Chiron pretended as if he had not seen her initially. With a surprised look on his face, he turned to her,
"Carla!?"
Carla was a student from his cultivation class. She was the only other person apart from Cablen that had an A-grade Dantain.
She was also the person that had fought with Nora during the test. She was young and immaturity was still very fresh on her face. She was only eight years of age.
Which meant that she was one year younger than Chiron and two years older than Nora.
From the look on her face, she was very excited to see him.
After Chiron had killed the green skinned shadow beast, the elders had concluded that those that survived the incident were allowed to be considered graduates of the academy.
This was done as means to persuade the clan of its current loss.
