Amelia quietly nodded after hearing his answer.
Noah's mind, however, was already turning.
Since she had already found out, there really wasn't any point trying to hide it anymore.
Amelia would eventually tell their mother anyway.
And even if she didn't, the truth would come out sooner or later.
Noah exhaled slowly.
'I'll just have to come clean to both her and mum.' he thought.
There was no avoiding it now.
The suspension from the academy wasn't something he could pretend hadn't happened.
They walked in silence for a while after that.
Amelia didn't speak again immediately.
Her mind was still processing everything that had happened.
After several more steps, however, curiosity got the better of her again.
She glanced at him once more.
"How… are you so strong then?" she asked.
Her voice carried genuine confusion.
"You're only an apprentice magus… but you made Tou look like such a fool."
She had seen Tou fight before.
He was an adept magus.
