Capítulo 79: Grimestone

The following day, after the morning training session, Atticus made his way to the runes division for his lesson. As he entered the building, which was deserted as usual, he noticed the same clerk he had met yesterday still sleeping on the counter.

Atticus sighed and approached the counter. Having learned his lesson, he decided to speak loudly from the beginning, saying, "Hello."

This time, his initial greeting did the trick, and the man groaned, slowly waking up again. He cast Atticus a glance before quickly regaining his composure upon recognizing him.

Without wasting time, he stood up and directed Atticus to the room where the lesson would take place.

The interior of the building was as plain as the exterior. After walking for a few seconds, they got to a plain looking door. The man gestured for Atticus to enter and promptly excused himself, saying, "He'll be here soon," and left Atticus to his devices.
