Andrey finished his lesson with the scholar with pleasure.
When saying goodbye, Lyle still chickened out a bit.
"Mr. Dragon asked me to remind you to attend the Spirit Summoning Studies class later, it's tonight, the usual place."
Was it a case of the old flame showing up just as he had found a new love?
It wasn't until Andrey descended to the basement level that his unease finally subsided.
Gently pushing open the old classroom door, he saw silhouettes upon silhouettes standing on the seats. As Lyle moved, his gaze followed; by now, he wasn't that frightened anymore. Shuishui even extended a tentacle to greet them, and incidentally straightened the hat of the classmate standing by the door.
The classmate didn't say anything, simply took off the hat and scraped off the slime clinging to its surface with his bone magic wand.
