A man called out and Vaan who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, the man smiled, 

"Headmaster Octavius is waiting for you." 

Vaan nodded as he walked into the room the man had just come out of. 

The moment he walked in, Vaan froze.

"You didn't think that you could get away with going to the Vesta House to be excused from the training and leaving Elara behind to convince me, did you?" 

"Father… I promise you that it was important, I was not trying to be lazy and avoid the training…" 

"So the 'important' thing just had to be discussed right when I was supposed to train you, huh? It couldn't be adjusted before or after the training, correct?"
