"They hold it every five years? Or is it just this year?"
"It's a regular ritual. Although this time it's probably going to be a big one since the academy wants to reassure everyone."
It didn't make any sense. The guardian clearly said there had been no warding.
Reis had assumed that they were lying about holding it, but not actually doing it. He still thought so.
"What is it like?"
Nevan scratched his cheek, "I only joined a year ago, I haven't seen one yet. But the teachers say it's a very complicated ritual."
So he didn't know for real.
In any case, he had planned to look into this anyway, so it didn't really matter.
"Ah! Before I forget." Nevan pushed another envelope towards him.
The teacher who had grown a moderate aversion to letters could only sigh. "The headmaster told me to pass this on."
Reis opened the cover, and a silver card could be seen. "?"
"I don't know. But he invited you to meet him for tea tomorrow."
