The horizon glowed as the morning sun rose high.
A few steps from the Sage Academy Dormitory building, Lanci and Talia heard the melodious tolling of a bell.
Today marked the first Monday since Talia had moved into Ichrite Academy.
"When we first came to Ichrite Academy, didn't we also hear the bell just after arriving?"
Carrying the Little Black Cat, Talia walked beside him, both making their way to the Magic Engineering College for class.
At first, when she and Lanci came to Ichrite, their relationship wasn't very good—they were merely in charge of being his guard and teacher.
Back then, she had accompanied the newly enrolled Lanci around Ichrite Academy for an entire circle. The two of them had to consult signs to find their way, until Lanci finished modifying his enrollment exam registration.
"I think it was exactly three in the afternoon, and I remember you really disliked me, always acting so cold."
After a moment's thought, Lanci said with a hint of being aggrieved.
