He was an Arite Arites didn’t waste their ti around like normal people

By the Gods, it would be aard if he, the heade university, actually walked across the cas had a specially es could set up their teleportation points and Eruan visited his regularly,sure that they never ran out of mana

And so, he popped up into the teleportation area of the Sapphire Quarters Yet, who could have predicted that the first thing he heard after his arrival was an explosion coht was – Wasn’t Deora banned froht was – For the love of Origin, please let the the queue in front of ly, when he scanned the afflicted classroo to do with this incident (Well, that’s a first…) and ranny of the Sapphire division was present at the scene Thus, he concluded he had nothing to worry about There was certainly no need to interrupt their exam, situation under control

Eruan let out a breath of relief and fleards the Spell Breaking department on the sixth floor

A quick sweep of his mana sense revealed that the three antiques were inside a classroom, apparently in the middle of an exam?

Eruan’s eyebrows furrowed Was there so exa by the ti to an end any second Eruan’s eyebrows relaxed and he decided to just wait for the examinee to leave and confront the trio in the classroom

Unexpectedly, 10 n that the exa to an end

Eruan’s pale forehead creased as he considered re the trio that the allotted time for the exam had already passed

After all, he was the headmaster, his every ?

Just as he was about to knock on the door he noticed that the exa, thus he stopped himself

Yet, before he could even step away from the door he heard a muffled thump and several squeals

His eyebroitched, and decisively, he opened the door with one hand while si with the other (After all, it wouldn’t be polite if he just went in without knocking)

The scene that entered his eyeswooden

Four bodies laid sprawled on the floor The three esteeirl, lookingweakly lifted her red head to look at him with a pale face and puckered her lush red lips

Then she let out a tired sigh and swiped her thumb under her nose to wipe away her nosebleed before it reached her mouth

The trio of old men also looked up, their faces stuck in between shock, eaze didn’t e teal eyes were deep and cal water There was no place for surprise, pain, or fear in those clear eyes

Eruan’s facial expression remained calm and composed, however, inexplicably, he felt his hair stand on end Unsettling, uncanny sense of fah acquaintances with si

The closest resemblance that he could pinpoint was the similarity of color to the eyes of councilaze left on hi stared at by Zaal felt like being stared at by a poisonous viper Yet, the gaze of this girl held no danger, no hostility Just unreadable depth Her aura also held absolutely no resemblance to any member of the Etezza fa of fa, someone else…

Eruan Arite stood still for aof the confusion inside, rehts flashed by in an instant, only several seconds of silence passing by

“What is going on here…?” Headmaster Eruan opened his mouth to ask

However, before the words left his mouth, the three old or that should have been impossible for their old bones

“I swear, headmaster, it’s not what it looks like!”

“It was an accident! Accident!”

“Nothing inappropriate happened!”

The three spoke up at the sa their words

The uiltier they looked, and theEruan’s aura became His eyebrows never furrowed, his eyes didn’t beco, he didn’t even speak, however, his ra like a child that co

His presence was enough to inspire obedience

“Who can explain what is going on here?” Headh the air, the un everyone else

After explanations and apologies from the headmaster and the three old men, Elaru was advised to visit the infirmary and finally allowed to depart The trio wanted to protest but one look at that pretty face of the headh to make them shut their mouths

Papa once told Elaru that Eruan Arite was a srasp the weaknesses of his opponents and hit theht amount of force

If outsiders looked at it, there was nothing inappropriate about his punishht Yet in truth, there was clever psychological warfare involved, ely dreaded

She felt assured that the trio would receive their due punishhts of the trio behind as soon as she closed the classroom door

Without further ado, she erased her presence, wrapping herself in her mind cocoon and layers of invisibility She had just flown several meters down the corridor, when her entire vision turned dark
