He's definitely dead. Come back with a grudge against the teacher and protective over MC.
I'm more curious as to why her father and brothers are out to get her.
I really hope her friend is alive I like how protective and caring he is. I also really dislike Katsuragi at this point. His bad attitude was somewhat dismissible bc I thought he was just being a disciplined and serious master, but he’s not even teaching her about her skills or reaching her full potentional. Thank you so much for the chapter!!
I dont see that Katsuragi would be potential ml. Since he is more like protective yet strict big brother or guardian type tbh. The childhood friends more fitting with her, too bad based from the cover said no.
