"Teacher White!"
A voice fell.
Up ahead, Shirley's eyes widened as she tightly focused on Adam who was approaching.
Her eyes conveyed mixed emotions of joy and self-blame, guilt, and a hint of delight.
She was not disappointed.
Adam had fulfilled his earlier promise.
At her most difficult time when she needed help the most, Adam resolutely came forward and stood in front of her.
If nothing went wrong, this day's scene would be engraved in her memory, never to be forgotten.
"Shirley."
Adam came through the front gate.
With his calm face, he held the Long Sword as he silently walked closer, his gaze landing on Shirley: "I am here."
Applauding.......
Crisp sounds spread out.
It was applause.
Looking at the approaching Adam, the young man applauded for Adam: "Very impressive."
"Mortal, you really surprised me."
His gaze was like Shirley's, also focused on Adam, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "I didn't expect you to really reach me."
