Family...
Upon hearing this familiar yet strange word, Mary felt a moment of disorientation.
It took her a few seconds to gradually recall that she had indeed expressed her decision to her tutor a few days ago—she wanted to see her family.
The young female mage pursed her lips and hesitantly looked at her tutor: "Are they...?"
"In the upstairs living room," Daniel's yellowed eyes stared at Mary, "you'd better freshen up before going up—especially your hair."
"O-okay."
Mary promptly agreed, then somewhat absent-mindedly left the basement where the immersion capsule was set up. She returned to the first floor, entered the public washroom, reached out to turn on the water valve, and watched as the clear water supplied by the magic-guided water pump flowed from the metal pipes. The sound of the rushing water gradually calmed her mood.
Her family.
