Reunion

Even though Emery only knew the man for a few weeks during his second year in the Magus Academy, the man had quickly cemented himself in his life and became a very important figure for him and his friends.

"Emery! What an unexpected surprise!"

The man was so happy that the next thing he did after breaking the hug was to start talking to his invisible friend.

"Look who's here, Ekindu! It's our boy, Emery!"

Seeing how excited and friendly their commander was, it confirmed that Emery was not a threat, therefore all the people standing in the hangar quickly dispersed, leaving only those who had actual business in this place.

One other figure remained standing still. It was the female magus, who Emery immediately recalled where he had met her after seeing Lord Izta. She's one of Lord Izta's wifes, the one called Rosia.
