章 1999: Twilight Hall

The group entered what seemed to be another training complex—a significantly smaller barracks compared to the Terra Barrack. The atmosphere here was distinctly different, with the palace appearing somewhat disheveled, accompanied by lively noises reminiscent of a bustling tavern. As they approached the entrance, a sudden uproar ensued, and a voice rang out, "Everyone!! The chief is here!! Gather up!!"

A knowing smile crossed Klea's face. "Aahh, I know what this place is!" she exclaimed. However, it wasn't the shouting that tipped her off; rather, it was the distinctive aromas wafting from the vicinity.

Just a few steps away from the entrance, the door swung open, revealing a beautiful brown-haired female magus who greeted them enthusiastically. "Brother Emery, you're here!"

The sudden burst of enthusiasm led to an embrace with both her arms around Emery, "I've missed you so much!" this caught Gwen a bit off guard.
