The sky brightened, and the birds that stood perched on the branches began to sing.
Fike rubbed his sleepy eyes before stretching. It was already morning.
He hadn't slept well last night.
His dreams had been about everything that had happened over the past few days.
After washing up simply, he got dressed and left the dorm.
Along the way, he spotted many students rushing about in school uniforms. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to change into his own.
However, by now, it was too late to go back and change.
He cringed as he decided to bite the bullet, and went on ahead to the classroom.
Fike walked into the mage class, finding a seat at random before sitting down.
Just as he did, he noticed that Zelle had also entered after him.
They looked at each other tacitly, but did not communicate as the girl deliberately chose a seat far away from him.
