Upon entering Theo's room, Amy closed her eyes for a moment and firmly pressed her lips together before finally speaking in a calm voice.

"I will tell you everything, young master."

She began recounting her story from a few years back.

Her entry into the Waldeurk family was under the guise of a spy, instructed by her organization to monitor the Waldeurk main house.

She had been deceiving everyone about her background and purpose, and up until recently, she had continued to relay information about Theo to her organization.

The reason she had asked about his schedule on Friday was because a high-ranking member of Equilibrium wanted to meet Theo.

She disclosed everything to Theo, except for the part about Selena being held hostage by the organization.

She omitted this detail not wanting to appear as if she was playing on his emotions.

"That's all there is, young master."

After finishing her explanation, Amy slowly bowed her head.

In the corner of her eye, she could see Theo's knee as he sat in the chair.

He hadn't moved at all.

He remained just as he was at the beginning.

Amy's anxiety grew with Theo's strange demeanor.

Her lips became dry.

After a moment, Theo spoke abruptly.

"I see."

"..."

"I will meet with the executive of Equilibrium this Friday."

"?"

Amy looked up at Theo, puzzled.

He simply nodded his head, an unexpected reaction, not showing any signs of anger or disregard she had imagined in her head.

Silence filled the room.

Amy licked her dry lips.

"How can you be like this?"

She continued, looking straight at Theo, who was calmly gazing back at her.

"I have been deceiving you all this time. Our relationship started with a lie. How can you be like this?"

With those words, Amy bowed her head again.

This time, it wasn't due to anxiety.

She felt so emotionally drained that she was on the verge of tears.

Theo then spoke.

"I believe that in the face of the present, the past loses its color."

He placed his hands on Amy's shoulders.

Startled, Amy lifted her head.

Theo met her eyes and continued.

"Didn't I tell you? Amy, you are my secretary."

Amy remained silent.

"Stay by my side. From now on, too."

"Ah, I can't take this anymore..."

And so, the hellish morning training session came to an end, and it was finally lunchtime.

The lunch menu consisted of boxed meals, all standardized.

"..."

No student spoke; they were all too exhausted.

Most students, who would usually finish their boxed meal in 5 minutes, took over 20 minutes to eat, picking at their food wearily.

Some students, instead of eating, just stared blankly into space, lost in thought.

Seria was among them.

"..."

"Seria, you should eat something other than air. You need to eat quickly, or you'll get side stitches when we run again."

Irene said this while gobbling down her own lunch.

Seria looked at Irene with a weary expression.

'She's like a monster...'

Irene had not only maintained the lead from the start but had also carried the exhausted Seria without slowing down.

Her overwhelming stamina seemed almost magical...

Seria gripped her fork, her hand trembling.

"Right. I need to eat..."

Then another 'monster' approached them.

This monster, too, had carried a fallen teammate without any change in speed, despite being smaller in stature than Irene.

This monster began speaking to Theo, who was quietly eating his meal.

"Hey, when are you coming to visit our family? My father asked me to invite you."

The monster was Piel.

After slowly chewing and swallowing a meatball, Theo replied.

"How about this weekend?"

"Ah, really? Okay. I'll check and give you a call."

Piel returned to her team, a smile she couldn't hide playing on her lips.

"?"

Irene and Seria narrowed their eyes at Theo.

Irene was the first to speak.

"Theo. What do you mean you're going to visit Piel's family?"

"I met Lord Maximin at the academic seminar. Want to come along?"

Irene and Seria's eyes widened.

"Of course, of course!"

"Heh, seems like today's not all about hardships. I've always wanted to visit the renowned Chalon family."

Alice and Alphs, who were quietly eating while listening in, nodded in agreement.

The day's training finally came to an end.

Due to the extended training caused by stragglers, it was past 6 PM when it finished.

'I won't be late.'

After showering, Theo left the arena.

...It was time to meet the executive of Equilibrium.
