Confusion

The fact that Headmaster Delbrand was unable to divulge any information about the mission meant that Magus Xion was indeed on a secret mission. And most secret missions were highly dangerous.

However, Emery still felt somewhat relieved when he heard the headmaster's words. At the very least, this meant that his master's whereabouts were not unknown.

Not intending to disrupt the two important figures' meeting, Emery thanked the headmaster and quickly excused himself.

But just as he was about to turn around, the headmaster stopped him.

"Emery, stay for a moment, will you? I have a question for you."

"Yes, Headmaster. What is it?" Emery respectfully asked.

Headmaster Delbrand seemed a little hesitant. As if carefully constructing his sentence, he was silent for a moment before he finally asked,

"Did anything strange happen around you lately?"

The question encompassed a broad scope of matters, and it was certainly unusual.
