The moment Adam stepped inside the room, all eyes were on him.
When the Mana Liquefaction Magi standing by the walls saw him, some of them had expressions of awe and reverence on their faces.
While most… were simply dumbfounded.
Arriving at such an important gathering more than thirty minutes late, with a gourd of wine in hand, and reeking of alcohol was inconceivable to them.
Forget them, even the Wardens, the mighty Mana Vortex Magi, were flabbergasted by his arrival.
Adam ignored them all and silently walked toward the round table occupying the center of the chamber.
On his way, he scanned the Magi standing by the wall with his dark eyes. Naturally, most of them averted their gazes.
When he saw his three students, he couldn't help but faintly smile. He winked at them, causing them to straighten their backs.
There was a flicker of smugness in their eyes as the rest of the Magi stole glances at them.
