Lucien found himself back in the Headmaster's office once more.
This time, he and Vivian had been invited by Ellen herself to join her for lunch.
Before heading inside, Lucien took a moment to dismiss the Silvermine Guards. He offered them his thanks and some gifts.
Ellen had promised to personally ensure his safety and even accompany him later to the Silvermine estate.
To ease any worries, she handed the guards a token that would serve as proof for Edric and Maxim.
Though reluctant, the guards eventually nodded. With Ellen being a Tier 8 mage, they knew Lucien was in far better hands than theirs.
Meanwhile, Thornel's group had been taken to the infirmary. None of them had regained consciousness yet.
Before Vivian left for her afternoon classes, Lucien turned to her with a touch of concern in his voice.
"Sis… Are you okay? No side effects from using your skill?"
Vivian smiled gently and placed a hand on his shoulder.
