Chapter 2047 Interrogated

While all the instructors were engaged in their meeting, the atmosphere in the hall where the 66 acolytes were waiting was tense with anticipation.

Shinta found herself at odds with Annara, her aunt, who was scolding her for not consuming the full serum as instructed. Regret flooded Shinta's thoughts as she realized the impulsive nature of her actions. "I am sorry, Auntie... but don't worry, it works for the best," she muttered, hoping to placate Annara's anger.

Before she could further explain herself, a sudden interruption shattered the moment. A staff member, accompanied by several guards, approached Shinta with an air of authority.

"Shinta Ouroboros, please come with us."

Confusion mingled in her voice as she questioned, "Wait, what is this about?"

Despite her resistance, Shinta found herself unable to resist the firm grasp of the guards. They escorted her to a secluded room, devoid of any semblance of comfort or familiarity.

"Excuse me! Why are you doing this! I demand an explanation!" Yet, the staff and guard just left. The silence that followed only heightened her anxiety, leaving her to wonder what ominous fate awaited her in this mysterious room.

Shinta's initial instinct was to reach out to her aunt, but she realized the tiny creature was already gone from her ear. Her last words were to remain calm and discern the intentions of those who had apprehended her.

Moments later, a rough-looking magus barged into the room. "Please sit down," he commanded with a tone that brooked no argument. Despite the veneer of politeness, the unmistakable presence of a full moon magus, emanated from him, compelling Shinta to sit.

"Who are you? Why are you holding me here?!" Shinta demanded, her voice trembling with defiance.

The man calmly introduced himself. "I am Heorgar, Zodiac outpost head of security. You are here to be questioned in the matter of tampering with the exam."

Her silence seemed to agitate Heorgar further, his emotions finally breaking through his stoic facade. "Tell me what you did to the girl?! And tell me who sent you! Or I will report you as a spy trying to infiltrate the academy," he threatened, his voice tinged with a mix of anger and desperation.

Caught between a web of lies and the threat of dire consequences, Shinta found herself at a crossroads, her fate hanging precariously in the balance.

Amidst the heated interrogation, a sudden interruption shattered the tense atmosphere as a employee member came into the room. "Chief, the overseer was asking for the girl, her presence was needed.".

Heorgar's brow furrowed slightly at the unexpected news. Puzzled by the sudden turn of events and unsure of the overseer's intentions, Heorgar reluctantly acquiesced. Instead of restraint, he assigned two guards to closely monitor Shinta's every move. "You better not try to run," he warned sternly, as they departed.

As Shinta followed the man, her mind raced with questions about why she was called upon "Is it because of 'him'? Did he recognize me?" She pondered, her heart pounding with unease.

She was escorted into a medium-sized hall. The room seemed to exude an air of importance, with its spacious layout and meticulously arranged furnishings.

To her surprise, Shinta found herself in the company of eight other acolytes upon entering the room. Their presence puzzled her; they were all wolf acolytes. Each of them wore expressions that mirrored her own mix of anticipation and apprehension, their eyes flickering with curiosity and uncertainty. "Why are they here?" she wondered.

A similar question flitted through Heorgar's mind as he observed the gathering of wolves acolytes. However, while everyone was waiting for the overseer and the other instructors arrivals, Heorgar was interrupted by a message from one of the employee members. "Chief, we apprehended someone suspicious, a female magus, and she wants to speak with you," the staff member relayed, adding, "She said it's regarding the Ouroboros girl."

As this data might provide clues or even pose a threat to what's going to happen between the overseer and the girl, Heorgar quickly made his way to meet with the mysterious female magus.

Clad in dark attire with her face partially concealed, she greeted him with familiarity as she removed her cover. "Senior Heorgar, it's been a while."Heorgar's expression shifted, a mix of astonishment and recognition crossing his features.

"It's you!"
