I stared blankly at the professor, yet he kept scribbling down. While the others had already started working.
I pushed forward and sat down at the nearest chair in the distance. An hour later, and still nothing. I could feel my eyelids drooping closed… until I spotted his boots next to me.
"Come with me," he said, and my eyes snapped open. I jerked up and immediately rushed after him...
We left the others and walked straight ahead.
"Professor, why was I given no work to do earlier?" I asked, and his lips parted. "You have no foundation of magic. You are merely D- or C-rank. You lack the depth needed in magic," he said, and I sighed. He wasn't wrong. I licked my lips and nodded in understanding.
Then he paused, and I halted too.
"I'd rather take you to field work," he said, and I blinked. Field work? What did he mean? I wanted to press further, but then his hand reached out. I didn't even realize a curtain was there. He slid it open, and my eyes shimmered.
