Zeke headed to the Alchemy Room, located on the eighth floor of the academy. Since it was only a floor away, it only took him around a minute to find it. He stopped in front of a white door, intending to knock.
Creak.
But before he could raise his hand, the door opened, revealing a tall, long-haired man with black hair. The man had a refined air around him, surprising Zeke. His eyelashes were pretty, and his eyes were clean blue, like a refined piece of diamond.
It wasn't very often one saw blue eyes in Red Land. But even more rare was a person who had the airs of a noble, especially in an academy located in the Underground, the rat dwellers of Ash City.

"…"
The two of them stared at each other for a while, a silent, thoughtful expression present on the man's face. When Zeke was about to say something, the man's expression moved, turning solemn.
Alarm bells immediately erupted in Zeke's heart.
