Episode 75 – Checkmate (1/2)
Elaru smirked and sneaked her hand inside the pocket of Dusk Rose’s jacket She pulled out a round badge with number 1385 on it Dusk Rose’s entrance exam pass
“I see, I see So, you were just an innocent exaroup…but wait…Kiel’s number is 5642 How is it that nurinned widely
Dusk’s innocent s 20 people with adjacent nuroup!
How did she know I placed my exam pass in that pocket?!
The nunature ink, which acted as glue for e difference in density of e wouldThe whole purpose of it was so that anyone could easily discern what nue
Naturally, Dusk Rose are of this fact, so he specifically wrapped his Mind around the pass to prevent the Minds of others froe, and therefore detect it
Since he was cautious to conceal the badge, it shouldn’t have been picked up by Elaru’s or anyone else’s mana sense
How could he have known that no ae frolowed so clearly to her she could easily read theht have been a lucky guess for all he knew He still s to adroup? What I ht next to each other”
Elaru burst out into a fit of giggles “Your classroom is not even in the Blue Quarters It’s in the White Quarters And your timeslot is in the afternoon!”
Dusk Rose couldn’t keep his face straight anyaped like a fish out of the water “How do you know that?!”
Elaru’s s when I checked round his teeth “Of course Blasted Eidetic ents trading in inforood memory was an important prerequisite for the job Every one of the their memory much better than memories of other people However, even within the Etezza faed to train their memory to the perfection of what mortal minds would allow
The memory of mortals, no le thing they see would stay is to re Eidetic es clearly if they concentrated on them However, since Elaru paid attention to re else she sahile she was checking the timeslot stayed ione through the training too, but while his mee person, he had never ed to reach the threshold of Eidetic Since he was used to excelling in everything he did, this failure turned into a sore spot
Seeing hiitated, Elaru patted his head like she was trying to cheer up a sulking child “Don’t take it so hard Your perfor for your age”
“Aren’t we the sae?!”
She waved his complaint away “Don’t compare yourself to aon Dusk Rose’s forehead, his cheeks were getting flushed out of agitation “I should have figured it out when youfun of uiltily and returned his exam pass back into his pocket “I ainst me That’s just… cute”
This is ridiculous Dusk Rose couldn’t help but lament I am a bloody assassin! I can’t believe there is a person abnorned Dusk Rose felt, no round his teeth, deep down he was clearly away that there was a large disparity between his own abilities and the abilities of Elaru Wayvin
The vixen put the pieces of the puzzle together as soon as she saw Dusk Rose holding Kiel Rroda She recognized he was under Façade, and deduced that histo do with Kiel Rroda
To avoid attracting the attention of passersby and the guardian, instead of confronting hinorant of the situation She also couldn’t afford to confront hie Therefore, the first thing she did aftercontact was to take possession of Kiel’s body
She approached theuard but also to display her ability to use augic All in preparation to use her ability to make his body float as an excuse to take Kiel Rroda off of his hands
After taking possession of Kiel Rroda, she walked alongside Dusk for a while in order to slowly envelop Kiel Rroda inside hersuspicion fro Kiel with her mana, Dusk would have been able to cast spells on Kiel to threaten his well-being
After his well-being was finally secured, she could have run away or confronted Dusk But whatever plan she initially had, it all changed when Dusk Rose shook her hand
For he had tried to poison her, and inadvertentlymuch easier for her All she had to do was pretend to be poisoned and lure hi, for a Shadow of her caliber, was extremely easy All Shadows had one skill in common – their ability to conceal mana They would wrap their mind around whatever they wanted to conceal from the Minds of others For Minds couldn’t touch the Minds of others They usually used mana concealment to conceal their own aura and avoid detection of their presence
Mana concealing abilities of Elaru Wayvin were clearly extree to control her Mind in such an intricate way to conceal the true density of her aura, but she also recognized the Façade spell, which ht the Façade spell
And one of the prerequisites for being taught Façade was the ability to conceal its usage
If Etezza fae of Façade, everyone would be able to feel the entire spell pattern of Façade, and then it would no longer be a secret spell Others would be able to copy the spell pattern and use it the their e, the Etezza faht them how to hide the spell pattern froeted the entire body, concealing the entire spell without concealing the entire presence of the person was near impossible To bypass that, the Etezza family included a dummy spell inside Façade Their members would conceal thethe spell roots and the dummy spell visible to the mana sense of others
Others would then think that Etezzas were using a co spell, while only those familiar with the Façade spell would be able to pick up on the little clues and recognize Façade
