Selina forced a smile. "Come on now. Don't look at me like that."
The receptionist chuckled. "Your familiar is really feisty."
"Familiar?" Selina raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. He is your familiar, right?"
"What is a familiar?"
"Your mother didn't tell you? Oh, right. I'm sorry. I forgot that she is gone. Please accept my sincerest apologies."
"It's alright. But it sounds like you know how she dies?"
"I do, actually. But it is classified. I can't tell you anything, Selina. You will have to learn about it yourself once you reach the appropriate level."
Selina clenched her fist tightly. Suddenly, all the anxiety and doubt inside her were gone.
"Please guide me to the examination."
"Of course."
The receptionist typed something into her computer before turning back to Selina.
