"Hello, I'm Lily, a B-Class Hero. It's nice to meet you."
Lily was the first to speak.
"I'm Boros's younger sister, Roris."
Roris didn't really understand human social etiquette. She simply copied the way Lily introduced herself.
"Oh, so you two are brother and sister..."

Only then did Bai Ye say, "We should probably get started on studying."
"...Okay."
Lily finally snapped out of it and remembered that she had something important to do.
She opened her schoolbag, ready to take out her textbooks, exercises, and
