Dimensional Descent

Leonel didn't look very surprised when he looked up. There might be an ability out there that could catch his senses off guard, in fact, he had run into one during the Freshman Trials, but it was clear that this older woman before him didn't have one. Or, maybe she just thought that her previous concealment was good enough.

Magnaril appeared before the couple silently. Her greying hair was done up in an untidy bun, her appearance being somewhat eccentric.

She had thought that Leonel would be shocked by her appearance, but she was quite bitterly disappointed.

"Little Aina, is this where you've been? You didn't even leave a word behind."

Leonel curiously observed Aina. It seemed that these two knew each other?

Honestly, Leonel had thought that this was an elder Valiant Heart Mountain might have sent for the sake of trying to appease him.

In reality, Leonel wasn't aware of who was in the know about the affairs surrounding him. He hardly knew much about the structure of Valiant Heart Mountain, let alone understanding which elders were considered the highest echelon and which weren't.

But, it seemed that he was wrong. This meant one of two things.

Either Valiant Heart was no longer afraid of offending him, something that was highly unlikely. Or, the highest echelon weren't aware that he had been dragged into this matter at all.

How likely was it that the highest ranking members of Valiant Heart, existences deep within the Fifth Dimension, had time to care about prank posters posted about a freshman? They might not even understand who Raylion had been referring to.

"Elder Magnaril, what brings you here?"

After a small hint of surprise, Aina politely responded just the same way one would expect someone younger to speak to a member of the older generation.
