Chapter 56 - Preparations (part 3)

Zoemi didn't return to his room, he made sure that he wasn't seen and went straight to the heroine's room.

Or at least, he was supposed to.

"Youngster! I was looking for you!"

Zoemi thought he wasn't noticed by anyone but out of nowhere a big hand grabbed his shoulder and when he turned around he saw the tanned face of the headmaster Burdoff Mekhior Vereq.

|What the...!? Damn it – I almost had a heart attack...!|

The black-haired boy gritted his teeth doing his best to not flinch at the rather disturbing sight of the shadow leeching onto a corpse – and he did quite a good job of now freaking out.

"What's up, Aspi?"

He said in a friendly tone and the headmaster let go of his shoulder and took a step back.

"Aspi...!?"

His tanned face became flushed.

"S-since when are we so close that we are using nicknames...!? You locked me in the drawer and left my office!"
