Chapter 816: Kyle’s Uncertainty
Kyle couldn’t understand why a Beauxbatons professor would ask about homework the very first time guests came to visit...
It was just a regular homework assignment—was it really that important?
Alright, maybe some professors did take it seriously. But even so, with guests present—especially guests from far away—couldn’t a trivial matter like that wait a bit?
Even just for appearances’ sake, shouldn’t he have greeted the guests first? On that point alone, the Beauxbatons professor seemed rather rude.
More importantly, Kyle had never been in such an awkward situation before.
He was curling his toes tightly against the soles of his shoes.
Just thinking about how he had stumbled through his words made his face burn, especially with Gabrielle and Kanna struggling to hold back their laughter. He honestly wanted to turn around and walk away.
At that moment, he truly wished he had a Time-Turner to go back one minute and cover his own mouth... or maybe cover Kanna’s, so she couldn’t tell the truth.
"Don’t just stand there at the door. Didn’t you tell Miss Delacour you wanted to visit the alchemy classroom?"
Fortunately, Professor Viktor broke the awkward silence, this time speaking in clear, standard English.
He turned and pushed open the door to the alchemy classroom. "Come in."
Kyle immediately lowered his head and stepped inside, with Kanna following close behind.
