Claude and Hugh passed through the Academy grounds, walking over a hundred steps beyond the faculty building and arrived at their destination, which was the Second Elder's residence.
Senior Beldon was standing in front of the door and saw Claude arriving and nodded his head with a smile, "Took a while didn't you, junior brother Claude?"
Claude lightly returned the greeting before taking a deep breath and looking around as he strode over to his Senior's side. He could see that the rest of the disciples of the Flying Sword Faction had already arrived.
"What is taking master so long? I can't handle this! I need answers!" Ashley Winters, who was standing next to Esmond, cried out in frustration.
"You have been standing here for literally five minutes. Can't you be a little more patient?" Senior Beldon replied with an annoying look on his face.
