"Agh…" With a groan, the black-haired transfer student slowly woke up.
It took her a moment, but she managed to open her eyes and realize where she was.
The infirmary. Her second time here since joining Runebound.
"How are you feeling now?" came a familiar voice from the left.
She turned her head and saw the Headmaster of Aegis Academy sitting nearby.
"Headmaster… why are you here?" she asked, her voice rough and dry.
He handed her a cup of water and said, "Came to check on you… and to take you three back."
Elizabeth paused, uneasy. "Did Headmistress Ariana tell you to bring us back?"
She feared Ariana had already told him about the incident with Adrian. If that were true, she might have no say in the matter.
But the Headmaster shook his head. "No. She left the choice to me. That's why I spoke to Emi and Tony first—then came to you."
Elizabeth raised her brows. "And what did they say?"
