The rhythmic clatter of hooves echoed across the training ground as they entered at ground zero.
Students turned in unison, their murmurs rising like a wave as two horses appeared at the edge of Ground Zero.
Behind them was Cecelia. On the front atop was Cecelia's brother, Erainlia.
"Is that… Cecelia's brother?" a girl talked among themselves and her cheeks turned pink.
"He looks so handsome…" another added, clasping her hands together dramatically.
"Handsome?" a boy scoffed under his breath. "He looks more like he's here to show off. Who rides a horse into training grounds?"
"Maybe they wanted everyone to notice them," someone muttered, earning a stifled laugh from a few nearby.
Even the professors reacted. Professor Orwen raised a brow while he was about to say something but he chose to stay silent.
Professor Sylvia, on the other hand, stood in a serious mood.
"Cecelia!"Elysia stepped forward from the rows of students and she felt relief.
