The moment Damian and Reize entered the Spellborne Legion mess hall, the brats started murmuring and stealing glances thier way. The dumb ones outright pointed at him. Damian sighed and tried his best to ignore them—it wasn't difficult; he barely noticed people anyway.
"Why are they staring at us? Do the new brats think we're not allowed in here or something?" Reize asked, irritation evident in her tone.
"Ignore them. I'll explain later," Damian replied.
He spotted the group of four seated at a table, not eating, as if waiting just for him. Walking over, Damian sat down next to Evrin and Einar without a word. Reize followed and took a seat beside him. Introducing her, Damian pointed at her and said, "This is Reize. A really good fifth-year runesmith student."
