Bab 370: Coaxing Anna with a gift

Max had reported that they couldn't find Rima. This worried her because she knew if the academy were to send more search parties for her, their lie might be found out, and if that happened, the academy would surely punish them for their transgression.

Seeing Leticia's worried look, Max lightly sighed before he said, "Don't worry about it. This was the best choice."

"How?"

"Because Rima had told me she doesn't want to lose her cloud academy's disciple identity just yet."

"Hm?" Leticia raised her thin brows in confusion, but after thinking for a moment, she understood what he meant.

Every academy or institution had a rule which said that the disciples weren't allowed to stay outside of the academy for more than a day without academy's permission.

If anyone were to break this rule without a good enough reason, the academy would punish them by cutting their resources or fining Mana stones or, in worse cases, it would kick them out.
