I tore my gaze away from the Cerberus pup.
With a slight bow, I introduced myself to Tammy.
"Greetings, Instructor. My name is Voss Adel, and I'm here for the Familiar Recognition Test."
"…Oh my."
Tammy covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide with surprise.
Why such a reaction?
My curiosity didn't last long.
As I narrowed my eyes, Tammy began to murmur,
"I heard there was a student who managed to tame Instructor Azgoth's bird…"
"That's never happened."
"Ah, my mistake. Just a slip of the tongue."
Tammy chuckled awkwardly.
The fact that Bird belonged to Azgoth was a secret among the instructors.
She must have spoken without thinking.
It was for the best that I shut it down immediately.
It wouldn't do for others to know about Bird's true origins.
In any case,
Her reaction piqued my curiosity.
To think that someone with such a ditzy air could be an instructor…
