Shadow Slave

Chapter 772

Some time later, all five members of the cohort finally found themselves alone. The Fire Keepers were still around, but decided to give their leaders some much-needed privacy. As the result, only Nephis, Sunny, Cassie, Effie, and Kai remained in a spacious hospital room.

Changing Star was standing by the window, looking at the peaceful landscape of the Academy ground with a strange, still expression.

They were still struggling to get used to this new reality, but a warm wave of relief and happiness was slowly rising in their hearts.

Sunny was no different. It was just that his joy was somewhat overshadowed by a contradicting feeling of unease and apprehension.
