CHAPTER 253: PARTY (1)

After Alphonse's victory, I am brought back to the restroom. This time, however, there are two priests inside, as well as the old bearded man from earlier and Frankher. Of course, they weren't going to leave it at that.

"It was a very good performance you showed us, Star of Mercuria. I am impressed and jealous that the eternal academy has such a talented individual."

This time, the old man's voice sounds more normal, more human.

"And may I know your name?"

"Ahem." Frankher rapidly clears his throat. What is it? Why are you looking at me like that? Ah, yeah, I forgot the honorifics!

"Sir."

"But of course, I am," the old man advances to me and extends his hand, "the current head of the schools' council and headmaster of EIMER school here in Nivalnheilm: Thobias Hildegarde."

He takes my hand and shakes it, while the teacher next to Frankher is throwing arrows at me with his stare.
