Axxel followed Eren towards his Office, only for Eren to realize that he had forgotten the way back since he took a portal to reach the class.
On the way back, the portal was not in the same place from where he had stepped out. As for finding the real way back, he wasn't sure.
"Why are you going in that direction? Isn't your office in an entirely different direction?" After a while, even Axxel noticed that Eren was going in the wrong direction, calling him out.
"You think I don't know where my office is? It's just that the thing isn't in my office. I already have it, but I don't want to bring it out in the open. So I'm looking for a nearby place where we can be alone." Eren came up with an excuse.
"Hmm? Just that? You could've just told me. My office is nearby. No one will disturb us there," Axxel said while taking the lead.
"Absolutely perfect."
Eren also slowed down, walking behind Axxel as he didn't even know where Axxel's office was.
Soon, Axxel stopped in front of an office. On the door, Axxel's name was clearly written. He used his fingerprint to open the door and called Eren inside.
Once Eren entered, he closed the door behind him, making sure no one saw them entering this office together.
Axxel walked to the table and sat on it, facing Eren. "Now show me. What is the important treasure that you want to show the Dean?"
"Before I show it, you must promise that you won't tell anyone about it! If people with bad intentions found out about this, it could really bring a disaster to our continent." Eren was extremely grim while walking closer to Axxel, especially since the man was known for his speed.
The slightest mistake and he might escape.
"Something that could bring disaster to the continent? You mean it's a treasure that can even lure the other Continental Overlords?" Axxel also understood the meaning behind Eren's words.
"Sorry for the disturbance. These subordinates are truly fools. They can't do anything without me," Axxel closed the door right as Yelen left the room, not even feeling her present.
"Don't worry. I am sure you are also having a hard time after being assigned to guide these easterners."
"Hahaha, that's right. Of course you understand me. So, what was the treasure?"
"Right here." Eren brought out a small black box. He reached out his hand while walking towards Axxel as if to hand it over.
Only after taking a few steps, he stumbled and lost his balance, falling in the direction of Axxel. The small box fell on the ground right near Axxel's feet.
"Be more careful with something so precious." Axxel bent forward to pick up the box. Even though he didn't know what was in it, he had already started considering it extremely precious.
While Axxel had bent forward to pick the small box, a gun appeared in Eren's hands which he pointed at Axxel, supplying a small amount of his mana, forcefully cutting it off before a stronger bullet could be produced.
Unlike last time, he didn't want the bullet to pass through multiple walls, leaving behind traces.
"You are right. I will be more careful this time," Eren said while pulling the trigger.
....
"You came to ask me about his whereabouts? How fascinating. Isn't he already in your home?"
In an unknown place, Mist was sitting in front of a dark hooded woman whose eyes were completely blank as if she was unable to see. Still, she could see more than the others.
"In my home?" Mist frowned.
