Xyrus Academy, an institution hailed as the ed enough to have both the background and talent to enter There were several other acadedom of Sapin, but needless to say, the level between those second-rate schools and Xyrus was insurmountable

Now, here I was, standing in front of the said acadeht-year-old—hell, any person—would be ecstatic to be in the presence of someone so affluent, but I couldn't help let out an expression of annoyance at the unexpected guest

She was a very tall lady, standing around 17 e for the feht, poise ant robe of navy blue, laced with gold threading She sported a conjurer's hat, an accessory that looked like an oversized traffic cone that a mana but oftentimes came with other functions Strapped to the side of her robe was a wand that was a crystalline white color with a fluorescent genorant eyes could tell that this as extrely, her face had very soft features that rerandure of power, but the aura she had around her made her seem fairy-like; her wrinkles unable mask the attractive face that she had The crow's feet etched on the outer ends of her brown eyes actually amplified the attractiveness of her smile when she introduced herself

"Nice to finallyher hand out

What was I supposed to do in this situation? Was I supposed to shake it or is so ?

I just ith the safe route and shook her hand

"Err… Nice to meet you too, Director"

The Director seemed a little taken aback byrude! I'm so sorry for norant about formal custo herself, getting on one knee

Apparently, when et on one knee and shake the hand, while bowing

How stupid

"Kukuku, no it is quite all right No offense taken at all And please, Arthur, call h with her free hand covering her mouth

"I'm sorry to intrude on you at such a late time but unfortunately, the only free tiht I hope you don'tat my parents

"Nonono, we're thankful that you'd be willing to take the time out just to visit our son" My father was the one to speak this time

By the aranny could compare to Grandpa Virion

Director Cynthia nodded at this "True, it isn't very often that I take a house trip to visit a potential student Otherwise, even with a hundred bodies, I wouldn't be able to fit the tiood friend and has contributed greatly to Xyrus Acadey that is living in his hoet excited as well I ot the best ofme to an open space so I can see a deaze fixed atmanner

"Can I at least eat din…Ouch!" My mother slapped me in the butt before I could finish my sentence

"Of course! Please follow us, Director Cynthia" MyDirector Cynthia while the rest followed

Sylvie, who had been hiding underneath the dinner table fro Director Cynthia to raise an eyebrow

"Oh my… What a lovely mana beast I assume it is your contracted beast, Arthur?" she asked et a closer view at Sylvie

"I have to say, while it is common for nobles to buy beasts to contract, I have never seen amy shoulders, I explained, "I'm not exactly sure what she is either Her mother seemed to be soravely wounded when I stu"

She reached to pet Sylvie but she scampered away and climbed on top of ers"

"I see Well enough about her Let us see if what Vincent said wasn't just exaggeration He didn't tellthe rest would be a surprise" She let out a wry s Vincent blush

We had arrived at the backyard and everyone took seats, giving us enough space, Sylvie struggling to escape the grasp of my little sister, who to use your wand?" I started stretching

"It isn't very fair ofa weapon when you yourself are eave me a wink

She ht foot into the ground and a piece of the ground the size of my body thrusted up My hands are lazily in my pocket so I kicked the rock at Director Cynthia's direction

A all appeared instantly in front of her, knocking up the rock I had just kicked high into the air

Ooh, Insta-casting

The clash between the four twisters and my cyclone created a s me very dizzy
