Bab 619: Strong Expansion

Marlene's return was a total surprise for Rhode. He never expected that Marlene would return to the Guild with him. Of course, Marlene didn't explain the details over this stunt. However, he was sure that this had some hidden meaning. But since Marlene could return to his side, it was naturally a great thing for him and he welcomed her with open arms. However, this wasn't the only surprise she had for him.

"Who are they?"

Rhode twitched his brows as he gazed at the over 30 young adults clad in Mage robes. Most of them were female with only two to three male among them. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be about the same age as Marlene, all youthful and energetic. Marlene revealed a grin.

"They're all your men, Rhode."

"My men?"

Rhode was slightly taken aback. Then, he understood the whole sequence of events from her. They were her schoolmates in the Mage School.
