"I overheard sothing about you this morning. Is it true?"
As Lee sat next to the couple, Dolly asked. Lee initially frowned, then got the outline of the information. But he did not let go of the perplexed expression, and probed-
"What is it, professor?"
Lee glanced at Drake, to see him silently chewing down the at. His mind soaked with the flavour of tenderness. Lee glanced back at Dolly and saw her brows knitted ever so slightly.
"Two students seem to have t you in the stadium, and have spared with a Split-jaw Hyena, which they certified as yours. Is it true?"
Lee gulped the cup, and responded-
"Yes. That is correct."
Dolly leaned onto the table and asked-
"Then is it true that you have tad a Perrafin?"
*nod*
Lee just nodded in acknowledgent to her query.
"A Perrafin?"
The na of the infamous winged beast snatched Drake's attention. As he heard the question, he also saw the response of Lee and winced.
*nod*
Lee nodded again as he chewed on another slice of at. After taking a sip of the Coco Milk, he glanced at Drake and saw his grimace face.
[Maybe he has so past with a Perrafin.]
'Could be.'
Lee was busy with his activity and finished his al within ten minutes. The food was more delicious than the Honey Bread and was drooling at first sight. This breakfast has always been great to savour and refreshing to the mind.
"You have tad a Perrafin?"
Lee Shen peered at Drake with an innocent face. He gave a smile and nodded in reply, which indicated that he agrees with his statent.
"How did you manage to ta the beast? That is a nightmare to most adventurers and cultivators alike."
Dolly probed as she expressed her curiosity. Lee placed the fork and knife back on the table and answered-
"I ca across the beast when it was severely wounded by soone. I was initially cautious. When I realised that the beast was injured, I attended its wounds. It appreciated my act of kindness. It was the Perrafin which initiated to form a soul link."
Without burdening himself to provide a detailed explanation, Lee Shen stood up from his seat and silently went to wash the dish. He ca back from the washroom, and placed the utensils at appropriate places, and left the cafeteria.
Drake and Dolly found his behaviour slightly unusual. Drake guessed that it might be because of prying into his secrets. Other than that, the head of the Spell Research departnt could not find any.

After exiting the academic building, Lee went straight to his room. Sothing had triggered him to walk straight to his residence.
"Hudson, D, what was the urgency?"
When he was responding to Dolly's query, a red panel had popped up with bold letters saying 'Warning!!'. It was this prompt which made Lee exit the cafeteria early and silently. Since Drake did not know about the system's existence, he attributed the reason to their probing for answers.
[The energy signature of an Amortal appeared in Zaxaluke!]
*Ba-dum*
Lee was pale by this revelation. His legs lost their strength, and he slumped on the bed. He very well knows what these entities are and what they are capable of. His heart began to beat irregularly, and Lee felt a weight over his chest.
Touching his chest, Lee forcefully cald his troubled drums. An unknown sensation of fear had been overshadowing his mind, and he felt his hands faintly trembling. But, he steeled his conscience and the tinge of threat went away.
"When was it?"
[When you were eating. It was very faint to even notice, but I was able to sense it. From its intensity, it seems that one of the Tubians living on Intellus made contact with the malicious masterminds.]
"Then we have no ti to lose! I am nothing in front of an Amortal. But I may be able to overpower a Tubian easily.
D, can you trace and lock on the energy signature's location?"
[That seems to be impossible. The concealnt is extre to its perfection, and did not leave any clues.]
While sitting on the bed, Lee Shen leaned forward. His elbows supported by his knees pressed the palms onto his face. The odd coldness of his hand felt aberrant.
"What are the Tubians trying to achieve by contacting Amortals?"
His mind was blank. The uneasiness of perplexion shadowed his face and Lee Shen was calculating the possible outcos but to avail. His computations found a dead end.
'Stats.'

Gazing at the screen, his unbelievably calm heartbeats made Hudson and D narrow their eyes. It was the first ti they saw Lee Shen clueless and blank. Finding the possibility of a full-scale war, they remained silent.
Hudson turned around and walked to the three chambers. His favourite part of the day was to observe and be in awe of the processes happening inside the glass cubes.
D sat in his chair like a statue. Whenever Lee began to brainstorm, an unshaped suspended blob of mass would appear. It was a symbolic expression of Lee's thinking. The absence of this amorphous object greatly disturbed Dnekewy.
"We had the resurrection of continents as a major problem, and that was more than sufficient. The info about Tubians only multiplied the level of difficulty.
And when I was thinking of befriending Tubians, they went and contacted the Amortals. Now I am like a toddler gawking at the oncoming waves of Tsunami."
