Volume 2.72 Those she left behind (1)

In the headmistress' office, three of the seven keys were currently inside with the headmistress. From the looks of it, they seemed to be discussing a serious matter based on their facial expressions and non-verbal communication. 

"What are you going to do now, Headmistress? We all know that our training with your apprentice hasn't begun yet, and she is already in this state. With the coming of the Gathering, do you think she would be worthy and strong enough to represent the House of Spades as our number one student?" Solace asked with his usual lopsided grin on his face. He was leaning casually on the right wall.

"The Gathering would be in the last week of November, only almost two weeks left before that day comes, we don't have too much time left." Plaridel, the key of knowledge, said. She fixed her eyeglasses that fell down a bit from her eyes to her nose. She was sitting on the sofa with another key.
