In the Professor lounge, there were currently four professors gathered.
They were known in the world as the 'Famous Four,' the founders of this school and a significant presence in the circus history.
Hopps looked at the teachers sitting in front of him.
It had been almost twenty years since he graduated from here.
Of course, it wasn't his first time seeing them after twenty years.
They had met once at a memorial service after the terror incident, visited once for counselling before the circus troupe was founded, and passed by Yeterinpuurk a few years ago.
But this time felt somehow different.
It was not just that he had aged.
Perhaps it was because he found himself pondering about the future like they had when they were 17.
As he aged, so did the teachers.
