"Who had you partnered up with?"
"Secret."
"Come on man! It's not like this is some competition."
"Meet me later."
"Huh—"
Returning to the academy, the tension of the assignment could clearly be felt as students kept discussing the same topic amongst themselves.
Not paying them much attention, I moved towards the headmaster's office.
The sooner I got the permission, the better it was.
After the assignment to the Leviath Duchy, Sophie would have already arrived at the academy.
I could then meet the headmaster once again in order to officially introduce her.
There was no need for me to send an extra message to Arthur about whether the headmaster had given the permission or not, because in my earlier reply I had already told Arthur about the time when Sophie should have arrived at the academy.
Taking permission from the headmaster may prove to be difficult, but it wasn't something hopeless.
I knew there was no reason for the headmaster to deny my... request.
