"I missed you so much, Professor!" Said Vicky while tightly hugging the old man.
In the months spent apart, Vicky now stood half a head taller than the Professor. It was ridiculous seeing a thirteen-year-old tower over the eighty-year-old.
Time wasn't kind to Professor Collins. His already thin, gray hair became basically non-existent. The area around his greenish-brown eyes looked especially wrinkled.
However, even though he looked much too old, his body felt fairly young. He stood and walked with his back straight, and had no problem doing physical tasks… He could even survive Vicky's tight hug!
"It's nice to see you too, Princess. I hear you've been learning how to fight, and you're pretty good! Someday you might even beat me!"
Everyone chuckled at the Professor's sarcastic remark, except Bea. She just snorted with pride while staring at Yvonne's form suspiciously.
