Enemies stormed into the classroom.
The teacher paid no attention to any of it.
He gave free rein to his emotions.
His laughter rang louder than booming thunder.
"It worked! It finally worked!"
An Kai did not know how that battle unfolded.
He only knew that when he saw his teacher again, a scent of "decay" emanated from him.

Between those recollections.
An Kai also pondered the subjects his teacher had taught, over and over in
