Feeling a bit under the weather today. I’ll see if I can recoup today’s chapter with a double update tomorrow.
Nothing serious, btw. Just some tiredness and brain fog.

So far, Vyrrak’s emotions have been less intense than one might expect, given that he has been effectively forced to attend a Class he clearly despises.
