Chapter 100: On the run

Karl wakes up to the loud vibration of his watch. He glances at it and sees a call from his class teacher. Sighing heavily, he picks up. "Hello?"

"Mr. Avartia, we've already given you enough time. Principal Estha has officially expelled you from the academy, and you were supposed to vacate your dorm two days ago. There is a limit to our patience." The instructor's tone was passive-aggressive, and Karl rolls his eyes in response.

"I-I know. Just give me a few more days, okay? I'm figuring things out."

The teacher's voice sharpens. "Listen here, you cheeky brat. That woman wants you out of this campus at all costs. So stop making things difficult for me and leave—"

Karl hangs up and falls back onto his bed.
