"Teacher"

"Son as in Son of Chaos."

"Yeah what is that? Some kind of a title you guys made up just for me?" Hao Xuan joked but upon seeing the serious looks he was getting from both the grimoire and Claudia he held himself back.

The grimoire said something to Claudia and she in turn asked Hao Xuan.

"Are you saying...you don't know what you are?"

Thinking they were just messing with him he shook his head, "Well I was always under the assumption that I'm a human but you let me know if that's not the case anymore."

The answer left both of them speechless for a moment. Only after a brief moment of contemplation did Claudia finally speak up.

"What do we do now? Do we still take him to her?"

The grimoire swayed left and right obviously answering no.

"Then what?"

But rather than answer, the grimoire shrunk to a third of its size and simply disappeared in a puff of smoke just like how it arrived, leaving Claudia and Hao Xuan staring at each other in awkward silence.
