Gabriel who is under the sharp gaze of the director, simply chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Well, I never mentioned it."
Rafayel, unable to grasp the situation, could only watch this scene in confusion, a question mark practically floating above his head.
"I did hear from you that your son possesses two magic elements," the director said, narrowing his eyes, "but I was never told he was this powerful."
"Ah, well, even I didn't realize the full extent of it," Gabriel admitted with a casual smile. "I left his training to the individual instructors, after all."
The director let out a deep sigh. "Fine, I'll accept that answer for now. But you always never tell me the important things! Do you have any idea how much trouble that's caused me? At that time, you were completely unprepared for the entrance ceremony as well!"
"Ahhh… yeah, I was at fault for that one, Cane," his father replied dismissively. "But come on, that was years ago! Isn't it time to let it go?"
"Let it go?! Just because time has passed doesn't mean I've forgotten! Do you have any idea how much I had to clean up after you?!"
As the director's irritation grew, it became clear to Rafayel that he and his father had known each other for a long time.
However, finding out the details would require more courage than he currently had.
Before things escalated further, Thomas spoke in a calm, authoritative voice.
"Director, please calm yourself. Right now, we should be prioritizing Raffy first. If you have grievances with my Father, please save them for another time."
The director snapped back to reality and sighed.
"My apologies, Rafayel. When it comes to Atlas, I tend to lose my composure."
"N-No, it's fine!"
Wait… You lose your composure when it comes to my father?!
W-What kind of relationship do they have!?
Although Rafayel was dying to know more, the director swiftly changed the subject.
He crouched slightly to meet Rafayel's gaze.
"I understand your abilities now. Your power ranks among the highest in this academy. That's why I ask you to be mindful when using it. If you ever need guidance, you can consult with the two teachers here or your homeroom teacher, Alma. I'll also help you as much as I can, but since I'm not always at the academy, you can rely on them when I'm not around. Now, let me introduce them—Professor Ornindus, Professor Lenande."
The two teachers stepped forward.
"Nice to meet you, Rafayel," Ornindus said with a warm smile. "I am Ornindus Folles. I was your brother Greyson's homeroom teacher. Gabriel had already mentioned your abilities to me, but seeing your talent firsthand is still astonishing. Since our magic share the same water element, I expect we'll be working together quite often. I look forward to guiding you."
Professor Ornindus was a rare female instructor in this world.
Despite Rafayel's young age, she treated him with great respect, which he appreciated.
Next was Professor Lenande.
