After returning to our own Base — or rather, Class A's — that night, I met up with Ming Hao and Long Lu once more in the meeting room.
Placing the Flags I had stolen on the table, I prompted for Ming Hao to take them. He did, gratefully.
"Good work, Xuan Kai," Long Lu praised. "I thought you just had a good head on your shoulders, but your magic is no joke either, huh? Normally, other people, even Shadow Magic specialists, can only hold Invisibility for a minute at most. But you stood there for nearly two."
"Ah… about that, I have a Magic Artifact that helped me, that's why," I replied.
"Oh… is that so?" Ming Hao smirked suggestively, and I shot him a glare.
"Haha, I see, I see… but that really was brilliant. I saw the whole thing happening… it seems Class C thinks Class B stole their Flags, huh?"
I nodded. "We just got lucky, really. If those two classes hadn't fallen apart at that exact moment, it might not have worked out this well."
