Chapter 391: 16 Year Old Inglis and the New Semester (13)
“EEHH?! We can’t join the Arcane Wardens?!” Rafinha’s voice, laden with disappointment, filled the Principal’s Office.
“Is there something wrong with us, Principal…?!” Her tone held a mix of concern and determination. “Please reconsider! We're eager to be part of this effort!”
Rafinha and Liselotte were visibly agitated. Principal Miliera, maintaining her composure, responded while gesturing with her hand. “No, no, that’s not it at all. I do want you all in the Order of the Arcane Wardens, but there's something else I need you to prioritize, isn't that right, Theodore?”
Special Envoy Theodore, also present in the room, nodded affirmatively at the Principal’s reference. “Indeed, and I think it will be a valuable experience for you.”
“What exactly will we be doing?” Inglis asked, her curiosity piqued.
Theodore elaborated, “It concerns Miss Eris. She’s scheduled for an examination in the Highland, leaving in a few days. I’d like you all to accompany her as her escorts.”
“…! We’re going to the Highland with Miss Eris?!” The revelation brought a surge of excitement.
This prospect intrigued Inglis. It presented an opportunity to firsthand experience the weapons and technology of the Highlands, potentially including innovations useful for Artifact modification. Inglis had recently developed an interest in this area. Perhaps she’d even encounter technology comparable to Jeldegrīva’s formidable arsenal, like Able’s Mecha Dragon God.
Rafinha’s eyes shone brightly. “We’re actually going to the Highland? Wow!”
