Friends?

Meanwhile, at the Royal Academy of Saltstar City...

Vicente was now standing next to Nina, Eve, and Newton, but also a brown-haired young man the same age as Nina, who was a classmate and friend of hers.

Next to him was a well-dressed old man with High-level Mage cultivation, who was supposed to be this boy's uncle.

Shortly after attending the academy director's lecture on what the students' guardians should expect this year, they met while going to enroll the two in their respective electives.

When she met that young man, Killian Miller, Nina couldn't help but seize the opportunity to finally introduce her brother to her good friend.

"So you're the friend I've been hearing about more and more often?" Vicente looked the young man up and down while Eve smiled bitterly, seeing Vice's jealousy towards Nina.

Nina didn't understand what her brother was doing but stood silently behind him while Vicente squeezed one of Killian's hands.
