Kapitel 236: Entering the Academy (3/4)

Frey and Thomas stared at the wood Jackal's group was laying down, confused for a moment, but the point was gotten across. "Are you going to set the building on fire?" Frey asked.

"Of course not," Jackal chuckled, his smile returning. "Just make sure to call my dear Elero back. I've been wanting to catch up with her after we spent so much time apart from one another. I think the last time I really talked to her…" He rubbed his chin. "She had yet to be broken." He let out a long sigh. "So much potential, wasted."

Thomas's hands balled up into fists but Frey pulled him back. "Don't get caught up with what he has to say. I'm sure it's a trap or some sort of manipulation. We should be focused on the building he's about to set ablaze." He pointed to the commoners, who were rushing around, organizing bundles of wood, all at least a dozen feet from the Knight's Academy.
