บท 137: Return

Khan remained in a daze even after Snow dropped him near the same mountain where he had departed eight hours ago. It was still ten am. He had an entire hour to return to the academy and attend his first lesson with a Niqols professor.

He would normally look forward to the lesson. He would have the chance to learn a completely different approach to mana, something humans wholly ignored out of arrogance and confidence in their methods.

Khan didn't feel able to underestimate those subjects after witnessing how intense and accurate they could be. He had seen Liiza's body suffering after she failed to experience his warmth for a single night, and she even continued to understand his feelings with mere glances or touches.
