We are normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien shook his head slightly but said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Noah spoke again, curiosity in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way... I was curious... I heard you don’t like noble young masters... then why are you nic— I mean, why are you okay with me? Is it because I am handsome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Arisha’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint frown appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slightly annoyed tone, she said, \"Now you are sounding narcissistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she continued calmly, \"The reason why I am okay with you is simple. First, you beat that idiot guy who was trying to insult a girl in the cafeteria...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused briefly before continuing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... how you fought against the enemy rather than running away. Together with others... that puts you as a good comrade for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice remained steady as she added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lastly... you are exiled... no longer a noble. Just a commoner like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those last words felt like an arrow striking his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s expression didn’t change much, but something inside him shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he let out a small laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha! Okay... thanks, I guess. Now I think we could be good friends since we are both commoners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others listened quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm expression, Damien said, \"I don’t know what you have done in the past or why you acted that way before... but right now... you seem like a better person to me as well, Noah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyria nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft smile, she said, \"Every person can change if they put their mind into it... I believe Noah has changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard scratched his cheek awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I kind of like this guy’s new personality. He was such a bas— I mean... he really had a bad personality before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly corrected himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah understood, but he didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small smile formed on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems my reputation is at least getting better among these guys.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, guys...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group continued walking through the long hallway, sunlight streaming through the tall windows, casting long shadows on the polished floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their footsteps echoed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the atmosphere felt lighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy footsteps echoed from behind. All of them instinctively turned around. From the other end of the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two figures were approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was extremely tall, easily around or even over 200 cm. His broad frame and muscular build made him stand out instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Draven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him walked Regnar, his light gray hair slightly messy, and his tiger-like ears twitching faintly as he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them still had some bandages visible, but their presence remained as imposing as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah’s face lit up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide smile spread across his face as he raised his hand and waved energetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi! Over here!\" he called out loudly. \"Come here, my friends!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard blinked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Friends already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regnar noticed them and smirked slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draven simply looked at them with his usual calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked closer, their heavy and steady steps echoing in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual tone, Regnar greeted, \"Yo. You guys heading to the Principal too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah nodded with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Got summoned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draven crossed his arms slightly, looking at the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same,\" he said briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyria gave a gentle nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good to see you both are fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regnar chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine? I was better yesterday. But yeah... still alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Draven glanced at Noah for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple words. But they carried weight. Noah scratched the back of his head lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We all did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arisha remained silent, but her gaze briefly shifted toward Draven and Regnar, acknowledging them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien stepped forward slightly. \"Let’s not keep the Principal waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting more time, the group of seven turned and started walking together toward the Principal’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their footsteps echoed in unison now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group that had fought together. Survived together. And now, they were about to face something far more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked through the long corridor in silence once again, their footsteps echoing faintly against the polished floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached a large wooden door at the end of the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was grand, carved with intricate patterns, giving off a heavy and authoritative presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above it was a simple metal plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone slowed down slightly as they approached. A faint tension settled over the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Leonard, who was usually relaxed, straightened his posture a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien stepped forward, his expression calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth to speak. \"We—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish. A deep, authoritative voice came from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all can come in.\" It was heavy and cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exchanged brief glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien didn’t hesitate.He placed his hand on the handle and pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened slowly. They stepped inside. First Damien, then others behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office was spacious and well-organized. Tall bookshelves lined the walls, filled with countless books and documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large window behind the desk allowed soft light to enter, illuminating the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center, behind a large wooden desk sat Adrian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a beige-colored shirt and black pants. His posture was straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His black eyes were calm, yet cold and authoritative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they entered. His gaze moved across each of them. His gaze was sharp, observant and measuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group instinctively stood straighter as they approached the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke. No one moved unnecessarily. They stopped in front of him in a line. For a brief moment silence filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Adrian leaned back slightly in his chair, his expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes rested on them one by one. Finally in a calm but heavy voice, he spoke, \"Good to see you all are recovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1017,"2026-06-05T19:56:14.521Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1f1f279a76b68898f6075056f73f13dee9305b67097c5e4739b8614bd26e771","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-60","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-58",144,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-cover.jpg"]
