“10 Shadow Lunar eyes, 1 liter of Firescale dust…” Eruan Arite recited a list of strange items in a deep monotone voice

After reading out the list, his e in front of his desk “What is this? An alchemic recipe?”

Zerel Reysic stifled a giggle Who says Eri has no sense of hue report, but he still pretends to be ignorant

Unlike Zerel, who seehly a his lips, and his eyes were red, as if on the brink of shedding tears

“It…it’s…” Deora stae report”

Eruan’s cal form

“But it isn’twrong!” Deora proceeded to explain

Eruan Arite listened patiently until the end of the explanation And then, in a calm voice, as if all of this wasn’t even related to him, he spoke out: “You have caused ed in clai they’ve received a s so that the tomorrow’s issue of the Sibyl wouldn’t post an article about the so-called murder”

His emotionless purple eyes bore down onto Deora

“Worst of all, a considerable number of examinees haveaway from the scene”

Eruan Arite closed his eyes and rubbed his temples “I even received a report from the infirmary that an exae bump on his head”

He opened his eyes again and stared ade cube didn’t cause any head trauma Not to say that the experience wasn’t traumatic for the boy While he laid unconscious, he ended upthe written exams”

Deora opened his mouth a few tie thu Perhaps he should have told someone about it? Maybe if he had done so, they could have healed the poor sod in time for the exams?

Suddenly, Deora felt extreuilty about the matter Which was preposterous, since he was completely innocent! It was all the fault of that jinx!

After staring at Deora and Zerel hed and opened the first drawer of his desk, then he picked up the paper on top of the drawer

When Deora saw the paper, he started panicking “Noooooo… don’t deduct my pay! It’s not my fault!!”

Eruan Arite looked up at Deora and said a single sentence thatanother word “Who was it that slammed the door so hard that the shelves toppled over?”

The color drained slowly from Deora’s face as he watched Eruan Arite scribble down stuff on that blasted paper with his elegant handwriting

Zerel took this opportunity to pat Deora on his back “coly”

“Don’t be too sad little Dei There are 6 months left until March You would have lost that pay anyways So, what does it matter if you lose it now or lose it later?”

Deora’s bloodshot eyes turned to Zerel Within thee

Zerel pretended not to see it and continued “Besides, the lodging and the meals are free Even the unifor to die if you don’t get paid Also, doesn’t your farant you any allowance? You are a noble from the main bloodline after all”

Deora glared so hard that the veins in his eyes almost burst

Zerel suddenly see and looked at Deora apologetically “Oh I’ot that Thayns aren’t well off…”

Zerel suddenly covered his mouth with his hand bashfully He then proceeded to correct hihteous and don’t believe in spoiling their children I really adet paid It’s because of your strict rules that the members of the Thayn family are so well respected by the co justice and peace in the lands of Halnea Respectable, respectable”

If Zerel had said these words at any other tiht them to be cohteous tone Yet currently, to the furious Deora, those words sounded like taunts and the soft apologetic smile looked simply derisive

Suddenly, Deora’s pale face started fla up Deora’s neck

A soft cough caused the flames to freeze in their tracks

Both Deora and Zerel looked back at Eruan Arite as looking at them emotionlessly

“Zerel,” Eruan started “Hoould you explain the strange phenoo out of control?”

Zerel wanted to just shrug and claim that he didn’t have any ideas, but he saw the soleed his mind The situation was serious This was not the time to test his patience

Zerel pretended to cough, sing down the lies he intended to say He then slid his fingers through his long, dark purple hair before responding

“It was quite a peculiar occurrence Technically speaking, it is possible that Elaru Wayvin forcefully changed the spell shape after it was foro out of control However,”

Zerel paused briefly Eruan intertwined his fingers in front of him and continued calmly “However, you don’t believe that to have been the case?”

Zerel smiled coyly “If it were manually caused by her, the result wouldn’t have turned so chaotic And more importantly, she would have suffered from the backlash”

Everyone in the roo an already for one’s li it Not only would it be extre the e to experience a mental backlash

Eruan’s purple eyes flashed “And you believe she didn’t suffer any backlash?”
