"Hmm?"

Caught off guard by the unexpected message from Headmaster Jean, Vale's curiosity piqued. Without hesitation, he altered his course and made his way to the Headmaster's office, wondering what gift his master, Dark Alchemist Heinz Becker, had sent.

'He finally thought of sending something for me. If I hadn't stolen all that money from the pockets of the corpses before, I would've starved to death here.' Vale mused, exaggerating his situation.

Well, even if he didn't pick up their money, he could certainly earn some money here if he wanted to.

Upon arriving at the office, Vale was greeted by the imposing figure of Headmaster Jean, who wore an enigmatic smile.

Behind him, a small package wrapped in black velvet sat on the desk, emanating an aura of mystery.
