"What?" Annie looked at the teacher, taking in her intricate clothes.
Melissa noticed Annie's stare and scoffed.
"Oh honey, have you never seen a teacher at Bondspire before?"
Unlike Annie, Jaster wasn't surprised by Melissa's outfit. In the game, Bondspire teachers always wore crazy clothing—sometimes it made him laugh while playing.
But something felt different. He didn't remember Spiritual Essence Studies being taught by her.
Jaster rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
I'm sure her name was Melissa. But I don't remember her looking like this...
He glanced at her again. She smiled back.
"It's so nice to meet you again, Jaster. Here, have a seat—you and your classmate!"
Annie and Jaster exchanged glances, then nodded.
They both sat at the tea table while Melissa poured hot tea into Jaster's cup.
Annie noticed Melissa's cat glaring at her, its blue eyes sharp and unblinking.
