The Moonlight Swordsman (XXII)

[Aestrea's POV]

"Dammit..."

I muttered under my breath, staring into the bathroom mirror.

My reflection was almost unrecognizable.

My eyes had completely changed color, and now I couldn't even recognize myself.

But even more frustrating? The status window wouldn't open for me to figure out what the hell was going on.

Instead, the same irritating message kept flashing.

[The system is currently under a new update!]

"This stupid update has got to have something to do with my eyes," I grumbled, dragging a hand down my face before letting out a deep sigh.

After splashing some water on my face, I left the bathroom, before starting to walk through the academy grounds.

The place was ridiculously massive—so big, I felt like I needed a map just to keep track of where I'd been.

And honestly, even if I explored every day, I'd probably still miss half of it by the time the semester ended.
