After agreeing to enter the academy, Vaan and Helia Ashenborn enjoyed their meal over some idle talk.

It wasn't something a commoner could enjoy, and it wasn't something any noble household could enjoy every day either.

By keeping the rest of her body healthy, she could at least slow down the spread of the second-stage antimagic spores that fused with her hands.

Tomorrow, Vaan was going to visit the academy.
