Episode 71 – Sudden Illness (2/2)

No… I can’t miss this exam… if I miss it… I will fail the entrance exa Kiel felt the person he was leaning on saying soht That the healers in the infirmary would fix him up in a ‘jiffy’

That person held him up and pulled him towards a certain direction Infirmary, one would think

Kiel felt a sense of dread and insecurity He didn’t even knoas taking him to the infirmary Could he even trust that person? Could people in the infirmary even help him?

Ironically, in this moment of need and helplessness, the only person he could think of was Elaru

A person that he knew very little about A person he didn’t quite understand A person that he wasn’t even sure he could trust

And yet, in his darkest hour, her face was the first one that came to mind

No matter how little he trusted her, he still trusted herKiel did before his mind turned to mush was to call out to her

When Dusk Rose received his mission, he wasn’t too thrilled about it This type ofhe usually accepted If he hadn’t been asked by higher-ups to take it, he wouldn’t have accepted it at all

Apparently, there weren’t h to take the mission, for the mission required one to be able to enter Muni Since Dusk Rose was currently participating in the Muni entrance exa the mission

The mission details stated that there was a possibility of another Shadow interfering with his mission, which h to handle a Shadow – another Shadow

And thus, the task fell onto Dusk Rose

Unlike the assassination missions he usually took, this et before they could take the exa them outside Muni where they would be picked up by the client

When Dusk received an iet, he suddenly felt much more interested in the mission

What a pretty boy! Such a pity…

Dusk clicked his tongue

And they say that we assassins are devious Plots of the nobles are much more devious if you askarrived, and Dusk Rose too arrived in front of Muni

The first thing he did was check when and where his own exa place

Apparently, in the afternoon Dusk had the whole et

Good Dusk smiled

His set had his exam Dusk almost swore out loud

Why did it have to be the first tiet while he aiting for his exae He didn’t have any ti him, his mission would end up as a failure

The only way he could ensure that he would cross paths with his target was if he waited in front of the target’s designated classroom

Thus, Dusk broke into a sprint and quickly et There, he blended into the crowd and patiently waited for his target to arrive

Time ticked too slowly Before Dusk even knew it, the doors of the classroom opened, and the examiners asked theht, but there was no sign of his target

Is he running late? Should I wait for hi?

While Dusk was deliberating what to do, suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted, and he had to suppress the sudden jolt of his own body

His mana sense suddenly picked up an additional person He seemed to appear out of nowhere! If Dusk wasn’t on full alert, paying attention to everyone in his surroundings, he would have missed the appearance of an additional person

Dusk’s pupils involuntarily shrunk That person was not only concealing their presence, but they had even turned invisible!

Iine Dusk’s surprise when he realized that that person was exactly his target

So a Shadow is indeed helping hi I decided to wait in front of the classroom If I had decided to wait anywhere else, he would have passed right next to me, concealed and invisible

Unfortunately, noas too late to stop his target froain blended in the crowd of exaht while not drawing any attention to himself

The examiners seemed to take hours to explain the exa a low profile the entire time
