Eh?
Wh-What do you mean?
Keti blinked on the spot, her face completely blank. This, this, this…
What was the Lord Executive saying to her? Why couldn’t she understand a word of it? She…
Had seen another Executive? Uh…
No, she didn’t have any impression of that at all, did she?
Could it be…
That guy Richard was planning to become an Executive? *Hiss*—
Would she ever have a good day again? How terrifying.
Cough, cough. No, that’s not right. Director Richard was only a director for the lower grades.
He couldn’t even be considered among the top-tier figures at the Magic Academy. Jumping all the way up like that was a bit too ridiculous.
But…She really hadn’t met any other Executives.
Even if she had, she definitely wouldn’t have known their identity.
“I have no memory of that. I… I don’t really know who all the Executives are. Ah, to be specific, I’m sorry, Lady Celthina, I don’t know a single one of them.”
“So, even if I might have met one before, I probably wouldn’t recognize them, right?”
After a long silence, Keti could only scratch her head awkwardly and explain herself like that. Thinking about it was actually quite scary.
If she couldn’t recognize them, but she had actually met them, how did Celthina know?
Could it be… the other party had been monitoring her this whole time? Phew… that’s a bit scary, but it’s impossible, right? There wouldn’t be any benefit in doing that.
“Pfft…”
After hearing her defense, Celthina seemed to be stifling a laugh. After a long while, she finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
She gave the silver-haired girl—who was completely oblivious to the situation—a playful look. After a while, she managed to control her laughter and waved her hand.
“Well, Miss Keti, sometimes it’s just like that. Far away on the horizon, yet right in…”
“Cough, cough, cough! Celthina, have you played enough?!”
Suddenly, before the silver-haired girl could figure out what the other woman was about to say, her enemy standing beside her called out to the Great Elf in a panicked tone.
Keti blinked in shock on the spot and immediately tried to pull back her hot-tempered enemy. No, no, no… you can’t do that. Please, calm down a little.
How did Lynn dare to speak to an Executive like that? Gu… if you want to die, don’t, don’t, don’t… don’t take me with you, okay? I haven’t resolved myself to die for love with him yet, hey!
Did he think it was cool to speak forcefully in front of her and act like he was protecting her?
Fine, it was actually a little bit cool, but, wahhh, I’m sorry, I’m a coward, meow…
Eh… wait, wait?!
Just as Keti was trembling with fear, the silver-haired girl suddenly noticed something was off.
Yeah, wasn’t there something very wrong right in front of her?
She was so focused on how bold her enemy was, actually daring to call an Executive by her name, but… why did it feel like Lynn actually had the confidence to do it?
That’s why he dared to call Celthina that directly, wasn’t it?
He was different from her. He clearly knew Celthina from the very beginning, right? And I remember his attitude wasn’t very good the moment he opened his mouth. This…this was way too suspicious!
One had to know, the other party was an Executive who held the power of life and death over ordinary people!
A minor Teacher like Lynn, no matter how much money he had, was ultimately just a Teacher. In front of an Executive like this, was there really any difference between him and a small fry like her?
Keti felt that in the eyes of this Great Elf, both of them should just be a piece of cake.
Cough, cough. Of course, “piece of cake” didn’t mean that kind of piece of cake; specifically, it meant they were beneath mention.
However, looking at the atmosphere between the two of them now, what Keti felt wasn’t awe or fear at all. Her enemy had never shown even a trace of cowardice despite knowing the other person’s identity.
Furthermore, her enemy had even been invited by her. This Celthina was a Lord Executive!
Knowing this, and thinking about how the other woman originally intended to go to the Temple with her enemy to handle some business… this…
*Hiss*—
Is this the kind of treatment a normal person should have?
No, no matter how I think about it, it’s wrong, isn’t it?
Unless… there’s only one possibility. That is, this guy, my enemy…
He isn’t an ordinary person at all?!
This…
Ya ya ya, that’s impossible, right?
When this thought suddenly popped into her head, Keti admitted she was a little bit skeptical. After all, it seemed impossible no matter how she thought about it, right?
Wasn’t Lynn just a Teacher at the Magic Academy? Not only could she testify to that, but Director Richard could also testify to it. The other students also knew their Class Advisor was Lynn.
But…
Was a Teacher from the Magic Academy really that powerful?
Ugh…
Keti was now truly beginning to have doubts. In her mind, the words this Miss Elf had just said to her suddenly resurfaced.
“Sometimes it’s just like that… Far away on the horizon, yet right in…”
“…Front of your eyes…”
Involuntarily, she completed the sentence in her heart, and then…
Keti’s gaze slowly fell upon… Lynn, right in front of her.
*Hiss*—
Wait, wait?!
An extremely terrifying thought suddenly surged in her mind.
Could it be that the reason Lynn could deal with a Mage Executive so calmly—and even the reason he could help her so much with abilities an ordinary teacher definitely wouldn’t possess—the huge truth hidden behind it was…
“Ga, ga… L-Lynn, you, you, you…”
“You aren’t an Executive, are you?!”
The moment she thought of such a possibility, ahh—!
At the same time, the silver-haired girl’s worldview collapsed. Once her guess just now became the truth, then… then…
A huge problem would arise!
And that was…
The person she punched back then might not have been a teacher from the Magic Academy, but…
One of the Five Archons of the Imperial Magic Tower Council, a Lord Councilor, ahhhhhhhh—!
In an instant, the silver-haired girl was drenched in cold sweat, her eyes darting around wildly.
From trembling before one Executive, Celthina, to trembling even more awkwardly at the prospect of her enemy also being an Executive…
It had to be said, for this emotional transition, not much buildup was needed. After all, Celthina had already finished the buildup for her.
It was just, it was just…
Thinking about how much she had offended Lynn during this period, even fiercely arguing with him through the jar at night, as well as the things he had done to tease her lately…
With all these things combined, one side was the pounding heart of hindsight, and the other was the pounding heart of shame. In short, in short…
Miss Keti’s expression had rapidly progressed to the point where she was about to faint from panic and fear on the spot!
Gu… k-kill me—!
“Eh, wait! Wait a minute, Keti-chan! Phew… no, it’s not what you think. It’s not like that! I, I, I… I’m actually… uh…”
On the other side, the Lord Executive, also drenched in sweat, hurriedly caught Keti, who was about to collapse and fall asleep. This… this was going to be the death of him!
