The magician appeared out the door and peered to the fallen blades, "Are we burying the swords? Silly Jotou, they're swords, they don't need funerals!" Asobi shook her head with a smile.
"Just help me pick them up..."
Fumeko made her way to the back—the open plane of grass stretched out till Kria Park in the near distance, trees scarcely to their side.
"Woah! Are these all for me to learn shadow magic!?" Fumeko gawked to the dozens upon dozens of open books, with notes pinned to bookmark the pages.
