After parting with Sonya, the principal, Claire, and Siena.

Theo headed to the student cafeteria for lunch.

Hmm.

The cafeteria was quiet, as if all the other students had gone out to eat.

After quickly finishing his lunch, Theo immediately headed to the training grounds.

As expected, the training grounds were also quiet.

While this might have made an ordinary person complacent, Theo was different.

Maybe I should practice against a magic doll for a change.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

He was rather pleased at the thought of leisurely training alone.

His first fight against Oliver, one of the continent's strongest, had been a motivation for him.

As Theo was changing into his training clothes in the locker room.

Hmm.

His gaze fixed on the collar of his uniform.

A thread on the lower part of the collar was slightly frayed.

For an ordinary person, this would have been a trivial damage, but not for Theo.

To think I've been wearing this.

[Twisted Noble's Dignity] zapped Theo.

He was someone obsessed with appearances above all else.

Theo frowned as he carefully examined the damaged part of his uniform.

......

But it was a damage that couldnt be fixed with the magic stored in the [Magic Cartridge].

I should ask Amy to bring me a new set.

Theo immediately took out his communication crystal and contacted Amy to bring a new academy uniform.

Yes...... I understand, young master. I will depart immediately.

Though her voice coming through the crystal seemed somewhat different than usual.

Theo didn't dwell on it and promptly began his training.

While Theo was facing a magic doll modeled after Oliver.

Brrr, brrr

The communication crystal in the corner vibrated.

It was a call from Amy.

Screech

As he approached the training grounds main gate, there was Amy, holding Little Fist.

Amy handed over a suitcase to Theo.

......Here is the freshly laundered and intact academy uniform you requested, young master.

Good, thank you.

As Theo received the suitcase, he observed Amy's expression without making it obvious.

To an outsider, she might seem her usual self, but Theo saw it differently.

Ever since acquiring the [Observer's Eye] trait, he had been accumulating data on Amy's expressions.

She usually has a stoic face, but even then, she expresses a variety of emotions like joy, sadness, despair.

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

Somethings definitely up.

He didn't know why, but Amy was currently in a state of anxiety and sadness.

What could it be?

......It doesn't seem like anything's wrong with Little Fist.

As Theo remained silent for a while, Amy spoke up.

......Young master, is there anything else you wish to say?

No, there isn't.

......Alright, I will take my leave then.

About an hour passed.

Brrr, brrr

The communication crystal she received from Claire vibrated.

......Could it be him?

As Isabella pressed the receive button on the communication crystal, a voice immediately came through.

Good day, Isabella.

It was indeed him.

Isabella spoke.

Yes, hello.

I have something to discuss with you. Could you tell me a suitable time to meet today?

Avoiding the issue wouldn't solve anything.

From experience, dealing with such matters quickly tended to appease the other party.

I'm free anytime. Come whenever it's convenient for you.

Then, how about in 30 minutes at the student council room?

That's fine.

Ill see you then.

Alright.

With that, the call ended.

......Haah.

Isabella placed the communication crystal back on the desk and pressed her temples.

Scary guy.

His level of diplomacy was exceptional for a mere first-year student.

It's as if he knew her, who had been rolling in the cutthroat world of the clergy for years.

Not only are his thoughts impenetrable, but it's also impossible to predict his actions.

The thought of meeting him again made her restless.

No, wait, change your perspective......

There could be others besides him whose minds she can't read.

She can't be trembling in fear every time that happens.

Phewww, phewww.

Isabella took a deep breath and pulled out a knitting set from her desk drawer.

She had started knitting to find peace of mind after yesterday's meeting with Theo.

She chose silver yarn, a reminder not to forget the man who had so greatly unsettled her.

Ouch!

While knitting, Isabella pricked her finger on the needle.

Ouch, damn it......

After a brief grumble, she continued with her knitting.

Inside the principal's office.

Oh ho ho......

Sonya's eyes sparkled as she looked around.

The principal's office was filled with ancient documents and books that were extremely difficult to find or thought to be lost in modern times.

Um... principal. Can I read this book, and that one, oh, and this one too?

Do whatever you want. Just don't bother me! I'm busy!

Luna, who responded casually, looked up at Siena standing next to her.

Hey, pointy ears! So, where's Art right now?

I don't know, shorty. It's been so long, I don't quite remember. Ah~ but maybe if you introduce me to other spirit friends, it might jog my memory~?

Siena looked triumphantly down at Luna and laughed.
