The Fallen Academy and the Silent Girl
Guardian Elder Smith studied him for a moment.
Then he slowly nodded.
There was satisfaction in his eyes.
"Good."
His voice softened.
"You still remember your roots."
Mike smiled faintly from the side.
"That is exactly why I have always trusted him."
Leon looked at Mike.
Mike continued.
"Power can change a person. But if the heart remains unchanged, then power becomes something worth having."
Leon was silent for a moment.
Then he nodded.
"I understand."
Guardian Elder Smith looked between the two of them.
A peaceful atmosphere briefly settled over the group.
The battlefield was still ruined.
The Sky Breaker Academy had already fallen.
Yet amid all that destruction, the elders of the Celestis Academy were discussing the future as though they could already see the road ahead.
After a short while, Guardian Elder Smith turned around.
His expression became serious again.
He looked toward Mike.
