Nyhill began to spend most of her time in the infirmary starting from the beginning of the semester.

It was because of the observation and protection of the children that the Hero had requested.

Although she had always faithfully carried out her duties she couldnt focus on her own tasks for the past few days.

It was because of the special mission Mother Ghost had given her recently.

Starting from now, Number 3 will monitor the Heros every move and report to me separately.

After examining the Heros actions and the traces of battles he had fought as he ascended, Mother Ghost issued such an order.

Unexpectedly, Nyhill questioned her.

What?

Among Mother Ghosts face, the wrinkles on the parts not covered by the mask were deeply creased.

Monitor what he eats, wears, when he sleeps, who he meets, what he thinks, and report it in much more detail and thoroughly than now.

Nyhill doubted her ears.

The level of surveillance Mother Ghost mentioned was only applicable to those classified as high-risk black in the Shadows.

These are evil people suspected of being the underworlds kingpins, murderers, and collaborators.

The Hero? Why.

Before she could finish her sentence, a fierce aura was transmitted.

Mother Ghosts gaze became endlessly cold.

Nyhill quickly lowered her head.

Why indeed. Its been a while since Number 3 asked such a question.

Im sorry.

In fact, this wasnt the first time Nyhill had asked Mother Ghost why.

It was a long time ago when she was still unfamiliar with the ways of the Shadows.

There had been several occasions when she had asked such questions.

After paying a heavy price, she had completely forgotten how to question.

No, she thought she had forgotten.

Nyhill herself didnt know why she was like this.

Mother Ghost was quietly angry.

It seems the warning I gave you last time didnt resonate well with you, Number 3.

Im sorry.

When I set a goal, Number 3 should follow it accordingly. Isnt that what tools do?

But.

However, once the question arose, it didnt easily dissipate.

Why did Mother Ghost want to monitor the Hero?

Was it an order from above?

Or was it a unilateral decision?

If so, for what reason?

What is Mother Ghost suspicious of?

For the past semester, Nyhill had never left the Heros side.

She had always kept an eye on him, both physically and figuratively.

She was sure of it.

The Hero was someone who devoted all his time and strength to others.

He was never someone who would harm others. This is an unfair order.

The first moment she made such a judgment.

Nyhill felt a strong dissatisfaction and immediately concealed it.

However, she couldnt deceive Mother Ghosts eyes.

The white hand swiftly grabbed Nyhills neck without hesitation.

How dare you.

The rigorously refined murderous intent enveloped Nyhill.

Keukk.

When Mother Ghosts hand loosened, Nyhills face turned blue before it turned red.

Mother Ghost looked down at Nyhill sprawled on the floor as if she were worthless trash, then muttered softly.

Youre making me regret it.

Nyhill knew too.

If it werent for her unique ability, her origin, then Mother Ghost would have discarded her as a defective product.

Nyhill naturally thought of the agents who had been out of Mother Ghosts sight.

Most of them were dead.

They either got involved in operations with a success probability approaching zero or failed to receive a companion within the deadline, or in any case, they all died like that.

Of course, even if Mother Ghost didnt immediately rain such punishment on her, if she continued to perform poorly, she might attach some pretext to exclude herself from this mission.

I hate it.

Leaving the Heros side, she hated it.

Nyhill felt an intense emotion, so she decided to suppress it once again.

Ill do as ordered.

You probably have approximate surveillance records for the past half year. First, hand them all over.

Yes. Ill return and organize them to deliver.

But Mother Ghosts displeased gaze didnt disappear.

Let me say it again. Setting Number 3s goals is my job, not yours or the Heros. Remember that.

After the threat wrapped in polite words.

Mother Ghost left her behind.

And those short five minutes.

From the way back to Rosenstark until now, Nyhills mind had been constantly circling.

Goal.

Im sorry.

She didnt want to lie to the Hero.

But she couldnt leak the mission either.

All Nyhill could choose was silence and the Hero could read her dilemma right away.

Mother Ghost, isnt it?

Flinch-

That was the answer.

Ah, um.

Nyhill was unusually flustered, and then she struggled to speak.

This time it was something the Hero hadnt expected.

Uh, can I use my wish now?

The Hero hesitated for a moment.

A wish.

It was the wish Nyhill had earned by winning first place in her team during dungeon raid training.

The only wish among the children that Nyhill hadnt used.

Do you mind if I dont answer that question?

It was a refusal.

Not a lie.

Nothing more than a pitiful plea.

The Hero let out a deep sigh.

He had no intention of pressing further and making this awkward child even more uncomfortable.

That wish wasnt meant for situations like this.

What?

I wont ask again, so keep your wish.

Nyhills lips pressed tightly together at those words.

If you really want something, you can use it when the time comes.

Thank you.

Alright then, lets call it a day and go rest.

Nyhill bowed her head continuously as she retreated.

As Pia entered the lab, taking Nyhills place, who had left, there was a space left for their private conversation.

That was something.

Pia shrugged her shoulders as she met eyes with the Hero.

Nyhill causing trouble.

Indeed, quite something.

Want me to find out what happened?

The Hero shook her head.

Its alright. I already have a good idea.

What?

Pia was surprised at first, then muttered softly.

You seem to know everything if you look closely.

The Hero slowly nodded.

In recent times, he had left too many traces trying to handle various incidents.

If someone had been watching him closely, it would be natural for them to notice something strange.

He just gained confirmation from Nyhills reaction.

Mother Ghost is starting to doubt me.

The solution to that problem would need to be discussed with Euphemia, not Pia.

Or maybe he should resolve it before she comes back.

Its not urgent. Even if she pays attention to me right away, there wont be anything she can find.

With those thoughts in mind, the Hero changed the subject.

Pia, while its good to pay attention to the students Im more concerned about your work.

Pia laughed dishearteningly at that remark.

Do you really worry about that?

Of course. Its a given.

But you are introducing this curriculum starting from the new semester?!

Pia fluttered her hands, showing the curriculum plan.

The Hero chuckled.

You and the kids have had plenty of fun until now.

Well, I havent had much fun.

During the vacation, he had gone through a lot.

In the process, he realized one thing.

Preparing for the upcoming calamity wasnt just a human affair.

The demons were also tirelessly working for the downfall of humanity.

Now that the Demonic Church is gone, theyll come up with another trick.

The most surefire way to confront such unknown threats was strength.

Overwhelming strength.

Its time to fulfill my duty.

Teaching and nurturing the children.

It was time to return to being a professor.

And the new semester lectures would be conducted in a manner unprecedented in the history of the Rosenstark Academy.

Outside the school walls.
