As I was about to enter the door with Alice, the door opened. For a moment I thought it would be Astrid,
but when I saw that it was a handsome man, my face twisted. I knew this guy well: it was Doran, my magical circulation instructor. A class that taught you how to circulate mana efficiently and be faster at conjuring spells or arts.
It was useful for both warriors and mages, and very popular, too. Girls loved it because the instructor was extremely handsome. The worst part was that this idiot was the son of the former Duke Argent ,
which made him technically Astrid's stepson, despite being about the same age. His brother is the current Duke.
I didn't think anything of it at first, but then Astrid complained to me that Doran was courting her, despite being her stepmother.
