Flying and Nostalgia

Though he was having second thoughts on continuing, this was not actually Leo's first ordeal when it came to flying. Once, during a long vacation with his family, the Esters had taken a ride on an airship that was specially manufactured from one of the Belmont family's industries. Although the trip lasted for only a certain period, the nervous little encounter still remained quite fresh in his mind.

In addition to the vacation, Halo Academy had also hosted special celebrations where students, under careful teacher supervision, were allowed to participate in the sensation of soaring above the ground. Rumors had it that the headmaster believed it'd be an illuminating experience for those students who have yet to attempt flying by themselves.

While the headmaster's eccentricities have always been generally lost on Leo, for this particular instance, he couldn't help but be thankful.
