Breathing the unique air filled with the sharp chill of the snow-capped mountains' frosty breath, Anvis slowly got up and walked to the edge of the terrace, then leaped out.
Below his feet, invisible Wind Elements transformed into stairs, gently supporting him, and brought him to the large arched window of the Duke's study.
"Who's there?"
Despite Anvis making every effort to conceal his presence, Duke Carrot in the study still noticed something odd outside the window at close range.
Seeing this, Anvis did not hide but gently knocked on the window, gesturing for the Duke to let him in.
"Anvis...? Shouldn't you be at Pamir Academy now?"
Inside the study, Duke Carrot lifted his head from the piles of documents, casting a puzzled look at the suddenly appearing figure of Anvis. He also waved his hand, lifting the Protection Magic on the window.
"You are right, my lord father, and indeed, there is another 'me' currently studying peacefully at Pamir Academy."
