"Huh?" Briefly blanking out in response to the young man's words, the director took a while to snap back to reality as he looked at Valyr with a frown. "…Surely, you must be joking, right?"
"As far as I know, Vylhalteinn is currently busy at the frontlines," the man continued, his tone now containing a hint of reprimand. "Unless you have a way for him to appear in this hall at this very moment, it wouldn't be wise to say something like that."
"Oh? But what if he did have a way for me to appear here?"
Hearing someone respond to his question, the director was slightly startled. Nevertheless, he remained calm as he looked at the direction of the voice, only for his expression to turn into that of shock as he recognized the one talking to him.
"V-Vylhalteinn!"
"That's my name, alright," replied Hal, nodding as he grinned. "Vylhalteinn Impyris, Elite Lesser Elder of the Melion Kingdom Sage Guild."
"As well as a good friend of Ylvar right here."
