A week after meeting Ludwig and Regan.
After waking up in the student dormitories of Arfros Tistic Academy, Yi Chen prepared to head to Zed's Paradise for today's Physical Training.
Ring ring!
The telephone in the dormitory rang—a rare occurrence.
The call had come from outside the academy. The moment he answered, a greeting overflowing with murderous intent came through the receiver.
"Hello! Good morning, Mr. William. Do you still remember me?"
"Jin, aren't you conducting academy tests lately? And there's a whole pile of things to do. Teacher Zed grabs me for training every day too. I simply don't have time to leave the academy."
"Instructor wants to discuss something with the two of us. I'll give you ten minutes."
"Okay, wait..."
Before he could finish, the other end hung up.
Yi Chen was not flustered in the slightest. He first went to the bathroom and quickly took a cold shower, then touched the Gentleman's Attire hanging on the rack with his damp fingers.
The contact between skin and skin caused the outfit to writhe on its own. It clung to his skin and dressed him automatically, fastening every button and smoothing every wrinkle.
He picked up his briefcase and set off on the academy train.
The moment he stepped into Keximani Orchard, a dangerous aura struck from beside him.
Yi Chen immediately braced one palm against the ground and performed a concise, lightning-fast sideways roll... Unfortunately, when he rose, his shoulder was still seized.
He had only just turned his head when a Seven-Colored Mask was pressed directly against his face.
The familiar dangerous aura stimulated the plants inside Yi Chen's body to tremble and his clothes to writhe.
"Jin! Long time no see."
"Yo~ Your reactions have gotten faster. Looks like you've really been busy every day.
