章 118: Outlaws After Heroine

Lucan and Maris walked toward the principal's office, their curiosity piqued about the reason for the summons.

After knocking on the door, they heard a calm, "Come in."

Lucan pushed open the heavy oak door, its creaking resonating through the quiet hallway. Inside the office, Principal Eleanor Blackwood sat behind a grand mahogany desk, her blue hair neatly tied back into a professional bun.

"Please, have a seat," Eleanor said with a tone of gentle authority. Lucan and Maris settled into the plush chairs opposite her. Eleanor folded her hands on the desk, her gaze warm but serious. "First, I want to express my deepest gratitude to both of you. The academy owes you a great debt for saving us from Mordecai's black gas. The situation could have been disastrous, but thanks to you, many lives were spared from trauma."

Lucan gave a modest nod. "We were just doing what needed to be done," he said humbly.
