Its narrow pupils resembled those of a snake.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; An old man was the audience of the woman. His green hood failed to cover his withering white beard and his hunched back. His wrinkled hands grasped on a wooden staff, both used as a cane to ease walking and as a weapon a wizard uses to fight.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Yes, my lady, everything is going as planned,\" the old man said, \"We've assigned our guards to the entry points, in case one of them attempts to escape. We've also placed a colosa san memoir ward around the city, ready to activate after we were done.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"I appreciate the efforts you provided for this, Andriel,\" the woman replied, \"But remember that we will only take ten of the potentials. We already have more than enough.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Yes, my lady.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"You fought at the war, correct?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Yes, my lady. From the beginning of it two scores ago. I still remember everything that happened, vivid in my memories.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"And that you single-handedly took out fifty mages at the Battle of Greenhold?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"That is correct, my lady. We were ambushed by our own men. I lost my left hand in the battle.\" Andriel raised his left hand, which reflected the torch hanging on the wall, \"Replacing it with a bionic arm, I could no longer perform as much as back then.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Then they relieved you from the army?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Yes, my lady. I then became teacher in the Academy.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Your knees are shaking, Headmaster.\" The wizard looked at his knees then back at the woman.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"I do not mean anything, my lady. Years of teaching kids are taking their toll. Hopefully, I die of old age and not by blade nor spell.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Hmm, interesting. You may now leave my presence.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"Thank you, my lady.\" Andriel then left the dark room.\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \"The project is entering the final stage,\" the woman thought after the headmaster's footsteps faded from the hallways, \"Assuming all will go well, we could finally end it.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
