Chapter 757: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 40
For most students, graduation was another event to forge connections. Not only some influential parents would come, but the academies would also invite people from guilds and the Sentinel Association.
Kar didn’t need such connections--rather, he was one of those connections. While Trinity was not a family-owned guild, people already assumed he would be the future guildmaster. How could they not--his father was the guildmaster of the branch, and his godfather was the owner of the guild.
Thus, at first, he had no plan of attending the graduation. Just like a lot of other things, he inherited an aversion to crowds and formal events from his guide father. But under the effect of sparkling blue eyes framed in long, white lashes, Kar had no choice but to change his mind.
Unlike him and his twin, Lucy couldn’t attend any school. Her system was different; she was both an esper and a guide, the first of her kind. Perhaps even the only one. To minimize harm, she had been homeschooled by their parents and the household member. Naturally, she couldn’t have a graduation of her own.
Of course, Kar would bring the girl to a graduation if she asked.
And he was glad that he did. The girl was truly excited about shopping for a dress. Rather than having Aunt Reina make a custom one for her, she shopped inside SavAsh boutiques with Nari, dragging Kar along to look for a suit.
The sacrifice he had to make...
"Hmm...too bad Nari and Byul can’t be here," Lucy sighed as they walked inside the Academy’s Great Hall, holding her brother’s elbow as a plus one.
"It’s family-only," Kar also thought it was a shame. "Byul can go when it’s Nari’s graduation."
"I see, I see!" Lucy nodded happily, knowing that she could still share the experience in the future.
And what an experience it was! Lucy was bored hanging around adults in the guild and the Iron Shields. The children of the household considered her their princess, so they always spoke politely and didn’t feel like a friend. Her fathers’ friends also had children, but she couldn’t meet them often since they had school.
