Chapter 407: Inner Self (5)
The first snow had fallen.
It was early December, just another ordinary day.
Unusually late this year, the first snowfall had the cadets of Stella bursting with excitement. They dashed around the campus, building snowmen and engaging in snowball fights like carefree children.
'Be it a prestigious academy or not, kids will always be kids.'
Among the lively crowd of cadets, a worn-out-looking man, Aryumon Brushun, emerged. The air felt exceptionally crisp, as campus rules prohibited smoking.
'Must be nice to be young.'
Though his appearance suggested a man in his mid-to-late twenties, Aryumon was actually a 150-year-old, Class 9 Grand Mage with immense power.
"Chairman, you're here. We'll escort you."
Despite sneaking past Stella's front gate as a prank, it took less than ten minutes for knights to find him.
He had hoped to surprise someone, but their lack of reaction suggested that Elthman had forewarned them about his antics.
"So boring."
