"Idiot, how could you inform the students about this? If they leave, who will lure that guy?"
Beside, Hewinia silently listened while looking at the cup of black tea in front of her, which held a reflection of herself that now seemed especially blurry.
Then, she felt a shadow fall before her, someone had walked up to her side.
She lifted her head and noticed an old man with a full head of silver hair, wearing a badge of the Lawrence family on his chest.
"Good morning, Miss Hewinia." The old man smiled and touched his chest, "Master Phinis has sent me to escort you away."
Twenty minutes later, Hewinia arrived at the dock of Thousand Snow Lake.
"Shall we leave by boat?" Hewinia asked.
"Yes, Miss Hewinia," the old man replied with a smile, "it takes a whole day to cross the entirety of Thousand Snow Lake from the Three Colleges to the First Academy."
"Is it that far?"
