Chapter 114: A Morning Walk
The morning sun cast golden hues over Mu and Zen's house, illuminating the vast sky with shades of crimson and amber.
The salty sea breeze carried a refreshing coolness, rustling the cherry blossoms that adorned the school's courtyards.
Despite the grueling session with Mu and the extra hours spent in his room experimenting with new seals, Nero felt surprisingly refreshed.
It seemed Japan's naturally attuned environment helped restore his energy more efficiently than usual.
Today, he would finally attend the three subjects he had yet to explore.
Having already attended the introductory classes for two subjects, Onmyōdō and Fūinjutsu, Nero was now set to experience his first lessons in Elemental Convergence and Martial Spellcraft this morning, followed by Shikigami Arts in the afternoon.
As he stepped through the Torii gate onto the main school grounds, a sharp voice shattered the morning calm.
"AH!!! Nero Ravenclaw! What are YOU doing here?"
Turning toward the source of the outburst, Nero spotted a familiar head of fiery red hair bounding toward him.
A knowing smile tugged at his lips.
"Good morning to you too, Ayaka. Did you miss me already?"
