บท 227: Special Case

'What to do? What to do?'

After two minutes of thinking, Ezra speaks.

"With what I've heard. I do not feel like joining anymore"

The woman simply smiled as if expecting it.

"But…it would be a lie to say that I do not wish to gain from what you have to offer"

She left her tea cup afloat. "So, you expect to get student privileges without being a student?"

"Hmm, when you put it like that…no, not really"

She raised a brow. "Then what do you want?"

"I want the privileges of a visiting scholar"

She blinked. "Where did you learn of that?"

"From a place I'd rather not say" he replied. Inwardly, 'I should have Fredrick thank Sebastian later'

The information agency was already showing its worth.

"Hmm…" The woman tapped her cheek in contemplation. 

"What's a scholar? And why is it different from a student?"

Rather Ezra, it was Ashton.

She paid his interruption no mind-as she wasn't talking when he spoke-and answered with a smile.
