I looked back at the direction, "So… What's happening now?"
The woman gave me a rather apologetic look, "Miss Aster… I… I can see how you have attracted Goddess Isre's attention now…"
I tilted my head at her, "What do you mean?"
She chuckled, "You must have trained really hard to have earned that level of proficiency in your skills and magic, right?"
I nodded slowly, "I suppose I did?"
"Well… As you might know, the heads of departments usually do not take in their own students or apprentices but they would pick out exceptional students to teach every year. One of the events that they will go out to seek apprentices is this event."
"Yeah… I kind of figured that when one of them said they wanted me… Unless they were trying to say it in a romantic or in the slavery sense."
She smiled at me, "I can assure you it is neither of the latter two."
"Right… So… What happened just now then? Why did they all suddenly disappear?"
