Unexpected Interaction

Leo did not expect to be dismissed from the Basics of Perception class a mere 35 minutes after it began.

However, much to his surprise, he was, giving him ample time to head for an early lunch.

Having already missed breakfast, he was starving, and so, without hesitation, he made his way toward the mess hall, though he quickly noticed he was one of the few who did.

Most students opted to head back to their dorms, preferring to rest before grabbing a meal later, but Leo chose otherwise. Lunch service had already begun, and with his next lecture still 2.5 hours away, he had more than enough time to eat and focus on solving his mana sensing problem.

However, just as he stepped out of the training grounds and onto the stone-paved pathway leading toward the mess hall, a quiet, feminine voice whispered beside him.

"You've lost your memories too, haven't you? I can tell—"

A sharp chill ran down Leo's spine as he heard those words being spoken to him.
