"You're sure we won't get caught?"
Cale asked Amaris as he pushed the leaves of the big bushes out of his way. They had to leave their base in the underground tunnels of Gotem Town without waiting for Reyna to wake up.
Perez, who had stayed behind, had left Reyna with him, saying he would take care of everything. The reason for their early return was that it was nearing noon.
It would have been bad for them to be caught leaving the academy without permission. That's why Cale was asking Amaris.
"Do you know how many times I've snuck out? Nothing has happened so far."
Amaris' statement was arrogant, but she was right. Up to now, when he had gone sneaking out at night, it hadn't been a problem for Amaris to re-enter the academy after she had finished her work. But there was something else Amaris hadn't told Cale, and that was that Amaris went in before sunrise.
