"Have you heard of the announcement, Lex?" Alex asked.
"Yes, Young Master," the Guardian of the North, who was using the alias 'Lex', replied calmly. "We will have exchange students coming from the Aurelion Empire, correct?"
Alex nodded in affirmation. "Do you think they will recognize you?"
"I cannot rule out that possibility," Lex admitted. "However, I dare say that I now look very different compared to how I looked many years ago. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to be careful. I will start wearing a mask starting tomorrow."
The two were currently inside Lex's small hut within the academy grounds.
This was quite far from the buildings used by students, so they were confident that no one would be able to eavesdrop into their discussion.
"Can you think of a reason why they would send exchange students here?" Alex inquired. "For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this."
