An Unfamiliar Burden [1]

It took no time for Raven and Leon to return to Imperial Academy.

The two remained silent throughout the entire travel. Raven was frustrated with him.

But seeing the grim expression Leon had often made, Raven didn't voice out any of his frustrations.

For the both of them, their worries were unconfirmed.

Whether each of their allies would escape the tower alive or not.

But it fared better for Leon, who was confident his guild members would survive the ordeal.

Raven on the other hand, was nothing but a wishful hope.

In any case, they soon arrived at Imperial Academy.

Bang!

The door slammed open, and the two emerged into the room.

"...."

"...."

However, their return wasn't anything but unpleasant.

The tension was palpable in the room. Everyone wore grim expressions, some even pale.

And those pale expressions….

Were none other than his friends.

"Raven…."
