314 Mentor And Protege [Pt 2]

Fortunately, Neron's surprising behavior didn't last very long.

After welcoming me and embracing me—which was extremely awkward—he returned to his seat as though nothing ever happened.

Once he sat down, closed his eyes, heaved a deep sigh, and looked at me for the umpteenth time, he finally returned to normal.

'Weirdo…'

-----------------------------------------

"How long were you standing there? I'm amazed. I couldn't even detect you." Neron remarked.

We were both seated, separated by Neron's large headmaster table.

"Trade secret. Hehe. Besides, it wasn't like you were even trying." I chuckled.

"Welp, fair point."

Knowing his personality, even if I didn't reveal myself, it wasn't like I could harm him. Any amount of carelessness on Neron's part was inconsequential.

'While we're on that topic…'

"I see there's no form of defensive measure in your office. Why?"

I thought it was strange.
