"Hello, I'm Gary." Azzy introduced himself with a fake identity he was given.
"Aaron," replied the blindfolded man with a smile on his face before adding, "I must say your mastery over soul energy is quite high. If we met on the streets, I would mistake you for a civilian."
"Me too," Azzy nodded while keeping up a fake smile on his face. He added, "If we meet on the streets, I would have probably assumed that you are blind at one glance."
Aaron got alerted at once and tried to feign ignorance for some reason, "What are you saying?"
The woman then came forward to support the vice principal of the academy, "He is really blind, Mr. Gary."
"Is that so?" Azzy looked at the blindfolded guy while wondering what his deal is. From three years of experience doing missions all over the world, Azzy did develop a certain level of intuition, which saying him that Aaron is fishy.
But then again, as he cannot jeopardize his mission over something unrelated, Azzy acted as if he was mistaken. He apologized to the blindfolded guy, "I'm sorry."
"No, it's alright…"
After a while, the principal's personal assistant left and Azzy entered his room, which is next to Aaron's.
Sitting down on the bed, he started meditating as there isn't much to do.
Meanwhile, in the next room, Aaron was wondering about Azzy's identity. And he doesn't seem thrilled by their meeting either.
"That young man; something is off about him. I can feel it." Aaron mumbled as he was making pancakes. "Not to mention, it has only been three days since we took out Alder away from our path. Appointing a replacement can be done but an expert who can mask his soul energy even from an 8-star-realm Arcana Master like me? Something is not right here. Hmm, I think it is best to test his strength before we make our move."
A creepy laugh escaped from Aaron as he flipped the pancakes. "That busty girl is the perfect one for this job."
A few hours later, at the girl's dormitory;
In one of the rooms located on the third floor, a teenage couple was having a passionate s*x in the morning. They have been at it for the past 40 minutes and still weren't done.
Continuing to moan, the girl spoke as she glanced at the wall clock, "hurry up, Bill. It's almost 10:30. I need to go for a shower."
"Alright… alright…" The boy taking heavy breaths forced himself to finish it and a couple of minutes later, both of them dressed up.
Giving the girl one last kiss, the boy decided to escape through the window but it appeared that the girl has something to talk to him about. She grabbed his hand when he turned around to walk away.
"What is it?" he asked.
As the girl became silent and seemed to be hesitating, the boy said after a few seconds, "you are the one who wanted to finish me early so that you have time for the shower. Now, you are the one who was wasting time, Laura."
The girl replied, "I want to make our relationship public."
"Eh?" The boy was taken aback. He stepped back in surprise and said, "You do know who I am engaged to, right? Serestia's mom will kill us if we come out like this."
"Then, when will you break off that engagement." The girl became frustrated by his words. Looking straight into his eyes, she added, "You have been saying the same thing for the past two years. And now, our relationship has already progressed to the next level and yet, you are doing nothing."
The boy's expression softened and he gently grabbed his lover's face, "look, Laura. We cannot break off the engagement from our end. It needs to be done on Serestia's part. There are still two months left till our graduation. I've been working on my end. If I can't make her break off the engagement by the time of graduation, we'll run away together, okay?"
"Really? You promise?" As a hopeful look appeared on the girl, the boy nodded with a smile, "I promise."
They hugged one more time before the boy left the girl's dormitory and started returning to his room.
As he was in a hurry, he was moving too fast that he momentarily lost control over his feet. The boy collided with someone as he made a sharp turn around a corner and flew back a few meters before falling into the bushes.
"Ouch"
Bill rubbed his chest as he slowly put out his head. He saw a stranger who appeared to be around his age standing there in silence and looking at him.
Azzy instantly recognized the boy as he is on the list. Hence, he forgave the teenager as it was just an accident and asked whether he is hurt or anything by the collision, "You alright there?"
"Yeah," The boy slowly came out of the bushes. "Who are you?" he asked while taking out a healing card and applying it on himself to ease off the pain in his ribs.
Azzy replied, "You will know that soon but why were you coming from this direction?" He asked while pointing his finger in a certain direction where only the girls' dormitory, arena, building for student council and clubs, and greenhouse are located.
According to what Azzy gathered so far, Bill wasn't in student council; clubs were open only after 3 p.m.; the arena is used only for official fights; the greenhouse is restricted to the students;
Since the academy didn't forbid any relationships, Azzy highly suspected that Bill probably went to see a girl. Atleast, that's what his intuition tells him.
Meanwhile, the boy panicked at the question. He attempted to dodge it by speaking in a serious tone, thinking that Azzy is probably a visitor or someone's relative, "Look, bro. It's not your business where I am coming from. I'm getting late for the class. I need to get back quickly. If you were hurt earlier, then, I'm sorry. If you excuse me…"
He quickly disappeared from Azzy's view, making the latter shake his head with a smile, "Immaturity. Anyway, let's go and…"
After a while, Azzy reached the girls' dormitory. He didn't go inside and just informed the security guard to inform the warden that Serestia Leveret was summoned to the principal's office.
Once he was done, Azzy went to the administration building and wait there at the principal's office for 20 minutes before a double knock was heard on the door, followed by the entry of the girl he was waiting for.
Little did he expect to sense a strange yet familiar power within his niece as soon as his gaze fell upon her. His eyes widened in surprise just like Serestia's, although for a different reason.
"Uncle Azrael, it's you?" Serestia almost screamed in surprise before the principal hurriedly cast a barrier. Unluckily for them, Maria, the personal assistant was nearby and heard it by coincidence.
While Maria was wondering who this Azrael is, Azzy, the person in question, wiped off the shock from his face and replaced it with a smile, greeting his niece-like figure, "Hello, Serestia. It's been a while."
