He could smell a strong scent of medicine, chemical products, and ingredients in the area, as such Mares knew he would remember this place had he visited it before. It was also quite far from the main body of the Academy, making him more curious about it.
"The alchemy section. As leaders of your group, you should be the ones to negotiate for the resources, besides the ones that are being offered by the Academy."
She explained, making Mares understand where the smell was coming from.
In reality, that sort of thing was pointless for Stella and Enela. They had been the leaders of their people for a long time and were used to this sort of negotiation. But Mares, who had the same status as them, had no knowledge of such things, so Qiulei felt it was appropriate to have them accompany him and give him pointers if necessary.
