Elwyn stiffened, his professional demeanor crumbling further. "That's irrelevant! The important thing is you've broken the academy record!"

Elwyn groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Fine, fine. Yes, I was eating. But do you know how boring it is waiting here for hours while students struggle through the forest?"
"You mean while students usually struggle through the forest," Mei teased.
