My fall break ended soon after we finished Phase 1 of my Zombie Princess plan.
Which meant it was time to return to Mythos Academy.
Technically, I had been absent for over five weeks, thanks to my inconvenient coma following the second mission. My extended disappearance wasn't exactly subtle, so before classes resumed, I had one more thing to take care of.
A meeting with Headmaster Eva Lopez.
So now, I found myself sitting across from the most powerful woman in Mythos Academy, her violet eyes fixed on me with an expression somewhere between exasperation and amusement. Her office was surprisingly minimalist—a large desk of polished oak, walls lined with books, and a massive window overlooking the Academy grounds. The sun was just beginning to set, casting long shadows across the campus.
"Arthur," she said, rubbing her temples with slender fingers, "why does it feel like something insane always happens around you?"
I blinked, feigning innocence. "Excuse me?"
