Chapter 78: The New Instructor
· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
The academy had issued new uniforms earlier that week, and Arios, Lucy, and Liza wore them for the first time as they prepared for class. The design was a crisp white jacket trimmed with navy aesthetics, paired with white trousers for the boys and a white skirt for the girls. The look carried a sharp, formal edge, clearly modeled after the uniforms of mage knights serving in the kingdom.
Arios slowly adjusted the collar of his jacket with a chill expression, while Lucy smoothed her skirt with quiet approval. Liza, on the other hand, tugged at her hem with mild irritation, muttering that the academy probably cared more about appearances than comfort.
The morning was quiet, the kind of calm that usually came before the bustle of academy life. Arios left his dorm room with Liza and Lucy beside him. The two girls walked in sync with him, both holding their books as if ready for whatever class would come next.
