- So... you think they will finally change the dress code then? – Tyler asked me after I informed everyone about the whole appearance before the Grandmaster. We were sitting outside in the backyard of the school. Hakare brought a blanket with her so it felt like a little picnic. It was me, Ty, Damien, Sarah, Hakare and Kianna.
- Well, they didn't really seem like it – I laughed. – Grandmaster Heik laughed so hard that the sorcerers decided to disconnect the magic mirrors, though.
- Good old man, always laughing on us – Damien smiled.
- I suppose everyone was pretty angry with you – Hakare seemed amazed by the fact that I was brave enough to tell them what I did. Well, no one could argue with me on this matter.
- I don't really care. There's no way I stay here after the Summoning – I said. That was bound to happen one week after the Choosing... but I supposed they were planning on advancing that date too. We already got the notification that next day, we'll have our official Choosing.
- Is it really wise to go out in a situation like this? – Hakare looked at Tyler.
- There was no attack since then. And believe me, if there was any danger, this girl here would know it in time – he put his hand onto the top of my head to ruffle my hair.
- Hey! – I slapped his hand away.
- Go on, eat, little piggie – Damien handed me a cookie. Ty somehow managed to grab some sandwiches and cookies from the kitchen, I supposed June helped him out. So, it really felt like a nice picnic with our best friends. Kianna got into the flow of the team well too, however, she never missed a chance to express how annoying we all were. We already knew that this was her way to say she loved us.
The next member in the group supposed to be Hakare's brother, Jason, who also got the permission to come with us in the evening. We planned on leaving the Palace at seven o'clock and we had to come back before midnight. Grandmaster Raffen was pretty gracious to us.
- Oh, look... the young master! – Hakare's face and voice gave away her excitement, yet she whispered... but pointed at the direction of him. Couldn't have been more obvious...
- Good gods – I sighed as I watched into the direction to see it for myself. For my surprise, young master Deán was walking in the company of his brother. I've never seen them together before today, but now this was the second time in a day.
- Hey, Winnie – Tyler poked my side and leaned closer.
- What?
- I'm gonna do something you won't like, I think – he grinned, then he popped up onto his feet and I realized what he was about to do.
- Tyler...
- Hey, hey, young master Rhenon! Young master! Come over here a little! – he was shouting happily, waving his arm... oh, gods. Hakare and Sarah froze down, Kianna sighed.
- Why are you doing this to us? – Damien shook his head. But for my biggest surprise, young master Rhenon – apparently this was the name of young master Deán's brother – looked at Tyler and smiled. He waved back and changed the direction of their route. For a moment, his younger brother hesitated, but then he followed him to us.
- Tyler, right? And Damien. And I've already met Winnie here, but we weren't introduced properly yet – he smiled again. His face... was full of feelings. Tyler was right. Young Master Deán must have inherited his personality from another part of his family.
Yet from the outside, the two brothers looked pretty similar. The older brother was shorter a little and was more built-up than his younger brother. He had the same beautiful hair, though, but much shorter, around the length of my hair. He tied the hair that would have fallen in front of his eyes up onto the top of his head, wearing it in a bun. Their faces looked similar, sharp and strong features, but young master Rhenon looked more cheerfully... all the time. It was almost scary to see how different the two of them were in the inside, while so similar on the outside. But I didn't have more time to wonder about this, because after Tyler introduced everyone to young master Rhenon, he popped the most unrealistic question ever:
