After breakfast, Cael and Edwin stepped out of the cafeteria, exchanging brief farewells with Elara.
Edwin said with a wave,
"See you later."
Elara nodded and walked off in the opposite direction, her purple hair swaying behind her.
The walk back to the guest dorm was quiet. Edwin hummed something under his breath.
Cael said with a teasing tone,
"Are you trying to hit on her?"
Edwin almost tripped as he glared at Cael.
Cael was amused.
"Last time, you said you had feelings for Kira Crimson."
Edwin shook his head.
"Don't remind me of her. She was just a blood-sucking vampire. If it wasn't for your brother's instincts during District Kazi, and him killing her when he had the chance, who knows when she might have turned on us?"
Yes, after Luke killed Kira, the news spread like wildfire.
A vampire had infiltrated Everbright Academy. Moreover, the vampire could use elements. It was sensational news months ago.
Edwin had learned of it, like everyone else.
