The girls, excited, left with Liana, while Daniel stayed behind because he wanted to talk to the academy director for a bit.
As for the Turtle's Tear, they agreed it would be given to them next week, since it wasn't currently accessible.
"Well then, young man, what's new?" Philip said as he sat down, motioning for Daniel to do the same.
"Last time, we didn't really get to talk after clearing that dungeon. Also, I appreciate that you helped my sister and Tiana today—it means a lot to me."
"No need to mention it. Alice and Tiana are some of the best students we've ever had. They may be talented, but they're also humble and not arrogant."
Daniel nodded. He hadn't really dealt with many geniuses, so he couldn't say whether that was true or not—but he knew that, at least from his own experience, both his sister and Tiana were kind and well-mannered toward him.
