Chapter 111: Another Day in Kraelonia Academy


    A new day would once againe for Han. It was as if the events of yesterday night were nothing but a simple dreamalthough the memory of him and Timothy somehow carrying a sleeping Ellynn around brought more good than bad.


    Though he couldn''t exactly quite remember it well for some reason. He must have been very tiredst night.


    Han rubbed his face as he got out of bed and yawned, it was another day of learning and he was earlier than before.


    Timothy wasn''t knocking on his door yet.


    Well, this seemed like a good thing.


    After preparing for a bit, the young man walked out of his room. Compared to yesterday when he had rushed with Timothy to arrive at their first ss, he was able to notice the sight of some other young men and women littered across the Dewrowan Tower.


    Why weren''t they heading to their sses yet? Were sses canceled and he didn''t even catch any wind of it? Well, he would learn of it sooner orter. For now, Han knocked on the door to his friend''s room.


    He knocked once.


    Twice.


    The door wasn''t opening up at all. Had the man overslept or something? "Timothy? Are you awake? Heey!" He continued knocking for about a good minute before the door opened by a crack.


    Timothy gave him a look, "You''re up early. What do you need, Han?"


    "What do I need? We''re going to bete for ss if you don''t get moving!"


    A moment passed before the young man sighed, "Alright, alright. Give me a minute or two." The young man then shut back the door at him without any confirmation.


    Han raised a brow.


    The guy didn''t even bother inviting him in or something at all. If anything, it reminded him of a girl who wished forplete privacyhis friend was a weird dude alright. Han waited for a lot more time than he was actually expecting the guy to prepare for.


    Humming to himself, Han was trying to keep his thoughtspletely glued into the present. He inspected the floor beneath him and the walls, somehow he hadn''t noticed it before or rather he thought he knew that the Kraelonia Academy was a magical kind of building.


    And yet he could feel the currents and waves of energy underneath the floor and right behind the wallsmana.


    [ Skill: Mana Sense Lvl 2! ]


    Dismissing the notification from his vision, Han frowned as he took note of this detail. The entire ce seemed to be running and operating with such high mana levels was this ambient mana or something?


    "You''re actually still alive huh?" A voice called out to him.


    When Han looked up from the floor, he saw Donovan and Sir Leon de Harringtoning his way. The two of them were somewhat rxed although there was a look of some relief that sparked across their faces.


    It seemed like the events yesterday weren''t exactly as forgettable as he assumed when he woke up.


    Han managed a grin, "Why wouldn''t I be alive?"


    Donovan''s eye twitched for a bit, "For someone who didn''t get back into the Academy in time, you''ve got a lot more spunk afterst night."


    He was trying to not actively think of it and yet this guy brought it up. Han scratched the back of his head, "Well didn''t we have a barrier"


    "It broke!"


    "Hush now, Donovan." Sir Leon sighed atst before managing a weak smile, "I''m d to see that you are doing fine, Han. Yesterday was a lot more dangerous than you ought to believe, I''m not sure in which portion of the city you and Timothy ended up, but the Colossal Wyvern was one thing and then there was the mass panic before that."


    Mass panic.


    The memory of a [ Shadow Elf ], [ Light Elf ] and a [ Tiefling ] shed before his mind as Han managed augh, "I think we ended up far from danger, I guess we were lucky enough."


    "I see," Sir Leon de Harrington gave him a nod before smiling slightly, "I''m d to hear that, although what happenedst night here in Dewrowan Tower seemed to have taken more notice than the eventsst night."


    Han blinked for a moment.


    What was he trying? His eyes widened for a moment as more concrete memories came to his mind. Han Jing tried not to internally groan at the memory of him and Timothy asked around for Ellynn''s room.


    "What happened to that [ Half Elf ]"


    The door swung open by a small bit as Timothy finally stepped out of the room, the expression on their face soured at the sight of them.


    "Good morning Timothy, finally dressed and ready to go huh?" Han greeted them with his best grin and avoided Donovan from finishing his question.


    Sir Leon de Harrington chimed in with the greetings as well, "A good day to you."


    His friend scratched the back of his neck and sighed, "Good morning, I''m hungry, let''s go to the dining hall, Han." Until today, they didn''t seem to be friendly with the [ Noble ].


    "Now that''s a good decision," Donovan remarked, "I''m starving."


    Sir Leon de Harrington gave a resigned sigh, "Ah, very well. Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day."


    Somehow they managed to dodge the question regarding Ellynn, which was good. He wasn''t sure on how he was going to exin that a [ Mermaid ] sang a luby.


    The four of them would end up heading together to the dining hall together.


    .


    .


    .


    Memories made her head throb painfully when Ellynn bolted out from her bed. From her bed? She blinked and looked around the room and frowned this wasn''t some illusion?


    She had ended up back in her own room after yesterday?


    shes of lightning and thunder filled her mind as she pressed a hand on her temple. She took a heavy sigh and managed to quell the annoying pain she was experiencing as she recalled the memories yesterday.


    During their lessons under Professor Liddell, the wind had started to be aggravated and restless, it was more aggressiveand there had only been one possible reason why something like that would ur.


    Her father was around the area.


    And when she finally received a [ Whisper of the Wind ] that solidified that her father was truly in the area. She had immediately gone out of her way to meet up with him.


    He rarely came around.


    Sometimes, terrible events would ur whenever they meteither by mere coincidence or out of their own doings. And on other asions, things would just be fine. Ellynn could never tell at all what would happen and she would just ensure that nothing drastic happened when he visited.


    Ellynn got down from her bed and as her feet met the cold floor. She remembered something else.


    Her father knew her ssmate and then the Colossal Wyvern urreda torrent of emotions swirled around her as she made her way out of her room.


    Just in time as another room opened up and a ginger haired young woman stepped out. Penelope Primrose''s gaze flickered towards her before the young woman turned away from her and called out back into her room, "Angelika hurry up, Sir Leon and Timothy are probably in the dining hall already."


    Ellynn could do nothing but ept such cold treatment.


    It still hurt, despite how many years older she was than this young womansuch a sting of rejection always seemed to pierce through her heart. Her fingers immediately sped for her hood as she flung it over her head.


    She had almost forgotten all about it.


    Questions swirled her mind and begged for attention. How did her father end up meeting Han? And how did Han even gain her father''s trust? Her father had entrusted the tactics to someone much younger than him and her.


    And though it wasn''t actually bad.


    Luring the Wyvern through the beasts of the forests, it still had failed although if she was alive, then things had worked out didn''t they?


    But that still didn''t change things.


    As far as she had already gotten to encounter the young man within the Academy, he was something like a buffoon.


    A somewhat affable one.


    But a buffoon nevertheless. Scenes of how he had managed to defeat Elliot Primrose was such an unorthodox method that made her shake her head. And yet he was also someone who recklessly faced a Colossal Wyvern head on.


    Did the young man have some sort of death wish?


    Ellynn would see another young woman leave the room, the older sister of Penelope Primrose and somehow, she was already donning her full armor. But it wasn''t what she had noticedit was the way that the young woman briefly nodded at her.


    And even smiled.


    Ellynn nced behind her to see if somebody else had been around but there was nobody else. But it couldn''t have been directed at her.


    "Finally, that took you too long." Penelope clicked her tongue and shook her head, ncing at her older sister, "Let''s go already."


    "Ah, always impatient, aren''t you, Penny?" Angelikaughed before she linked her arm with the youngerdy. It was a bit weird since they were wearing a gauntlet but Penelope mentioned nothing about.


    The two of them would walk past by her.


    And all she could do was simply watch.
