"Why was I dragged here?"
As we stood together in front of a big gate, a grumbling voice echoed beside me, making me glance at Chubby.
"Come on, I paid for your ticket," I replied as the gate opened up, and the guard saluted me.
"And why did you do that?"
he groaned in frustration, walking behind me. "Paying five times the usual price for a teleportation portal wasn't necessary."
"But that's the fastest way we could reach Polarral Earldom," I shrugged, looking around at the garden along the only road that led to the mansion.
"But we had classe—"
"I talked with the principal. He gave permission, now shut the fuck up."
He meekly nodded as I spat, glaring at him.
But then again, he wasn't wrong; we skipped half of today's classes just to be here.
'Three o'clock.'
Taking out my phone, I looked at the time. We can go back to the academy before curfew, which will be at ten tonight.
