Chapter 344: Party 2.5
Emilia sighed inwardly, doing her best to suppress the lingering doubts that threatened to creep into her heart.
She knew that, as the Saintess, she couldn't afford to waver in her faith.
Her devotion to the Goddess was unwavering-her trust in Her absolute.
That much hadn't changed in the slightest.
And yet... even with her steadfast belief, she couldn't shake the unease settling deep within her chest.
Something about the divine light from yesterday felt too significant to ignore, like a missing piece of a much larger puzzle-one she needed to solve before the academy found itself plunged into an unseen crisis.
"I wish Miss Uriel could investigate with us..." Emilia mumbled, her voice tinged with quiet disappointment.
Vanessa, walking beside her, gave a small smile. "Well, she's currently busy reassessing the events from yesterday. The academy's internal affairs department is also conducting their own confidential briefing on what really happened," she explained, her voice laced with understanding.
She glanced at Emilia, a knowing look in her eyes.
"Since, you know... we did eliminate a professor and all."
Emilia frowned slightly at the reminder. It wasn't as if she had forgotten, but hearing it out loud made the weight of the situation settle on her shoulders all over again.
Right now, she and Vanessa were making their way toward the site of the incident in the commercial district.
Their goal was simple: investigate what happened and uncover the true source of that overwhelming divine energy.
The area had already been sealed off and restricted by the academy, but Emilia had received special clearance from the principal himself.
That meant access wouldn't be a problem.
Even so, she couldn't shake the feeling that what they were about to uncover wouldn't be something so easily explained.
Anna and Amon, Emilia's personal guards, were at an all-time high alert.
What do you think?
