Eri dragged Cecil all the way to the division Gom was in charge of, the...odd students of the academy. Of course, currently, there was only one student.
Xue.
Staring blankly at the arched doorway that led to the courtyard. Cecil could hear the sounds of a brawl from inside the courtyard. She was currently wearing the same kimono-like uniform, and her hair was partially tied up, to avoid any of them from falling onto her delicate face.
Cecil swallowed nervously, turning to look at Eri.
"Miss Eri, on second thought, I don't need to find a sparring partner anymore."
"What are you talking about? Since you have already walked all the way here, why turn back?"
Cecil just blinked her wide eyes at her teacher.
Sp-sparring with the lord protagonist...
It's as good as asking me to get myself killed!
"You are right, I have been pushing myself too hard for training," Cecil lied, forcing a smile on her face. "I-I don't need a sparring partner now, I'll find one after the break."
