The next day, after classes, Ronan entered the Runic Arts Club room. He'd missed the last meeting, so this was his second time attending.
The atmosphere was quieter than before. The room was filled with books, rune plates, diagrams, tools, half-finished arrays, and students working.
Princess Seraphina was there. Sapphire was there. Emerald Sustrei was also present, if he remembered the green haired girl's name correctly.
The two siblings were gone. They'd stopped attending lessons. From what Seraphina told him during their spar, the two had been told off by Victoria, having "no talent."
Victoria walked in.
She greeted them all noramlly. She didn't ask Ronan for the reason for his absense last week.
Instead, she asked for the book she gave him last week. The one covering all the fundamentals of runic arts.
Ronan pulled it out and handed it to her.
