"Renimid whispered to . You, your servant seems to miss her sister a lot. How about giving her so ti off?"
At Isabella's words, I desperately tried to maintain a calm deanor.
But it wasn't going as well as I'd hoped.
'Has Isabella's [Mind Reading] ability returned?'
The probability is very high.
During our conversation, I hadn't ntioned Amy even once.
It was strictly business talk.
Moreover, very few people currently know about Amy's younger sister.
Other than herself, only a few mbers of Equilibrium are aware.
'I'm not sure where Isabella saw Amy, but it's certain that she read her thoughts.'
Furthermore, Isabellas phrase starting with "Renimid whispered to " is a recurring line she uses in the ga when conveying content she's read through mind reading.
...How far did she read my thoughts?
Did she uncover my plan to equip Alphs with the full set of [rcy of Renimid] and turn her into the new holy figure of [Order of Light]?
Or my intention to exploit Isabella over ti?
Or even the fact that I'm a possessor?
There was no clear answer.
My head was filled with chaotic doubts.
Suppressing my anxiety, I looked into Isabellas eyes.
"Yeah, why? Anything else?"
She tilted her head, looking at with wide eyes.
Judging by her deanor, it seems she hasn't figured out that I'm a possessor.
If this is an act, then she deserves every award in modern cinema.
...Anyway, it seems best to leave this place as soon as possible under the current circumstances.
"No, I should be going now, Isabella."
I quickly exited the student council room.
'Sigh.'
My heart is still unsettled.
In tis like this, training is the answer.
After sweating it out, I should be able to regain my composure.
With that thought, I headed back to the training grounds.

I don't know how much ti passed as I imrsed myself in training.
Looking at my wristwatch, it was already evening.
I felt completely drained, barely having enough energy to walk.
Gurgle
My stomach growled, reminding it was ti to eat.
Having cald down, I decided to wrap up the training for the day.
I had dinner at the student cafeteria, just like lunch.
Later, while on my way back to the dorms on the carriage,
I suddenly rembered what Isabella had ntioned about Amy's thoughts.
'She misses her sister a lot...'
Amy's sister, Selena, is being held by Equilibrium.
If Amy suddenly thought of her sister, it's highly likely that Equilibrium assigned her a distasteful mission.
Click, click- the pieces fit together.
...Considering she asked about my schedule on Friday, it must be a mission related to happening that day.
'If Equilibrium wants sothing from ...'
It's unlikely they desire my death, as I'm still of use to them.
Then, it's probable they are after my abilities.
Especially my [Magic Nullification], a skill used by Jang Woohee and her father, the leader of Equilibrium.
In the ga, Equilibrium has always sought talented individuals regardless of origin, race, age, or gender.
Currently, they are an organization larger than one could imagine.
Which ans they are constantly in need of manpower.
According to the ga, in the past, their main source of inco was assassination, but now they make more money by investing in promising companies and guilds rather than relying on assassinations.
Of course, their roots in blood money haven't disappeared, and about a decade ago, they even waged war with a small kingdom.
But what they've done or their shady aspects don't really concern .
I might be the one with the dirtiest tricks in this world.
Ever since my possession, I've been wildly active, and I plan to be even more so in the future, so the stench will only grow stronger.
'There's a lot to exploit.'
And it's better for the dirty ones to stick together; it lessens the stench.
...I don't know exactly what they want from yet.
While I was sorting out these thoughts, the carriage stopped at the Knight Departnt.
That reminds , the Knight Departnt has the caf 'Naru's Garden.'
Amy really liked the desserts there.
"..."
After getting off the carriage, I headed to 'Naru's Garden.'
I packed up different types of desserts and then headed back to the dorms.

The next day around lunchti, inside the first male dormitory of the academy.
Sitting on a chair, Amy glared at a paper on her desk.
'I couldn't say it after all...'
She hadn't been able to tell Theo the truth.
She was determined to speak up... but seeing him nonchalantly handing over desserts, she found herself unable to say a word.
However, the order from the organization is absolute.
She must inform the organization of a eting place between Theo and the organization's executive by today.
Just then, when her head was pounding with stress,
Buzz-buzz
The communication crystal rang.
It was a call from Theo.
Amy hurriedly pressed the receive button.
"...Yes, Young Master. This is Amy."
If you're free on Friday, let's have dinner together.
"...Yes?"
Amy repeated in surprise, an unusual response from her.
She had been pondering Theo's destination on Friday, and the situation just fell into place.
...As if he had read her mind.
Theo continued.
Just as I said. Let's have dinner together. Amy, book sowhere you'd like to go. After 5 PM would be good.
"Ah, understood. I'll make the reservation and let you know."
Alright.
With that, the call with Theo ended.
Amy silently looked at the communication crystal for a mont.
"...Right."
Though it's the executive's job to persuade Theo, today, she must confess everything she's been holding back.
From her past as an undercover agent in the Waldeurk household to why she's by his side now, everything.
She wondered how Theo would react after hearing the whole story.
Would he be angry, knowing she had been deceiving him all this ti?
Or would he dismiss her, deciding not to be played by her anymore?
"..."
Either way, it's bound to be a bitter future.
But she must tell him.
...It's the right thing to do.

The second day of team lessons in the Hero Departnt was held in the arena, just like the first day.
The class ended around 6 PM, about an hour and a half later than usual.
Students poured out of the arena, chattering loudly.
"Man, today was tough too. That arena has everything. I never thought we'd suddenly be dropped into a maze."
"But it was better than yesterday, right?"
"Are you kidding? Oliver, that guy... Ah! My side still hurts."
"Hmm, our team still doesnt quite gel. Let's go to the training ground for about 30 more minutes before dinner. We may not be like Theos team, but we should at least aim for the top ranks, right?"
"Let's go!"
"I agree~!"
Theo imdiately had dinner with his teammates.
Of course, they ate at the student cafeteria.
During the al, Seria spoke up.
"Hehe, we were first today, wouldn't it have been better to celebrate sowhere other than the cafeteria?"
Everyone, except Theo, nodded in agreent.
Theo replied nonchalantly.
"That would be too much hassle. We cant dine out every ti. We will keep being first anyway."
"Hmm, that's true."
Irene agreed and quietly ate her spaghetti.
Alice and Alphs felt confused.
Their attitudes implied that being first was a given.
But they couldn't argue with that.
Theo had won every competition he participated in and continuously ranked first in practical evaluations.
The two of them just ate their al in a mixed state of emotions.
After dinner and individual training with his team, Theo returned to the dormitory.
"You're back, Young Master."
Unexpectedly, Amy was waiting in the hallway.
Theo nodded slightly and waved his hand, indicating she should go to her room to rest.
However, Amy didn't go into her room but approached Theo.
"...I have sothing important to tell you, Young Master."
Theo looked down at Amy calmly.
Her expression was usual, emotionless, but her lips were tightly shut, as if she had made a firm decision.
Her eyes were slightly trembling.
Theo nodded slowly.
"Let's talk inside."
Creak
Theo opened his room door and went in.
Amy followed him.
