"What are you doing here?"
Lyrium stood motionless for a moment before slowly turning his body backward to see who was behind him.
It was the headmistress.
"Miss Emily…"
Emily spoke slowly while staring into his crimson eyes.
"What are you doing here at this late hour?"
Before composing himself, he slowly spoke calmly to her.
"Miss Emily… this is the training room for freshmen and students who want to become stronger. Can't I, as a student, use this room to train myself and strengthen my body?"
"…"
Lyrium was right, he was absolutely right.
She had no right to stop a student, a sage, who wanted to become stronger from using this room.
Then, as she composed herself, she calmly stared at him before speaking.
"Lyrium Blackwood, you're absolutely right. I have no right to stop you from using this room as a teacher... But until..."
She shifted her gaze toward the main exit door before suddenly dashing toward it.
Whoosh—!
Then, she opened the door.
