Merlin pushed the buzzer of the headmaster’s home. Unlike his previous uninvited appearances at the place, the gate was locked this time. After all, it was already evening, and only a matter of time before night came. He was already readying himself for Miss Eun-Wol’s cold gaze, welcoming his rude behavior of not requesting a meeting with the headmaster ahead of time and appearing whenever he felt like it. And he realized that he was messing up, but these days, his curiosity was eating into him far quicker than before. And he couldn’t wait for the headmaster to reply to an email, which was why he came all the way to the man’s home instead. Well, there would be nothing he could do if he was chased away, but it was worth a shot. “I just hope Blue doesn’t freeze up the dorm before I get back,” Merlin mumbled to himself. “He looked like he had gotten everything I said, though. Goodness, taking care of a dragon is such hard work.” Merlin’s attention snapped to the inner quarters of the headmaster’s manor as the door to the main building swung open. Instantly, he froze in his steps. It was like he was staring into the eyes of a predator, and the closer Miss Eun-Wol walked towards him on the other side of the gate, the more he felt the urge to run. It would be a miracle if she didn’t rip his head from his neck. “Merlin Tyrrell,” said Miss Eun-Wol as she arrived before him, narrow eyes gleaming with disappointment as she stared at him. “What a way to announce your return to the academy.” Merlin swallowed dryly then chuckled. He noticed that she hadn’t added the ‘master’ she had grown to affixing his name with, and that was what she always did when she was angry. At least, the few times he had noticed that. “Good evening, Miss Eun-Wol,” Merlin waved stiffly. “How have you been?” “Good enough to recall me telling you that arriving uninvited is unappreciated,” she replied, her eyes narrowing even more. Merlin heaved out a sigh. “I’m sorry.” “May I add those words in the overflowing jar of ‘I’m sorry’s’ I’ve received from you?” Merlin’s eyes twitched. Okay, he hadn’t realized she was that sassy. That was a new perspective to her he hadn’t seen before. “It’s important,” Merlin went on. “It always is, isn’t it?” “Could you just tell him that I’m here and need to see him?” said Merlin. “He wasn’t at the orientation, I would have talked to him then.” “Did you ever wonder why he wasn’t there?” Miss Eun-Wol raised a brow. Merlin nodded. “I thought he wasn’t at the academy. Perhaps paying Nikolai a—” He paused and Miss Eun-Wol pursed her lips. “That’s not the point. I was told he was around.” “By who?” Eun-Wol asked. “My dorm master.” She clicked her tongue. “That blabbermouth.” Merlin blinked amusedly at that. Had she been planning on dismissing the information he had received as a lie depending on who had given it to him? Another perspective to her he hadn’t seen before. “If he asks me to leave, I will,” Merlin continued. “At least, let him know that I came.” Eun-Wol appraised him for a moment before sighing deeply and turning around. “This is the last time, Master Merlin.” Oh, ‘master’ was back in the frey. “I won’t even open the door to see you next time.” Merlin placed a hand on his chest. “Cross my heart and hope to die. I promise that this is the last time.” If there was anything that Merlin was certain of, it was that the headmaster would never deny him an audience. And he was proven correct once again as he was ushered into the headmaster’s office, breathing in the familiar floral scent that was emitted by the flowers spread out in the room. “Hello, Merlin,” greeted Headmaster Im Ilseong. He was seated, facing his window. “Have your seat.” “Thank you,” said Merlin as he sat down on the other side of the table. “Would you like some tea?” Headmaster Im Ilseong asked. “I’m fine, thank you,” Merlin replied. “I actually didn’t want to bother you, but I’m very curious about something, and I would be unable to sleep if I didn’t satiate my curi
