Chapter 272: Circus Troupe

I was patted awake.

"Student Eugene, what are you doing?"

With the soft hands on my cheeks, I slowly pushed open my eyes and looked ahead. Standing there with her blue hair fluttering was the only person who would call me student.

"Miss Rio, very fine morning."

"Indeed," Miss Rio nodded. "It was a fine night too. Is that why you slept outside?"

I rubbed my eyelids and nodded. My head still slightly hurt, but it was much better than yesterday night. As my vision cleared up, I noticed three small blobs of green dancing around in the air behind Miss Rio who stood right in front of me.

The sun seemed to have barely risen as just some of the light poured in from the merciless canopy.

"I get it. You were training here and you fell asleep. How ever sincere of you, Eugene."

"That's—"

"No need to hide it. I can tell because I am your teacher."

"Sure," I said and pushed myself up. Titania was still sleeping on the top of my head, so I made sure to not move too much.
