Although Patrick's very existence had become the eye of the storm in White Town, his own daily life was peaceful. He had a life where he could half-heartedly attend classes, teach Matthew and Isabella in his spare time, and leisurely sip from a glass of wine for the rest of the day…
“Student Schneider.”
“Hm? What is it? Senior.”
An unfamiliar second-year senior approached and spoke to him, and Patrick asked back. And what that senior said was…
“The Chancellor is calling for you. You should go see him immediately.”
“The Chancellor?”
“Yes. And he called for the Princess as well.”
Patrick and Isabella were summoned at the same time. Having an inkling of what it was about, Patrick spoke calmly.
“I understand. Let's go.”
Patrick headed to the Chancellor’s office with Isabella.
Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
When permission was heard from inside, Isabella opened the door and entered.
And then…
“Isabella Black Atronia and one other have come at the Chancellor's call.”
The Chancellor gave a pleased smile at the disciplined greeting.
“Make yourselves comfortable. You too, Student Schneider.”
“Understood.”
When Patrick entered, several people were already waiting inside the Chancellor’s office. There were familiar faces and unfamiliar ones. Professor Leit and Alex.
