Chapter 118
The Gathering of Stars had been like a sudden gale sweeping through a dead calm.
The aftermath of that storm was significant.
Realizing that four individuals named as members of the Eclat Sept were present at Partes Academy, students watched Delphina and Verde—who were walking with Khal—with gazes filled with awe.
The crowd whispered and buzzed.
Since both possessed striking appearances that naturally drew attention, Khal was beginning to feel irritated.
Swish!
Finally, Khal turned around and spoke to Verde and Delphina.
“You’re being a nuisance. Get lost.”
“Weren’t you the one who threatened us to come study abroad?”
Verde retorted with an incredulous expression, while Delphina spoke as she stroked Bava.
She, too, seemed full of dissatisfaction.
“In the first place, you were the one who stood out the most back there, Senior. I think it’s wrong to blame us.”
Since he had utterly shattered Petro’s Barrier—and no one else’s—it was only natural for everyone to be curious about Khal’s hidden strength.
Glancing around, Khal felt the weight of the eyes stealing looks at him.
He let out a sigh and asked, “So, why are you following me?”
Delphina gave a bitter smile and replied, “It’s because we aren’t exactly fools.”
“What do you mean?”
In response to Khal’s question, Verde plucked a leaf from a tree in the garden and showed it to him.
The green leaf, which should have been vibrant and full of life, was now strangely dying, its vitality drained.
“A massive amount of geomantic power is being stolen. You’re likely already investigating the reason behind this.”
