Savant Tower

"Halt!" The silver-armored security personnel guarding the academy's library stopped the trio from entering. One of them came forward and glanced at Valerian. "No familiars allowed."

Valerian's eyes narrowed and he hissed at the guard. "Rawr~"

Instead of feeling intimidated, the guard only felt as if this familiar in front of him was the cutest thing in the world.

"It's alright, Val." Adam glanced at the young dragon and gestured. "Get back in."

The following moment, Valerian transformed into a gray light and returned to Adam's spirit sea.

Seeing this incredulous scene, the guard was flabbergasted. He even rubbed his eyes multiple times to ensure he wasn't seeing things.

Adam and his friends didn't pay any heed to the dumbfounded guards. They flashed their academy identity tokens and made their way inside.
