The smoke cleared out. Skyler who was entirely cover in the smoke, coughed repeatedly, his eyes watering from the lingering effect of the explosion.
The explosion caught the attention of someone who was inside. He came in Skyler's vision— gradually becoming more visible as the smoke completely faded.
He emerged, clad in an attire resembling that of the academy students— blue and white, adorned with intricate embroidery. A long blue robe billowed behind him.
The rob was similar to what Skyler had been wearing. However it was slightly different as though infused with mana— possibly a magical item.
He had jade green hair, long till his back, and tied with a waving black ribbon at the end. And behind the round glasses, his emerald eyes shone deeply, carrying an impression of analytical sharpness.
He exuded an air of intelligence, yet his expression held a trace of suspicion as he regarded Skyler with keen curiosity.
