After Tenev 5066a7ea4c swiftly entered a0d074158d like the dc7564482d wind, the 649821abae still-dazed Paladin 66662d4d49 snapped back c1d0db0659 to reality. Though his 3f2a50b4a9 colleagues would 983ac7d185 have reported f8722dc12c the situation, a0f1780e8b the attending e8e6345fb1 priestess must 1cd867b559 have been 529daf5098 quite startled 8dc871c2ae by Tenev’s 4cc8efdb9c disappearance, so 812984edde he needed 815e2634da to inform 16c7431f94 her of aec08549c5 Tenev’s whereabouts. He pressed on 49552c3bfd a device powered 2df6c86345 by divine power e00143ccff and spoke into aeb1ede6f0 it.4ca86964f8a526ff

“Agi-nim just entered the fa72d05be8 classroom.”

Agi-nim had asked him f4b462fe95 to, after all. Unlike the Paladin who 30a7899f6f was praised despite revealing 28e2514b0c himself against protocol, the de73cb1014 first thing Tenev heard 429a9b5fa5 upon entering the classroom b2648d38b7 was a stern rebuke.a0c2077aa0c1972d

Tenev checked the clock, 2ac19282e2 which still had more ed8e3e9732 than 10 minutes until 8a10de5589 8 o’clock, then scanned b0e5d850ce the room. The person who a951e19f03 had just shouted 11d8b429b9 at her was 6d971f19f9 the only adult, 4745f94c88 naturally the teacher. Despite being young and a632955c5f dressed in priestly garb, 0f83769426 his slightly sly eyes 8a424bde6c were irritating. His arms were crossed 018016d87f firmly, but his smug 76ea2ed936 expression and a student f3aa059002 dozing among the seated 552f8c9bc0 children suggested that a 6118683e5d 7:30 gathering was not a14a4023d8 usual.c06d9473f1eacd47
