If it were any other day, Lirien wouldn't even have spared Lucas a glance until he kowtowed fifty times as a greeting to his master and another fifty times as an apology for not visiting her when he came to the academy last time.
Not to mention the endless nagging he would have received from her about how he was becoming complacent in his growth.
She wouldn't even have allowed him to go on the rescue operation since it was an academy matter.
Shockingly, none of that happened. Lirien's voice was completely hollow as she allowed Lucas to take Chloe and Seraphina with him to find Vlad's whereabouts.
Cruel as she had been when she trained Lucas, she was still the person who had molded him into the person he had become. He preferred her mercilessness to her current hollow self.
She greatly valued the lives of her academy students. However, she had grown accustomed to their deaths during dangerous missions. Never before had she reacted like this.
