Attack

Xiao Lin's two-day leave passed quickly. He received no further notice stating that the leave would continue, which meant that he had to report to Professor Brown as usual. He got up early in the morning and waited for a long time at the inn entrance, but his escort Norn was nowhere to be seen.

As the intern from the Foreign Affairs Department who was responsible for picking Xiao Lin up every day, Norn had never been late, which left Xiao Lin scratching his head. Norn still did not appear after ten or so minutes, so Xiao Lin decided to go to the palace by himself. Brown was a very harsh old man, and Xiao Lin's pay might even be deducted if he was late. All of a sudden, Norn finally arrived.

"I was going to be late. Why are you only here now?" Xiao Lin complained, somewhat dissatisfied.
