Chapter 100
Acanders and Soned finally arrived in Elpis. Allen was able to meet with them promptly the next morning after hearing news of their arrival. Since there was a school rule that outsiders couldn't enter into the Academy’s territory, Allen rented out a room on the top-floor of a decent inn.
"It's been a long time, sir. Your great name is well known around here.”
Soned reunited with him, still showing a pale smile with a warm face.
"It's very nice to see you again, too. It’s about time that you came up.”
"Haha, is that so?"
"Yes, but we can discuss work-related matters after chatting for a bit. Let's talk… How's your son? I hope he’s recovering well from his curse.”
When Allen wanted to put the important conversation aside, Soned gently began to talk to him about his recent situation.
"He’s been learning the trade from me since he returned to health. I’m not sure if he’d be awake at this hour.”
"It must be early in the morning over there, right?"
