Chapter 63: Chat Part Two

Alister chuckled, thinking back to his academy days.

"Oh, I've got a few," Alister said, chuckling. "There was this one time when my friends and I decided to sneak into the headmaster's office. We wanted to find out what kind of rare artifacts he kept hidden away. Turns out, he was expecting us."

Beatrice leaned in, her eyes wide with curiosity. "What happened?"

"Well, we got caught, of course," Alister said, laughing. "But instead of punishing us, the headmaster gave us a lecture on the importance of respecting boundaries and the dangers of tampering with powerful items and artifacts. Then he showed us a few of them, explaining their history and purpose. It was actually quite fascinating."

Axel grinned. "Sounds like you got off easy."

Alister nodded. "Yeah, we did. But the headmaster made sure we never tried anything like that again. He had a way of making his point without being harsh."
