Kai finally arrived at the main gate.
He thought that after resting for a moment, before departing, he would recharge enough stamina for him to drag the three leather sacks fine, but it's not enough. Not to mention, the fireballs that slammed into him also didn't help.
But throughout all of that, he managed to make it back to the academy.
As he walked through the main gate, he could feel the eyes of the guard Angels watching.
Just a minute ago, their shouts and banter had filled the air. Now—silence. He lifted his gaze and found every single one of them staring at him, their eyes holding a tangle of emotions he couldn't quite name.
One that was prominent enough to be visible was shock.
Kai wanted to nod, to acknowledge, but he had no strength to do any of that right now.
Slowly, he made his way through the main gate.
