"Good morning, Teacher Lucan."
As Lucan stepped into the staff dining hall, he was greeted by Xue Lan, the biology teacher, who offered him a polite nod while stirring her tea leisurely.
"Good morning, Teacher Xue," Lucan replied, his voice slightly stiff as he made his way to a nearby table.
"Are you on break today as well?" Xue Lan asked casually, taking a sip of her tea.
"Yes. I finished up all my work yesterday, even though it was supposed to be my day off," Lucan explained, settling into a chair and stretching his arms. His body felt a bit sore from the extra effort, but he relished the thought of an idle day ahead.
"I see," Xue Lan responded, still gently swirling her tea. "If you're free, would you like to join me at the arena? There's an Under-18 semifinal match today."
