Rowan approached Prince Cedric's tent. It had been three long, arduous weeks since they left the city of Cinderdale. The academy was getting closer.
The journey had dragged on painfully. They were ambushed by bandits more than three times and, monsters too. But thanks to the SSS-rank hunter with them, those threats were dealt with easily.
Celina... no, Nightmare, using the sword techniques she learned from Rowan, she wiped out the enemies. The guards were shocked to know that she could use a sword. They thought she was just a mage... More like a hepta-elementalist.
"Nightmare, can you teach us how to use the ice spear? You see, Ice is difficult to control"
"It was great!"
The Prince's escort mages were dying to learn from her, but she was no teacher. She just waved them off, keeping her hidden under her cloak.
Three weeks had passed and not one of them had figured out she was a girl. Soon, they'd arrive at the infamous academy.
