The cloaked man

"How is preparation for the academy exams coming along? There are just a few more months until the exams," Silva said as he walked up to his sister, who was sitting at the dining table.

"Yes, I've been reading as much as I can and also practicing. I've ended my apprenticeship, so I don't have to go for magical training anymore.

That reminds me, brother, I heard that you will also be going to the academy, even though you are under the normal age," Lia said.

"Yeah, for certain reasons, I decided that I'll take the test as well, but don't worry about me, I'm preparing too," Silva assured.

"Hmm, I don't believe that. You are always adventuring; I haven't seen you study much for some time.

I know you read a lot, but you haven't read the academy-related materials, and as your big sister, I have to ensure that you do.

So from today, you'll have to come home earlier. We will study together at night before we go to sleep," Lia said.
