"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Vanitas. I shall hold you to that, perhaps for another matter, but for this one, I assure you that we do not require financial aid. In fact, I called you here for a different reason entirely. You see, the government has been adamant about finding the killer, so they have dispatched a small group of superhumans who will be responsible for the investigation.
The superhumans you see outside were only hired part-time and they will only be responsible for patrolling the school at random times of the day to reassure both parents and students, but the superhumans dispatched for the investigation will blend into the student and administration body and try to find the killer in that way."
Mark was visibly stunned that the government was willing to go that far. A small feeling of anxiety grew inside Mark as he realized that they were really going all out on this matter. Mark thought that the government would throw this under the carpet just like many other issues that have happened with superhumans before.
Most times, the government would try not to make a superhuman case a big deal so that it wouldn't affect people's trust in superhumans. If people see superhumans committing crimes like this and the government makes it into a big deal, then people will be more likely to fear and scorn every superhuman. But it was obvious that the government wasn't letting this one go.
Is it because I am in this school?
Mark asked the principal why he was telling him all this, and the principal smiled.
"Actually, one of the superhumans asked to meet with you. The leader of the group that will be staying with us for some time arrived early and wanted to have a word with you. The superhumans dispatched by the government are all brilliant, and I'm sure you'll be surprised once you meet her!"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Oh, that should be her! Please come in!"
The door to the office opened and Mark turned around to see a goddess standing at the door. Mark blinked and narrowed his eyes at the last person he expected to see here.
"Luna?"
The principal was smiling from ear to ear when next he spoke. Mark couldn't really tell, but there was an obvious increase in the principal's enthusiasm once he saw Luna standing at the door. Even someone as level-headed as the principal wasn't impervious to her beauty.
"Yes, I was sure you would know each other! Madam Luna here volunteered out of the goodness of her heart to help out the government team with any issues that they might face during their investigation. She is not a permanent member of the staff, but she has been added to the administrative list and she will be coming to aid the school whenever she is free!
Once he was gone, the tension in the air almost seemed to evaporate into nothing as Luna stepped closer to Mark. Mark stood from his seat and looked down at her, and she smiled up at him.
Mark couldn't believe it. He knew that there was something wrong the moment he saw Luna. He knew that it shouldn't be possible because Ares said it was not possible, but it was staring Mark right in the face. Luna remembers.
"What the hell is going on here? How do you remember? What did you do?"
Luna almost burst out laughing as she saw the glare on Mark's face increase in intensity. The both of them were standing very close to each other and Luna had to crane her neck up to get a good look at Mark's face. She grinned as Mark's eyes narrowed.
"Come on, Mark. Is this how you want to greet your master after all this time? I feel like I haven't seen you in years."
Luna expected Mark to at least chuckle at her joke, but her smile slowly reduced as she saw that Mark was not smiling.
"I said; what did you do?"
Luna dropped her purse on the table beside her and sighed as she stepped even closer to Mark, almost pushing her breasts into his body.
"You know exactly what I did."
Mark grabbed Luna by her shoulders and Luna felt a jolt of electricity travel through her entire body as Mark brought his face down to her own. He glared at her with a look of pure rage as a small blush spread across Luna's cheeks.
"You wasted a wish from the gods on this fucking bullshit!?"
Luna's face twisted in surprise for a moment, but it wasn't long before she glared at Mark. She leaned closer and seethed right back at him.
"I think I have a right to decide what's important to me or not! You might think it is bullshit, but to me, it was everything! I was never going to let you go!"
