The next morning arrived quietly.
Gray had already woken up early and was standing in one of the private reception rooms of Clementine's Sword and Magic Academy.
The Headmistress sat gracefully across from him, with her legs crossed, her long auburn hair cascading over one shoulder as she listened with a pleased smile.
"I'll return on the first day of classes," Gray said calmly. "I need some time to settle things and speak with a few people."
Aurora's vivid red eyes brightened with clear satisfaction. She nodded elegantly.
"Very well. I'll handle all the enrollment procedures myself. You'll be placed directly into the second year without any issues."
She paused for a moment, then added with a soft, meaningful tone:
"Also… make sure to come back every Thursday. We'll continue mastering my sword art together. You still have a long way to go."
Gray gave a small nod.
"I understand. I'll be here every Thursday."
