Unlikely Companions

Aurora blinked as she saw the headmaster storm towards her with a dark face, a female teacher in tow. If she recalled correctly, it was the same woman who had been with Dane while he was trying to sneak off. 'Isn't she a teacher of… what subject was it again?'

The platinum blonde shook her head. If she forgot, it probably wasn't important.

"Aurora! Just why the hell did you expel professor Dane like that?! Do you have any idea how difficult it is—"

"Isn't it obvious? He was incompetent. I couldn't bear to see him sully the reputation of my academy anymore."

The female teacher balked at her words, as if unable to believe she could say something like that. "How can you say that?! My husband has been serving the academy faithfully for hundreds of years! There's been no lack of geniuses he has nurtured for—"

Aurora rolled her eyes. "Who are you again?"

"I-I teach the interia course?"

"Oh… continue, then."
