At the residence of the Lunar Academy…
Grey told Klaus and the others what happened after he left the Jade Water Paradise. He gave them a detailed description of the entire event, and they all felt like they were there when it happened.
“Those scumbags”
Reynolds said through gritted teeth.
Grey looked at him and was almost a hundred percent sure Reynolds was the one who hated the Starlight Academy the most.
While the others were speaking, Klaus stayed unusually quiet. He suddenly spoke up,
“There’s still something puzzling about the story”
The rest looked at him with interest.
“You said one of them suddenly appeared and tried to stab you with a dagger?”
He asked
“Yes, I didn’t really get a good look at the figure. But I think the person is also one of them. He just hid and waited for the right time to strike, luckily, I was fast enough to make sure he didn’t hit my vitals”
Grey answered, he was totally taken off guard when that figure suddenly appeared.
“I don’t think so”
Klaus said calmly.
“Huh”
Not just Grey, but Reynolds and Alice were also taken aback when Klaus said this.
“From the way the person appeared, I think it was an assassin”
Klaus told them his conjecture. From the way the figure stayed until that moment to strike, it was evident the person was quite experienced in it.
“Assassin!”
The others all exclaimed in surprise.
“But what I don’t know is who would want to send an assassin to kill you, and why?”
The group looked at Klaus with surprise. Grey thought about it and couldn’t help but feel what Klaus said was right.
“I don’t think I’ve offended anyone since we got to the city”
Grey said after some time. He rarely had contact with people, how will he offend people and didn’t even remember it?
“What about the Starlight Academy?”
Klaus asked
“Why would the Starlight Academy send someone to assassinate me just because I beat up one of their students?”
Grey said. He didn’t think the people from the Starlight Academy did it, he knew they were upset he beat up their student, but sending an assassin to kill him is just being unreasonable.
“Beats me, but they are the ones I think are likely behind it, or, the family of the boy you beat up”
“We all have to be careful from now on. I’ll inform my father about this”
Klaus said to the others. They stayed for a while before they all left. Grey decided to tell Chris about Klaus’s deduction.
“It’s definitely them”
Chris said without a second thought. After hearing the full details of the fight, he couldn’t help but applaud Klaus’s perception. For him to be able to know there was something different about the figure was brilliant.
“By chance, did you see any symbol in the shape of a hand on the dagger?”
Chris asked to confirm if it was the group he suspected.
“I don’t know since it happened too fast, but from what I could remember when I touched the dagger, it was made from what seems to be steel. Oh!, and the dagger is black, even the blades of the dagger were black”
Grey said
“It’s definitely them”
Chris mumbled
“You know them?”
Grey asked when he heard what Chris said.
“Why are you asking? Now get to training, if you were able to make the inscription faster, you wouldn’t have been beaten so badly”
Chris reprimanded him
“Teacher, how come all my injuries were healed when I woke up?”
Grey couldn’t help but ask, he was puzzled by this, but he had not been able to ask Chris because of what happened earlier.
“A miracle”
Chris answered nonchalantly.
Grey left frustrated after not getting any answers from Chris, he was sure Chris definitely had a hand in it.
After Grey left, Chris squinted his eyes.
‘Hmph!, To dare try to assassinate my cook’
