Seeing him in such a state, Daneli couldn't help but chuckle, "What's wrong? Shocked that everything happened so smoothly?"
Adam snapped back to his senses and glanced at the young elf with an incredulous look. "What the hell happened? Wasn't that... too easy?"

"My teacher was the one to recommend you to the Castle," said Daneli like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Lord Elrod?" Adam was even more confused. "But he isn't a faculty member here, is he?"
"So what if he isn't?" Daneli spoke with pride, "He has quite the influence in the Empire."
