After a moment, he stepped out of the Gate. A radiant smile stretching his lips, he glanced at his surroundings. However, before he could draw a complete picture of them, the heated voices of a short mage and a lady holding a cat attracted his attention.
An icy shudder ran down his spine as he noticed the woman's ethereal beauty, silver hair, and cheerful smile hidden behind her angry pout.
'N-No... NO!'
A scream, coming straight from his soul, rocked his inner peace into oblivion. How could he not recognise her and the cat he had bought himself? It was Nova!
'Why is she here? When I finally could relax and focus on training away from the kids!'
Determined to leave before she noticed him, the mage's exasperated tone reached his ears.
"Come here, boy! I must check your documents."
'Shit...'
With no choice but to follow the rules, he walked to them, eying Nova's curling lips.
