The next morning, the sun had risen on the eastern horizon. Rosa was already finishing her morning practice and was about to prepare breakfast for the whole group. Meanwhile in Radlanovia, high up in the middle of the Verthekhia Mountains, the Academy never sleeps.
One of the High Sorceresses wearing a normal teacher's robe just arrived at the Radlanovian Library of Wisdom. As she entered, she was greeted by the librarian.
"Morning, Miss Alicia. Fancy seeing you here around this hour", the librarian said.
"Oh cut it out, Lily. I always pay you a visit here every morning, it's basically my morning ritual", replied High Sorceress Alicia.
"Hehe I know. A cup of coffee, Miss Alicia?", asked Lily the librarian.
"Ah yes please, thank you Lily. Oh by the way, haven't I told you to drop the 'Miss' part from my name? We've known each other since seventh grade, you know", said Alicia.
"*laughs* We're teachers, Alicia. So we might as well act the part. There you go, just like how you always brew your coffee", responded Lily as she gave Alicia her cup of coffee.
"Thank you again, Lily. Ahh nothing beats a hot morning coffee in this eternal snowy weather", said Alicia as she was sipping her coffee.
"You're welcome, Alicia. I see you aren't doing your frantic morning research like you usually did these last few days. Are you done with that?", asked Lily.
"Yes I did, I've sent everything that I could gather to him. Sigh, that guy, why did he had to left the Academy... Otherwise he could've asked me to gather the information together instead. You know, just so that I don't have to do everything myself", explained Alicia while resting her head on her hand and continued sipping her coffee.
"Oh I just realized *laughs*. So you were helping Kyleas this whole time...", said Lily.
"Yeah, I should've used all that time to plan my research trip to Solano. I don't know why I chose to help him so willingly *laughs*", replied Alicia.
The two talked for a bit while sipping their cups of coffee.
"Anyway it's almost homeroom period. I have to head to my class, what will my students do without their beloved homeroom teacher *laughs*. I'll catch you later Lily!", she added before walking out of the library.
Alicia proceeded to walk towards her class, class A of the 11th grade, while still carrying her cup of coffee. She began the homeroom period like she always did, everything went normally for the whole period. As the period was about to finish, one of her students raised his hands.
"Oh do you have a question, Martin?", Alicia asked him.
"Umm no. But this whole period we've been trying to tell you that you might wanna look outside, Miss Alicia. Looks like you got a message", he replied.
