Roel's POV
We arrived back at Vall by 11:20 a.m., where we got off and went to that local convenience store to eat some lunch. I got some meat pies for half a Mina each, while Kazaki got a bowl of spicy curry for 1 Mina. Aife, meanwhile, had the same meal as mine. We, of course, had some water as our beverages.
As we ate and drank and had a good time, we started talking about our enrollment into Graystadt's prestigious regional academy known as Saint Ken Academy. It was one of Hashi-Tartas' most prestigious schools ever (this was different from the local schools, each municipality has at least one), and I was quite confident that I would be able to get enrollment.
Kazaki, meanwhile, was unsure of his qualification to be a freshman there, but I could help with that.
I can use my family's connections for that.
Aife said that she can enter that academy because of her qualifications and skills, making Kazaki a bit (tiny) envious of her.
"I can help with that, mate," I said to him.
Kazaki then looked at me. "Thanks, man, sure."
Aife saw our close friendship.
