The sense of dejection suddenly vanished, and a smile reemerged on her face as she continued to ask, "When did you advance? Was it recently?"
Colin's cheeks tensed slightly.
Lillian furrowed her brow slightly at his reaction, puzzled.
"Who would have thought that you had already advanced to a Second Rank Wizard," Shelley suddenly interjected, "Golden Feather truly lives up to its reputation."
Lillian turned her head, her attention shifting to the surprised Shelley.
Colin was visibly taken aback, but seeing Shelley gesture to him with her eyes, he subconsciously continued, "Yes, but I have no intention of revealing my strength for now. The internal situation within the School is complex, and being too conspicuous isn't a good thing."
He couldn't quite understand what Shelley was thinking... Wasn't this the time when she should unexpectedly say, "I saw you advance to Second Rank Wizard more than two years ago?"
