After what felt like hours—or maybe days—Jules woke to the scent of potions and the sterile glare of a white ceiling.
What did I expect from fighting the strongest student present on school grounds…
Jules instantly thought as he lay on the bed.
He felt no pain which meant he had been treated.
Not wanting to ruin this peace and comfort, Jules turned his head around to observe his surroundings.
The moment he tilted his head, he was stunned.
He saw a red-haired girl seated near his bed, her head resting on the nearby cupboard as though she fell asleep while watching him.
Isn't this…
Jules instantly retracted his gaze before he alerted her and woke her up.
I should just sleep for now…
Not wanting to interrupt the sleeping girl, he slept back.
A few more hours slipped by before Jules stirred once more.
This time, he could feel the sun's light bathing the room.
He didn't open his eyes fully; he slightly lifted his eyelids and glanced sideways.
