The next morning, Richard woke up around seven and met Amelia at the academy gate. She was waiting for him while holding her bag tightly in her hand and for the first time, he saw such a nervous look on her.
With his brows raised, he greeted her, "Good morning?"
"M-Morning...d-did you sleep well?" The way she awkwardly replied made him confused but he replied to her naturally,
"Yes, I did. What about you? Ah, and what happened with the council invitation yesterday?" Richard added the last part, both because he was curious and wanted to dissipate this awkward atmosphere.
Amelia heaved a sigh and her shoulders visibly relaxed as she replied, "They invited me to become a disciplinary incharge."
Richard was not surprised but he had to pretend, as he asked, "Wow....it's great news. But..don't they appoint the officers from the second year?"
