My head lifted up. My mouth was wide, gasping for air. Sweat dripped from my forehead as I swiveled my head around.

"S-Seal? Are you alright?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah… I guess," I muttered.

If these were the classes that were the weaker ones, then…

I nearly drooled from thinking over what I could obtain by being patient just this once and obtaining the same materials yet again.

But if I had to be honest, the Aether Magician looked too good not to pick, as I doubt I would ever be swimming deep in the ocean.

The first class is essentially useless to me except for the increase in my assassination capabilities, which honestly could set me apart… but for now, my only goal is to be better and better with magic.

"C-Cyrus? D-Doctor?" Petra stuttered, and as she reached towards her phone, I quickly caught her little hand, surprising her as I had lept immediately towards her.

I guess I'll wait for now as I doubt Elora will give me those materials again.

"Did the same elf from before come by again?" I asked, but just as those words slipped from my mouth, a girl came busting in through our front door.

"If you're not satisfied with your outcome, then so be it. That's your fault, and I'm not giving you new materials,"

"I never asked for more," I sighed before sitting up on the edge of my bed and looking over at my two siblings, who were entranced by the elf's glowing gold aura.

Clearly, she was emitting this to try and capture the awe of my siblings, which boosted her ego, but I could give less of a shit as she only came here to conclude the deal.

"Who is it? Who are they?"

"It's the assassins who formed the Daggers. So, you can already assume that-"

"The other administrators are aware of it… what the hell? How do they know? And why did they tell you of all people?"

"They didn't. I just overheard it one time,"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That was a lie because this wasn't part of the deal, and Elora clearly had a feeling I wasn't telling the entire truth to her.

"Whatever. At least you fulfilled your end of the deal, I'm out of here-"

"No, you're not going anywhere," A shadowy figure suddenly erupted from the shadows in the corner of my room, their pitch-black eyes and short black hair blending in with the darkness behind them.

They looked almost like a hollow white figure with just their face standing out.

"What do you want?" Both of us angrily turned to look at him, but his smile was the only thing we could see.

"I overheard what you two were talking about. I would be glad to join in and have a little conversation with the next saint,"

"Don't call me that," Elora nearly hissed, and as the man proceeded to walk forward, Asger stood up, blocking the way.

"D-Don't touch S-Seal," He stuttered, his legs shaking, his arms quivering, but he still managed to keep his head up.

"I'm not going to hurt them. I just want to explain everything now that the cat is out of the bag… it's not like I can kill the next elven saintess," The man lightly chuckled, scooting me over on my bed and sitting down on it.

Petra and Asger just stood there next to the door, waiting for the right chance to escape and leave.

"Allow me to explain myself,"

"Go ahead, and if I don't like your answer, I'll turn this entire fucking academy on its head," Elora replied, her eyes glowing with a dim gold.

"Woah, don't say that. I know what you're position is right now, so much empty threats won't do anything against me,"

"Tch… fine, speak,"

"Then, I'll proceed. First of all, we learned all of this coincidentally as we were on a mission and overheard somebody saying how the elven saintess had disappeared. The appearance they described was almost a complete fit for yours… and after a bit of digging, we almost had full confirmation. So, we then used Cyrus to get familiar with you, and lo and behold… now you verbally confirmed it,"

The elven girl looked cornered but took in a deep breath to hopefully calm her down and carefully analyze the situation.

"Am I allowed to ask who knows this information? I do not need the temple coming and finding me,"

"Don't worry. We'll offer protection from the temple as long as you tell us where the sword is. And guess what, we'll even give the sword to you. We just want to know of it's location,"

I had no idea that this was part of the plan, but I thought that if I spoke up, I might just be shooting myself in the foot.

"And for what do you need the location? Is there something else there that I'm not aware of?"
