A New Reslove

It took Caitlyn even longer than expected to find Valor.

Back in the dream, the fox had told her to find him. She was pretty sure it had been referring to Valor—after all, he was the only male soul summoner in the entire school.

Ultimately, she found him seated alone in a secluded building, his posture slumped, a defeated expression clouding his face.

Well, considering he had actually been defeated two days ago, it wasn’t all that surprising.

He was so lost in thought that he only noticed her when she got very close.

His gaze shifted toward her, his brows furrowing. "Who are you?" he asked, frowning.

"Uh—sorry to bother you. My name is Caitlyn Slerh. I'm a summoner, also in the first year." She figured he wouldn’t recognize her since he rarely attended classes. "I’d like you to help me with summoning magic."

"You’ve really got some nerve," he scoffed. "Leave before I get any angrier."
