Chapter 81: Trouble

As they made their way to the administrative chambers, Yulia maintained her composed demeanor while Freya walked silently beside them, occasionally glancing at Catherine.

Catherine, although cuffed, seemed unbothered by the situation. Her gaze wandered over the academy's grand architecture, a hint of curiosity in her expression. "Your academy is impressive, though its energy flow feels peculiar," she remarked.

Yulia glanced at her. "Peculiar in what way?"

Catherine smiled faintly. "Your world's laws are less refined. The mana here is... loose. It's not bad, just different. My world's energy was more compact and controlled, which made us stronger but also more limited in creativity."

Yulia's curiosity was piqued, but she chose not to press further. "We'll discuss that once your situation is resolved," she replied, keeping her focus on the matter at hand.
