Volume IV - Chapter 24: Uneventful Days

A week passed, almost in the blink of an eye, at least for me. To be honest, it was a normal week as usual. The only difference was that I had to prepare for where I was going. And, of course, my goodbyes.

Clara... When I told her that she wouldn't hear from me for a while, she accepted it normally without saying anything. It was a bit scary, to be honest, the way she accepted it so quietly and meekly... I don't know.

Sue was a little upset. She asked me where I was going, how long I was staying, and if there was any danger. In the end, though, she wished me a good trip.

Lucia and Julian were both surprised to hear I was going. They asked how I was going to get permission from the Academy, where I was going. Of course, I gave them evasive answers and didn't tell them the truth.
