Lucan was having tea at his room when someone knocked at his door. He got up and opened the door.
It was the dormitory manager, with a respectful bow, her hands holding a small, neatly sealed envelope.
"Oh, Lucan-sama. You have some mail."
"Eh? For me?" Lucan replied, taking the envelope with a slight frown. Who could it be from? he wondered, turning the envelope over in his hands.
Lucan broke the seal and unfolded the letter. As his eyes scanned the sender's name, his frown deepened. The letter was from Terra, an old friend from his academy days.
"Really... what could this be about now? Summoning me out of the blue," Lucan muttered under his breath, shaking his head in disbelief.
