Oliver clicked his tongue and said,

"Damn, all I saw was a blur. Was that even a person? It was so fast."

Theo nodded.

"Please understand, they don't want to be seen."

The others looked at each other with stunned faces.

"With that speed, could they beat a contractor of a high-tier demon? Theo, you would join them, right?"

"I don't know. I've only ever seen a low-tier demon once."

"It was as if someone was there with the leaves fluttering... Did you see it?"

"No. Honestly, I only realized someone might have been there after you mentioned it."

That was expected, as among those gathered, only Fyat and Maximin had better eyesight than Oliver.

Theo tapped his chest with his fist and said,

"I vouch for the person who just disappeared. They are an expert with experience in Demon hunting."

After asking the leaders of each group to explain things in detail to their members, Theo left.

He had someone urgent to meet.Reêad latest novels at noov/e/l/bin(.)com

After about 10 minutes of walking, Theo returned to a nearby mansion.

It was a mansion arranged by Taylor, big enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Creak─ Theo entered a room on the top floor of the mansion.

There was a visitor inside.

A man with a robust physique, wearing clothes made of comfortable fabric.

He stood in front of an open window, his face mostly covered with a mask and hood, leaving only his eyes visible.

Theo bowed slightly towards the man.

"Thank you for coming all this way, Leader."

The man was the leader of the assassin group [Equilibrium], Jang Geon.

He was one of the strongest humans on the continent, a contact Theo had managed to make through Taylor's help. He was also Jang Woohee's father.

Jang Geon nodded briefly but precisely to Theo, still wearing his mask, and said,

"I listened to your speech, kid. Not bad for your age."

"Thank you for the compliment, Leader. Will you be staying in this room?"

"No. I don't need a room. When facing a great enemy, one must first be wary of allies. I'll take care of my meals and sleeping arrangements outside."

Jang Geon was a born assassin.

Armed with various secret techniques, he was extremely cautious about any information about himself leaking out.

Theo responded,

"Understood. How should I contact you if there's an emergency?"

Jang Geon shook his head.

"I've arranged surveillance around, so there's no need to contact me. I'll join in when the time is right if anything happens."

After saying that, Jang Geon got ready to jump out of the open window.

Theo bowed again towards Jang Geon's back.

"Understood, Leader. Thank you once again for making the effort to come here."

Jang Geon turned his head slightly and said,

"No need for further thanks. I'll be going now."

With those words, Jang Geon disappeared.

Then, Nay spoke up,

Theo took off his sweat-soaked clothes.

'I should take a bath soon since the others will be arriving.'

Theo headed to the bathroom attached to the room.

Under Aisha's leadership, the academy students arrived at the mansion.

The mansion had four floors.

Theo allotted the 3rd and 4th floors to the students to stay.

The reason was simple.

Even with Neike and Piel around, the students were the weakest group among those gathered.

If enemies were to invade the 1st floor, it made more sense to place academy staff and outsiders on the 1st and 2nd floors for efficiency.

In the spacious lobby on the 1st floor, Theo told the students,

"Those I call out will use the 4th floor; those not called will use the 3rd floor. Decide among yourselves on the room allocation."

Theo called out some names, including Neike, Piel, Aisha, Jang Woohee, Eshild, Siena, Irene, Seria, Alice, Alphs, Noctar and his orcs, Lizardman Shagarod and his lizardmen, etc.

"Those whose names were called, go to the 4th floor. Those not called, the 3rd floor."

The students moved en masse.

When only Theo and Ao were left in the lobby,

"I'm back."

Isabella and Claire entered the mansion. Their voices sounded drained.

"Why do you seem so tired, senior?"

"What else? We were bothered by people introducing themselves as this and that."

"You've had a hard time, senior. We'll eat once everyone gathers, so please rest in your room until then. It's on the top floor."

"Alright, got it."

Isabella quickly went up the stairs, wary of being seen by others.

'I absolutely can't be found out.'

She shares a room with Theo.

And no one else knows this fact.

They believe she is staying in the room next to Theo's with Claire.

Given the mansion is filled with young and passionate individuals, Isabella was terrified of being discovered sharing a room with Theo.

However, Isabella's hurried steps came to an abrupt stop.

"Oh, the fifth prettiest sister."

It was because of what Ao blurted out.

Isabella's neck whipped around to face Ao.

"Are you talking about me right now?"

Ao responded without hesitation.

"Yes, the fifth prettiest sister. You're fifth because you don't use a sword. Among those who don't use a sword, you're top-ranked."

Though it was a naive statement filled with a young robot's sword superiority belief, Isabella couldn't just let it slide.

Though she didn't show it outwardly, Isabella had a lot of pride in her appearance.

Click, clack.

Isabella approached Ao and asked,

"I'm curious to know who the four before me are."
