Almond pressed the button and found himself back in the small room.
"…"
He was a bit speechless that he returned here instead of like a hall or some other place of the academy.
"Yo, when am I leaving this place? At least open the door."
Almond had already tried to open the only door in the room many days ago, and he couldn't open it.
*Poof*
Suddenly, a sparkling smoke manifested from which a cat emerged.
"Big D. I won. I not only placed top 10, but first rank," Almond grinned. "Now, you gotta fulfill your promise."
"That I will."
Big D walked slowly in the air towards Almond while its eyes flickered, showing a screen that showed Lily and others in the Garden of Peace of his castle.
"Lily!" Almond blinked, his fist clenched. "What is happening on Earth? She looks so...less cheery than before."
Suddenly, he saw a cat perching on her shoulders and was taken aback. "You are there already, Big D?"
