I followed after the Nekomata as she led me out of the building, thoughts about me missing my class racing through my head.
The first year students that saw us were mostly focused on me than the Nekomata, most of them stepping aside to gawk at me and my egg as I walked by but not really paying attention to the director in front of me.
The more senior students, however, saw the Nekomata and quickly stepped aside to look at her in awe, then their gaze would shift to me and most of them would have a confused look like they were wondering why I was even following behind her.
She brought me out of the main building until we reached a stretch of path that was devoid of any other students.
She then turned back to me, as though reading my mind about my worries for skipping class.
"You don't need to worry about this class, Aster. I am formally extending an invitation to make you my apprentice for learning Kalomancy under me."
