"Good morning, Miss Danist, I..."
After greeting her, Shade was just about to speak when he realized that still was not safe enough. The Doctor had described that demon as incredibly powerful, and Shade could not guarantee that speaking through a projection was safe. Besides, for something this important, he felt it would be better to speak face-to-face:
"Miss Danist, may I come to the Academy now? I would like to speak with you in person."
The sorceress frowned slightly. She understood Shade's character; if it were not something serious, he definitely would not make such a request. And once he did make such a request, it meant that whatever Shade had encountered this time was even more troublesome than dragons or the like:
"Yes. I'll have someone prepare a Relic to bring you here. I'm returning to the library now. Meet me there in half an hour."
"What were you doing just now? I noticed that isn't the library."
Shade asked again, and Miss Danist shook her head unconcernedly:
"You needn't worry about that. Just now, I was inspecting and evaluating the School Hospital with several other professors according to regulations. It's fine, that's a trivial matter. You are more important. See you in half an hour. Do I need to prepare any materials in advance?"
"Not for now. I'll explain when I get there."
Miss Danist was extremely efficient. She had said they would meet in half an hour, but in reality, Shade had only spent eighteen anxious minutes pacing back and forth at home while holding a curious cat before new information appeared on the Poetry Manuscript Paper. It was the details of a Relic:
Sage Level Relic—World Travel Handbook. The Relic's main body was a photo album with eight pages. Each page had six empty slots
