Chapter 228 - Survival Skills of the Students (1/2)

Isidorus went into deep thought. He had tightened the security to such an extent that even a bird couldn't enter the wizard kingdom unless wanted. He raced his mind everywhere but couldn't pinpoint the problem. He said, ”It is highly possible that someone from inside is helping them. I will put my people on high alert. However, you have to play as if you don't know anything about it, okay?”

Adrianna nodded.

”How come the students didn't assemble in the gardens today in the morning? Professor Ziu was supposed to announce the second stage of competition,” she asked remembering how temperamental Professor Ziu was in the morning.

”It seems that the ministry hadn't sent the final draft to him…”

”So when will they announce it?”

”Perhaps tomorrow,” said Isidorus.

Adrianna went on to narrate her day at Mihr's house that day. Isidorus laughed. He noticed that there was a scar on her cheek. ”I hope this heals fast so that no one is suspicious.”

”It will heal by the morning,” she replied. ”You are finding this funny, but I was scared that if anyone found my disguise, I'd be dead.” She started laughing nervously.

Isidorus stared at her as he realized. ”How come no one could detect you?”

”Because I disguised myself,” replied Adrianna with a shrug.

Isidorus blinked his eyes at her.

Then she went on to talk about how strong an opponent Mihr thinks she is totally oblivious of his looks.

Everyday Isidorus was getting to know something special about Adrianna. He wanted to crown her as soon as possible. Only if those opponents started yielding just a wee bit…

At the end of the conversation, Isidorus said, ”Adrianna, be careful from now onwards. We have thrown the bait at Mihr. It is possible that he may not take it, so just don't do anything that will make you look foolish.”

Adrianna smiled and gestured zipping her lips. She was beginning to like Isidorus and could even joke with him occasionally.
