At dawn the next day.
The sky was blue and clear, with leisurely white clouds.
May's sunlight wasn't scorching. The backyard was teeming with spring's warmth, flowers blooming everywhere, a gentle breeze rippling through, causing shadows of the trees to interlace and dispersing streaks of coolness and floral fragrance. The sight of vibrancy and all life competing to thrive unfolded right in front of the eyes.
A leisurely day, a tranquil heart, a wonderful morning beginning slightly later than usual.
Wayne stood in his bedroom by the window, wearing only a pair of shorts. Looking down, he spotted Knight Teacher Valkyrie leaning against a large tree, waiting for her student Viley. In her hand, she held a small yellow flower, seemingly savoring the essence of spring.
It was supposed to be time for sword practice—but the student hadn't shown up and was still sleeping in.
