“Then is there soone else beside you here?”
The girl asked, like I was being strange.
Gasp, was she seeing right now?! But no one spoke to ! Did my magic co off when I wasn’t aware?
“Oh, but you’re not wearing a uniform. Are you an outsider just sitting in?”
“Yeah.”
I ended up answering. Uh, although technically, I snuck it. But thankfully, it seed like outsiders were allowed to sit in during lectures. I was relieved at the girl’s understanding.
“Oh. I thought you were a student because you were so familiar. Oh wait, are you a senior?”
“N, No.”
T, This situation was awkward. Why had the magic suddenly co off? There wasn’t a reason why it wouldn’t listen to . Ah, was it actually a good thing it ca off now?
“Okay…then I’ll be off first.”
She tilted her head, thinking sothing was strange, and turned back around.
I narrowed my eyes questioningly. Then this ant I might not be able to teleport suddenly if my magic didn’t work. Then how was I supposed to go outside?
But then she suddenly paused in the doorfra, and whipped her head back at .
“Ackk!”
I jumped in surprise at her shocked shout.
“The missing princess of Obelia!”
“Gasp!”
“Yeah! I saw you in the viewing stone!”
The female student’s eyes widened in understanding. I stood there, frozen, not able to speak.
The student walked towards in disbelief. Everyti her shoes clacked on the ground, I flinched.
“I’m correct, right? You’re Princess Obelia?”
“Y, You mistook for soone else!”
“Ah, wait!”
I imdiately tried to teleport away. Magic, please listen to this ti!
Whoosh!
Thankfully, the girl started to beco blurry and when I opened my eyes again, I was standing smack dab in the middle of a grass field.
“Shoot.”
I thought my heart was gonna beat out of my chest! I felt like I was gonna die because it was beating so fast.
I plopped down between the grass. My goodness, what exactly was that person to be able to recognize like that. Didn’t she say sothing about a viewing stone? Did the viewing stones Claude send out already get to Atlanta?
Because I was so shocked, I was shaking. I grabbed my head and scread.
Wasn’t that girl going to tell the palace right away that I was here? But since she saw disappear right in front of her eyes, it didn’t matter. And I was in this field now.
Dang, I was so surprised because this was the first ti soone recognized my face so fast. W, Wow. How thrilling.
I lied down on the grass to sohow calm myself down.
I thought I would be able to stay in Atlanta for a while, but I got caught faster than ever.
Aw. Then where was I supposed to go? I didn’t have to go back since I could just make money.
I continued to think on the grass and flicked my finger again.

“Ugh, the professor assigned 4 assignnts today.”
“3 for . Are they trying to kill us?’
I sighed, feeling the breeze in my hair. It felt different looking at the sun from the roof.
Right now, I was in the school from earlier.
After all, they said the beacon didn’t shine on itself, so if Atlantan people found out that I was in Atlante, this was the last place they’d look if that girl said she saw here.
Wouldn’t it be difficult for them to think that I would co back here? I, If not, never mind. Ahem.
I was watching everyone’s movents with my invisibility magic on the rooftop. But I had this strange feeling from before.
Did that student not tell others she saw ? It was quiet not only in school, but outside as well. And it wasn’t like security had gotten tighter either.
“Hm.”
I looked down at the students down below.
I wanted to change my outfit to the uniform and shalessly walked around, but I thought it would be rude so I didn’t. Yeah, wearing a uniform at my age wasn’t right. Ugh.
So I decided to return to where I was staying after the sunset and continued to look at the sun. Ah, this was nice.
“Cough cough.”
Hm? I heard the sound of soone pretending to cough…..
“Uh, sorry to speak to you so suddenly. But it’s a bit dangerous there. It could be slippery because it rained yester…..”
I looked over towards the direction of the sound. And I scread at the close face.
“Ack!”
I backed up, and suddenly, my body started to slide down!
“It’s dangerous!”
Thankfully, soone grabbed my hand just in ti.
Why! This was such a creepy school! Why are you doing this to !
“Co up carefully. And don’t let go of my hand.”
I found out the place I had been was near a small window, and entering it, I realized I was in a small attic room. Why did a school have an attic?
“Uh, it’s a bit ssy because it’s a storage room…..”
Oh, a storage room. I cald myself down and looked at the female student looking at . It was the silver-haired girl from the lecture hall, and she looked like she was embarrassed to be with in the storage room.
I warily stepped back.
“H, How did you know I was on the roof?”
“Mm. I saw you when I was passing by.”
She spoke with an abashed face.
Ahhh! She was like a ghost!
I tried to use my magic again. But she quickly shook her hand with a troubled face like she realized what I was trying to do.
“Um, wait a minute. I won’t tell anyone. I haven’t told anyone about what happened in the lecture hall either.”
I looked at her with suspicion, but it seed like she was telling the truth. And she didn’t seem to be planning sothing behind her back either.
But could I trust her? It would be better if I didn’t teleport away now because my body might not be able to take it after using magic so much…..
Eventually, I hesitatingly put my hand back down. Then the girl stepped back as if to help be more at ease. I put distance between us and leaned against the window.
But because I was headed towards where the sun was shining, she exclaid, looking at my face.
“Ah. I thought those eyes were fascinating. It must’ve been because they’re those royal eyes that I heard about.”
I flinched at what she said.
Creak!
But then, the door burst open. The girl and I both jumped at the sound.
“What are you doing here?”
It was a male student with silver hair. That was strange. Silver hair wasn’t that common, so how were the first two people I t at this school both silver-haired? Was silver hair not that rare in Atlanta?
Wait! Was I caught by this male student too? Was I?!
“E, Erich. Since when were you there?”
“Why are you stuttering like a fool?”
But the male student continued to speak to the female student without even looking at .
“Did you think I’m free enough to follow you around? I just saw you going in this room when I was passing by.”
She snorted and looked around.
“But there’s no one here. I thought I heard people talking. What are you doing here by yourself?”
I was instantly bewildered. What? He was saying there was no one else in this room even though I was standing right here? I saw the eyes of the girl standing next to being filled with question marks as well.
She wrinkled her nose and thought about sothing for a while and completely hid the surprise in her face to speak casually to the male student.
“You don’t have to know what I was doing. Just go on your way.”
“You’ll be late to the conference if you don’t leave now. And Professor Thonton is in charge of it.”
“I’ll figure it out. If you don’t want to get in trouble, you leave first. Ah, and thanks for your concern.”
Then, the boy’s eyebrows twitched and he spoke in a cold voice.
“Concern? Don’t make laugh. Who’s worried? Whether you get in trouble or not isn’t my business. I just said that because you might stain the Earnst family na if you’re late. There’s still 5 minutes left, figure out if you’re still gonna co or not.”
He made an angry face and spun around to leave the storage room.
W, What was that just now. Was he a tsudere? Even though his tone was icy, it seed like he said it because he was worried. And he even told her that there was 5 minutes left.
Actually, weren’t the two of them kinda similar? Their eyes were different, but they were both silver-haired. And they had a strange aura about them that was similar.
