"It's nothing much; I just wanted to make sure that you'd reject her at the welcome party later."
"…Why?"
His once blank face showed a grin.
"Because I won't allow a student of mine to chase someone's shadow."
Emir stood up and began to head towards the exit.
"Also, do expect me and the principal to come by the party; prepare good food."
"What?! The principal?!"
Ignoring her once again, he left the place and bumped into Lily, who stood just before the tent's flaps.
"Ah, you're done?"
"Yeah…"
[I just wanted to make sure of a few things before the first minor disaster.]
He answered her unspoken question telepathically, knowing that it was what she was after.
[Bad news?]
[Good news.]
[Great! Just don't traumatize the new kids; all the blood might… you know.]
[Anything you say~.]
Emir patted her head and joined Ragnar, who stood waiting a tent away.
"Where's Mag?"
