"Oh, and one more thing…" Neron bobbed his head as he turned in my direction.
"…The only reason that person chose three Familiars that day was because he didn't find any other one that was worth his time."
Neron's smile deepened, and from the way he narrowed his eyes, I assumed he was giving me a hidden meaning to his words.
My eyes bulged the moment I realized what it was!
The one whose record I had surpassed, was none other than my Lecturer himself.
"I look forward to the Exchange, Jared. You grow more interesting by the day. Once you become my disciple… we'll be having quite an interesting conversation."
He opened the door and gave me another kind of smile.
"Looks like you have even more visitors. It's a good thing I decided to leave when I did."
I wanted to speak, but words refused to come out. So, as I watched him exit, I pasted a smile on my face.
